Only one week until MathsJam - an opportunity to meet other people who enjoy maths, and play with maths, in a pub or virtual pub. Find out more and join in at https://mathsjam.com

MathsJam is a monthly opportunity for like-minded self-confessed maths enthusiasts to get together in a pub and share stuff they like. Puzzles, games, problems, or just anything they think is cool or interesting. Find your nearest at https://mathsjam.com !

As well as our monthly pub meetings, there are also bigger annual MathsJam gatherings - one in the UK around November, and one in Oceania (New Zealand) - for details visit https://mathsjam.com/gathering

Cheltenham were also enjoying the annecdotes and logic puzzles in Raymond Smullyan‘s “The Godelian Puzzle book“. I also recommended Douglas Hofstadter’s book “Godel, Escher, Bach…” - well known to those of a certain age, but new to our younger members.

Congratulations to our member Max who has just gained his maths degree and hopes now to be attending more regularly. We also discussed Matt Parker’s latest show (we liked it), Cornu spirals and Phasor diagrams.

After a bit of a break, Tacoma MathsJam is back in force. Had a great time, looking at dominoes, and asking similar questions about rectangular triominoes. In honor of the Shouts authors, someone brought a book they had been gifted but not yet explored.

Glasgow Mathsjam has finally worked out how to log in to Mastodon... and our first post is say we managed to solve all the puzzles this month!

Manchester: we have also built a set of Soma cube pieces out of train tickets and covered them in different colours of card, because why not

Manchester: we've been playing with the domino puzzles in the Shout, and found the fun Easter egg (we think!) and also it reminded us of Pips: https://www.nytimes.com/games/pips

King's Lynn Jam is happening at table 93

London UK: on table 1 come find us we have puzzles

Manchester: In position with copies of the Shout, some other puzzles and games, a soroban abacus and some train tickets for making cubes! And remembering to post this month!
