Algebraic integers are roots of monic polynomials. There are lots of fun visuals of these in the complex plane (just Google it!) Here are two, from Wikipedia.

As anyone who has engaged with mathematics knows, it is *beautiful*. So much so that some of us devote much of our lives to appreciating and exploring that beauty. While driving to campus to teach today, I was musing on specific aspects of math that I find beautiful… A thread.

The concept of computational positivism, proposed by R. Narasimha to describe the distinct sensibility of Indian science compared to its Western counterpart, takes on new meaning in light of Heinrich Hertz's epistemology, constructive empiricism, and Rich Sutton's Bitter Lesson.

From Indian astronomers to the Bitter Lesson and beyond.

There have been several remarkable developments in combinatorics, my field of mathematics. A few weeks ago I gave a talk to a general mathematical audience in which I described six breakthroughs from the last five years.
