📊 #dataviz #history Who invented the bar chart? Everyone credits William Playfair in his 1785 Commercial and Political Atlas

I give that honor to the cartographer Phillipe Buache for lovely 1767 chart of the heights of water along the Seine.

But there's more ⬇️

Worth reading.

What universities will the government extort / blackmail next?
Terence Tao (@teorth.bsky.social) has written a thread on Mastodon about the impact of the federal grant freeze to UCLA, particularly to his own field of Mathematics. UCLA's IPAM (Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics) could shut down entirely

Turns out, human decision-making to detect the Traitors is "really not very good." Can this also explain the US election of the biggest Traitor of all? 🤔

Why winning The Traitors is not just down to tactics
Mathematical analysis shows deliberations and theorising behind participants’ decisions in the BBC game show are no more effective than guesswork

One of my favourite #ggplot tricks is wrapping long axis labels so they don't take up so much space on your chart

A chiliagon is a 1000-sided polygon, famous in philosophy for Descartes using it as an example of the diff b/w imagining something visually and conceptualizing it.

Anyway I tried to get Gemini to draw it

I've gotten a lot of comments about these posters I found on a FB page & posted here. Obviously, AI generated & filled with the typical problems associated w/that. It highlights how important discussion & knowledge of mathematics history are. #math #mathchat #problemsolving #mathresource #edresouce

This is going to make you feel very small.

Fly away from the surface of Earth, past the Sun, out of the Solar System, through the closest stars, leave the Milky Way, to the cosmic web of galaxies in the nearby Universe.

Pro tip: Instead of cooking your turkey for 4 hours at 350°F tomorrow, save some time by cooking it for 1 second at 5,040,000°F.

When PISA classified kids around the world by how they approached math, it turned out that those who relied on memorization (vs. deeper understanding or relations among concepts) were the lowest achievers in every country. And rote learning of math facts predominated in the US: tinyurl.com/2kfpkm7s
Why Math Education in the U.S. Doesn't Add Up
Research shows that an emphasis on memorization, rote procedures and speed impairs learning and achievement
