Animals Can Count and Use Zero. How Far Does Their Number Sense Go? | Quanta Magazine

Crows recently demonstrated an understanding of the concept of zero. It’s only the latest evidence of animals’ talents for numerical abstraction — which may still differ from our own grasp of numbers.

Ask Slashdot: Is There a 'Standard' Way of Formatting Numbers? - Slashdot

Long-time Slashdot reader Pieroxy is working on a new open source project, a web-based version of the system-monitoring software Conky. The ultimate goal is send the data to an HTML interface "to find some use for the old iPads/tablets/laptops...

I admit i don't understand half a thing in math. But it makes me happy that there are people out there who do and who solve decade old problems.

A quotation by Von Neumann, John

If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is.

John von Neumann (1903-1957) Hungarian-American mathematician, physicist, inventor, polymath [János “Johann” Lajos Neumann]

Speech, Association for Computing Machinery inaugural conference, Columbia University, New York (15 Sep 1947)

Bon tout le monde s'en bat sûrement les couilles... ou les ovaires. Mais dans le cadre du développement de mon synthétiseur granulaire, je rattrape mes lacunes en #mathématique. J'écris donc des billets / mémos sur ce que j’apprends / redécouvre sur les sujets qui me manque.

De l'humour poop. Des #mèmes, des #punchlines street crédible. Et des #formalismes mathématiques. Un peu quand même, parce qu'on est aussi là pour ça.

Je vous en propose deux :

• Expression de forme fermée de sommes infinies
• Notion de limite avec Zénon et Euclide
