Can anyone recommend an interesting blog about maths?
I stopped studying maths at 16. That’s definitely not something I regret - I think I’ve become a far more intellectually curious and well-rounded individual as a result of spending the rest of my schooling on philosophy, languages and business/economics/marketing stuff. (Just ‘cos that’s what worked for me…)
But now I quite fancy learning more about a subject I’ve neglected for a while. Working with web businesses, plus of course some of the pop-econ books of recent years, have made me a sucker for statistics.
Where can I find readable, long-form pieces about the numbers behind the world around me? Is there a “Malcolm Gladwell of alegbra”?
