Launched on 1st December 2025, AMiE brings together a broader network of dedicated people, resources, and expertise, to advocate for and improve the teaching and learning of mathematics.
It's just come to my attention that _The Mathematicians' Library_ is shortlisted for @chalkdustmag.bsky.social's Book of the Year 2025.
It's got quite some company! Merely being on that list is a privilege, and I'll take it, thanks.

If you've ever wanted to know more about my actual job at Cambridge, this interview with Varsity is the one for you. I also talk about my background, my journey through Oxbridge, and why outreach is central to everything I do.
Give it a read and let me know what you think :)
What if some maths was formally part of the History curriculum? History gives maths more context and its stories can captivate students. @teakayb.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gy and I are at the @histassoc.bsky.social conference in May, aiming to talk to hundreds of history teachers. www.haconference.com
Last week, we released the shortlist for the Chalkdust Book of the Year 2025. Head over to chalkdustmagazine.com/book-of-the-year/chalkdust-book-of-the-year-2025/ to vote for your favourite book on the shortlist.

Don’t forget!
How many lines lie on a cubic surface? (The answer is 27.) A statement that’s been known for nearly 180 years has recently gained fresh nuance and relevance. www.quantamagazine.org/new-math-rev...
Surprised to see the issue of remembering maths formulas is exercising so many people who don’t have to remember maths formulas

There are six small pink squares, and a larger tilted purple square which shares ones vertex with the bottom pink square. One vertex of the top pink square lies on the top edge of the purple square. A line from the bottom right vertex of the rightmost pink square makes an unknown angle with the left side of the purple square.
Seven squares. What’s the angle?

The mathematician and podcaster Demian Goos has been obsessed with the story of set theory’s birth for years. Last March, he found a letter from 1873 that was thought to have been destroyed during the Second World War. It rewrites the story he thought he knew.

Terence Tao is perhaps the world’s greatest mathematician—and now he seems bullish on AI’s potential to open up a different “way of doing mathematics” and push the frontier of human knowledge. Read his conversation with @matteowong.bsky.social:
Screen grab of task from https://undergroundmathematics.org/introducing-calculus/a-tangent-is
Used this from Underground Maths today. (undergroundmathematics.org/introducing-...) Prompted great conceptual discussion around zooming in and looking at local properties on curves. It made differentiation from first principles so much easier to grasp afterwards too. Love UM! #MathsToday
