Mathematics of M&M packing
02/16/2004 02:35 PMAccording to a paper in the new issue of Science, researchers were
surprised to discover that M&Ms randomly dumped into a bowl pack
together much more densely than spheres. Why? Assymetric ellipsoids
like M&Ms can touch eleven neighbors when dumped together while
spheres only saddle up to six. Understanding how particles pack
together can help scientists develop new and denser materials, like
ceramics for heat shields.

Python in Mathematics
04/21/2004 09:13 PMPython in
the Mathematics Curriculum by Kirby Urner is something of a
sprawling masterpiece. It really comes in four parts: the first is a
history of computer science in education, the second an appraisal of
the impact of open source on education and the world at last, the
third a dive in to the things that make Python so suitable for
enhancing the mathematics curriculum and the fourth a discussion of
how computer science and traditional mathematics are likely to play
off against each other in the field of high school education.
It's a long read, but well worth it. Kirby drops in numerous short
Python code samples, such as this neat little implementation of
Euclid's algorithm for finding the greatest common denominator of two
numbers:
def gcd(a,b):
while b:
a,b = b, a % b
return a
His thoughs on open source and general geek culture are worth
digging out even if the main topic of the paper has no interest for
you. Here's a sample:
Additionally, I think a key cultural phenomenon is the evolving
perception of geek culture as a whole. What many students discover is
a global network of loosely organized, yet talented individuals,
including many free spirits. The network is cosmopolitan and guided by
some newly articulated principles regarding how some forms of
intellectual assets should remain freely accessible and reusable.
While these values might seem another ideological pipe dream, were
they expressed in merely political terms, in this case the lingua
franca of the movement is source code, and licensing agreements
designed to protect it against leaking off into the proprietary
sector. Even though Python may be used in proprietary ways, Python
itself remains free.
Kirby presented the talk at Python DC '04 back in March. I wish I'd
been there, but the conference was too close to SxSW for me to make it
to both.

Career Options for Women in Mathematics
http://

Recent comments by Harvard University President Lawrence H. Summers,
regarding women and mathematics have spurred numerous articles and
responses. The first article from Yahoo News (1) gives an overview of
the event, his comments, and some reactions. The comment most at issue
is whether or not innate sex differences might leave women less
capable of succeeding at the most advanced mathematics. The second
website (2) offers Summers’ apology and clarifies his comments. The
third article (3), although from 2001, reviews some previous research
on gender differences in mathematics and discusses findings from a
study that, based on longitudinal data, found that “gender
differences are slight, late developing, and subject-specific.” This
response from the Society of Women Engineers (4) offers some further
insight on why there are fewer women than men in mathematics and
science careers. This next website from Engineers Week (5) invites
others to join the discussion forum on this issue. This website (7)
posts the Nelson Diversity Survey, which gives 2005 statistics for
diversity in science and engineering facilities at research
universities, while the next website looks to the future (6) and
offers some short abstracts describing some prospective Career Options
for Women in Mathematics.

Three Mistakes in the Moral Mathematics
of Blogging – Marko's Reply to
Clay
01/17/2004 10:43 PM
Marko points out three mistakes in the moral mathematics of
blogging that Clay has been writing about and articulates very
clearly some key weaknesses in the arguments.
Marko
The first mistake
– lets call it the “Natural Social Institutions”
view – is the simplistic but widely held view that the patterns
resulting from the operation of freely forming networks are acceptable
because the rules of operation of these networks are in some sense
natural.
[...]
The second mistake – lets call it the
“Links from Nowhere” view – claims that link choices
are made under full information about available options and fully
formed values or preferences over those options. We should also reject
this view. Autonomous linking choices are always informed by
incomplete information and incomplete values and preferences. There
are in fact no links from nowhere.
[...]
The third mistake – lets call it the
“Forced Compensation” view – claims that the only
way to address the unacceptable degree of inequality that results from
the operation of a freely forming network is to “force”
people to change their linking behavior. This is a far too narrow view
of the means available to influence the distributions that
arise.
Marko ends by asking some more questions about
justice.
Marko
What
arrangements of inequality are preferable over others from the point
of view of justice? How do we justify to each other the rules,
architectures and tools we adopt in the blogging world?
In answering these questions we should look back to understand the
present. John Rawls put the task description well: “The task is
to articulate a public conception of justice that all can live with
who regard their person and relation to society in a certain way. And
though doing this may involve settling theoretical difficulties, the
practical social task is primary.”
A public conception of justice for freely forming networks. That
could be our shared goal.
You should
read the entire entry on Marko's blog.
