Mathblogging.org Weekly Picks
May 22, 2012 § Leave a Comment
We try to read every blog post that goes through Mathblogging.org. For the Weekly Picks, we collect posts in one category from last week to give you an impression of what the mathematical blogosphere has to offer. (Read this for more information on this change.)
Last week, we focused on ”General“, ”Journalism“, and “Institutions“.
Exposition
- At M-Phi, Catarina Dutilh Novaes discusses a Kantian relic — “logic as umpire”.
