🚨🚨 #MathTwitter Announcement! 🚨🚨
As I'm going through and finalizing chapters in my #VisualAlgebra book, I'm recording a new set of YouTube videos in tandem. This will be more than twice as long as my existing #VisualGroupTheory playlist, with MUCH more content.

What makes a great mathy cartoon? Ben Orlin from the blog Math with Bad Drawings shows us how to make our very own mathematical cartoons in the latest #MathValues! #MathTwitter
Lately, I’ve been missing #MathTwitter. Is it gone? Does it live on somewhere in here?
I’ve been so hard pressed to find math and academic related posts on my algorithm :/
Teaching derived categories means there are a number of technical fine points I finally understand after (checks calendar) 29 years and five months of using them.

Hey #MathTwitter, let's talk (group) Isomorphism Theorems, which I did in class yesterday.
I want to CONVINCE you that they're always in the wrong order, and there should be (gasp!) 5 of them.
I'll end this thread with a question for all of you. Let's get started! 🧵👇

In today's Abstract Algebra class, I introduced automorphisms and semidirect products, despite us not having defined a homomorphism yet. Students should see the intuition behind the concepts, the motivation for them, and the inherent BEAUTY that is too often missed. #MathTwitter
Ok #MathTwitter, this semester has completely burned the love of math out of me and I am sad.
What's a fun expository or intro book to get back into it over winter break?
What readings would you recommend to someone who knows nothing about your area of study?
A beautiful theme across mathematics is "conjugation preserves structure".
How do we impart this knowledge in a memorable way that students will truly understand?
My attempt, after introducing conjugacy classes yesterday. Feel free to use/adapt in your own class! #MathTwitter
Hey #MathTwitter! Here's a little something inspired by @matthematician's "is-it-a-sandwich" activity and #HoagieHomies everywhere. 🥪
What makes a number, a NUMBER?
Would love to hear your thoughts! 🙂
