How I feel when I'm walking around DC and I turn onto one of the diagonal avenues:

Interpretation for the non-scientists: When faculty get NIH grants, the University gets some extra cash to make sure the research is supported. NIH just cut that $$ by a LOT. That means Unis are less likely to support research. Most research in the US is done at Unis, so... it's bad 🧪

Any textbook suggestions for a 1st-semester course in mathematical logic, covering (at least) completeness and compactness for first-order logic plus a little model theory? Considering Enderton but want to see if there are better options. This is for a required course for 3rd-year math undergrads.

For the end of November, shortly before the eleventh month became the twelfth, I wrote a piece all about those two numbers. Why does English have the words 'eleven' and 'twelve'? How do they relate to 'one' and 'two'? And what does Lithuanian have to do with all this? dannybate.com/2024/11/30/o...

Happy to see my 3-year-old is really getting into Eurythmics. When "Beethoven" came on my playlist, she immediately got up and danced, and when "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)" followed, she shouted, "This is my favorite!"

Bluesky academics, lets get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren’t working on but keep thinking about 1) understanding sets definable (in the logical sense) in ordered Abelian groups 2) Ehrhart polynomials

We're hiring for a tenure-track tripartite mathematics job in Fairbanks Alaska! Any rank, any research specialty, and you should be excited about teaching at all levels (undergrad/grad). It's a great department. Happy to chat about it. #mathsky #iteachmath www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/25...
