"Mathematics is not arithmetic. Though mathematics may have arisen from the practices of counting and measuring it really deals with logical reasoning in which theorems [...] can be deduced from the starting assumptions. It is, perhaps, the purest and most rigorous of intellectual activities, and is often thought of as queen of the sciences." – Erik Christopher Zeeman (1925-2016)

"La mathématique n'est pas l'arithmétique. Bien que la mathématique puisse être issue des pratiques de comptage et de mesure, elle traite en réalité du raisonnement logique dans lequel des théorèmes [...] peuvent être déduits des hypothèses de départ. C'est, peut-être, la plus pure et la plus rigoureuse des activités intellectuelles, et elle est souvent considérée comme la reine des sciences." – Erik Christopher Zeeman (1925-2016)

Can anyone suggest good tutorials for learning an intuition and working with the exterior product of vectors and multi-vectors in general?
Having access to an oriented area (and other oriented objects beyond just directions) seems very powerful.
I've been trying to learn it and show my kids some bits of it, as it seems potentially more learnable than just "vector algebra": there's more there to connect together – the concepts are reinforced by carrying through in to more places?
Anyway – a pedagogical approach to this would be splendid. Thanks!
I am rather excited to be attending the 3 day International Meeting of the STACK Community 2025 starting Monday. To quote from the site
“The annual meetings of the STACK Community are for all users of the STACK automated e-assessment system (https://stack-assessment.org/) to exchange experiences, ideas, and research topics.”
You can see the schedule here

EF Apart from visiting with a furiendo, the other reason is to visit broome bridge, where the quaternion equation was carved into.
"It is therefore through the study of mathematics, and only through it, that we can form a fair and thorough idea of what a science is [...]. Any scientific education which does not begin with such a study is therefore necessarily flawed in its foundations." – Auguste Comte (1798-1857)

STACK Webinar video
The video from my #Moodle Academy webinar on #maths education using the #STACK question type. I do get quite excited during the presentation. I can make all sample questions available on request. I amused myself again when I heard me mention what I would do if I were/was independently wealthy.

If you are curious as to how the Trump Advisors crunched the numbers to arrive at the highly publicized freedom day tariffs watch this 9 minute explanation. Obviously the Office of the President has minimal respect for the intelligence of his supporters and most other educated people. #tarrified #maths https://youtu.be/PWhv-06DNjE?feature=shared

I have posted the 238th Carnival of Mathematics!
https://www.fractalkitty.com/238th-carnival-of-mathematic/
If I missed something please let me know.
There is an extremely slow bit of javascript for untouchable numbers that hopefully won't make the post untouchable.
Thank you @aperiodical for organizing this.
This month we have posts from @mjd Peter Cameron, @two_star, @j2kun, Brian Clegg, @fortnow @KarenCampe, Amédée d'Aboville, Ed Vogel, @standupmaths
There was also an amazing amount of math and art being shared on blueSky with @Ayliean 's math art March prompts

"I’m not interested in doing research and I never have been. [...] I’m interested in understanding, which is quite a different thing. And often to understand something you have to work it out yourself because no one else has done it." – David Blackwell (1919-2010)

Do you know how fast you were going?
No, officer. I looked at my gps and became aware of my exact location.
