Updated “MaC Fund”: The MathAndCobb Fund for Mathematical Exploration

I have decided to upgrade the scope of the MathAndCobb Fund. As I explained in my previous post, my content generates “content creator funds” and I decided to give back to the math comm…

I'm ready to throw the towel and admit zero is a natural number... In fact the Peano axioms imply ZERO IS THE UNIQUE natural number. Here is the proof: youtu.be/IgwYNMJuwKY

Zero is the UNIQUE natural number

The apparent size of the moon in the sky just happens to approximately match the apparent size of the Sun, making total eclipses possible, and magical looking.

Will mathematicians be replaced by AI/LLM's? ... I don't think so. And all I can see right now is a bright future for math and mathematicians, and great progress powered by LLM assistants and automatic verification. youtube.com/shorts/ELFcU...

Will mathematicians be replaced by AI? By LLM's? Who knows what the future has in store for math...

A mathematician you may have never heard of (unless you are an arithmetic geometer like me) wrote some of the most influential papers of my own math career! This is an homage to Prof. Monsur Kenku, in honor of Black History Month youtube.com/shorts/jRcVL...

Aristotle used a theorem in geometry that characterizes spheres in order to give very strong evidence that the earth is spherical... some 2300 years ago! Let's see the proof of the theorem. #math #sphere #geometry #aristotle youtu.be/SpGXoYh-c5Y

Are mathematicians "cooked", like the kids would say, because AI has found solutions to open problems in mathematics? I'm here to address the doom and gloom and tell you that Mathematicians are more relevant than ever! #math #ai youtube.com/shorts/LeFV0...
