Brian Eno's "Ambient 1" only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it went on to start an airport.

Poem

There is an interesting stanza from a song of Léo Ferré:

    Et que les globules figurent

    Une mathématique bleue,

    Sur cette mer jamais étale

    D’où me remonte peu à peu

    Cette mémoire des étoiles.

    — (Léo Ferré, La mémoire et la mer)

He also mentions geometry and ‘théorème’ elsewhere in the song.

not on my bingo card: an ε-δ definition of continuity in category theory (from 'Homotopy Linear Algebra' arxiv.org/abs/1602.05082)
Let Lin  ←−− be the ∞-category whose objects are the presheaf categories SS with S  locally finite, and whose morphisms are the continuous linear functors: A linear functor F : ST → SS is called continuous when for all ε ⊂ S there exists δ ⊂ T and a factorisation  ST //  F  Sδ  Fδ  SS // Sε.  Here we quantify over finite groupoids ε and δ with full inclusions into S and T ; the horizontal maps are the projections of the canonical pro-structures.

today's (well-known) trick in category theory: the pasting law for pullbacks works in two directions, i.e. if the right square below is a pb then the left square is a pb *if and only if* the pasting is in other words: drawing the pb corner on the right isn't ambiguous notation
two pullback squares, side by side

it's a common misconception that math has no real world applications, in fact it has application in worlds over every field of field of characteristic zero

Debunking can be a fun way to find an audience in science communication, but I think it can be over-relied on. We should be celebrating more than we are defending, not just because it’s less miserable, but also because it’s good marketing!

in hindsight, it was pretty obvious that a polynomial is solvable when its Galois group is solvable, it's right there in the name

As an immortal Maia, the Balrog of Moria could not die, it merely returned to a spirit form and was forced to drift impotently through the world. By the late Fifth Age it had regained enough strength to take on a new physical body, albeit a frail one compared to its previous demonic form, but […]
