May 20, 2026 will be remembered as an important milestone in the history of mathematics. It marks the first time when a breakthrough on an important, well-known mathematics research problem was made b
Claude Code is so good at coding that it’s easy to forget how much it knows about so many other useful areas of knowledge. I was reminded of this recently when I was coding up a suite of pedagogical M
I attended Day 1 of the Future of Mathematics Symposium at Stanford last Friday May 1. I was unable to attend in person on the second day but watched the Day 2 lectures on YouTube. It was a fun, star-
I enjoy working with Claude Code, and find it to be a pleasant and articulate conversation partner. Among its (his?) many talents are its being very good at reading my intent based on sometimes incomp
Since the beginning of 2026 I've been reading lots of tips about how to increase your productivity when using Claude Code and other agentic coding assistants: skills, hooks, parallel sessions etc - gr

I was watching my wife talk to Claude Code the other day and noticed that she asked it to "please" do something. This caught my attention because in my own sessions I've made a point to not use the wo
Math-colored glasses are glasses that let the wearer view the world from the point of view of a mathematician. In writing this blog, I hope to give you a sense of what it's like to wear such glasses.
