I'm not at SODA/ALENEX this year, so no blogging :(. If anyone is blogging/tweeting/facebooking from the conference, let me know and I'll post a link here. Michael Lugo from God Plays Dice will be at ANALCO, and will hopefully have ... 3
The Unapologetic Mathematician
Like Michael over at God Plays Dice, I’ve gotten a request to post this request. It sounds interesting enough, so:
Eric Schwitzgebel (a philosopher at U.C. Riverside) and Fiery Cushman (a psychologist at Harvard) have designed a “... 4

From God Plays Dice, I hear that Wigner’s celebrated essay is available for your reading pleasure.
Incidentally, I’d considered punning this essay for my masthead a year ago. But while I’m sometimes unreasonable,... 10

Isabel at God Plays Dice finds the definitive review of Dummit and Foote, here at adequacy.org.
