Improbable Research
From Terry Tao’s blog (thanks to Michael Trick via Peter Haas for bringing it to our attention): There is [a] type of “bug” that affects mathematicians—the attempt to solve certain problems. These problems have been called “diseas...

Improbable Research
From Dick Lifton’s blog (thanks to Peter Haas for bringing it to our attention): Terry Tao is one of the greatest mathematicians of our time…. Today I want to talk about a topic that he has discussed: mathematical embarrassments—t...

Can an omnipotent being create a rock so heavy that he cannot lift it? I got through the elementary parts of this post by Terry Tao but it got hard.  Amazing subsequent discussion.

The Gauge Connection
Recently, I have posted on the site of Terry Tao and Jim Colliander, Dispersive Wiki. I am a regular contributor to this beautiful effort to collect all available knowledge about differential equations and dispersive phenomena. Of c...

The Geomblog
If you limit yourself to actually reading one Terry Tao post each week (I'm told this frequency prevents brain explosion), then read this one.Joachim Gudmundsson wants to remind you that jausage is much taster than sausage. Oh yes, ...

The Gauge Connection
I have updated the paper with the answer to Terry Tao on arxiv (see here). No correction was needed, rather I have added a new result giving the next-to-leading order correction for the Yang-Mills field. This result is important as ...

The Gauge Connection
Some time passed by since Terry Tao was so kind to take a look to my work. His concern about a main theorem in my paper, the so called mapping theorem, was motivated by the fact that no proof exists that there are common solutions b...

The Gauge Connection
Today I have posted a paper on arxiv. It will appear on monday. This paper was required to my by Terry Tao to supplement the proof of the mapping theorem showing that indeed it holds. If you cannot hold the paper is 09032357v1: prep...

The Gauge Connection
I am a great estimator of Terry Tao and a reader of his blog. Tao is a Fields medalist and one of the greatest living mathematicians. Relying on such a giant authority may give someone the feeling of being a kind of dwarf trying to ...

The Art of Problem Solving
Terence Tao self study a lot? Or did have really good teachers/tutors? Do you think Terry could go through Principles of Math Analysis by Rudin without any guidance? Because I think even he became stuck once in a while and had to as...

The Unapologetic Mathematician
I ran into this manifesto somewhere, and it reminded me of Terry Tao’s call for reasoned discussion, as well as Susan’s atheism post. Greetings to the Imprisoned Citizens of the United States. We are Unitarian Jihad. There is only ...

Blogging has been slow this summer as I (surprise surprise) was actually working. Today the semester starts, so I expect to be blogging more as I attempt to clear my head from the detritus of semester minutiae. Terry Tao has a new p...

Ars Mathematica
Yesterday, everyone was all atwitter over a new preprint by Xian-Jin Li containing a purported proof the Riemann Hypothesis. The optics of it looked good (Li is clearly not a crank), but Terry Tao has identified an apparent error. ...

The Unapologetic Mathematician
In the discussion thread about the movie Outside In on Terry Tao’s blog, a commenter going by Jos Leys points out a new movie called Dimensions. It’s two hours of animation you can download free from the movie’s website. I haven’t...

Neverendingbooks
Terry Tao is reworking some of his better blogposts into a book, to be published by the AMS (here’s a preliminary version of the book “What’s New?”) After some thought, I decided not to transcribe all of m...
