It has been nearly a month since I posted here. Sorry about that. My friend Sarah Shepherd died last month. I expect many people reading this blog will know Sarah for her work on iSquared Magazine or perhaps you'll have heard Sarah as my guest on the maths news episodes of the Travels in a Mathematical World Podcast.
A fund is open in Sarah's memory in aid of Rethink. Please consider donating to this.
Math/Maths Podcast: Peter Rowlett in the UK talks to Samuel Hansen in the US about news & current affairs.
Math/Maths History Tour: Peter shows Samuel his home & its place in mathematics history.
