| | | | | The most common question students have about mathematics is "when will I ever use this?" Many math teachers would probably struggle to give a coherent answer, beyond being very good at following precise directions. They will say "critical thinking" but not much else concrete. Meanwhile, the same teachers must, with a straight face, tell their... | |

| | | | | A new way to write mathematics Vladimir Voevodsky won the Fields Medal in 2002 for his work on homotopy theory of algebraic varieties. Using his pioneering methods he proved, among many other things, a deep conjecture of John Milnor, that had been open for decades. Today I want to talk about, no, rant about, a... | |

Proponents of Haskell and other functional languages can put category-theoretic concepts on a pedestal or in a mexican restaurant, and their benefits can seem as mysterious as they are magical. For instance, the most common use of a monad in Haskell is to simulate the mutation of immutable data. Others include suspending and backtracking computations, and even untying tangled rope. | ||
