Today is the 76th anniversary of Emmy Noether’s death, a woman whose contributions to mathematics lead Einstein and Hilbert to consider her as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. I know her from Noether’s Theorem, which basically says that symmetries in physics lead to…
I don’t know much of Emmy Nother’s work, and I keep meaning to change that. She sounds like an amzing woman.
Ironically, youtube is both saving and ruining my degree.
This just got posted on the facebook group for my maths lectures, it’s pretty hilarious.
Vi Hart is like the best (I’ve mainly choosen this video for the Charlie Sheen reference, but all of them are gold).

The Pokemon Catching formula.
I have spent all week playing Pokemon Black instead of doing work and my housemate still insists his stupid “press B then hold down the down arrow” magical catch method works, even though he has no control experiment! Laughable.
(I might actually try out the formula they’ve got there later.)
This is a pretty cute video about vectors that we watched in Methods and Applications today.
