Linkage

These are things that I’m interested in or that I am currently thinking about. I copied the concept of this blog post from David Eppstein’s blog.

• Someone posted a solution to Terence Tao’s post Word Maps close to the identity which I would like to understand better.
• Aubrey deGrey’s work on the chromatic number of the plane
• Emulating quantum computation with artificial neural networks
• My ultimate goal of understanding Yitang Zhang’s of bounded gaps between primes and Polymath8 with the penultimate goal of understanding the proof of the prime number theorem
• I discovered and recommend a podcast called My Favorite Theorem
• I am currently reading the book The strangest man by Graham Farmelo. Although it is already a bit older I just discovered it recently.
• David Eppstein prepares his classes’ notes by collecting and editing Wikipedia articles. Which is a very cool way to prepare class notes, I think.
