Carl Sagan: Calculating the Circumference of the Earth in 200BC!
Check out this awesome video of Carl Sagan explaining how Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth in 200BC!
Ms. Smith is published!
This just in from Ms. Smith:
I just found out that the knot theory research and paper I did last summer will be published. It’s my first paper! It is appearing the Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications sometime this winter. If you’re curious, the paper is archived online here. (But no, we did not sneak in any (k)not theory puns.)
Please join me in congratulating Ms. Smith!
Also, while you’re at it, everyone should check out Ms. Smith’s awesome bulletin display now up in the math department hallway:
