In case you missed it over the weekend, I was a guest on the latest episode of Curious Cases! Join us for a nice chat about tessellation: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0032j1g/curious-cases-tessellation-proliferation

Today's prompt for #mathober is UNIMODULAR LATTICE, which has a surprisingly straightforward definition and some nice famous examples. I made a zine! PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo26

Doritos chilli heatwave with a cheese slice and some chilli crisp drizzled in it; Lister's steak and ale crisps with ploughman's pickle; both in a tiger roll, served with salad and cocktail sausages #CrispSandwichDay

The next #mathober prompt (see the full list at https://mathober.com) is CROSSED PRISM GRAPH, and these are a fun set of graphs with a nice definition and surprising celebrity member. I made a zine and a GGB! PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo25

Next month I'm going to do a thing called "No-zine-vember" where I try to go a whole month without making a zine

After a frankly heroic catch-up effort, here's my third #mathober zine of the day, about MULTIPERFECT NUMBERS - including a diagram I came up with but that surely someone else has already used to illustrate this? PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo24

Prompt 23 for #mathober is DEVIL ON TWO STICKS, which I didn't have a lot to say about but I've made a zine and a Geogebra and it's fun! PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo23

Attempting to catch up with #mathober, here's my zine in response to the prompt for day 22, which is POLYLOGARITHM - hard to draw 4D plots but I've found some fun facts about it! PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo22

Slightly delayed as I've been under the weather, here's a zine for #mathober about PRIME RING. Looks like there's a few possible definitions out there but I like this one. PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo21

A sweater I bought was picking up static electricity, so I returned it to the store. They gave me another one free of charge.

New episode of the unapologetic mathematicians podcast is out today! An interview with the analyst Kasia Wyczesany. #mathsky rss.com/podcasts/una...

sorry, code is fucking beautiful. its fucking magical i can type words in the thing and fucking TRIANGLES just appear ? oops i typed it wrong and the triangles did something i didn't EXPECT ?? now weird shit is happening ?? this is the best shit of all time. i was born to fight the computer

It's day 20 of #mathober, and I don't have the capacity today to research a new thing (NICE VECTOR FIELD) so instead I just built to a glorious pun #sorry PDF https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo20

I've been at it on the Geogebra again for today's #mathober zine: it's all about the ORTHIC TRIANGLE and various other fun constructions you can define on a triangle, which is of course better when you can drag the corners around. PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo19

Day 18 of #mathober is all about BIFLECNODAL POINTS, and writing this made me straighten out some ideas I hadn't properly processed fully before. Also it's a flipping great word! PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo18

An anagram walks into a pub and orders: top row gins, dark ales, and a banana rum. #anagram

Here's today's #mathober zine, which is about DIMENSION INVARIANCE. Or is it actually about homeomorphism? Maybe those two things are homeomorphic (no, they are not). PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo17

Slightly belated zine from yesterday's #mathober prompt, ISOCHRONOUS CURVE. Went on a slight tangent to the actual curve, but I got there in the end (even if it wasn't at the same time as everyone else lol). PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo16

It's day 15 of #mathober! Today's prompt is IRREDUNDANT, which is a very silly word that has a meaning in graph theory and I wrote a zine about it! (sorry, my pink pen looks a lot brighter in real life) PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo15

At the going down of the toast and in the popping, we will remember them.

Just before bed, another quick #mathober zine for today's prompt, ICOSITETRAGON. So many sides! PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo14

Out on the road yesterday so here's a slightly delayed #mathober Zine about the Standard Map! Also it took me ages to colour in PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo13

I continue to find a bit of time each day to produce a zine for #mathober! Today's is about the Reciprocal Prime Constant, which is nicely related to a thing I already knew about, but M is new to me. PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo12

Day 7 of #mathober is all about Five Circles, and I've picked my favourite five circles to showcase. Or are they all just the same circle...? PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo7

#mathober continues, as it will tend to do, and I've done another tiny maths zine, this time on the topic of Connected Topology. How long will I continue? Who knows! I am tired https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo6

It's tonight! Who's coming for a #SciCommBurrito this evening from 6.30pm at Tortilla in the Arndale? scicommburrito.co.uk

Today I learned the most fun new maths words of any #mathober zine I've made so far - hope you enjoy also learning the enjoyable new words! Inellipses are ace! PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo5

Slightly delayed due to not being near a scanner, here's yesterday's quick maths zine for #mathober, on the topic of Linear Recurrence! PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo4

Noooooo

It's #mathober day 3, and the prompt is PERMUTATION. Here's a little zine I made about different kinds of permutations! PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo3

For day two of #mathober, the prompt is Zebra Graph. Here's a little zine with some fun facts about what they are. PDF: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo2

Today is the first day of #mathober (a month of mathematical creativity prompts, see https://mathober.com for details) and I've done a thing: it's a zine about today's prompt, the boundary of an ellipse! PDF here: https://katiesteckles.co.uk/mo1

Next Tuesday, 6th October, is the next #SciCommBurrito in Manchester - join me and other Manunican communicators (mancuniators) of science for a burrito and a chat from 6.30pm at Tortilla (Manchester Arndale branch). Details at scicommburrito.co.uk
