Ha! Do you know anything about what is going on with them?

MathsWorld – London’s new Museum of Mathematics MathsWorld is an interactive museum in London with innovative hands-on exhibits that explore the beauty, wonder, and everyday relevance of mathematics for visitors of all ages.

Excitingly, Today's the opening day of MathsWorld, the new hands-on maths museum in London. I've really enjoyed visiting MathsCity in Leeds, but they've now got a London location too! Details at mathsworld.com

"New Far Side comics" was definitely not on my bingo card for this week. They're not bad!

Springer!

Found it! Many thanks.

If anyone here has access to the "Journal of the Early Book Society", I would be most grateful if you could send me "The Scribal Transmission of Northern Dialect in the Reeve’s Tale" by
Thomas J. Farrell, pp. 75-110 in Vol 25 (2022).
I do not currently have access to interlibrary loan. (Thanks!)

Anybody here with access to the Times Literary Supplement? There is an article from last year I would like to read.

If anybody with access to "American Literary Manuscripts : An Essay Review" by John C Broderick (Resources for American Literary Study (1976) 6 (1): 85–95) could share the review with me, I would be most grateful.

Mohammad Golshani (on FB): <17h ago> I am very sad to say that Ronald Jensen, a leading set theorist and one of my favourite mathematicians, passed away yesterday. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Jensen (The post includes a picture of Ronald smiling.)

Hoping someone can help me here: what would be a library or online resource (or other options) where I could find some of the publications of the (long defunct) Center for Editions of American Authors? Particularly their Newsletter, their reply to E. Wilson, their Statement of editorial principles.

The distinction between the strict and non-strict version is useful, sure. For instance in analysis, any continuous monotone function is differentiable a.e. But its derivative is never zero if strictly increasing, while the Cantor function, which is non-strictly increasing, has zero derivative a.e.

This was fun! I wouldn't have made a big deal (or a deal at all) about the "too" in the sentence, so I guess it also taught something about English. Again, thank you.

I have an amazing opportunity Sept. 15-19. I'll be at the Santa Fe Institute with a dozen invited humanists and scientists discussing this topic: "How do we reconcile traditional humanistic inquiry with mathematical modeling approaches that are reshaping knowledge production?" 1/5

Nice shirt, too.

Thanks. It's been too long since I've read Lakatos. Will revisit.

Cool. Thank you!

😀 Ah, excellent! Again, many thanks.

Now I'm curious. Do you know other examples of papers where, similarly, the authors disagree on some point, and argue their opposite positions separately?

The authors begin by saying that they disagree on the answer. Smith argues for 5 pages that it is No, and then Walker argues for the other 5 that it is Yes.

Did the Infantes de Carrión intend to kill the Cid's daughters? Published in Bulletin of Hispanic Studies (Vol. 56, No. 1, 1979)

A natural question is whether they actually meant to kill them or not. I found a paper on this topic that discusses it following what seems to me to be an unusual approach:

Reposted from Mathstodon, because I am still interested:

In "Cantar de Mio Cid", the infantes de Carrión, married to the Cid's daughters, decide to repudiate them, take them to an isolated area, beat them within an inch of their lives, and abandon them.

Great! Thank you. (That original price, though.)

(Sorry to revive an old thread.) Can you recommend a recent edition of the book that is not modernized? It seems harder to find than I expected.

Can you share the name of the article? It sounds interesting!
