5 years ago today, Her Maths Story went live with our 1st story. What started as a small idea has grown into a global, supportive community celebrating #WomenInMaths. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who has shared, read, supported & believed in this journey. Here’s to the stories still to come 💛✨

Thank you for this comment—and for engaging with the post so thoughtfully. It means a lot that the recursive framing resonated, especially coming from someone with your experience.

What do you think of dialogues such as: www.piecesofmathematics.com/010%20Stocha...

I think I will often use dialogue to make mathematical content more accessible, without hiding the scaffolding and ladders, showing only the finished building, but rather showing the sometimes difficult and intricate thought process.

I would also like to make the blog content more appealing and recognizable, with a unique style.

By the way, I will try to write more often for my blog this year. I only do math in my spare time, and I didn't have much of that last year.

From now on the URL of my blog and the account name will continuously be: www.piecesofmathemstics.com / Pieces of Mathematics.

Hello everyone, if you were wondering why I changed the URL of my blog for a while from www.piecesofmathematics.com to www.francescomacri.com and back to the original name: it was due to technical difficulties.

Is there any university that has made a thoughtful, ethical and critical approach to AI one of their core values? That is deliberately not falling for the hype, and instead placing a premium on human creativity and thought? I feel like this could be a real USP these days, and also please hire me!

In den 1960er-Jahren arbeitet Margaret Hamilton als Softwareentwicklerin für die NASA. Anfangs wird sie belächelt. Doch sie ist es, die die Software entwickelt, die 1969 die Mondlandung ermöglicht.
