For a Black Mathematician, What It’s Like to Be the ‘Only One’
Fewer than 1 percent of doctorates in math are awarded to African-Americans. Edray Goins, who earned one of them, found the upper reaches of the math world a challenging place.

Quote of the day: "In a world defined by software, #access to software decides who has access to our #culture, to our communication tools, about our possibilities in education and at work. #FreeSoftware makes sure that #everyone has the same possibilities to #participate in today’s #society. It fosters collaboration and participation in contrast to proprietary software which divides people and make sure that everyone is on his own."
Great read by @bjoern:

Zero-sum game: "In game theory and economic theory, a zero-sum game is a mathematical representation of a situation in which each participant's gain or loss of utility is exactly balanced by the losses or gains of the utility of the other participants."

Of course, our amino acids are chiral (atoms are placed relative to each other in either a right-handed or left- orientation). And our enzymes also are chiral to allow us to process them. If your handedness flipped, you’d probably starve to death despite eating.

A sci-fi pastiche of the Hobbit, “There and Back Again,” has the conceit that going though a wormhole flips your chirality, switching your handedness down to the molecular level. Must be a non-orientable manifold.

In GR, we only work with orientable manifolds, ones where you can define a global Levi-Civita tensor. If you were walking around on a non-orientable manifold you could suddenly discover you had gone from being right-handed to left (or vice versa).
