150 years ago Adolphe Quetelet died. He was a very influential scientist and contributed to many fields including #mathematics, #astronomy, #sociology, #meteorology... More on him here: bestor.be/wiki_en/index.php/… #OTD #histsci #BMI #Quetelet #histmath

100 years ago the mathematician & physicist Léon Van Hove was born! He contributed to many fields e.g. #mathematics, #nuclear_physics and #cosmology. He clearly made an impact as a theorem, a singularity and a function all bear his name! #OTD #histsci #histmath #quantum #histphys

Adolphe #Quetelet was arguably the greatest Belgian scientists ever. He contributed to many fields, including mathematics despite only publishing for 10 years in that field! 195 years ago he presented his last mathematical publication to the royal academy. #OTD #histmath #histsci

The quiz is written, all we need now is our contestants... The winner's glory will be as infinite as the decimal representation of Pi. The prize is alas only finite. #PiDay #HistMath
Today (3/14 to some) is International Pi Day; a day to celebrate the beauty of maths and think about its role in society. This year, the British Society for the History of Mathematics will be marking the occasion with an online quiz hosted by @FidgeyB! eventbrite.co.uk/e/bshm-pi-d…

A #ThrowbackThursday shout-out to this great group of students from Dr. Richard Velasco’s @oueducation class. I had a blast with them during their visit to the 5th floor #SpecColls last week! #SciEdu #HistSci #HistSTM #HistMath #MathHist
I taught my very first graduate seminar class last night, and I think I already love teaching graduate seminars.
