Blogs on Maths

Sorry for the delay in this blog. I'm a bit busy nowadays and that has affected the rate at which I blog quite drastically. Well I think now for a few months my blogging rate might be varying a lot. But I hope there will be at least one update per month.


I dedicate this blog to other blogs. One of my blog readers was asking me to start a Math blog with applications in mind. That induced me to search the net for Maths blogs. There shouldn't be much of an overlap, you see. Well the number of blogs on Maths seem to be quite impressive. Of course, I don't have the time and energy to go through all of them. But I did find a few which I found interesting. Some are easy to read. Some are technical. Here are a few:



A tribe
I found some of the discussions here quite good. Nice online community on Maths! :)
Some school level maths
There are some sites which remind you of the school days. Here is a site which school students will definitely like. It gives a flavour that Maths is actually a lot of fun.
Homeschool Math
This is similar to the above but the blogs deal with slightly higher topics.
Good Math, Bad Math
Thanks to Samudrika for the link to this blog! This has a bit of a computer science flavour in it.
Namespace collision
This blog does maths in a rigorous fashion in the mathematician's way. Its Maths postings tend to be a bit technical. Well it is still for beginners. The next one is completely technical.
Interesting Mathematics
Well I was wondering if there are blogs like this for every sub branch of Mathematics! No idea still now. Well I'm now tired of searching! :). The next one will be a lighter blog.
Shripad's Math fun facts!
Nice facts!

And thus ends my tour of blogs. There are thousands of other nice ones I'm sure! I'll write on them as and when I find them.


Well I'll write something original soon. My wife's coming home on her summer break next month. Just busy trying to get myself to be as free as possible during her visit here! So I will be very irregular in posting for about a month from now. (And may be quite irregular till August!) :)


But do let me know if you land up on some interesting sites!

Sorry for not replying/posting for so long!

Well Nikhil, where is this GRID project website? I'd like to take a look at it. I've been trying to think of something to post for sometime, but not getting time to give a serious thought. I hope Good Friday will be good for my blog too! :)

Amit, thanks! :)

Vivek, only one update in a month is too less. Even a lazy guy like me has updated his blog quite regularly.

The site `Interesting Mathematics' looks good but unfortunately my (mathematical) interests are different. I should check if there is such site in linear algebraic groups (I don't want to start one, I know some of your readers will advice me that). :-).

Okay! :). I'll try to update even more. Well as for interesting maths, I believe it will be a lot of work to maintain such a blog and keep it's standard up! It will be easier once one becomes an editor of some journal! :)
