In 2015, Fry decided to say "yes" to everything, which led to her trying stand-up comedy, a TED Talk (invited by the German neuroscientist Alina Strasser), and television work. [20] On 30 March 2014, Fry gave a TED talk at TEDxBinghamtonUniversity [21] titled The Mathematics of Love, which as of December 2023 has attracted over 5.74 million ...

Arthur T. Benjamin (born March 19, 1961) is an American mathematician who specializes in combinatorics.Since 1989, he has been a professor of mathematics at Harvey Mudd College, where he is the Smallwood Family Professor of Mathematics.
The book discusses the psychology of mathematicians, and gives examples of famous proofs and outstanding problems. It goes on to speculate about what a proof really means, in relationship to actual truth. Other topics include mathematics in education and some of the math that occurs in computer science.
An Introduction to the Philosophy of Mathematics is a 2012 textbook on the philosophy of mathematics by Mark Colyvan. It has a focus on issues in contemporary philosophy , such as the mathematical realism – anti-realism debate and the philosophical significance of mathematical practice, and largely skips over historical debates.
Hilbert's geometry is mathematical, because it talks about abstract points, but in Field's theory, these points are the concrete points of physical space, so no special mathematical objects at all are needed. Having shown how to do science without using numbers, Field proceeded to rehabilitate mathematics as a kind of useful fiction.
Lang is recognized as one of the leading theorists of the mathematics of origami. He has developed ways to algorithmetize the design process for origami, [8] and is the author of the proof of the completeness of the Huzita–Hatori axioms. [9] Lang specializes in finding real-world applications for the various theories of origami he has developed.
