Given the recent milestones of AI in math, it may be worth taking a look back at how it all started. The Unreasonable Elegance of Mathematics by Stefan Steinerberger (UW Seattle) "present[s] mathematics as a human activity" according to the MAA Reviewer F. Morneau-Guérin...

... He writes that the book is "surprising in its depth" and displays "impressive scholarship", "without making mathematics simplistic". (Review: maa.org/book-reviews/the-unr…) An antidote to hot takes on math and AI? I recommend it to anyone looking for perspective. Take a look 👇...

As promised a few years ago, Huppert's classic text on Finite Groups was translated. The zbMATH reviewer Kıvanç Ersoy calls the translation "especially valuable", "very useful for graduate students" and "a standard reference for researchers". Amazing after 50 years! Links 👇
I just heard the sad news that group theorist Bertram Huppert passed away on October 1st at the age of 94. A student of Wielandt, he was a professor in Mainz for most of his career, up to retirement in 1994. He wrote a some influential books, the most famous being... (1/4)

RIP Per Enflo. A brilliant, if sometimes controversial, mathematician.
Swedish mathematician Per Enflo winning a live goose for solving a 1936 math problem posed by Polish mathematician Stanisław Mazur. This math problem was part of the famous “Scottish Book” of the Lwów School of Mathematics. 1972

"The book will undoubtedly play an important role in the development of the subject" writes Man-Ho Ho in his zbMATH review of the monograph Isomorphism Conjectures in K- and L-Theory by renown topologist Wolfgang Lück (Ergebnisse der Mathematik, vol. 78, 2025). Links👇

open secret: better than strogatz for physics applications. hope to be doing an undergrad reading club session w this book in the spring semester < 3
"For anyone wanting a first serious encounter with this kind of mathematics at the undergraduate level, this is a very good place to start"—Hyeeun Jang in the MAA Reviews on Paul Matthews' undergrad textbook Differential Equations, Bifurcations and Chaos Links below!

Heartbroken by the death of my dear friend Florian Luca, number theorist extraordinaire—brilliant, jovial, and full of warmth. This photo captures happier times together at ICM 2018 in Rio. I will miss his laughter and friendship. Death, be not proud.

Just a friendly PSA that this book is out now! link.springer.com/book/10.10…
This year, the world is marking the 200th anniversary of the birth of mathematician Bernhard Riemann. Renown historian David Rowe has undertaken a deep study of Riemann's life and work, completing what should be his definitive biography. It will be published in June, stay tuned!

Famous mathematician Jean-Pierre Serre will soon turn 100. We just published the fifth and final volume of his Collected Papers, covering the period 1998-2025. This volume is only available in print, in a very limited print run, so hurry if you want complete the set! (Link below)

Very sad to hear of the passing of Misha Kapovich Z"L (March 13, 1963 – June 16, 2026), who lost a lengthy battle with cancer. Our paper on superintegral Kleinian packings and "bugs" was, to me, the "final" word on the subject, and was very instructive for me to learn so much from Misha as we wrote it. I last visited him at his home in May of 2024, when I was giving the Thurston Lectures at UC Davis. While his body was weak, his mind was sharp as ever, and he immediately wanted to jump right into discussing higher rank Patterson-Sullivan theory. He was a great man and a brilliant mathematician. May his memory be a blessing.

"This book is a landmark in homological methods for commutative algebra" writes Hossein Faridian in the Mathematical Reviews! Review link: mathscinet.ams.org/mathscine…
"a new and conclusive presentation of the homological methods [...] a very useful, up-to-date reference book for working mathematicians" writes Peter Schenzel in @zbMATH about the book Derived Category Methods in Commutative Algebra by Christensen, Foxby (†) and Holm. (1/2)

Here is what another well-known historian Erhard Scholz writes about the book: “A fascinatingly broad picture of the personal life and scientific work of Bernhard Riemann. In a masterly way, David Rowe has drawn on a wealth of scholarly work published during the last fifty years”
