Beyond Euclid #182

Welcome to Beyond Euclid #182, the newsletter for the best mathematics and science stuff of the week. I am Ali, and I curate cool math and science stuff every week to help you have a better week.

First of all, I owe you a big apology for the 20-day silence.

As some of you might remember, during last year’s family vacation, we were involved in a road rage incident that almost ended in a serious accident. Thankfully, this year we finally managed to take a peaceful trip as a family — and it turned out to be full of unforgettable memories with my kids. As a father, I’ve come to realize that nothing is more important than making time for your children. Everything else can wait.

But during those 20 days, I also realized something else: I genuinely missed working on Beyond Euclid. I kept thinking about how soon I could start writing again. Crafting this newsletter brings me real joy — it makes me feel alive.

Anyway, I’ll stop rambling. Here it is — this week’s Beyond Euclid. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

And if you’d like to support Beyond Euclid financially, it would mean the world.
