My name is Colin and I am a freelance mathematician. That means you can hire me to solve the kind of problem you've been avoiding.

Email [email protected] and let's see what we can figure out.

@IMcMillan I thought I'd spotted a collection of artists from York in the mirror, but it was just a wardrobe.

Hello! My name is Colin and I am a mathematician.

Happy birthday to Ludwig van Beethoven; I was once asked in a radio quiz for his forenames and was genuinely baffled when the "correct" jingle played because I'd only given three.

Hello! My name is Colin and I am a mathematician.

Today is the birthday of Admiral Grace Hopper, one of the architects of COBOL and hence of modern computing. If you've got code nobody understands, that you're scared to touch in case it breaks, give me a shout. Maybe I can help.

Hello! My name is Colin and I am a mathematician.

Today is the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery. I understand there's still work to do. Let me know if my skills can help.

[Colin Beveridge @icecolbeveridge]

Happy anniversary to all who celebrate!

66 million years ago, a massive asteroid struck what is now the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, marking the end of the age of dinosaurs.

In 2022, science writer Riley Black joined us to discuss what the final days of the dinosaurs may have been like.

It's remarkable the degree to which me posting "don't let Nazis into your community" is causing people to project their anxieties about politics and community on me.

Yes I understand that you come from a country with broken politics. I do too. Community management still matters.

@reflectivemaths @cjshore Radical suggestion: how about you eat the bread the way you like to eat it, and everybody else eat the bread they like, and boom! everybody's happy?

Hello! My name is Colin and I am a mathematician.

Today is the birthday of mathematical logician Ernst Schröder. If you need more logic and/or maths in your work, you know where to find me. Over on mathstodon: https://t.co/ccVRSTtpUh

Hello! My name is Colin and I am a mathematician.

Today is the anniversary of the first Calvin and Hobbes strip. While in my heart I identify as both, I know that in reality I'm the perplexed dad. Let me know if I can help turn a problem from Calvinball into a snowball fight.

Did you see the wonderful @samhartburn at our Monday show? Here's a clip of the big reveal from her set!

You can see incredible nerdy performances at all of our shows, including our final show of the year at London's Cambridge Theatre on 2nd December

@nathanday314 @reflectivemaths I feel like there's something along those lines in Tufte, but it's in a different room and I have a dog on me. I'll try to check tomorrow.

A significant filament eruption from the Sun just now! We’d been watching this one for several days, waiting for the eruption - and here it is! #spaceweather

Hello! My name is Colin and I am a mathematician.

Today is the birthday of Martha Annie Whiteley. Someone commented on my "Mathematicians for Equality" badge yesterday; Whiteley fought for the recognition of women in chemistry in the early 1900s. Science is for everyone.

Could they pass a law saying that Trump WAS elected in 2020, with the effect that he's term-limited?
