I teach math at the University of Texas. I enjoy: novels, chess, jazz, playing French horn, snowboarding, puns, sportsball, games and puzzles.

Happy Prime Day to those who celebrate!

2¹³⁶²⁷⁹⁸⁴¹−1, discovered today, is the largest known prime. It's a Mersenne prime (2ᵖ-1), which are easier to find.

It took nearly 6 years for the GIMPS software to find it after the previous largest known prime. It was also the first Mersenne prime found using GPUs.

🧵Ok I'm someone who has followed the @RealPage price fixing conspiracy in the rental market closely, but this weekend I read the full @TheJusticeDept complaint and my jaw hit the floor. This was flagrant, far reaching and deliberate. Let's dig in. 1/7 https://t.co/Eduv3f9tBR

@morallawwithin Half of my students make this mistake.

Here's another: A friend fixed my leaking toilet. Are they more likely to be an accountant, or an accountant and a plumber?
