My wife has (repeatedly) brought to my attention the following two facts: Of the 135+ posts on this blog, none is about cats (I guess that this complex transformation post doesn’t really count). This blog is on the internet. A glaring omission if ever there was one, and not one easily forgiven. So today I’d … More Kot Theodore
I just got back from Paris, where I participated in a summer school on high dimensional probability and algorithms. This was a cool school, with a course on mirror descent by Sébastien Bubeck and a course on applications of matrix sampling by Joel Tropp. I might even get to write about the mathematical content one … More People of Paris
A sole soul in a sole, travelling. Where did it come from? Where will it go?There are things that humankind is not meant to know.

Look, look! It’s a book! I wonder what’s inside. I sure am glad that the Weizmann mathematics library is “in the know” and keeps only the most updated and useful books around. In case you haven’t heard much about prime numbers, you can read about them in the book’s introduction: The introduction is actually rather … More A Prime Book
I just got back from Budapest, where I participated in a summer school on graph limits, groups, and stochastic processes. The school was enriching and contained good lectures from good speakers. I might even get to write about the mathematical content one day, if I ever actually understand what really went on there. But today … More People of Budapest

The natural thing to do, therefore, is to stay cooped up for almost two weeks in the Gymnasium of the small town of Požega, and teach three … More Our beautiful
You may have gotten the impression from my previous post that I went to the United States in order to do a project on randomness and quantum mechanics, or something of that sort. This, of course, cannot be further from the truth. My real goal in life would never be something as silly as mess … More The Oregon Trail
Today I got back from a ten day vacation in Croatia. Croatia is a beautiful country, renowned for its lush forests, crystal lakes, stunning mountains, and dreamy coast. The natural thing to do, therefore, is to stay cooped up for almost two weeks in the Gymnasium of the small town of Požega, and teach three … More Double Trouble – Summer School of Science
Most people hardly take the time to stop and take a good look at the world. We have our lives to run, people to meet, places to go, things to do, and that’s a fact. What’s more, we already know quite a lot about the basic things we deal with in our everyday lives. We … More An Interesting Hitchhiker
