Reason for a blog

Hi everyone, thought I’d start a blog to express and share more clearly and succinctly various mathematical ideas, thoughts, speculations and discoveries. I’ve got quite a few math videos at my YouTube site (called Insights into Mathematics at user: njwildberger) and in my MathFoundations series there I occasionally need a place to post longer streams of thoughts.

Might also share some of the admittedly mild adventures of a pure research mathematician, and answer questions that people might have. My mathematical journey has not been particularly standard, and I have been privileged to have stumbled across so much lovely mathematics. I would like to share some of that with you, as well as other speculations and opinions, a bit of personal stuff, some dreams and aspirations, and musings about this remarkable, difficult, and occasionally beautiful world in which we find ourselves.

Thanks in advance to my family for support, and to the Australian taxpayer who indirectly supports academics like myself, giving us a boost up, to see a little bit further. Hope you don’t hesitate to leave comments, ask questions, and share your ideas too.
