I have made very clear, many times, the problems that I have the Newton, but that does not diminish how awesome it is that Cambridge has made the Newton Papers available to the public.
Great work Cambridge!

A terrible story of a boy, his logarithms, and addiction.
Paradoxes
Thank you very much to the student in Mathematical Thought at the University of Arkansas that showed this to his class while I was sitting in on the class.
SCC 42: Colin T Graham

Samuel Hansen is back at the helm of Strongly Connected Components talking to Colin T Graham, the man behind the twitter hastag #mathchat. They talk about #mathcha, the intersection of mathematics and origami, and mathematics and music. Be sure to check out #mathchat, its twitter, its archive, and Colin’s twitter and blog.

Combinations and Permutations is Coming Back!
Here at ACMEScience.com’s new, world headquarters in Niagara, WI we have been bouncing ideas around as to what to do with the Combinations and Permuations brand since the original show has now run its course. I am happy to say that we now know: We are going to turn Combinations and Permtutations into a first person storytelling and collage show. Every couple of weeks I will post a request for stories on some sort of topic, and any one who has a story that relates can call into the skype account name ACMEScience, leave a voicemail, and I will edit together a story collage from those voicemails. Not only that I already have my first request for stories right now.
I want you to call in and tell me about a teacher or a class that got you really worked up about mathematics.
I do want to be clear, this can be a story about getting worked up in a good or bad way, for example it could be a class that made you super angry or the teacher that made you decide to study it as your vocation. Also, and this is important, you do not have to be a mathematician or math student to call in, I want everyone to take part in this project. If you have a story to contribute all you have to do is log into skype, add ACMEScience, and leave me a voicemail with the story on it. If this does not work for you, just record your story and send it to me via samuel@acmescience.com.
I really look forward to your stories, and we are all happy to get Combinations and Permutations back off the ground.
