I don’t really think mathematics is boring. I hope you don’t either. But I can’t count the number of times I’ve launched into reading a math paper, dewy-eyed and eager to learn, only to have my ...
Back to modal HoTT. If what was considered last time were all, one would wonder what the fuss was about. Now, there’s much that needs to be said about type dependency, types as propositions, sets, ...
Most recently, the Applied Category Theory Seminar took a step into linguistics by discussing the 2010 paper Mathematical Foundations for a Compositional Distributional Model of Meaning, by Bob Coecke ...
Faster-than-light neutrinos? Boring… let’s see something really revolutionary. Edward Nelson, a math professor at Princeton, is writing a book called Elements in which he claims to prove the ...
Bless British trains. A two-hour delay with nothing to occupy me provided the perfect opportunity to figure out the relationships between some of the results that John, Tobias and I have come up with ...
