And if you enjoyed Art Benjamin squaring numbers live on-stage at AEOUD, there is plenty more of that in his off-Broadway That Math Show. www.thatmathshow.com

Thanks everyone who came along to An Evening of Unnecessary Detail in NYC! I signed a lot of calculators and one slide rule. Upcoming UK shows here: aneveningofunnecessarydetail.com

Out now: Python 3.14.6 and 3.13.14! A day late to include a last-minute OpenSSL release in the installers. Thanks to @standupmaths.bsky.social for the help with the release notes :) discuss.python.org/t/python-3-1... #Python #CPython #Python314 #Python313 #release

Still an epsilon number of seats left for tomorrow night's Big London Show which don't have the view blocked by a safety rail. That said: I promise to move around the stage so much that no one rail can block me for long. lwtheatres.co.uk/whats-on/mat...

If you’re watching the Women’s Rugby World Cup quarterfinals on the BBC: yes, that was me crunching some numbers! (Just after 12:30.)

Love Triangle is now out in paperback from in the USA!

Tour sales are going well! Shows are not until October but 24% of all tickets are gone. Watch out if you're in Swindon: that show is over half sold; Leeds and North Finchley both > ⅓ gone. standupmaths.com/shows/

I’m celebrating with a semi-unrelated gig in London tonight! Come and see me try new material with the excellent @bechillcomedian.bsky.social and friends. museumofcomedy.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/...

It’s publication day! Love Triangle is now out in paperback. A book about angles is finally capable of bending. www.penguin.co.uk/books/443151...

I'm going to calculate π on the Moon! And you can join in. Get your own Lunar Pi. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sta...

It’s finally happening! I will be at the European Spreadsheet Risks Interest Group annual conference! July 3,4 in London. See sum(you all) there. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/eusprig-20...

I join the fine Cracking the Cryptic folks to see if solving a MIT Mystery Hunt sudoku really did require me to write Terrible Python Code™. youtu.be/WFZ6AMTXUJk

Sorry I stole someone’s sharpie! An audience member at Wednesday’s show brought it for me to sign their calculator and were too polite to say anything when I absentmindedly put it in my pocket. It’s mine now.

I don’t understand how not doing this is even an option, assuming trucks follow classical physics. Or maybe that is the problem and the sign was too small for “trucks - despite the name, please don’t quantum tunnel through the tunnel”.

Thanks Qantas! Really cleared that up for me.

Happy π Day everyone! This year we collided some masses together. In practise: youtu.be/vlUTlbZT4ig And in theory: youtu.be/6dTyOl1fmDo

Melbs! I'll be visiting your Comedy Festival for one night only, with @doctorkarl.bsky.social and other unannounced guests. 16 April 2025, The Capitol. Assuming Australia is ready for me and Dr Karl on the same stage. www.comedyfestival.com.au/browse-shows...

Because 2025 = 45² and 45 is a triangle number, we get these lovely sums: 2025 = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9)² 2025 = 1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ + 5³ + 6³ + 7³ + 8³ + 9³ Pleasingly the next triangle number 55 is 10 more, so get ready for a repeat of this fact in the year 3025.

Get ready for the squarest year of our lifetimes! 2025 = 45² and we don’t get 46² until the year 2116. AND, as a 1980 birth, I’ll get to turn 45 during the square year. I’ve been looking forward to this since when I still had hair. youtu.be/99stb2mzspI?...

Today is my 14π birthday! So this is a reminder that whenever you turn a multiple of 22 you also turn a very-close-to-multiple of π.

I can’t believe we’re stuck behind four busses.

Depending on how you look at this: one of us is faster at signing plates OR one of us has a better and more artistic autograph. Featuring the https://aproblemsquared.libsyn.com plates.

I choose to believe this represents a community beehive initiative.
