I only looked because of my fondness for this video that uses juggling to good effect to teach math in an entertaining way: [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗Among the other resources is the lecture I gave at the series of lectures sponsored by MoMath: [VIDEO] Intended for a general audience.
Read original comment ↗Colin Wright has a fun video on braids formed by the trajectory of juggled balls. Can't seem to find it. Hope he sees this and posts. Found it [VIDEO] On a different note do anyone of you know of a way to browse, College Mathematics, American Mathematical Monthly, Mathematics Gazette, Mathematical Intelligencer ... back issues by volume ? Without an institutional login that is. Scimag was one way. Seems to have disappeared since the Ukraine war.
Read original comment ↗HN now gets about 5 million visitors a month. In case it needs to be said for some of those folks, the OP -- ColinWright -- is also rather well connected from what I gather and part of that circle (of recreational mathematics, etc). [VIDEO] So I imagine the mods granted the black bar in part on the strength of who posted it. They don't do so lightly and have been known to put a hold on threads in the past to wait for confirmation. They haven't chosen to do so this time and there is likely a compelling reason for that. (Example of HN waiting for confirmation: [LINK] ; [LINK] )
