Math modeling is learning what to do when the first idea doesn’t work: question an assumption, listen to a teammate, revise the approach, and keep going.
That’s the mathematical modeling mindset. Read the story: comap.org/blog/item/mathemat…#MathModeling#MathEducation

Earlier this month, I participated in a two-day workshop at the Simons Institute on how the TCS community should adapt to rapid advances in AI. Our report, AI and TCS: The Next Six Months, is now out:

am about to give a talk to the math dept @Penn on how to use AI to do math research. i did an experiment where i started 40 hours ago, fed claude/chat a half-dozen old unloved papers of mine on euler calculus, and had it generate new results / find hidden uses outside of math / build deeper connections in pure math.
not bad! came out with three research directions, a half-dozen new potential applications, and a 10-page preprint of a geometric analysis result that looks to be solid after a few reads.
oh, and claude took a few screenshots of slides from an old talk of mine and build a 60-slide powerpoint deck in my style with original images (!) and videos (!!).
and we're getting better from here...

Students sometimes ask me if it still makes sense, in this accelerating age, to pursue a PhD in AI.
Perhaps counterintuitively, I think it's a great time to do so.
I wrote up some thoughts on this here: web.mit.edu/phillipi/www/wri…

We are delighted to announce Amir Yacoby as inaugural Ray Dolby Professor of Theoretical and Experimental Physics. He is joining the Cavendish from Harvard to develop new ways of probing and understanding quantum matter.
A very warm welcome to him!

I hope the people I meet here will help shape the questions we ask and the directions we take. The Dolby family’s generosity creates an exceptional opportunity to pursue that spirit of discovery alongside the next generation of physicists.”

Larry Guth gave the best math classes I had in my whole life.
In my first PhD year, I would wake up happy on Tuesdays and Thursdays knowing that I had class with Larry at 10pm (I was in Spain, doing the PhD online due to covid)
Essay worth reading
"What math means to me" (by Larry Guth): arxiv.org/abs/2609.32028
"This is a personal essay about how I see math, what I value about it, and what it means to me."
