Math is the original liberal art, the first stop on any intellectual journey to understand a little more about the world. It's about trying to answer questions, not because they've been assigned out of some dusty textbook, but because the question itself is interesting and the attempt is more interesting still. It's about learning for the sake of learning, studying for the sake of studying. This group is about math for math's sake. The School of Mathematics was founded to cultivate a natural an …

For the present, I've closed the group to new members.  We're pretty far into a specific graduate text on differential geometry and it would be impractical for anyone to play catchup at this point.  The group will reopen when we finish this course of study (or if I decide to include more general meetings).  Thanks for your interest and please feel free to contact me. Are you interested in reviewing or rounding out your knowledge of graduate-level mathematics?  The purpose of this group is to und …

This meetup group is for all of you with felt pouches of dice. This is for all of you who still see the world in 8 bits. This is for anyone who has not sold back a math textbook because you haven't finished all of the problems yet. For everyone who has an original x-wing still in the package, this group is yours. If you've referred to your friends as either a "nerf-herder" or "rouge-2," welcome aboard. Anyone who laughs every time they think about ET for 2600, we know you. If you understand how …

God probably doesn't exist. But that's not the point. We live in a world of breathtaking beauty, of fascinating mystery. And those mysteries only become more compelling as we unravel them. In a universe of natural, mathematical laws, sentient beings arose who cared about that beauty and mystery. Humanism deserves a culture worth experiencing - art that makes us ache at the universe's beauty, connects us to our community, and inspires us to work towards a better future. Humanism deserves a cultur …

The Electric Universe (EU) is a scientific point of view that studies the many ways electric forces shape our world. Everyone accepts that electric forces power our lights and run our computers. But when discussing theories of planets, moons, comets, stars and galaxies, astronomy research and textbooks ignore electricity. It is assumed that ONLY gravity is important in the astronomical world. The Electric Universe is a point of view that challenges the popular “gravity-centric” perspective. EU r …

We are a group of science and mathematics students interested in developing high efficiency methods of living. We are interested in redoing everything and redefining all the norms. We believe there is a scientific way to approach old ways and maximize the quality of everyday life. The technologies we are currently looking at include but not limited to wind turbines that produce water by condensing air and high lipid algae for biofuel. We continually research new technologies and welcome every an …
