Five of the Best Mathematics Blog

An article about the five of the best math blogs on the internet. One of the blogs is a collaborative attempt at creating a proof of a Theorem. Another blog was created by a number of Berkeley students. A third is more about physics than maths but written from a mathematician's point of view, there are posts about the life of a mathematician, mathematics as a profession, news within the academic community and general interest problems. To read more about the blogs click on the following link.

Science: Spore

I have had mixed feelings about posting this link on my blog as it is a pay to play game with a free trial, however after much deliberation I have decided to post it as I believe the educational opportunities are great. It is an evolutionary simulation game.

I want to ensure that you all understand that I am not encouraging you to purchase the game.

The link provided allows you to download a free trial of the game which allows you to create and guide your own creature through five generations. You also create the environment they live in; buildings, vehicles, etc. There is also an opportunity for collaboration as other players can use and share everything you create.
