Finally received my copy of Raffaele Danna's new 📖. Having had the chance to blurb it, I can say that it will certainly be a reference work for anyone working on the diffusion on indo-arabic numerals! #HistSTM #mathshistory

I’ve spent the day at an excellent @mathshistory workshop to remember the great David Singmaster.

The London #sciencemuseum have a great collection of maths history. I saw: A liquid computer for economic differential equations; an old trig circular slide rule; and the analogue computer for tide predictions.

Good times all round, strongly recommend.
