Gowers’ blog is Blog of the Month for October 2011
Reader’s brain is variable. It changes according to what it read. :) I have changed the pattern of selection and style of writing about BLOG OF THE MONTH. At the beginning of August, I planned that I will select some blogs from the education blog-o-sphere and will award to appreciate them for their excellent work. I know these awards will probably never make a difference but hope too that they’ll keep their good works on. So, here is the list of my 10 most favorite blogs, one of which, Gowers’ Weblog, is my Blog of The Month, for October 2011.
- Gower’s Weblog:
Blog of the Month for October 2011.$
Prof. Timothy Gowers (a.k.a. Tim Gowers) is a field medalist and an eminent mathematician. He is a member of the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at Cambridge University . He is ideal of many student and math majors including me. I was not a huge fan of his writing as he has written only a few articles after I joined the web. But as he started his series on ‘CAMBRIDGE TEACHING‘, I have become a regular reader of his weblog. One math student must read his posts on Cambridge Teaching.
Most Recent Post: Basic logic — relationships between statements — converses and contrapositives - Abstract Nonsense:
Second blog, after Gowers’s weblog to be listed twice as my favorites and first to be my favorite consecutively for two months. Abstract Nonsense is Alex Youcis‘s blog on theoretical mathematics in which he proves (..that he’s theoretical..) one theorem per post. It could be the BLOG OF THE MONTH, if Gowers had not started his cambridge teaching series. An awesome and must read blog for math majors.

काफी अच्छे लिंक्स से आपने परिचित करा दिया है. Physics Chemistry और Mathematics पढ़ते पढ़ते आधी उम्र गुजर गयी. जो टीचर समझाते रहे वही चुपचाप समझते रहे. सही हो या फिर गलत. कभी समझाने की कोशिश नही किये क्योंकि इस क्षेत्र में समझने वाले कम मिलते हैं और समझाने वाले ज्यादा!! क्योंकि वैज्ञानिक सोच का कोई निर्धारित पाथ नही होता, हर एक सोच में एक नयापन है. अब उम्र हो चली है.. बिना वजह तू तू मैं मैं करके खोपड़ी क्यों गरम की जाय जब रिजल्ट्स एक ही आने हैं तो.. :)
फिर भी यही मेरा पसंदीदा और चहेता क्षेत्र है. भौतिक उपकरण न मिले तो विचारों के साथ प्रैक्टिकल कर लिए.
आपके प्रयास सराहनीय हैं. एक समय था जब मै भी एक ऐसा ही ब्लॉग बना रहा था. लेकिन भारत सरकार की एक महात्वाकांक्षी परियोजना की तरह उसका भी वही हाल हुआ जो होना चाहिए. :)
आपके प्रयासों में कोई बाधा न आये. इस शुभकामना के साथ विजयादशमी की ढेरों शुभकामनायें.
धन्यवाद। आपको भी विजयादशमी की हार्दिक शुभकामनायेँ।
