Getcher math on

The New York Times has started a series of columns on math, "from pre-school to grad school", written by Steven Strogatz, a Cornell professor. It starts with the basics - in this case, counting, featuring a clip from Sesame Street. Looks promising.

Thanks for this, Trav, I really enjoyed it. I look forward to more advanced stuff to come :)

Cool! Lily is far more interested in letters, colors, and shapes than in math stuff so far, though she does have fun with the Hippo Hooray numbers iphone app. She always misses 13 when she counts to twenty, and she can't reliably count objects past 3, so in typical helicopter parenting fashion, the more math we can expose her to, the better.
