About:

Fulltime freelance provider of outreach and enhancement in maths ... I talk a lot. About maths.

I talk about other stuff too, like ballroom dancing, juggling, unicycling, education, engineering, software, and "other things".

But mostly about maths.

I tend to follow back, but only if you have something in your profile.

There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all. -- Peter Drucker

Seems to me that useless isn't the right word. The Nazis were very efficient at murdering Jews, but they should not have been doing it at all, and I would not say that is merely 'useless'. That's something far worse than useless.

Seen on Twitter: Any English teacher who uses 'they/them' as a singular pronoun should lose their teaching license. (Think about it ... it may take a moment)

@ColinTheMathmo Because using 'they/them' for the singular is very strange indeed. Especially for non-native.
