"Steven Strogatz is the Schurman Professor of applied mathematics at Cornell University. A renowned teacher and one of the world's most highly cited mathematicians, he has been a frequent guest on National Public Radio's Radiolab. Among his honors are MIT's highest teaching prize, membership in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a lifetime achievement award for communication of math to the general public, awarded by the four major American mathematical societies. He also wrote a popular New York Times online column, "The Elements of Math," which formed the basis for his new book, The Joy of x. He lives in Ithaca, New York with his wife and two daughters."

A Mathematician’s Lament by Paul Lockhart

G.H. Hardy
"A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas."

20018 Fields Medal Winner: Akshay Venkatesh

Professor Akshay Venkatesh (who entered university at 13) has become the second Australian to win the coveted Fields Medal, the maths equivalent of a Nobel Prize.
