Edelspam

This week we celebrate the 33rd birthday of spam. According to leaders in the industry virus protection and email filtering, over 90% of email traffic is taken up by spam these days. Over 99% of this 90% is no more than annoying, but there is a small portion that targets us, applied mathematicians...

Dynamics of planar fluids: Gene Wayne in the AMS Notices and some links to resources

Links to Gene Wayne's article in this month's Notices of the AMS and some online resources on the topic.

The end of theory?

This is an adaptation of a radio episode from the NPR program Engines of Our Ingenuity. It was inspired by a recent article in Wired on the program eureqa which "discovered" Newton's laws of motion - are Dynamical Systems' analysts becoming obsolete?
