You should add the difficult to prove but easy to understand "Steiner Lehmus" Theorem.


Posted by Aperna Deb16:26, 15 10 2012India
Awesome! But where are the proofs?


Posted by Edmund21:27, 09 10 2012London
Love the idea and the website.

Good website with great content.

Re the list of theorems by women mathematicians: where is Marina Ratner,
Michelle Vergne, Jenny Harrison, etc etc?
(Of course many women mathematicians, for
example Ratner, consider themselves mathematicians, period.)

Awesome site - congratulations! You've made mathematics compelling.

This website is awesome! I only wish my English was better...

Back in 2005, when he started this site, Robin Whitty set out for himself a goal of 366 theorems; one per day for an entire [leap] year! The next theorem will be number 183. This is the halfway mark!

Congratulations for this great achievement, Robin. Only 183 to go!

Hello, I am glad to be able to visit here.

Wonderful idea, terrific work that could easily become a popular math encyclopedia of reference with some sponsoring and editing !

I really liked your blog!

Quite an original idea, but why not the proverb of the day ?

Please find out about your leaders and crimes going on all over the world for ten years now against human rights in general. The own government, in full democracy, is enslaving people, stealing their intelligence, literally, amongst others, you won't believe it. I have proofs exposed of several crimes on my websites. More than 400,000 dead so far gratuitously. I am a victim myself, need your help, am victim since end of 2001, currently slaved. Biotechnology, USA. Please visit hubpages (it is a .com), see profile/MARIAMORTA there to get an idea. The site 'how you can help' brings explanation on what to do. Very little can be done, but reckon it is all there. Rush. Spreading to others already is some help, figures may bring justice, finally, some item of the page 'how you can help' done. Pls rush.

Good stuff!


Posted by Nils Wiegner10:03, 15 06 2010
Thanks for all the information you share with us. It's always a charme to read everything you post in here.

It will very interesting to build the analogous theorem of Van Kampan theorem for the nth homotopy groups, so it will be easy to calculate them.

Great site


Posted by Gérard P. Michon16:11, 08 04 2010www.numericana.com
It was a nice surprise to find the 10-year anniversary of Numericana mentioned prominently on the front page of "Theorem of the Day"... Thanks, Robin.

It's always great to visit this superbly crafted site. The halfway mark (183 theorems) is approaching rapidly... THAT will be a nice cause for celebration!

Great site. Thanks.

love your effort robin, top site that is great value.


Posted by Josh08:37, 29 11 2009UK
I recently bought an A level maths book to try and brush up on the maths I've forgotten since my college days. Its thank's to this site I got back into maths in the first place.

Many thanks!


Posted by Jay00:27, 28 08 2009Chicago
I have been fooling with math too. I really love it. Memorizing binary code and numbers are what I'm into now


Posted by Noelle20:20, 19 08 2009noelle.filippenko@gmail.com
Do you email the Theorem of the Day.
Please add me to your list - thanks.

Yes, Congrats guys!

Big Congratulations and Mahalo on the Women's Theorems 2009 Calendar. Will anyone agree with me that the classic Konigsburg Bridge problem reduces to solving 3 equations in 2 unknowns?? Thank you for input.

Maths is my passion also!


Posted by John12:53, 30 06 2009UK
This has also resparked my interest in Maths. I love it - many thanks!

There is no simple algebraic formula for the catenary_

A great site even though I find the mathematics very difficult but the real mathematician I work with are using the calendar with their A level students.


Posted by Imelda Almqvist19:42, 15 04 2009www.imelda-almqvist-art.com
Dear Robin, your website is such a treasure trove of mathematical ideas - I will keep on coming back for more!!

Had some fun today with the Borsuk-Ulam Theorem. The ingredients were a tailor's tape measure, a ruler and a 'mathematical balloon' (on which I had scribbled numbers). And you know, I did find number correspondences!

The real challenge will of course be to express some of my findings in a painting...

With many thanks for feeding me a diet of mathematical concepts! :-)

Oooh I just love todays theorem! Very harmonious! Keep up the excellent imagery for a simples way to success Mr.Whitty!

Absolutely love todays theorem!! Pretty, colourful, intriguing and full of suprises! Happy Birthday to Ms. Sidhu today too! Keep up the good work! x

Very glad to meet Website like this.
Hope this is one giant step to let people outside of mathematical world
know what we are doing and concerning
...
It is very useful for the mathematician
to know the other side of mathematical world.


Posted by Des Wann22:31, 05 01 2009Australia
What a wonderful site for a retired Head of Mathematics Department! Keeps up my interest in both the history and content of mathematics. It also brings back many memories (both good and bad) dealing with the subtle nuances of the subject.
Well done, Robin.

hi do you remember me??
I'm korean we met near the new cross gate before 10 days.
your homepage is really intereting..
I'm not sure whether you see or not but, I'll just try
have a good day

Well, here I am. As you know, I think theorem of the day is GREAT, and I have spread the calendars far and wide.


Posted by Gagan12:52, 06 03 2008London
Congratulations on the calendar and spreading the word on theorems. Look forward to you next batch of theorem calendars


Posted by Candida11:28, 27 02 2008Salford University
Thank you for brigthening up my days with your beautifully-drawn and colourful theorems! They make maths seem approachable, even to those who scraped through their maths GCSE. Continue to delight!

Congratulations on your 100 theorems! Slightly belatedly, many thanks for the calendar of theorems by women mathematicians. It is an inspiration every day.


Posted by Cahit15:28, 21 02 2008www.emu.edu.tr/~cahit/
Remarkable achievement. Hope to see other 100 theorems soon.

Hi Robin,

Congratulations on reaching that magic number! And how appropriate to celebrate the historic occasion of Theorem 100 with a mathematical object containing word 'century' in its description.

Keep up the good work!

Best wishes,

Tony.


Posted by John16:37, 19 02 2008London
The calendar looks cool!


Posted by Pinky15:14, 19 02 2008London
As a non-mathematician, I can only appreciate the theorems from an aesthetic point of view - but love the links to artwork too!


Posted by Charles Wallingford15:03, 19 02 2008Donostia
Keep up the good work!
