Everybody gets a Niche in the blogosphere. With me in the computer science Niche is Good Math, Bad Math by Mark Chu-Carroll. He blogs for two reasons:
- To ramble about the beauty of mathematics, and try to share enthusiasm for the subject.
- To track down the bozos who use bad math to lie, distort reality, and in general support bad arguments; demonstrate their errors and their dishonesty; and generally mock them.
The “bozos” are mostly christian creationists and he really isn’t nice to them. On the other hand he just points out factual and logical errors.
I especially recommend his posts in “good math” category. He posts for example about graph theory, fractals and built a little programming language on the π-calculus.
Way to go, Mark!
