Welcome to Mathaware.org: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Algorithm
It has come to our attention that a not-insignificant portion of the populace navigates their existence in a state of what can only be described as mathematical illiteracy. At Mathaware.org, we find this both fascinating and, frankly, a bit tragic. Consider this your unsolicited, and likely unwelcome, intervention.
What We Offer (Brace Yourselves):
Are you one of the many who proudly proclaim “I’m just not a math person” as if it were a charming personality trait? Do you view calculus as a dark art and statistics as a tool of deception? If so, you’ve stumbled upon the right corner of the internet. We are here to gently, and with a healthy dose of condescension, guide you through the elegant, and often brutally indifferent, world of mathematics.
Our mission, should you choose to accept it (and you really have no logical alternative), is to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the mathematical underpinnings of reality. From the Fibonacci sequence in your garden to the cryptographic algorithms securing your questionable online purchases, math is the silent, and frequently judgmental, architect of your world. We aim to pull back the curtain on this intricate machinery, not necessarily to make you a “math person,” but to at least make you aware of the beautiful, and sometimes terrifying, truths it reveals.
-
Mind-Numbing Musings: Our team of over-caffeinated mathematicians and recovering academics will provide you with regular treatises on topics you never knew you were ignorant about. Prepare for your comfortable assumptions to be systematically dismantled.
A Celebration of Obscurity: We revel in the esoteric and the arcane. Ever wondered about the practical applications of non-Euclidean geometry or the philosophical implications of Gödel's incompleteness theorems? Of course you haven't. But you will.
An Unflinching Gaze at Reality: We believe in the stark, unadorned beauty of numbers. There are no participation trophies in mathematics. There is only rigor, logic, and the cold, hard truth. It's character-building.
So, You've Decided to Expand Your Cognitive Horizons. How Brave.

We invite you to peruse our collection of articles, engage in spirited (and hopefully coherent) debate in our forums, and perhaps, just perhaps, emerge slightly less bewildered by the quantitative world you inhabit. We don't expect miracles. But we do expect you to try. After all, the universe is written in the language of mathematics, and it's about time you learned to read.
