Anna asked whether a diesel agreement between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin could have been made before its announcement. She wrote that the tanker Minerva Zen left Saint Petersburg on September 22 – 17 days before Trump's announcement. The ship, sailing under the Greek flag, had an undisclosed destination since its departure and was supposed to reach the US East Coast on October 11 or 12, according to data from Windward and Vortexa, a week after the House of Representatives voted for the Graham sanctions law. The route is documented, but the cargo is not, Anna wrote. Shipping papers are not available; estimates range from 230,000 to 300,000 barrels of diesel. Shipping analyst Michelle Wiese Bockmann could not say whether the ship had been redirected after Trump's announcement or whether an agreement had already existed before. Anna also pointed out that the US Treasury Department had issued General License No. 135 less than 24 hours before the report, allowing the import of Russian diesel until April 2027. She related the issuance on Thursday, a phone call on Friday, and the departure of the tanker on September 22, stating that the timing seemed unusual. While Kyiv had urged Congress to implement the Graham law, Washington could have already planned differently, according to her account. She cited Windward and Vortexa, quoted by Nasha Niva, as well as UkrMedia and NPR. #DieselDeal #Trump #Putin (translated)

Whether one is excited, depressed, angry, or otherwise about it, "The Mathocalypse" was the title of a blog post by Scott Aaronson, a prominent computer scientist and husband of Dana Moshkovitz, in which he also recounts the insensitive remark of his little son. #Mathematik #KünstlicheIntelligenz #MillenniumProbleme (translated)

The past six months have been the most dramatic in the entire history of mathematics since the time of Euclid," said Yang-Hui He from the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the Royal Institution shortly after the proof of Navier-Stokes was published. #Mathematik #KünstlicheIntelligenz #MillenniumProbleme (translated)

OpenAI has shocked the mathematical community by publishing AI-generated proofs for 377 mathematical theorems within just four weeks after solving a "Millennium Problem," while also raising concerns about the impact of artificial intelligence on mathematical work. #Mathematik #KünstlicheIntelligenz #MillenniumProbleme (translated)

The author described the situation of mathematicians as a disaster. He wrote that their intellectual work is devalued by AI, and they are becoming its assistants. This could also happen to many other academics in the future. At the same time, in his assessment, respect for human intellectual achievement as well as their income is declining. #Mathematik #Akademiker #KünstlicheIntelligenz #None (translated)

Christian Miele listed twelve challenges that Germany must overcome, in his opinion. Electricity and labor are expensive for companies: employers pay an average of around 45 euros per work hour, about 29 percent more than in the EU. In addition, high network fees and levies have increased energy costs; Germany exited nuclear power before sufficiently cheap and reliable alternatives were available. Long approval processes, according to Miele, also deter companies from investing. He named demographic change, rising contributions, and immigration that often does not lead to employment quickly enough as further problems. The shortage of skilled workers is real, he wrote, but uncontrolled immigration burdens households and municipalities. The Bundeswehr is also still inadequately equipped after decades of underfunding: the NATO target of 2 percent has long been missed, and there is still a lack of personnel, ammunition, and operational equipment. Miele wrote that Germany’s economy is hardly growing on its own: it shrank in 2023 and 2024 and only grew by 0.2 percent in 2025. Industry is producing less than it did a few years ago. In addition to taxes, levies, and energy costs, he pointed to weak demand, competition from China, and a lack of new products. In education, about one in three 15-year-olds does not reach the basic level in mathematics and reading; the gap between children from poor and rich families is as large as it has been since the beginning of the PISA tests. At the same time, there is a shortage of teachers and many school buildings are dilapidated. Among the further challenges, Miele listed the need for renovation of roads, bridges, railways, and schools. The municipal investment backlog is over 200 billion euros, about 55 billion of which is for schools alone. In his view, excessively high rents, low construction activity, and long approval processes also make it difficult to move to cities with open positions. The state is slow in digitization; many applications are still on paper, and internet coverage in rural areas is patchy. Finally, Miele warned that government spending is increasing without the economy growing correspondingly. Pensions, social services, and interest compete with defense and infrastructure for the same funds. If debt grows faster than economic output, there will be less room for investment later on, he wrote. Ultimately, the working people would bear the consequences, Miele explained, and he asked for his readers' assessments. #Herausforderungen #Wirtschaft #Deutschland (translated)

OECD Education Director Andreas Schleicher criticizes the Austrian education system as backward in ZiB 2 and advocates for earlier support and a longer primary school education, as performance in mathematics and reading skills continues to decline according to the Pisa study. #Bildung #OECD #Schulsystem (translated)

„Die Leistungen der 15-Jährigen in den Bereichen Lesen, Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften sind so schwach wie noch nie seit Beginn der Erhebung im Jahr 2000; sie liegen übrigens sogar noch unter den Werten des ursprünglichen PISA-Schocks.“ https://t.co/WQ1zshoasW #PISA #Bildung #Schulreform #DE

Als Mia und Alex zwei geheimnisvolle Ameisenwege entdecken, die sich am Strand kreuzen, begegnen sie Mr. Numberwise — einem ruhigen Begleiter, der ihnen zeigt, dass Mathematik nicht nur aus Zahlen auf einer Seite besteht, sondern aus Geschichten, Wegen, Mustern und Entdeckungen. Durch Ameisen, Schatzkarten, Treppen, bunte Wege und spannende „Aha!“-Momente lernen Kinder wichtige mathematische Ideen kennen: • lineare Gleichungen • Steigung • Koordinaten • Graphen • Schnittpunkte und Treffpunkte Dieses Buch verwendet originelle visuelle Modelle, um Algebra leichter verständlich zu machen: • die Steigung wird zu einer Treppe • eine Gleichung wird zum Rezept eines Weges • +b wird zum Startstockwerk • Koordinaten werden zur Adresse eines Punktes • ein Schnittpunkt wird zu dem Ort, an dem sich zwei verschiedene Weg-Geschichten treffen Dieses Buch verbindet: ✔ Geschichte ✔ visuelle Erklärungen ✔ gelöste Übungen ✔ Schritt-für-Schritt-Lernen ✔ Zeichnungen und Graphen ✔ Übungsblätter ✔ Erklärungen im Stil von „Math Made Clear“ ✔ unvergessliche „Aha!“-Momente Statt Formeln nur auswendig zu lernen, beginnen Kinder zu sehen, wie Mathematik sich bewegt. Ideal für neugierige Kinder, visuelle Lerntypen, Familien, die zu Hause lernen, Klassenzimmer und Kinder, die Algebra zum ersten Mal entdecken. Hauptsächlich für Kinder von 10 bis 14 Jahren entwickelt, kann dieses Buch auch älteren Schülern helfen, die Algebra schwierig finden und eine klarere, visuellere Erklärung brauchen. Und ganz ehrlich … vielleicht verstehen auch viele Erwachsene mit diesem Buch endlich die Steigung besser. Eine visuelle Mathegeschichte mit gelösten Übungen — entwickelt, damit Algebra endlich klar wird.
