Recent activity in the mathematical community has highlighted the enduring fascination with mathematical constants and visual representations of mathematical concepts. A blog post on March 23, 2025, discussed a remarkably accurate approximation for pi, noting that π ≈ 3 log(640320) / √163 is exact within the limits of floating-point arithmetic, achieving accuracy to 15 decimal places. This discovery builds upon historical efforts to approximate pi, from ancient Babylonian and Egyptian calculations to Archimedes' method of exhaustion and the achievements of Chinese mathematicians like Liu Hui and Zu Chongzhi.

Visual insights in mathematics continue to be explored. A blog called Visual Insight shares striking images that help explain topics in mathematics. The creator gave a talk about it at the Illustrating Math Seminar. The blog features images created by people such as Refurio Anachro, Greg Egan, and Roice Nelson, and individual articles are available on the AMS website.
