Mathematics: Books, Knives and Cosmic Distance Ladder

The London Mathematical Society has awarded Polina Vytnova a Research in Pairs grant, dated February 14th. The grant will enable Vytnova to host Victor Kleptsyn, a CNRS Researcher from the University of Rennes, at the University of Surrey. Together, they will collaborate on a joint research project focusing on the "Arithmetic of Cantor sets."

Also, Terry Tao has announced a collaboration with Grant Sanderson of 3blue1brown, along with Tanya Klowden, to produce a two-part video about the history of the cosmic distance ladder. This project builds upon a previous public lecture by Tao and is related to their forthcoming book. The first part of the video is already available, with Sanderson currently editing the second part.
