My Grandfather’s Fate

Once an American friend of mine told me that it amuses him when he hears how Europeans argue with each other using sentences like: “Your grandfather did this and that to my grandfather!” This would only prove how long we Europeans already live in peace with each other. We need to go at least two […]

STEM Crisis: Teachers versus AI

Some people and really not few have troubles in understanding basic STEM facts. Even an educational system designed for outdoing other educational systems has proven to be unable to change this. More types of schools don’t guarantee better teachers. People at least blame their lack of skills and knowledge on their teachers. These are the […]

STEM Crisis: Germans’ Real Math Skills

Germany only weeks ago suffered its second PISA shock. But the PISA survey also revealed that Germans still are quite good in science. So it is even more astonishing that I only few days ago had to read that logarithm and exponential function would be the very same thing. That’s of course complete nonsense. Logarithm […]

On the Enmity between Human Mathematicians and AI

Some mathematicians founded the Association for Human Mathematics (AHM), which has the goal to “protects mathematics as a human endeavor against the threat of artificial intelligence”. So some mathematicians hate AI because they fear that AI threatens their profession and in particular their jobs. They even complain about OpenAI publishing “solved” mathematical problems in bundles […]

On the Tooth Brushing Standard

Because my dentist did pass away, so I had to find a new dentist. This new dentist has got an employee, who is a prophylaxis specialist. I recently had to see her, of course not covered by my mandatory health insurance, and she had to remove some dental calculus. She told me that adults should […]
