Perhaps tangential, but as a non mathematician, I'm very impressed by the writing in Quanta Magazine. It's very understandable to me as a layperson without being too "dumbed down". There was an article in Quanta about the continuum hypothesis that hit the HN front page yesterday that I also thought was very well written and clear. So kudos to the authors, as explaining complicated topics in understandable language is a tough skill.


Quanta tends to be quite good. From the intro, I was wondering if they'd define zeta(3) or if they'd just leave it as some mysterious mathematical object. But they did define zeta(3) thankfully :)


If you’re a podcast person, I highly recommend Quantas podcasts “The Joy of x” and “The Joy of y”, they are both excellent.

If you like these, you may also like “Simplifying Complexity” (no relation to Quanta)
