After all, I thought, surely there are not very many blogs all about maths (yes I know that THIS blog has been more about computers than maths so far &#8211; but there will be a lot of maths&#8230;eventually).  I was wrong! Very wrong!<\/p>\n<p>There are LOTS of blogs all about Mathematics and associated subjects and a wonderful tradition has emerged from them all &#8211; The Carnivals of Mathematics.  The idea is quite simple &#8211; a blogger is chosen to be the host of a carnival and then he\/she accepts submissions from other bloggers.   The host then writes up a blog post which includes a summary of the accepted submissions.   The carnivals are a great way of discovering new mathematics and mathematics based blogs and on 21st September the 17th carnival was published over on <a href=\"http:\/\/mathnotations.blogspot.com\/search\/label\/carnival%20of%20mathematics\">MathNotations<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If the 17 links on this month&#8217;s carnival are not enough for you then you can find the locations of all previous carnivals over at <a href=\"http:\/\/carnivalofmathematics.wordpress.com\/\">carnivalofmathematics.wordpress.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While sat in the pub on a damp and grey Friday evening enjoying a few drinks with my friendly neighborhood web-guru, I had the idea of starting a blog with some maths in it.
