Just a brief announcement that I have been working with #QuantaBooks to publish a short book in popular mathematics entitled #SixMathEssentials, which will cover six of the fundamental concepts in mathematics -- numbers, algebra, geometry, probability, analysis, and dynamics -- and how they connect with our real-world intuition, the history of math and science, and to modern practice of mathematics, both in theory and in applications.
