Maths is front page news!
Indeed a maths-orientated article has made it to the front page of the much-used Wikipedia as the article of the day!
Have a gander at the main page, or the article itself if you're not reading this today (if that last bit makes any real sense...).

Re: Maths is front page news!
Hmm...I wonder if they saw it on MathsIsFun and decided to put it up?
We should be honoured.

Re: Maths is front page news!
My favorite is the Nested intervals and least upper bounds. I knew about all the things the article mentioned, but the way in which it is applied is so clever.
"In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..."
