Hi

This TeXHour provides an overview of NumFOCUS, a well-supported public charity for open source scientific computing. Beside scientific computing, it also sponsors MathJax, which is a browser based math typesetting system.

NumFOCUS was founded in 2012. It has important symbiosis with the PyData conference series. MathJax is a JavaScript library for displaying and making accessible mathematics on web pages. Since 2019 MathJax has been a NumFOCUS Sponsored Project.

This TeX Hour will focus on the human side of NumFOCUS, and in particular the financial, organisation and social support it provides for the open source scientific computing.

TeX Hour: Thursday 8 June, 6:30 to 7:30pm BST

Hi

Last month I attended an excellent half-day workshop on Creating accessible online mathematics and statistics notes. The videos are now available. This TeX Hour will be a review of the workshop, based on the videos and other resources.

TALMO stands for Teaching And Learning Mathematics Online. It’s an organisation of teachers of maths and stats in UK universities. It was set up during the Covid-19 pandemic to share resources and avoid wasteful duplication. It continues to this day.

TeX Hour: Thursday 15 June, 6:30 to 7:30pm BST
