Thu 2 Feb: TeX Hour: Integer Sequence and Digital Typography

[Jonathan Fine]

Hi

Scroll down for some important accessibility announcements.

The Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) is an amazing resource for professional, amateur and recreational mathematicians. If you haven't seen it before please take a look:

https://oeis.org/

It was started by Neil Sloane as a graduate student in 1965. It now has over 350,000 sequences. Around 1996 it became a website, hosted by his employer AT&T Research. In some sense this week's TeX Hour is a guide tour of OEIS and of Neil Sloane's file cabinet (digitised). And Digital Typography is defined to include Digital File Cabinets and other Research Archives.

The TeX Hour is Thursday 2 February 6:30 to 7:30pm GMT. For more information see https://texhour.github.io/2023/02/02/int-seq-and-digit-typo/.

ACCESSIBILITY NEWS

In January there was a special double length TeX Hour on STEM Access. It was so much fun that most of the 20 people there wanted to do it again. So there will be another double length meeting focussed on STEM Access, probably sometime in April. Watch this space!

And the videos from the January meeting are now available.

Hi

This TeX Hour is about improving both the accessibility and the typography of a Linux window manager, namely Sway. It is a personal project, to make my own workstation easier to use. I hope it will benefit others.

The TeX Hour is Thursday 23 February 6:30 to 7:30pm GMT. For more information (and afterwards the video recording) see
