The Kepler Conjecture draft of article Published in the MAA magazine Math Horizons in April 2001. [zipped postscript file, 350K]
Science, or rather Math, writing is something I really enjoyed as an undergraduate. Here's some of what I wrote for Zimaths, which is a magazine aimed at Zimbabwean High School students and teachers. Tawanda Gwena and myself founded it in August 1996 and the editor is Dr Gavin Hitchcock of the U of Zimbabwe Math Department.
In retrospect I should have spent less time on this stuff and more time on my academic work, but I was younger and naiver then. My perception of mathematics has also changed since I wrote some of these articles but... anyway, live and learn.
Don't expect to find high powered mathematics here!
Another article, regarding certain graph theory conjectures, was published in the February 1999 issue of the Indian magazine Resonance.
I've just discovered that the Newton article has been linked to by Anthroposophie and The History of Computing Project.
Anuzzer link to me. je suis un egomaniack. Frank Morgan responded to a suggestion on Benford's Law.
Well I had to put this stuff somewhere (yeah, I wrote it.)
