How we designed xkcd's massive rube goldberg machine game in 3 weeks.

A new Gallup survey of Trump’s first six months in office finds Trump with a 37% approval rating among adults
-- a new low across all pollsters
-- and losing ground on all issues.
Strikingly, Gallup finds that just 38% of Americans approve of how Trump is handling immigration,
and 37% approve of his job on the economy
— the two issues that probably won him the 2024 election.
Trump has lost double digits on handling the federal budget and 6 points on trade…

Implementation and Basis Construction for Smooth Finite Element Spaces
The construction of $C^m$ conforming finite elements on simplicial meshes has recently advanced through the groundbreaking work of Hu, Lin, and Wu (Found. Comput. Math. 24, 2024). Their framework characterizes smoothness via moments of normal derivatives over subsimplices, leading to explicit degrees of freedom and unisolvence, unifying earlier constructions. However, the absence of explicit basis functions has left these spaces largely inaccessible for practical computation. In parallel, multi…

On recurrence coefficients of classical orthogonal polynomials
In Lett. Math. Phys. 114, 54 (2024) and 115, 70 (2025), the author introduces what is presented as a novel method for determining whether a sequence of orthogonal polynomials is "classical", based solely on its initial recurrence coefficients. This note demonstrates that all the results contained in those works are already encompassed by two general theorems previously established in J. Math. Anal. Appl. 515 (2022), Article 126390. A symbolic algorithm, implemented in Mathematica, is also provi…

Specifically, FEVD breaks down the VAR's forecast error variance to quantify how much each stock's shock…
