Sub-blogs and the math sub-blog
I notice that a number of people have my blog included in lists of
"math blogs", which is fine with me, but I got a bit worried when I
saw someone's web site that actually includes a lot of "math
blog" articles, including mine, which is only ever about one-fourth
math, the rest being given over to random other stuff. So the "math
blog" section of this guy's web site is carrying my ill-informed
articles about evolutionary biology and notes about the Frances the
Badger books.
If you really do want just the math articles for some reason, you can subscribe to the feeds at http://blog.plover.com/math/index.rss or http://blog.plover.com/math/index.atom. I've been generating these sub-feed files since the blog began, and I know nobody uses them. But perhaps someone would like to.
Similarly, there are sub-feeds for other subsections of the blog, for example "physics". Most of these topic areas receive many fewer updates than does the "math" section:
| 64 | math |
| 16 | lang |
| 14 | physics |
| 14 | oops |
| 14 | linogram |
| 14 | book |
| 14 | prog |
| 10 | bio |
| 7 | lang/etym |
| 6 | meta |
Personally I feel that the eclecticism of the blog is one of its attractions, and I gather that a lot of other people do too, but perhaps not everyone agrees.
