every day the same again | imp kerr & associates, nyc | research department

every day the same again compiles ±500 quirky headlines collected over the last 4 years from institutional sources of information—such as reuters, the guardian, and the new york times—, chapterized and interlaced w/ quotes, vaguely or specifically related. in addition to its lack of purpose, this document casts a modest and diffracted look into the public’s strong curiosity [1] for odd facts and weird news, i.e. familiar topics, but at their margin: bizarre crimes, absurd fights, rare fetishes, extravagances, animal fun facts, curious scientific studies, juridical oddities, et cetera.

Mathematics in Movies

This is a collection of movie clips in which Mathematics appears. I'm collecting DVDs and VHS tapes of such movies. This is a working document to be extended over time. I started this page during spring break 2006. See also the page "Begin of lectures in college teaching" and "End of lectures in college teaching" and "Examples of good talks". To see the movies larger, to see it on the iphone or include it ina presentation, chose the quicktime ipod version, which are files with .m4v extension. (Media RSS link).

Galaxy Zoo: Exploring the Motivations of Citizen Science Volunteers

The Galaxy Zoo citizen science website invites anyone with an Internet connection to participate in research by classifying galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. As of April 2009, more than 200,000 volunteers had made more than 100 million galaxy classifications. In this paper, we present results of a pilot study into the motivations and demographics of Galaxy Zoo volunteers, and define a technique to determine motivations from free responses that can be used in larger multiple-choice surveys with similar populations. Our categories form the basis for a future survey, with the goal of determining the prevalence of each motivation
