Catherine both writes, and also teaches math. She&#8217;s running a GoFundMe for her students, who participate in extracurricular math activities &#8211; clubs, classes and competitions.<\/p>\n<p> They need money to cover travel expenses for going to math league competitions.<\/p>\n<p> These kids are us: they&#8217;re the math geeks of the future. They need help from the math geeks of today. So go, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/ae79ep58\">give them a couple of bucks<\/a>, help them out! <\/p>\n<p> An extra little bit of incentive: the first five people who donate more than $25 can pick a topic, from either math or computer science, and I&#8217;ll write a blog post about it. Send me a copy of the thank-you letter you get from GoFundMe to show that you contributed, along with the topic you&#8217;d like me to write about.<\/p>\n<p> These thank-you posts for contributing will skip to the top of my priority queue, so you&#8217;ll see them soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been terrible about updating the blog lately.
