    Hello Tanya,

    I’m writing to see if you might have any suggestions for me. I’m almost 68, got a philosophy B.A. and almost finished a math B.A. However, I’d very much like to help people with fairly basic math (like high school algebra, some calculus, etc.); however, my finances do not permit me to pay for a website and then advertise it online.

    What I wish to do is to VOLUNTEER my time for some free tutoring of students who need help. Do you know if it’s possible to get a blog (maybe even free of charge) and set it up so that students can send in math questions? More importantly, would it be feasible to have the blog visible enough on the Web so as to have a decent chance of getting help requests?

    If a blog cannot be set up like that, could one possibly get a very low-cost website that would be substantially “visible” on the Web?

    I enjoy math, but have greater talent for philosophy and logic than for pure mathematics.

    Any suggestions you might offer would certainly be appreciated.

    Sincerely,
    Joseph

    Dear Tanya
    Hello number gossip✋. I just have to tell you I have never been good at math I don’t retain numbers very well but I’ve been so fascinated with math for a few years now and I came across your website number gossip and I think you’re so cool I never pry into people’s lives so I don’t go into their blogs or websites but I’m so glad I went into yours thank you so much for challenging my mind and opening up my heart to math. I can see the patterns in life kind of sort of oh by the way I really love sacred geometry!!!!!

    THANK YOU,

    Charlotte

    Dear Tanya,
    I hope you are well. My name is John and I am currently studying for my A-Levels at Queen Elizabeth Boys’. I also run a blogging platform (CoverShr https://www.covershr.com/) where students can blog about their subject interests and passions. I love the content on your site. They’re just great and well delivered!

    I was wishing if it would be possible to use some of your articles on CoverShr so that a greater number of students can have access to them. It would be a vital benefit for students, especially those who love math, studying math for GCSE and A-level or just have a general interest. It would be a pleasure to have your content on CoverShr and I believe, your works would be a great resource for many students.

    Feel free to email me back through this email. Have a spectacular rest of your day.

    Kind regards
    John Tan

    Hi Tanya.
    I was looking at OEIS sequence A131481 – numbers of treelike polyiamonds, aka numbers of polyiamonds that have maximal perimeter, which you posted in 2007.
    In my opinion, the data is correct but shifted by 1.
    Maybe the problem is due to the offset = 0, but in any case, to take as an example a(6), it should be 11, whereas you give a(5) = 11.
    Did you really want offset = 0?
    Or have I read everything completely wrong?

    Dear Tanya,

    Can you help me understand the explanation given here for a coffin problem. I am a bit skeptical of the answer.
    Here is the link.

    http://www.tanyakhovanova.com/Coffins/sol31alt.html

    Why would one expect the projections O’N’ and O’M’ are both perpendicular to C’D’ by the argument use for O’K’ and O’L’ being perpendicular to A’D’?
    O’K’ and O’L’ being perpendicular to A’D’ was set up from the start by the intersection that resulted in P.
    How does that argument help for O’N’ and O’M’ since it already sets up the projection of perpendiculars to be perpendicular? Maybe I just have misunderstood???

    Thanks.
