The carnival is itinerant, traveling around the math blogsphere from host to host. I hosted <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.scientificamerican.com\/roots-of-unity\/carnival-of-mathematics-103\/\">carnival #103 at my Scientific American blog Roots of Unity<\/a>, and next month\u2019s carnival will be number 137.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I try to visit the Carnival of Mathematics every month to find gems I&#8217;ve missed and blogs I\u2019ve never read before. I\u2019ve lost count of how many cool math blogs I\u2019ve added to my feed from\u00a0past carnivals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The other math blog carnival I know about is <a href=\"https:\/\/denisegaskins.com\/mtap\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Math Teachers at Play<\/span><\/a>, coordinated by Denise Gaskins and hosted by math education bloggers from around the internet. As the name suggests, it focuses more on math education from preschool to high school, and it looks like a great resource for teachers and parents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Blog carnivals need two things: attentive hosts and enthusiastic submitters. That\u2019s where you come in. Please submit to the carnival! We are looking for posts from roughly the past month that have amused, challenged, or delighted you. Anything mathematical is fair game. Don\u2019t be shy\u2014self-promotion is encouraged!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Read the <a href=\"http:\/\/mathmisery.com\/wp\/2016\/07\/23\/carnival-of-mathematics-136-aperiodical\/\">most recent carnival at Math Misery<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/aperiodical.com\/carnival-of-mathematics\/\">check out past carnivals\u00a0at the Aperiodical<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSdqREu8KKHS_RfatqIzYRghsINprDxWxrY-xVzW4KP4WxRsvQ\/viewform?formkey=dC1IREpjV1lVRE1xcml2bXJDUzhqTXc6MQ&amp;pli=1#gid=0\"><span class=\"s2\">click here to submit a post to next month\u2019s Carnival of Mathematics!<\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blogging about math blogs is an inherently meta activity, and\u00a0today it\u2019s going to get even more meta because I\u2019m writing about the Carnival of Mathematics, which Anna and I will be hosting here on this very blog next month.
