Pi day surprise: i to the i with e and pi by Pinkie Pie · 1:08pm Mar 14th, 2016

Hello dear readers. Me again! I’m here because today is pi day (π=3.14) (or tau/2 day if you define your circles that way). So it’s time for another totally irrational Pinkie Pie special mathematical blog post.

100,000,000 Followers and Counting · 12:09am Feb 14th, 2015

Today Horse Voice became my 100,000,000th follower. Thank you and welcome. And I was able to (almost) reciprocate the gesture and became his/her follower number 1,000,000,001.

Counting, of course, in binary (256 and 513 in decimal notation).

The Principal Dimensions of English · 2:10am Sep 16th, 2015

I want to talk about the principal dimensions of theories of art, but to do that, I must explain what I mean by "principal dimensions". Besides, you should learn this stuff anyway.

Bucking, Balling, and Mathematics · 3:28pm May 12th, 2019

Good to see in Common Ground that the analysis of Buckball statistics I imagined in Buckball Abstract is now canon.

I think it must be time to investigate this branch of applied mathematics further.

A Math Question: · 6:37am Jan 27th, 2020

How many words of dialogue do you think are in all of the episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic? How does the answer change if you include the movie, the holiday special, the various shorts, and the Rainbow Roadtrip special? How does the answer change if you include all canon Equestria Girls material? Bonus Round: How does the answer change if you include all lines of dialogue in the official comics and official books?

Have fun! I don't know the answer!

Equality, Fairness and the Abuse of Mathematical Notation · 1:39pm Nov 29th, 2015

That was a suitably awesome finale to the season. Great to revisit the sonic rainboom and Starswirl’s time travel spell (this time with multiple epic pony wars), and learn something about Starlight Glimmer’s history.

Altogether it has been a busy season, both on the show, and in the real world.

The Tao of 2 Pi(e) · 10:51pm Jun 28th, 2014

A few weeks ago Walabio suggested I write a blog post for Tau Day. Tau Day, for those to whom this is all Greek, is an obvious extension of pi day: pi=π=3.14=March 14; tau=τ=2π=6.28=June 28. The benefits of using tau (defined as the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its radius), in place of the considerably more widely used pi (ratio of the circumference to the diameter), are partly that it is more natural, and

Cutie Blossom Science Fair · 11:34am Oct 1st, 2023

The Mare Stream shook as it zipped through a patch of turbulent air. Sunny smiled reassuringly as Misty fought to keep her balance. “The Mare Stream can take some getting used to. At least we're taking you on a secret surprise adventure! Are you excited?”

“Oh, yeah! Definitely!” Misty replied while getting to her hooves. “Uh, so, um... what is it?”

“We're going... to Zephyr Heights for the annual Equestria Cutie Blossom Science Fair!”

Message in a Bottle Planetary Calculations · 10:34am Jul 8th, 2017

So, for those of you who haven't read the July 8th chapter of Message in a Bottle (G5.05: Satelite), probably go and read that before going on. Either these things aren't going to make sense to you, or they're going to be a major spoiler for that story. So seriously, go read that, then come back here. We good? Good.

I've got a surprise for you guys. · 8:24pm Oct 31st, 2015

I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year! :twilightsmile:

Why is that a surprise? Because the story I'll be working on is Memoirs of a Magic Earth Pony! I'll effectively be doubling the word count in a month if I can do it. That means Memoirs may have a new update schedule come December.

Pinkie Pie guide to Irrational and Transcendental Numbers · 9:25pm Jun 2nd, 2015

Hi there! Pinkie Pie :pinkiehappy: here. I’m writing this blog post as it’s all about math and Pineta thought that maybe I could explain it in a way that you would find easier to understand. I'm not sure that makes sense—everyone seems to have trouble understanding me. I mean even my friends don’t always understand me. Even I don’t understand me sometimes. Anyway hopefully I can make you smile and maybe teach you something

Overanalysis is Magic: Just how large are the Canterlot Archives in the Your Human And You-verse? · 4:19pm Apr 21st, 2016

“Over two million books,” Twilight spoke up from beside me. I glanced over at her and saw her staring out upon the sea of bookshelves in front, above, and below us with a dreamy expression on her face. Sighing happily, she turned to look at me, giving me a large smile, “Welcome to the Archives.”

Decision by the Numbers · 4:37pm Sep 8th, 2015

My recent Flashlight dating horror fic is not popular. :twilightblush:

This is not a surprise, given both the Flashlight hate on Fimfiction and the portrayal of Twilight as a naive, lovesick puppy. But does that really account for the lion's share of its criticism?


No, wait: I actually did edit.

Simon Singh and his Comedy Writing Secrets · 6:19pm Oct 18th, 2014

The Great and Polymathic Simon Singh is currently on something of a publicity drive to promote his book 'The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets' (just published in paperback). He was lecturing in my city a week or so ago, which being such a math-science-and-animation addict, I would have gone to, except I was out of town that day. But the details are on countless YouTube videos and blogs.
