Welcome to Pieces of Mathematics!

In this blog, you will find presentations of well-known mathematical concepts, often accompanied by historical notes and definitions, as well as other mathematical topics.

In the Conceptual Pieces series, you’ll find essential math concepts broken down into manageable parts, each paired with a touch of historical background.

In the Defined Piece by Piece series, essential math concepts are explained in very small bites. Each post focuses on a specific idea, presented in a (hopefully) straightforward style. As the name suggests, this series is intended to make math accessible and easy to follow, regardless of the readership’s background, and to help build a solid understanding of the definitions covered piece by piece.

The Axiomatic Pieces series introduces fundamental mathematical axioms and properties, such as the commutative, associative, and distributive laws. Each text highlights where these axioms apply across different areas.

Pieceful Ponderings of Intex & Certex features short dialogues between two recurring characters: Intex, who approaches problems with intuition and creative thinking, and Certex, who values precision and logical rigor. Their conversations provide engaging, conversational perspectives on mathematical ideas—one piece at a time.
