Do send in more and once I have enough I'll film a new Q+A. If you want to suggest things I film while on my trip, I'm visiting: Burlington (Vermont), New York (New York) and Boston (Massachusetts).

Q+A Oct 10 2016

This is the first patreon-exclusive Q+A session. Available to all patreon supports from the "irrational support level" of $3.14 or more per month. Send in more questions! CORRECTIONS: Not a correction as such: but I seem to have left this camera focus-locked on the books behind me. Sorry about that.

Can you get your camera to focus on your face instead of the very interesting items on the book case behind you? :) Try using the Focus peaking feature if your camera has it and make sure your eyes are beautifully highlighted...

Vincent Zalzal

Thanks Matt (and thanks Joey), I was actually looking for that song for quite some time now :) Very nice!

Talya

Always great to see you Matt! Good luck with your new book!

martin shoosterman

Where can we find your patreon spisific email? I know you said it at the end of the video, but im not sure about the spelling.

Talya

Well, it is mentioned in the page you see right after you confirmed your supporting. Anyways, it is mattreon@standupmaths.com

Timur Sultanov

Just beware of fake pledges... Some people pledge but then end up not paying... usually it is a very small percentage, but such people still exist...

Timur Sultanov

Too bad... I moving to New York only in mid-November... and probably won't have time to move there for leisure...

Timur Sultanov

$3.14 pledge was totally worth it... It was much more than what I hoped for... Hope you'll keep up doing this additional content fairly regularly...

Kyle

When are you going to be in Boston? I'd love to say hi, I only live a hop and skip away

Thomas Robert Wade

Great Q&A video. I am now looking forward to the new book. Also, thanks for the mention. in the video. Seeing as how the cubing championship is in Bristol, and I live in Wales, I might actually go. I just need to see if I can find an affordable hotel.

curiousfox

Can't decide if I'm more impressed by the fancy Lord of the Rings books, or the Origami one... I've always wondered what non-math books mathematicians have on their shelves.

Matt Parker

I have a very odd (eclectic?) range of books. The origami one is practically maths though!

Matt Parker

No problem. Maybe see you in Bristol! You can always come for a day visit. Most of the finals are on Sunday.

Matt Parker

For a few days at the end of the month. No public gathering planned as of yet. I'm only around for a few days.

Matt Parker

Glad you're getting your money worth! Thanks for the fake pledge warning. I hope I don't get many.

Timur Sultanov

Don't worry too much... On pages like yours number of such pledges is usually low. And you will be notified who has not paid. And they might be even honest pledges, but having problems with their credit card for example, so you might just ask them to check. You might even do them a favor for all you know...

Matt Parker

Yes, Yuval is correct. It should be on the page after you sign up.

Matt Parker

If I'm being honest: I'd accidentally left it on manual focus and it was too close to be focused correctly for me to spot the difference on my viewfinder.

Thomas Robert Wade

I've just got confirmation for registration. Now I'm going to see if I can grab a lift from someone. I see that you're registered for 2x2 and 3x3. Even though you are now the Gary Oak to my Ash Ketchum, I wish you luck with the tournament. :)

Rémy GRANDIN

Don't sweat it Matt, the "r" in french words is as hard for the english speakers as it's for us frenchies the "th" sound as in "the" ^^. Good luck on those "Cube de Rubik" competitions !

Matt Parker

I apologise again! And don't worry: I'm practising my cube skills.

Matt Parker

Thanks! I thought the 2×2 on Sat would be a good test-run before the 3×3 on Sun. Make sure you come up and say hello!

Thomas Robert Wade

I'll look out for you on the Sunday whilst I'm there. I'll probably have my copy of Things To Make And Do In The Fourth Dimension on me too.

Doug Jones

Thanks for this, Matt! The Museum of Science in Boston has a maths area, if you haven't been there before. I remember the one highlight is a giant display on the normal distribution (using balls and pins, of course). The MoS is on the Green Line of the T, which means it's fairly easy to get to.

Matt Parker

Good idea! I do like a normal distribution.
