When I discovered that Google puts my tiny article at #3 for search of “Betti numbers”  (after Wikipedia and Wolfram MathWorld), I thought “OK, they don’t know anything, this is just an algorithm”. But now my own American Mathematical society links to that article! I must say I am so flattered… I also humbly promise to improve the article.

The page the AMS’s site is on Mathematics Events at the 2009 AAAS Meeting  which, incidentally, has some interesting discussion about applications of topology. That reminds me also that there will be a short course on Applied Algebraic Topology  at IMA in June that some readers of this blog might find interesting.

BTW there wes a huge spike of traffic to the site over the weekend. It was fueled by reddit, Delicious and StumleUpon. Nice too.
