Hi, I'm Barry! And I write about math on Medium.

Math Games is an entirely reader-supported publication dedicated to rekindling our love for simple math puzzles and illuminating the deeper ideas behind them. If you read it every day, or once in a while, and you value the effort and time that goes into it, consider buying me a cup of coffee or visiting our Official Math Games Merch Store today.

Each and every one of your contributions goes towards my life and other Math Games projects I am working on. At the moment, I am developing a web-based multiple choice Math Games Saga, as well as building up the Math Games YouTube Channel.

My goal is to democratize mathematics. I want to free it from the chains of credentialism and snobbish gatekeeping. I don’t believe you need a specific qualification, elite program, or institutional stamp of approval to explore, enjoy, or even teach mathematics.

Math belongs to anyone with a pen, a piece of paper, and genuine curiosity. You don’t need math camps, special tracks, or expensive programs to think deeply. You just need the willingness to play with ideas.

Through this blog, I endeavor to make mathematics feel accessible, human, and alive again, and in doing so, we can perhaps lead more meaningful and more intentional lives of joy and curiosity.

Woohoo, you found the hidden artefacts! How Amazing!
