Mathematics/Statistics
Here is a list of mathematics-related blogs by academics. Feel free to add new ones, while respecting the rules of the wiki. In particular, at least one of the authors of a blog should be affiliated with an academic institution.
Mathematics blogs (by subject)
This list of blogs is organized according to the closest arXiv tags that correspond to the posts therein. It may be that some blogs are not classified properly; please correct any misclassifications you encounter. For some blogs, the name and affiliation of the authors are missing; you are encouraged to fill these in if you are able (and if the information is publicly available).
For blogs which use category-specific tags (e.g. "algebraic geometry" or "math.AP"), a link is made directly to the relevant set of posts, and is indicated by "(subsection)". Authors are encouraged to use those tags explicitly to make linking easier.
Blogs in computer science are listed separately.
