Sound the celebration klaxon! You may have thought that the American election was the biggest thing happening this November but instead here is a happy announcement. Issue 20 of Chalkdust will be released at 12:00 on Friday 8 November. Yes it is only nine and a half years since the first issue but that just means we get two special issues to celebrate. You can preorder printed copies now!

We’re really excited to share the latest issue with you. Among the many articles, we have an interview with the mathematician and author, Robin Wilson; we discover the mathematical prowess of ants; and we uncover the mathematics of spirographs. There will also be all the regular features you’ve come to know and love, including Dear Dirichlet (the fan favourite!), our crossnumber and more!

You can share your excitement about the upcoming issue with us on social media using the hashtag #chalkdust20.

You can still order physical copies of issues 15, 16, 17 and 19 (just), or view issues 1 to 19 as pdfs.
