In this article, Mr. Dilip D, a mathematical article writer for the reputed Indian magazine, the Mint, explains the Collatz Conjecture and paints its picture as a very challenging to prove yet easy to understand problem. The author uses as evidence quotes and experiences of renowned mathematicians like Terence Tao and Richard Lipton in order to create credibility in the article. The main audience includes people who are interested in mathematics and want to know more about new concepts. In short, the article introduces a non-academic audience to the Collatz Conjecture and its history.
This article could be useful for me because it is from a credible website and it lists mathematicians whose papers I could read and use for my book. It also is very useful because it has a similar audience as my book and I can position myself as the author of this article did – a writer with an interest in mathematics.
