<p>&bull; <a href="http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/glacial/">Milankovitch Cycles and the Earth&#8217;s Climate</a>.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a gentle introduction to these ideas, and it presents a lot of what <a href="https://johncarlosbaez.wordpress.com/2013/01/30/milankovich-vs-the-ice-ages/">Blake Pollard</a> and I have said about Milankovitch cycles, in a condensed way.  Of course when I give the talk, I&#8217;ll add more words, especially about the different famous &#8216;puzzles&#8217;.  </p>
<p>If you have any corrections, please let me know!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m eager to visit Cal State Northridge and especially David Klein in their math department, since I&#8217;d like to incorporate some climate science in our math curriculum <a href="http://www.csun.edu/climate/Climate_Science_Courses.html">the way they&#8217;ve done there</a>.  </p>
