I wonder if this is how my advisors and supervisors see me

My two yr old is looking through a book about prehistoric art and she saw a picture of those cave painting of hands and she held up her own and said "hand!" And I gotta be honest. That hit

If I had a nickel for each time I had a nosebleed during a research meeting, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.

what's with math and chalkboards? i used to like whiteboards and now i not only don't like them but seemingly no longer remember how to use them. i drank too greedily of the chalk, became addicted, and now resent its absence

Why are mathematicians* so USELESS at simple arithmetic? You're telling me I possess knowledge that would get me hailed as a lord 2000 years ago, but if I had two bags of wheat in one hand and three in the other, I would say there's six bags? What the fuck

*it's me, I'm mathematicians

y'know, one of the goofiest things I've learnt from the desmos community is that { } with nothing inside equals 1

but that's not just it, you can also add { }s

and it functions just the same as adding 2 1s

but therein lies the funniest part, that you can perform almost any function on it, from minus

to exponents

to even factorials!

and lists too!!!

you can even compare solutions of { }s in { }s

there's almost no restrictions, if you can do it with numbers, you can do it with { }

and this leads me to what I've seen a lot of people calling "desmosfuck" after the infamous programming language brainfuck, and it restricts you by not allowing any letters and no numbers, that includes sin, log, x, y and all the others. The only thing you can make out of { }s are points and numbers though, but thankfully that's usually enough to make a bunch of stuff.

like, if you need π, just use (-0.5)!^2

you need e? you already have π and i, just use e^(iπ)=-1 and rearrange it to e=-1^(1/(iπ)) and get -1^((π^-1)(i^-1))

want phi? sure, just use it's surd representation of (1+sqrt(5))/2

okay, but what if you really wanna do functions? well, if you're desperate, you can sorta do that, you just gotta use a concentration of points.

cos(x) and sin(x)? use the identities

cos seems easier

and x just has to be a dense list of numbers

now that we have x, let us... REWRITE!

that's dense... buuuut, it does the job as soon as we add the x part to the x coordinate!

absolute insanity

you can also get sin by subtracting x by half of pi

awesome

here's tan, btw

go play around with it yourself! it's very silly

That’s exactly how I would react too

That picture of Biden looking at a quantum computer and being unable to grasp the true form of what he's seeing

To be fair that's how I would I react too
