Let S be a bounded, convex, compact, well-defined set, tightly compressed, seasoned, smoked, strictly marinated, and covered with a layer of Worcestershire sauce. Then S is homeomorphic to any well-made dish.

Instead of putting math departments in the buildings for natural sciences they should put them next to the philosophy department. And then any time a scientist needs some mathematics they have to make a pilgrimage to a different side of the campus.
#math#the applied mathematicians commute back and forth several times a day on some sort of monorail perhaps

This hits doubly hard in applied maths when you actually go to the effort of trying to explain the application so the work is "meaningful" to randoms and then they either don't care about the application at all or ask tons of followups that you know nothing about bc it's not related to your work. Like I just do the differential equations and they are cool and please appreciate my pretty plot 🥺
Explaining a beautiful mathematical concept and the person asks for the real world application like bitch first off the real world application is it makes me personally ecstatic and second it doesn't need one because it's my special little princess concept

what’s kinda crazy is that, had filbrick been a better father and raised them in a loving home, the twins probably could’ve actually made a lot of money for the family… stan was never accommodated for while growing up so he never got to demonstrate his smarts (and he is very smart, he taught himself advanced math and shit while building a long-lasting business from scratch, man), and instead he was made to feel more and more worthless, like he had nothing to contribute to the world—the only purpose he was able to find was to always be there for his brother. what was he if he didn’t have a brother to be there for anymore? of course he would eventually lash out over losing ford (and accidentally ruin ford’s project in the process). on the other hand, ford had so much pressure on him that he pushed himself too hard to prove just how smart he was. to prove that he was the best. he needed to hear how smart he was, because what was he if he wasn’t a genius? of course bill’s manipulation worked on him. of course he wanted to make something that could change the world despite the potentially dangerous nature of it, something that would put his name in the history books. his only value was to bring success to his family, and this was how he was going to do it. if stan had been encouraged and supported, he could have used his skills to find success. if ford hadn’t been put under so much pressure, he wouldn’t have needed to turn to a literal demon so he could prove himself. he could’ve focused on the other groundbreaking research he already had in gravity falls. stan probably never would have broken that project in the first place and ford would’ve made it to his dream school, just like filbrick wanted.
#filbrick pines when i fucking catch you#but like… right?????#hell maybe even shermie could’ve been more successful??? i doubt he got too much support at home either#anyway#both of the stans r kind of insanely smart#stan didn’t get the chance to demonstrate it bc he wasn’t as obviously booksmart as ford#but he TAUGHT HIMSELF the complicated math and science that was required to work on a fucking portal ????#he clearly has booksmarts when he applies himself#maybe he would’ve applied himself more if he was encouraged rather than degraded every time he struggled in school#yes? 😇😇😇#beats filbrick to death#gravity falls#stanley pines#stanford pines#ahem uhhh#hey

Consider now the Cainian functor C : Grp → Grp given by G ↦ [G, G], which annihilates all abelian groups,
#math#I did not actually check that this is a functor…but it feels like it should be#but also that it might not#EDIT: oh yeah obviously a functor! given N and N’ normal subgroups of G and G’ respectively#as long as ɸ : G -> G’ restricted to N lands in N’#then there’s an obvious and sensible way to construct ψ : G/N -> G’/N’ such that everything commutes#this is probably one of those real basic theorems but it’s been a while and I’ve just got to rederive everything…#EDIT 2: i initially had G ↦ G/Z(G)#but it was pointed out in the replies that the center doesn’t necessarily land in the center so the above doesn’t apply!#however this is obviously a functor.#i say having learned nothing about declaring things ‘obvious’.

No, pure math and applied math are not enemies, in fact they are kissing, sloppy style, squishing boobs together, etc.
#mathblr#math#pure math#applied math#mostly shitpost#but seriously applied math is closer to pure math than any other subject#stop trying to tear them apart.

Every time I feel like I hate my maths degree I just say to myself, “This is so Neil Josten core” and all the boredom evaporates from my body
#thank you mr josten#my patron saint of math#my guy was antagonising the mafia evading his serial killer dad navigating a romance with andrew minyard#training to win an exy championship AND passing uni level math#absolutely insane of him#I wonder what branch of math he likes more#like more applied stuff like calc or theoretical pure math stuff#neil josten#tfc#the foxhole court#aftg#all for the game#mathematics#neil#my posts

Hi i was wondering if youd be okay with people writing fanfiction about your spade pirates sabo au?

I’m perfectly fine with people writing fics for Spade Pirate Sabo AU as long as they credit and do so with the understanding that I already have broad strokes of the AU planned out and their fic might not be canon to whatever I have planned!
That said I love seeing people’s work based on the au so if anybody does write a fic I’d love if they could send it to me so I could read it 🥺
#im so sorry updates have been slow this term is so much busier than I thought it would be#my fault for loading up on the data analysis and math-heavy classes in the same term I’m supposed to be applying for grad school 😔

SNAP interview so scary but so fruitful. i said numbers to a nice lady on the phone for an hour and now the government gives me $300 a month to eat.
#FELLOW BROKE AMERICANS WHO R ELIGIBLE: U SHOULD APPLY#the math is easy. you either qualify or you don't#my case was even Complicated because of how illness has impacted my income#and it was fine.#shouldve done it forever ago but i was dealing with so much other shit....#Ya Girl Can Eat !!!!

Don’t get me wrong, I love a Steve Harrington that’s boss in a specific subject or something but man I love Genuinely Dumb as Rocks Steve Harrington.
Like, please, he is Dumbass Representation and I need him as such 🥲
#as someone who almost flunked out of highschool#and was rejected by all the colleges I applied to except one ☝️ that made me do a summer math class to qualify#AND genuinely cant drive#😭 I need to feel like it’s okay to be Stupid and loved dammit#steve harrington headcanon#himbo steve harrington#steve harrington#steddie#bee speaks

Cyberweek 2024 Day Five: Crossover
Pfft, I've been on an AvA kick recently, so I guess it's not too surprising that I chose this. On one hand, this crossover works well in theory. The stick figures are all fast, kinetic learners and really good at demonstrating their earned skills and knowledge.
On the other hand, the sheer tonal dissonance is hilarious.
#Cyberchase#Cyberweek2024#Animation vs Animator#AvA#Animation vs Math#Day Five: Crossover#Matt#Jackie#Inez#Digit#Hacker#Euler's Integer#The Second Coming#TSC#Orange AvA#One is a little kid's show about applying math and science practically and focuses on problem-solving#With very little action#The other is an online series focusing on high-octane fight scenes#Much hilarity would ensue if they were put in the blender together#Knightmare Art

If I had a nickel for every time a genuinely nice, positive, occasionally shy but clearly determined character with a hefty side of sass got misinterpreted in the fandom as a cinnamon roll or got infantilized, I would be a millionaire.

not smart as in intelligent but smart as in "people use my above average skills in math to deny me support in every other area of life"
#newsflash! most of life isn't like math#most of life isn't as logical and systematic as math#so no. just bc i know how to add numbers together#won't mean i'll know how to cook for example#or go shopping. or apply for a job#or anything really#neurodivergent#actually neurodivergent#autistic#autism#actually autistic#adhd#actually adhd#gifted kid problems#gifted kid burnout#gifted kid syndrome

Going to go on a little rant but my god I'm sick of how undervalued maths is. I hate that for the past 10 years, including primary school, whenever I tell people I like maths I get asked if I'm insane. I hate that in a country that has made major contributions to maths, there's barely any effort to keep up that history and support new mathematicians.
I hate that I can't criticise people who also do stem that go on and on about how everything relating to maths is stupid and useless because "that's just how they feel"...Even when they're doing computer science. And said computer scientists complain every. Single. Time. When a maths equation appears.
I hate that I can't point out how it's weird how people demonize mathematics itself instead of how it's taught, which is where the problem usually lies. I hate that I'm expected to drop mathematics entirely to go into a "proper" job like programming instead of research into population models and simulations. I hate how maths is being co-opted by people making points about "how simple the world is" when maths is nothing like they portray it to be. I hate that maths is seen as a field only of white, cishet men when there's been so many women, poc and queer people that have done groundbreaking work.
I hate that we're in a world where mathematics is so important to everyday life, and yet the idea of actually studying maths and continuing research into it is frowned upon.
#feeling things today don't mind me#I'm not saying people can't like maths#we're just no where near “done” with mathematics research and pretending we are and limiting people's access is going to bite us#stem#mathematics#maths#mathblr#half the arguments I see just come down to the way schools teach maths across the world which is fair except for the fact it goes with ever#subject and not just maths#anyway I wrote this instead of computing a FS lmao#also I'm a applied maths/cs major that's why i including the bit about cs students because oh my god they hate me for not hating maths#daimian.txt

This isn't an idea or realization I will ever be able to do anything with but it is a thought I had that I think is kinda cool so I'm throwing it out there into the void of Tumblr for fun. The Hearthians' number system is probably base 3 or 6. Base 10 is common in real life because that's how many fingers humans typically have and upon doing a google to double check, I've come to understand that most number systems seem to be based on fingers in some way (like 5, counting only on one hand, or 8, counting the gaps between fingers and so on). So because the Hearthians typically have three fingers on each hand their language and numbering system would probably reflect that.
Again, I can't really do anything with this thought but I've been reading a lot of hard science fiction lately which has got me thinking about science and math stuff more. Specifically it was a book called 'Saturn Run' (which other than the rocket science and alien stuff was pretty mid) that got me thinking about this in particular recently because there was an alien computer that revealed its makers worked in base 8. So it got me thinking about how the aliens I've been writing about lately would do math too.
#deck speaks#outer wilds#I've never really vibed with math much so my understanding of number base systems might be off#This would of course apply to more than just the Hearthians but they're the main aliens so they're the ones I thought about first/the most
