Test functions and [tempered] distributions require the notion of topological vector space … distributions can be traced back to Green's functions in the 1830’s to solve ordinary differential equations … the 1936 work of Sergei Sobolev on hyperbolic PDE’s.

Laurent Schwartz introduced the term "distribution" by analogy with a distribution of electrical charge, possibly including not only point charges but also dipoles and so on.

tempered distribution

topological vector space

(^ if there is a dipole, there must be a notion of subtraction, hence the need for a vector, and to speak of this very conceptually, use a TVS)

Multi variable calculus??? More like a train traveling north, south, east, west, up and down in completely independent yet related ways so that it's path looks like a sheet

i don’t believe in spectral possession but i do feel the pure spirit of confused math lady enter my body whenever i encounter a new ship portmanteau. it’s good for me i think. keeping my gray matter alive over here on tumblr dot edu, solving for x like i’m taking the math SAT as i try to figure out which characters are about to get their backs blown out below the readmore

Azula in Fandom

I really did love Azula. She's one of the most fascinating characters in ATLA: brilliant, terrifying, powerful, tragic, and deeply flawed. I loved that the show let her be complicated without ever pretending she wasn’t dangerous.

And I still love her, but honestly, some parts of the fandom have made it harder. Watching people erase her harm, excuse everything she did, or attack others for acknowledging her complexity doesn’t make her look better, it just makes real conversations about her impossible. Azula was compelling because she was broken, cruel, vulnerable, and human all at once.

Flattening her into a untouchable girlboss or a misunderstood victim that just wanted the best doesn't honor that story, it kinda cheapens it.

I’m still rooting for her character, and I always will be. But if I'm honest, it feels like my love for her has faded a little, not because of who she is, but because of how some of her fans behave (NOT ALL FANS, by no means all fans, but a loud enough *few* who excuse abuse, downplay harm, and treat disagreements about her online like I just killed their puppy in front of their eyes).

It's just kinda sad seeing something I cared about get twisted into something uglier  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hi

[camelliasinensis81]

ok so who looked at integrals and went "these are fun let's make double ones", I need names

[papasbaseball]

Trust me. I'm a math scientist.

A mathocist.

Does anyone else automatically size themselves up with people their age and look for ways that you’re inferior to them? Just me? Ok….

having really niche overlapping subject knowledge is a curse because you want to make memes but no one is going to think you’re funny bc it takes too specific of a person to get what you mean when you say “if the doors were a statistical test they would be single-factor confirmatory factor analysis”

leading myself to the altar as the sacrificial lamb (person that dies during finals so all exams are cancelled)

I'm in a 400-level Artificial Intelligence course and we spent half of the class struggling with basic addition. And I mean humans looking over graphs and such and struggling with addition. No AI needed for bad math. I had to pull out a calculator for 9+3.

teaching multivariable calculus this summer :3

[boycritter]

been talking to a bunch of people from areas w really good public education and it is. a bit of a culture shock.

i was excited for this new semester at uni but never mind i hate maths again

my toxic relationship with sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1 ... my wife who i lovehate who has ruined and saved my life
