I feel like fandom culture needs to put more value on friendship than it does. I love shipping just as much as the next person, and there are plenty of pairings that I’m obsessed with—but way too many of us treat friendship like it’s a much less valuable connection than romance, and that is just not true at all. Friends can be your family. Family is significant and it will never not be. People always say „they’re just friends.“ and what do you mean JUST!!!!! THAT IS STILL AMAZING. IT IS STILL LOVE. PLEASE RECOGNIZE PLATONIC LOVE YOU GUYS

Genuinely spent like 15 minutes trying to think of a simple complexity class between O(log n) and O(n) and only coming up with O((log n)²) before remembering that exponents less than 1 exist :/

hi! how you doing! I'd like your help w a little something.

So I'm having real analysis in my coming sem and I'd approached my math prof about it. So I'd asked him like how do I prep myself to properly and fully understand real analysis that we'll see? like to understand it in the abstract sense and have a good intuition abt it. he suggested to try and understand the definition of real numbers and get back to him

soo uhh. I'm looking for resources to study field theory? lectures, textbooks. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Well tbh, fields on their own are pretty tame, and as far as algebraic field theory goes, R is one of the tamest. Which is to say, a "field" just implies that you have + - × ÷ 0 1, and as long as you understand these basic arithmetic properties (as well as basic functions like sqrt, exp, log) you should be golden. Finite fields and rationals have all these crazy complicated algebraic things like field extensions and Galois theory, but R is barely interesting in that aspect.

R really shines in topology, though. For a deep understanding of the definition of R, you might want to look at some introductory point-set topology books. Key words to look out for are metric space (including the notion of open and closed sets), norm (i.e. absolute value), Hausdorff space (sometimes called T2), cardinality (of the continuum specifically), completeness.

The sources I learned these from are in my own language, so I doubt they would be of much use to you. You could internet search any of these terms though, or search for introductory point set topology books. Good luck!

i need to go swimming 😭😭😭😭 swimming save me swimming

math and physics is making me so sick of the quadratic formula

[applescoven]

Mmmmm shaep

math people scare me. math people will be like "math works in mysterious ways TO YOU. i get it though." and they do and it's fucking terrifying.

Trying to do number theory homework and was told in class "don't try to do this by hand/use a calculator to factor/prime check (obscenely large number), use excel or something" so I, with no excel experience, attempt to look up how to do so (fail, nothing worked) and am thus forced to program my own very basic factor checker that doesn't even give a full list since I am not experienced in recursion enough to do something that would put out a full list😡

i dont typically have a lot of computer related feelings but the level of effort i need to put in to type 〉without having to copy/paste it from the internet is filling me with all consuming rage i fear.

Customize Your Power

Here’s where things get spicy. Since you don’t just play Survivor Challenge TD — you strategize.

Abilities Galore: Need more firepower? Maybe some AoE chaos? You’ve got abilities for that.

Elemental Combos: Think of it as the secret sauce. Combine elements to unlock extreme power-ups. Fire and ice? Sure. Lightning and earth? Why not!

Build Your Playstyle: Are you the slow but deadly type or an all-out DPS monster? Experiment with combos until you’ve got the ultimate Survivor Challenge TD setup.

Unlock and Dominate

Winning feels great, but unlocking new abilities and upgrades feels even better. Every level you complete isn’t just a victory—it’s also a step closer to a stronger tower and bolder combos. Plus, with elemental variants in play, the options for how you dominate are almost endless.

Why You’ll Like Survivor Challenge TD

If you’re into tower defense games but want something more hands-on and dynamic. Players already like the challenge of adapting strategies to different enemies and appreciate the variety of builds and abilities. The option to speed up gameplay is a welcome touch, though a higher speed would be great. With some tweaks — like more dynamic gameplay, better tutorials, and engaging progression — it could go from "spend an evening and forget" to a memorable hit. So, grab your gear, crank up those upgrades, and get ready to show the enemies who’s boss.
