I love when a textbook has a theorem that is just the most obviously true shit, like girl I sure hope so, if that weren't true I think math would fall apart!

There is no way that the 4th,5th, and 6th derivatives to position are "Snap", "Crackle", and "Pop". Absolutely no way. I cannot believe I have gone my entire life without this knowledge.

proof by ehh why not

Conclude that a hanging chain follows a parabolic curve, cause it kinda looks like it does.

TIL that when designing vehicles, engineers need to take into account the maximum jerk transferred onto a passenger, not just the maximum acceleration. This is due to the stress produced on antagonistic muscles in the human body when acceleration changes.

Just learnt about this dude Galois, absolutely crazy. so basically, he:

- tries to get into "Ecole Polytechnique", the French school for science at the time, and fails

-publishes several papers on polynomials

-his father dies

-tries again (and fails) to get into the Ecole

-publishes several papers basically founding group theory

-attends a lesser school, gets kicked out and eventually arrested for political beliefs

-died in a duel shortly after he got out of prison

AT THE AGE OF 20

Hello everyone!

he/him, figuring tumblr out currently

on this blog I will try to post mainly math, and what I'm reading. I don't expect anyone to actually see the blog, so it will just be whatever I'm thinking about.

I hate Historical IQ estimation :(

Mild rant incoming to whoever might read this:

A while back when I was searching up lists of the smartest people, I came across the worst thing ever:

Historical IQ Estimations.

Basically what people do is they look at a figure who lived well before the advent of IQ testing, and just assign them a value based on their accomplishments in life. Like, since Issac Newton was a real smart fella, some dude gave him an estimated IQ of 195. The problem is, the point of IQ tests is that they are meant to be absolute ratings of intelligence, that theoretically wouldn't change. So to estimate someone's natural aptitude based off of the choices they made during their adulthood is just plain stupid. Idk for some reason it irrationally pisses me off. I understand that people want a measurable metric to judge intelligence, but IQ at its best cannot accurately assess much beyond simple pattern recognition. With that in mind, historical estimation is about as valid a metric as saying "just trust me bro"

6 has got to be my favorite number.

combination of 3 and 2, fun little union

the smallest perfect number (when you add all of its factors excluding itself together, you get 6)

hexagon has 6 sides, and can perfectly tile a plane

So what’s everyone’s favorite number? Mine’s 7

"Medically significant"

personally, I love the phrasing people use when talking about dangerous spiders, particularly in terms of their venom. Whenever a spider has venom that can kill a human, they are considered "medically significant" and for some reason I just love that.

this, this is talent.

if house md were running in 2024 there would be an episode with a patient who identifies as an ‘online content creator’ (cagily) where house agrees to take the case primarily because when he offhandedly refers to her as an onlyfans model both cameron and cuddy get really offended and say it’s a sexist assumption so he doubles down and becomes committed to finding the patient’s onlyfans and proving it. at some point it would be revealed that chase actually is an onlyfans model and started doing it as a stopgap after his dad died and he suddenly got disinherited but he makes so much money off it that now medicine is basically just a hobby. cameron and foreman both disagree with the concept online sex work but it turns out they disagree for different reasons (cameron thinks it’s exploitative and not-feminist, foreman finds it distasteful and thinks people should get ‘real jobs’) and spend most of their scenes together arguing about this while chase gets continually more shifty. they break into the patient’s house and there’s a full ringlight and camera setup which seems to confirm house’s suspicions. while trying to find the patient’s onlyfans house accidentally finds chase’s onlyfans instead and considers publicly embarrassing him about it like he did with wilson’s sex tape but soon realises that most of the staff at the hospital are already subscribed to chase’s onlyfans so makes fun of him for that instead. it then transpires that the reason why the patient is so cagey about being a content creator is that she’s an ASMR artist and all the soap she’s been shaving on camera has irritated her lungs. cuddy is about to make house give her 20 extra hours of clinic duty as recompense but at last minute it’s revealed that the website the patient uses for some of her bonus commissions is, drumroll…onlyfans, because she’s been banned from patreon. how does house know this? wilson is subscribed to her because the soap videos sometimes soothe him to sleep. something by cigarettes after sex plays. roll end credits.

Crazy how we know that the square root of 2 to the power of itself is rational. Just learned that today, blew my mind.

Today I learned that Vatican City has a post office

I’m surprised. I mean, 400 people, and they still have a post office?
