[opal lichen]

I never seem to do anything useful with my free time

I'm so frustrated with this

I just want to finally start doing something useful and live a good life

what can I do in my free time that would lead to a good end goal?

[glacial lake]

wsp

[opal lichen]

wsp?

[glacial lake]

lol i just came cuz im bored

anyways what yal talking about?

[opal lichen]

I try finding useful things to do with my free time

but it's hard

[glacial lake]

maybe try to reaad some books

read*

[opal lichen]

what books specifically?

[glacial lake]

if you really want to be educated, try shakespeare

[opal lichen]

Shakespeare isn't useful for any of my end goals

[glacial lake]

oh, what r ur end goals?

[opal lichen]

learn a skill that I can apply to make money

[glacial lake]

ECONOMICS!!!!!

THEY R RLLY USEFUL!!!

you can learn about stocks anywhere

and invest in them too

[opal lichen]

ok, but what books specifically

I won't trust any "get rich quick" book

[glacial lake]

yea lol

this book called freakconomics, it doesn't exactly tell you about money, but it can tell you lots of tricks in life

which could be helpful in terms of making money

i actually own the book too

it helps

[sharp mulch]

Freakonomics is quite objectively not a book about economics

[glacial lake]

i mean i only read like half the book so-

yea

[sharp mulch]

Also some of the results they present are pretty widely criticized

[glacial lake]

yea ig

[sharp mulch]

I will say that they can present information in a very fun way

They're quite effective communicators

[opal lichen]

I'm tired of life

I no longer want to try making something of myself

I'm stupid and incompetent and will never earn enough money to live

[unborn meteor]

no you are not

[opal lichen]

why so

I'm not skilled at any e-sport, I'm not a good programmer, I don't know how to make music, I don't have a good computer to do video editing for Youtube videos, I have no creativity whatsoever

in what way can I be useful to anyone?

[unborn meteor]

those careers are not the careers that most people do

[unborn meteor]

there are many other jobs like construction, graphic design, writing, teaching

[opal lichen]

it's hard to make a living with a regular-ass job in Romania

[unborn meteor]

also i can teach you programming

[opal lichen]

my dad doesn't even earn 1000 dollars a month and he works on excel sheets

[true zinc]

we both can teach you programming and maths

[unborn meteor]

i bet that (except for programming) less than 10,000 people make a living off these jobs

[opal lichen]

cool

I'll take the offer

[unborn meteor]

bet

[unborn meteor]

accept friend req

[opal lichen]

ok did

[jovial ember]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hess_triangle

Pls read this

[solar hawk]

Yeah but it’s a cubic, and it’s depressed, and polynomials roots r usually studied

It’s funny

Maybe it would be funnier if it was

“Why was the cubic depressed? It couldn’t find its quadratic term…”

But this isn’t as funny cuz looking for roots is something people do maybe the cubic was looking for its origins and its family…

Making the original joke funny

“In this essay I will…”

Hi first time in general 2

[north topaz]

@proper spire

[proper spire]

Hello?

[north topaz]

oh you are here, just checking

sorry for the ping

[wise jetty]

OH MY GOD

[north topaz]

some of the green helpfuls are fans of your YT channel

[wise jetty]

IT'S ACTUALLY ZETAMATH

I-

UHHHHH

[ebon mural]

Simping.

[proper spire]

Haha oh nice! I'm super glad folks enjoy it!

[wise jetty]

south you're the best ❤️

[wise jetty]

you are basically who got me into analytic NT

thank you for that

i absolutely adore your videos

(even though there are only 5)

[cyan parrot]

5 extremely good ones?

[wise jetty]

yes

they are top-tier

[proper spire]

haha well, there will be a sixth. It turns out that I should probably not have asked my husband to animate contracting a curve around a finite number of points.

[wise jetty]

oo

[proper spire]

he may have spent more time animating that for the next video than it was actually worth haha

[wise jetty]

very cool

that's absolutely awesome to hear :D

when is it gonna come out

(if there is an estimate)

[proper spire]

I don't have a good ETA, but I'll be happy when it does. It got delayed a bunch by things like us buying a house and him getting a job (and he is my editor/animator/etc)

[wise jetty]

ah okay

i'll be waiting

[proper spire]

but we hope to get on a more regular release schedule eventually. Since you're a fan, would you prefer more analytic number theory stuff, or would you prefer a broader range of topics

I was thinking about doing a detour into elliptic curves for instance

[wise jetty]

i think i wouldn't care as long as it's you

elliptic curves are really cool though

would you mind doing one on algebraic number theory?

specifically primes in the cyclotomic integers or smth

[proper spire]

I just talked about them in my number theory/cryptography course today

[wise jetty]

oo

very cool
are the lectures up on youtube?

[proper spire]

The hardest part of doing that is that there is a lot of machinery there that regarding group theory and quotients and Grothendeik groups and all that is hard to compress.

I'm not at all saying I wouldn't though, it is all very cool stuff

[wise jetty]

i understand

hm

what do you think of a basic intro to smth like diff. geometry?

i recently got into it and i think it's an absolutely fascinating field

[proper spire]

Diff Geometry vs Algebraic geometry and the ideas that go into proving the Weil conjectures is definitely something I enjoy talking about

[wise jetty]

oh that's awesome

those are like my two favorite subjects :D

[ebon mural]

I love algebra and geometry.

[proper spire]

(I am an arithmetic geometer by trade. I learned some limited analytic number theory shortly before making the videos mostly because I was disappointed I didn't really know/understand it. I didn't really have a plan for what to do with it, and then Covid happened and I was making videos anyway, and it was like "sure, this is a fun project")

[wise jetty]

oh

[proper spire]

I was around here a lot showing people clips and asking for feedback when I was doing the first iteration

[north topaz]

I will say it is lovely to have queer representation in maths!

[wise jetty]

i was going to say that but i was too shy

[north topaz]

also you collabed with Cracking the Cryptic

that is insane

hats off to you

[wise jetty]

who's that?

[north topaz]

how have I never heard of you zetamath

[north topaz]

sudoku guy

[wise jetty]

yeah just saw, i think i've seen him

he makes really cool videos

[proper spire]

haha yes, there are thousands of hours of video fo me solving sudoku puzzles on my puzzle channel haha

https://www.youtube.com/@tommyocchipinti7683/videos Here are some (significantly less professional) lecture vides on a variety of topics from courses I've taught

[wise jetty]

oh my god

that's-
thank you so much zetamath

this is so cool

[proper spire]

https://www.youtube.com/zetamathdoespuzzles this is the puzzle channel btw, I'd love to have you in chat in streams if you want to hop by some time!

[plain island]

yooo cool puzzles, I've seen you on ctc

[wise jetty]

oh my god that'd be so cool

frankly i'm pretty mid at sudokus

but uh yeah that'd be fantastic

sorry to bother you btw but i really really love your videos

[proper spire]

getting into puzzle stuff was definitely one of the coolest things that happened to me

[wise jetty]

@proper spire could i--just possibly--send you a friend request

i understand if you don't want me to ofc

uh

i'm guessing i tired you out with my hyperactivity
no worries

[proper spire]

haha nah I had a student drop by office hours, feel free

[wise jetty]

ah okay

thanks

woo hoo

[neat lintel]

i almost made a theory that actually had potential of becominng true but got unproven

[willow wadi]

yeah, it was what the single susbstance the universe was made of

I was thinking about u like 2 weeks ago

Just like “wonder how they’re doing?”

HI ZETA I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL

[proper spire]

hehe wow I am very flattered by how many folks here know my videos!

[umbral forge]

Oh I remember seeing your videos I think a few years ago on the zeta function

Very nice series

[deep mango]

ive watched so many of those sudoku streams

and solved a bunch myself beforehand

when CTC isnt enough to scratch the itch...

[fresh comet]

oh hey! I see you're briefly back on this server!

[gusty socket]

i saw some of your videos a long time ago, i have not been on youtube in a long time but i remember liking them.

[proper spire]

I check in from time to time!

[fresh comet]

I guess I'll just take the time to say that I really enjoyed your analytic continuation video

I hope you've been doing well ❤️

[proper spire]

I have been!

Hopefully you have as well?

[proper spire]

I was very happy with how that one came out.

[fresh comet]

for the most part!

[north topaz]

HI HIGHER

FINISHED MY ESSAY!!

[fresh comet]

hi south!

[fresh comet]

awesome! what was it on?

[north topaz]

social constructionism

[fresh comet]

cool!

[north topaz]

that's the boring answer, the real answer was that it was about TW: ||child sexual abuse|| and how the law, the media, and individuals are constantly trying to win over the public

how our understanding and our cultural baggage relating to this social problem has evolved over time

[neat lintel]

what if we are not humans, this is not a world, and u are not u?

[north topaz]

principle of explosion my dudes

[neat lintel]

Do you mean like how instead of trying to teach you stuff the media just wants your attention nowadays

[north topaz]

yeah I talked about sensationalism

how of course this social problem is very tangible and real

[deep mango]

The italian place is playing Nirvana

[neat lintel]

what does child sexual abuse mean?

[north topaz]

can you stop trolling

you can Google

[neat lintel]

im not kidding

Still Google it

[north topaz]

but how the media weaponises our fears

[neat lintel]

ok

[north topaz]

'stranger danger' for example

[fresh comet]

ic

[north topaz]

most victims are harmed by someone they know

[neat lintel]

Yeah lol

This has messed up haloween

[north topaz]

so glad there's a solid body of research that's trying to investigate all this for us

depressing topic I know

[neat lintel]

Like I know the problem is real but it's over exaggerated

[finite wave]

morning

[north topaz]

interesting

[neat lintel]

Good morning

UGGGH WTF?

[neat lintel]

Disgusting I know

[neat lintel]

PEOPLE ARE SICK

We gotta be glad that FBI police CIA and more exist so they can stop those guys

What does the CIA do again

I forgot

[neat lintel]

i think spy on people?

[neat lintel]

[neat lintel]

Thanks

[neat lintel]

urw

Yeah this world is pretty messed up

That's personally why I wanna be a cop

[neat lintel]

ok thats actually a BIG W

Trainings gonna be hard but it's gonna be worth it

[vast otter]

supposed to deal with foreign political affairs and deal with any threats of that variety, but don't ask what they did during the 1980s Nicaraguan civil war

[neat lintel]

spoiler alert: i was trolling, ik what this means and its disgusting as fuck

[neat lintel]

Glad you share the sentiment at least

If I don't get to be a cop I'll be a teacher instead

[neat lintel]

changes their career in less than a min'

Yeah

Either Spanish or math

It id rather do math

Cuz that's like very necessary

english or spanish?

[fresh comet]

stranger danger is... quite prevalent in the minds of my parents too

[jovial ember]

Hi speedy

[fresh comet]

unfortunate

[north topaz]

yeah it's a very 80s thing

it's ironic that violent crime rates have fallen by quite a lot compared to the 80s

yet children are more sheltered from the outside world than ever

[jovial ember]

You say it’s front

Irony

[north topaz]

there are parents who believe in nature school and getting their kids covered in mud

[jovial ember]

I say it’s causation

Less children outside => less violent crimes yup yup

[unborn meteor]

whats wrong with this image

[north topaz]

well violent crimes in general

not specifically against children

[jovial ember]

I’m saying that this is causation

Look at the facts

[tough dawn]

but it is not so advanced I think

[jovial ember]

Children 🙏 commit 🙏 the 🙏 violent 🙏 crimes

[narrow talon]

Which country bro

[north topaz]

US

[proud olive]

Wow hurray, let's celebrate that we're not yet back at the great depression era

[narrow talon]

I mean I wasn't celebrating but ight

[proud olive]

Wonder why it was high during the 1980s tho

That's not the great depression

I'm dumb

Gonna go to bed now

[covert portal]

why does the graph skyrocket after the civil rights bill 1964? i know correlelation dne causation, but why

maybe because not the full graph is shown

it's probably to do with lead poisoning

Pure evil

[willow wadi]

This might be an understatement

[midnight vessel]

Some people just want to watch the word "Burn"

Burn

[bright orchid]

should i quit school and become a professional failure who sits in front of her computer all day cause i'm failing all my classes and my homeschool implemented a bright idea this year to not accept any work outside of the 3 week period it was assigned in and now i couldn't care less about any of it

like its only halfway through the semester but i don't have the energy to want to pass my classes
at the same time, it'll be humiliating as fuck if i had to repeat the grade because i'd lose any advantage i once had over my peers

like i'd genuinely be happier selling my soul and existence to someone than trying to understand granular division or whatever it is

not granular division ummm. Synthetic division. sorry I think about granular synths a lot lately even though i'm awful at making music and generally just awful at everything i don't know why i am here because i really don't like math and i don't like school in general i probably needed help but i haven't paid attention in that class for the past 4 weeks so its kind of pointless trying to catch up now

[midnight vessel]

Relatable

[bronze pelican]

No, you shouldn't.

[midnight vessel]

Tho if I wanted to sell my soul I'd probably have to pay for someone to agree to take it

[bronze pelican]

Ask for help.

[bright orchid]

I can't it's kind of too late to do that hold on

let me log into my school portal for the first time in. a month?

ok yeah it's too late

[bronze pelican]

You need to communicate with your course instructor about the problems you are having.

[north topaz]

Have some kindness for yourself
You can only improve if you learn to ask for help

Importantly, is this high school or uni?

[bright orchid]

High school, 11th grade

[north topaz]

Look at your graduation requirements

If you hate maths that much then you need to figure out your next steps

How much more maths do you need just to graduate and do the bare minimum

[bright orchid]

I think this course is the bare minimum but judging by past mathematical endeavors I will have to repeat it (I had to repeat algebra like 3 times and i still don't remember any of it)

[north topaz]

Yeah okay you just need to pass alg 2 or something right

That's a tricky situation

[bright orchid]

and I don't have enough credits to graduate (I need 220) i have like 105 right now and i might have 145 at the end of this grade if i pass every class besides art

i am passing like 3 classes in actual grading terms but barely. for some reason i have like a 52% in one class but its still a c? anyway if it was using the normal grading scale i would be failing every class except math which is ironic cause math is the one im the worst at but i use chatgpt for a bunch of stuff in the class cause i can never wrap my head around it

[bright orchid]

My dad said im probably n.otgoign to finish high school so what do i do how am i going to live at all how am i gonna find someone who wants to be around someone like me i don't want to be homeless i dont want to die but like always i can never even be honest with anyone i always lie to everyone even here because i do want to die im just a coward sorry imjst upstt my dad thinks that even though he's probably right

[north topaz]

If it really doesn't work out just take the GED

[bright orchid]

im not old enough to take it

[north topaz]

I mean you can if you happen to not graduate

[bright orchid]

i will be next year but everyone in my family will be disappointed in me if i do
it'll be easier if i get in some freak accident that forces me to quit

[north topaz]

There's that saying about making a fish climb up a tree you know

how to learn math quickly in a foreign language?

[limber thunder]

depends on how acquianted are you with said foreign language already, I don't think it's gonna be quick if you don't already know it at a basic conversational level

reading papers in the language helps

[rocky arrow]

I know basic parts of the language but not the mathematical part, like names and words for things, etc. And I generally have a hard time understanding math even in my mother language

[quaint cipher]

Is it normal to have no idea where to start with a question?

Yes. The more it is a research question, the more true it is.

Where in Aus are you? It's really not hard to find them in most places.

[ember lance]

I am in Canberra, but I don't have a car. I've seen a few roadkill, so I am just waiting to eventually see one live.

[forest jackal]

Canberra is like ideal for seeing them, e.g. bottom of mt ainslie, near war memorial etc. Lots of bushland not far from town centre where you can see them.

[ember lance]

Ah that's close enough to give it a shot. I was suggested Tidbinbilla but that was too far for me (for now).

[neat lintel]

thats so cute

[forest jackal]

Tidbinbilla is nice but yeah no need to go that far if it is just about seeing kangaroos.

Probably just in a zoo or something, I don't recall actually coming across them.

I think squirrels/chipmunks are much cuter than possums, probably a matter of which you grew up seeing lots of.

[ember lance]

My "this" is for the second part of your sentence. I grew up seeing lots of squirrels so they are meh to me. And in the cuteness scale of Australian animals, I think the wombat is on top.

Sad the invasive bunnies are outcompeting them.

congrats!

[forest jackal]

wombats are pretty cute yeah. also I love how dopey koalas look. they are just stoner bears in trees.

[ember lance]

ahhh fck I didn't process what you were saying because I was thinking about animals. This is 99% a scam.

well they weren't explicitly trying to sell anything (yet)
so atm just a spammer

still bad

[neat lintel]

my guy kiyoshi thought its

about animals

😭

[ember lance]

It's really his first post that screams scam. Say they made X amount of money very fast and very easy ( in this case online ). Then they mention that it was an expert that helped them make it (this gives me a hint of MLM, but could also be a "you need to make an initial investment scam"). But really it's a "friend in this server" the final nail since it's their first post it just means they're copy pasting it from server to server.

[ember lance]

lol nah I just skimmed his post cause I was thinking about the animal conversation.

[frail osprey]

should i uhh gamble for my grades

[tribal slate]

is there a set of symbols/names that dont have preffered ordering attached

like numbers or letters have the normal ordering

[river moon]

pick any set

there wouldn't be apriori any ordering

[tribal slate]

not set in like a rigorous sense

like assume you have 4 things that you want to name

you can name the alice bob charlie david

but that gives a ordering a b c d

i can name the north south west east

but what if it were 5

[river moon]

it doesn't though

[tribal slate]

i want to name the that dont have privledge to one

[river moon]

just because you have 4 names doesn't imply it makes sense to order them

or to use a specific order

[tribal slate]

to normal human it might do

if i had quadruplets

and named them a b c d

people would assume a was born first(last"

"some people"

[river moon]

well then you can pick any set and use alphabet to refer to it's elements and that would be your "order"

[old oak]

Yeah, I think g24 is asking for a naming convention that wouldn't implicitly order the objects

[tribal slate]

something like that

[tribal slate]

well not unless that alphabet choice is immedeatly seen

you wouldnt order n e w s

not unless you have some reason to do so

keep in mind im talking about humans in general choosing that order

[old oak]

You can do colors, maybe

[tribal slate]

like in daily life

[river moon]

that's all subjective and personal preference

[tribal slate]

ah right

[old oak]

There isn't an implicit ordering between colors, although they carry other associations

[tribal slate]

thats a good one

[tribal slate]

yeah thats fine

[tribal slate]

yes but i am talking about humans in general so a rule that works for majority is fine

like conventional beauty

subjective, but for the general public it can be objectified

[river moon]

even the colors can be ordered depending on what colors used and which country you're in

[tribal slate]

true, like the rainbow

[quaint cipher]

This should be opposite?

[sharp mulch]

Which inequality would you reverse?

[quaint cipher]

these two ig?

[sharp mulch]

The first inequality is not true

[quaint cipher]

what about the second

[sharp mulch]

The second inequality is true

[quaint cipher]

why is the first false

[sharp mulch]

Try it for n=3

[quaint cipher]

1/4<1/4!+1/5!+... It holds

[main elbow]

does it ?

e - 1 - 1 - 1/2 - 1/6 is like 0.06

[solid snow]

notice that the middle sum is e - \sum_{k=1}^{n} 1/k!

[main elbow]

$e = \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{1}{k!}$

[fathom swallow]

Acman

[main elbow]

so i used this allo, except you want to start at k=0 not k=1

[solid snow]

ah yea i messed up the index

[quaint cipher]

How did you guys notice that it's wrong so quick without calculating

[old oak]

This is a well-known series and estimates that involve it show up very often in exercises.

So a lot of us have seen various inequalities of this type before.

In particular it's a known (and important) fact that the tails of the series shrink very quickly, so it's immediately unlikely that they'd be larger than 1/(n+1)

[simple haven]

It should be $$\frac{1}{n+1}<\sum_{k=n+1}^{\infty}\frac{n!}{k!}<\frac{1}{n}$$

[fathom swallow]

KStar

[old oak]

That does seem more likely.

[simple haven]

(I know because I wrote it lmao I made a typo)

[neat lintel]

what does sigma mean in mathematics?

[neat lintel]

what grade are you?

[gusty socket]

khan academy is a good place to start if you have not checked it out already

[signal shard]

A sigma is a greek letter that has applications in math. The sigma summation is the collective values of a sequence or set of numbers.

within a paremeter

so the sum of n=0 to 5 if the parameter is set to just (x) were adding the integers, 1+2+3+4+5 = 15

it has wide application and can be used to approximate large sets and even the areas under curves

https://tenor.com/view/bts-jungkook-rap-monster-confused-math-problems-gif-14801106

in the case of this gif you can see the upper and lower bounds of the sum (meaning the range of numbers inputted into the parameter) . In this case it would not be considered a expression anymore but a equation, so its a fancy way of saying: y=6x. Try graphing it on desmos, helps understand whats going on.

[dapper pier]

[neat lintel]

Will asking a teacher why he teaches a certain way offend him?

I'm trying to understand how he rationalizes the choices he makes when teaching. I find that the exercises tend to be so hard even he is incapable of solving them easily. Also he has no standard textbook and doesn't provide notes. I find his choices too odd.

[lament fable]

Chat why can I divide by 0 and not get a math error 😭

[neat lintel]

Is it just laziness or does he actually think a certain way about this?

[lament fable]

Yes, no or maybe. Serveral factors such if you forward it like you are unsatisfied vs curious and if they are able to take criticism or not.

[neat lintel]

Just something i've wondering: Why do most teachers behave like children? I mean, is behaving like you never grew up standard everywhere or just academia?

[lament fable]

I guess that’s your campus then. Mine are professional and even gives feedback same day

[neat lintel]

This is an honest question, it's been bothering me since i started my degree. Do people in academia tend to have more fragile egos or something?

[neat lintel]

Maybe that's an unreasonable generalization though

[mint canopy]

I have to say that this isn't my experience and I'm sorry you've had to deal with immature people

Asking why he teaches in a certain way?

[solar hawk]

I think it depends on the professor your relationship with them and what the way they teach is tbh.. but I don’t actually know

[neat lintel]

would be hella sick if there was one though

we should get on that

make a website and have it contain a series of problems for every subject ordered by difficulty, like a leet code for mathematics. then we could also it detail relevant research projects in that particular field that you can look at and label them like extreme difficulty

this is such a good idea, we once we have some free time we should do this guys

[deft dust]

[desert token]

I spent nearly 2 hours trying to solve a math problem

And I still don’t understand it

I feel like an idiot

So I want to do something about it

[coral iron]

spend 22 more hours and blame yourself afterwards

thats the experience I've had

[desert token]

What’s the best way to learn how to solve a problem I’m struggling with?
My current plan is this:

attempt 1: do the problem from memory of studies and notes

Attempt 2: do the problem with the help of my notes

Attempt 3: use resources from professor (YouTube links) and online sources like this server

If I can’t do it after 3 attempts I’ll move on and get help from a tutor or until someone online responds

Any changes to my strategy or ideas on how I should approach problems I’m stuck on?

[coral iron]

I think its good to be conscious if you're making any real progress on the problem or if you're necessarily stuck

then evaluate why are you stuck

is it lack of knowledge or creativity/skill

if it is lack of knowledge then reading notes and things online helps, but if its skill and you're sure you won't make further progress its better to not exhaust yourself trying to get something out of nothing, the time may be better spend reading the solution and thinking "how could I have come up with this myself?"

[desert token]

I see

[neat lintel]

Is a math degree more beneficial if i want to study tcs or should the difference between math and cs degrees be negligible?

[coral iron]

wdym getting a degree in math wanting to study cs

I mean, I'm biased, I'll say math is the hard part lmao

on anecdotal evidence

[neat lintel]

I'm interested in complexity theory and type theory

[coral iron]

I won't give you advice because it always turns out bad in the end

but I do think the transition from computer science concepts to rigorous proof based math is harder than the converse

[ember lance]

Probably depends on your uni, but in general I'd say cs.

At least in my ug institution only the cs folks touched those topics.

As for the necessary mathematical classes, they were usually cross-listed cs/applied math/math

[neat lintel]

That's fair, it works that way here as well. But at the end of the day why does it matter? Connections?

Yeah, the degrees where i live are quite inflexible so i don't really have much of a choice on the classes i take.

[ember lance]

I'm mostly thinking about the mandatory classes.

[neat lintel]

Yeah

[neat lintel]

The problem is that our majors are not thought out with wiggle room to allow for multiple interests, so they are quite inflexible and are making my life harder that is necessary

Because i feel a math degree would benefit me more for the cs topics i'm interested in. But maybe that doesn't matter after you're doing the phd?

[sand lodge]

An issue may be that if you are doing theoretical computer science, you probably want a decent core math background (logic, analysis/probability, algebra, topology etc.) that may not count for CS. But the actual courses most immediately useful for research (complexity, algorithms, optimization, coding theory, crypto, info theory etc.) may not count for the math degree.

Reasonable people can also disagree on the extent to which "everything is downstream for math" and that if you know enough "real math," then you can trivially pickup anything you would use for TCS

[neat lintel]

That's exactly the problem. There is also the networking problem as well. My class started with 2 students, so the math major is also pretty small

[neat lintel]

Well, that's largely true for tcs though

[ember lance]

Yup most of those math classes you mentioned were taken by CS people at my uni. But in this case, they were actually mandatory and thus counted towards their degrees.

[static loom]

networking like router/switch or you mean like socially

[ember lance]

Another thing you might be able to do is audit classes.

[neat lintel]

Also, a cs major has more potential industry opportunities if i end up being a mediocre student and can't get into a phd

[neat lintel]

I mean talking to professors about your interests mostly, but there is also the problem that there is a very limited number of students to talk to and very few of the hard working ones are interested in the same things i'm

[ember lance]

In one of my grad institutions we had a CS student auditing the algebra grad sequence with us

[neat lintel]

Also doing undergrad research

Yeah, auditing is sn option

[neat lintel]

Lol the cs people at your uni did topology?

[ember lance]

Anyways since this seems like a life defining decision for you I have to say the mandatory "but idk" in case it ruins your life

[neat lintel]

Yep

I'm just thinking about it, good to get some input

Even if it's probably not gonna impact my decision very much

[neat lintel]

I would dare say none is

Since there are like 9, 10 of them i know about

Also, since we are here already, there is the problem that i'm not that great st math and even though i study hard i largely get mediocre grades. So that may impact my chances of a phd

[viscid lichen]

There are even multiple ways to solve this just in the head lol

[midnight vessel]

Like 10÷2x = 10÷2×x and since both division and multiplication have same priority, you must do ÷ first and then ×

Lol

If we take 0 as X, then 10 is 1X, so 1×X

(Note: it’s 7:03 pm) where I am rn

[brisk jacinth]

I used to experience panic attacks during every math exam I took. Because of these, I’d fail no matter what, and that would lead to me having yet another attack on the next exam

I’ve been shot at, I’ve gone through a potentially life-ending health scare, I’ve been in a number of car crashes, and I have been mugged a number of times just given my area. Lower division college math is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life and it is not close

But at some point, you just wake up and realize that you’re a man, and part of this life is to challenge yourself

And you actually start to like it. It doesn’t have to be mathematics but it sounds like it is for you. Just knowing that you can conquer something that once gave you so much trouble will make you so confident about life

How to understand that the symmetry of A (from being positive definite) ensures the symmetry of adj(A)?

[leaden torrent]

A = A^T
take adj of both sides
adj(A) = adj(A^T) = adj(A)^T
QED

if you dont see why adj(A^T) = adj(A)^T, try working that out yourself

[icy locust]

Is this a serious take on helping—from a moderator—or

[leaden torrent]

?

[icy locust]

The question itself is about why adj(A^T) = adj(A)^T, right?

It feels like just restating what was posed in the question

[leaden torrent]

i mean, this isnt a help channel; if they cant prove this themselves then they should open one

but also this is basically immediate from the definition

[icy locust]

ah

okay then

[leaden torrent]

the question is to prove that adj(A) = adj(A)^T

my argument shows that this is equivalent to adj(A^T) = adj(A)^T

this is often the very first thing proven about adjoints

but if they havent proved it yet then they should try it themselves

[neat lintel]

The world isnt made rules its made of tools we use to do stuff and learning why those tools exist what they do and how they do it will eventually enable you to know when and how to modify and apply them creatively

But you have to be interested to get that far
And you wont be interested if you arent curious and having fun

[static loom]

that definitely aligns with how I think of math. By analogy with art, I kind of think of those rules kind of playing the role of the concrete objects like a brush, canvas, charcoal, paint, etc. Then because of, or maybe even despite these constraints, creativity emerges in how you combine and use them

[rugged elm]

Many rules are made because they simply exist and are there since the dawn of the universe I think they are called axioms...but again I think rules are made bcoz humans are predictably unpredictable...u don't know what they can do next so inorderto maintain discipline and save humanity just create rules...

Annoyingly, Tits's Wikipedia page has the IPA, but none of the Tietzes' do.

[ember lance]

Good evening

[ember lance]

I (mentally) pronounced it as Tiësto. I don't think I ever actually said it out loud.

Like not literally Tiësto, but like the first part in it: Tië-tze

Reminds me of when my classmates looked at me strangely for calling $\varphi$ literally "varphi".

[fathom swallow]

きよし

[old oak]

When I was a student, my analysis professor pronounced the name "Stokes" as if he was German.

And Maclaurin as if he was French

And Stieltjes as if I have no idea (and also I've only recently looked up how "Stieltjes" should be pronounced)

[ember lance]

Lemme check google translate to see how it sounds in those accents

[old oak]

(for reference; Stokes was Irish, and Maclaurin was Scottish)

And Stieltjes was Dutch

[ember lance]

I guess no one I've known has ever pronounced Stieltjes correctly in front of me
(or if they have I wasn't paying attention )

[flat harbor]

i always thought it was steel chess

when huygens is transliterated into hangul most modern sources (like post 2010) will read ha wee huns or smth like that

but when i see it in english i cant help but just read it as higens

[old oak]

I think something like this, yes

[rose quarry]

What is a circle?

[ember lance]

huygens is so close to being an anagram of nguyen I thought it was vietnamese at first

[neat lintel]

Good afternoon here lol

how's it going?

are you in Japan?

[ember lance]

all is going well grading a few exams still. No I am not in Japan.

[neat lintel]

Good luck with the exams

[desert token]

How do I effectively memorize the math material that I study?

[solid snow]

dont memorize, understand

[lament fable]

Unless you got a photographic memory, memorising won’t work, split the equation into parts untill you understand each part from term to term to sum

[desert token]

I’ve tried doing that

Writing down what I’m doing and why

[plain pebble]

can anyone check my ticket im kinda cooked

[midnight vessel]

!noadvertising

[quasi jetty]

Please do not advertise your help channel or thread in other parts of the server. There are many people who need help, so advertising can quickly turn into spam.

[delicate tendon]

if you memorize, it would be harder to apply into problems that need more thought and understanding than what you may have just memorized if that makes sense

Its a difference between just i guess memorizing and actually trying to understand and apply into higher levels of problems

[wind mango]

Ok chat let's see if I've done goofed my math test

[wind mango]

Got an 8 ^(°∆°^)

[golden swallow]

Out of what

[gusty socket]

8

[wind mango]

Oh 8/10

Forgot other grading systems exist

[timid raptor]

Is it a linear grading system?

[neat lintel]

no it's quadratic

[sharp mulch]

Z_2 grading

[rocky shuttle]

either pass or fail

dependent upon if you get an even or odd number of problems correct lol

[neat lintel]

suppose that 1 + 1 = 2

Ok, this is not purely mahematical. But I wanted to know how would mathematicians build this graph. You have (-1,0) as the worst person and (1,0) as the best person about all aspects, making the point of origin the most average person that could there be. But imagine a person that is the absolute bare minimum of everything. Like he gets to be the bare minimum of a genius and the bare minimum of stupid. Or in this case he was the bare minimum of stupid and then became so smart he’s technically a genius. How would this graph look like? Would there be a y or z axis to quantify this person?

Just wanted to know if this problem is allowed here.

[sharp mulch]

What

[unborn talon]

Damn

[sand lodge]

Sir, this is not a eugenics discord

[unborn talon]

:(

[neat lintel]

crazy thats a sticker in the bio cord 😭

[neat lintel]

I think to visualize you can start at (-1,0) by looking in the mirror

[unborn talon]

Dude you don’t have to cook what’s already burnt

Looking at what some British students take in their equivalent senior year of high school is really demoralizing as a second year undergrad lol

[gusty socket]

all you can do is look at what's in front of you really

[near mango]

Oh totally

Its really meaningless, not a race

But it does make me question which education system is better yk?

I'm doubting they go as in depth in a lot of the topics as university courses go cuz a lot of those higher level exams seem computation heavy as standardized tests. But still i think a lot of that stuff could reasonably be taught to high school students if we didn't have the specific course markers here

And of course not every British student are taking those courses, but the equivalent in the US seems a lot more obtuse cuz we'd have to go to community colleges and whatnot on top of other high school classes to get a similar education

[plain island]

6th form is basically their equivalent of community college

[clever widget]

google fuzzy set theory

[north topaz]

Only 2% of UK students who take A levels take further maths

So that's like 1% of all students in that age group

Also the syllabus is full of gaps: no limit definition of derivative and students learn to integrate rational functions and do partial fraction decomposition before they know how to sketch them

More testing doesn't mean more learning

The good thing is that multiple choice is just not a thing in maths

It's all short answer

[thick yacht]

Or furry Cat theory.

[near mango]

I see so ig there are trade offs

[north topaz]

Yes

Also most people only do 3 or 4 A levels

They're spending more time on maths than US students if they choose it

[ionic wharf]

hi i made something in desmos where can i upload a video of it?

[ember lance]

I just realized this is how I feel on meetings

Suddenly I've started to have so many meetings. And I feel like 3 kids in a trenchcoat faking it

The first time I felt like this was the first time I was a teaching assistant.

Standing in front of the classroom seeing students write what I said.
