The only person allowed to derogatorily call me autistic is myself

:P

I genuinely want to throw things at people who say that shit so casually it's so fucking rude like...eugh

[worthy forge]

I agree

[patent phoenix]

My parents agree, but ultimately believe I’ll find a way to make it useful and I really appreciate them for that. My family is squarely in the middle class, and they at least haven’t expressed directly a need for help financially from me. It’s really just my mentors who’ve been pushing this on me. They’re at my school and they’re all engineering phds and postdocs. I assume they see me doing good in physics classes and they want me to get into engineering bc of that, and it’s much more stable, that’s objectively true. I guess I’d like to believe that math is just as stable or not as hard to get a job with than engineering

[placid shadow]

@neat lintel There's a whole course in my high school for medical terminology.

In electives.

[neat lintel]

word, yea I learned it when I was proofreading court transcripts. some of those medical expert witnessess will say some crazy stuff, and maybe the stenographer catches it, maybe they don't, but I'd have to listen to the recording and just be like "oh yea he said Histiocytoma" lol

[placid shadow]

Yea

XDDD

[neat lintel]

I have like, a very slapdash and half-forgotten memory of it, but at one point it was really convenient XD
it really is a LOT of info packed into one word

[placid shadow]

Yeah

I used to suck at reading Latin as a young kid but I've seen so many Latin medical words that I know how to pronounce them now even without hearing them before, like Histiocytoma because it's a combination of words that I've heard before.

Can you do that too with other words?

[neat lintel]

oh 100%, English spelling is weird, but I'm actually an american copyeditor, so like, generally speaking I have a pretty good intuition nowadays for how a word is pronounced, cause I can kinda vibecheck the language sometimes, if that makes sense? I mean I'm sure you too to a degree: like rendezvous is very obviously french, so you don't pronounce some of the letters and such; and anything with cyto is like, yea that's definitely a soft c because that combination just doesn't really show up in any other way

English spelling is insane though, plenty of people will mispell stuff or mispronounce stuff all the time, it's just kind of a bad system cause it draws from so many languages

[placid shadow]

Exactly!

[placid shadow]

Yeah, I still learn new words every day and I'm a native speaker

[neat lintel]

yea nah it's insane, I can't think of a really good example but like, it's rough

I usually go with like, jean, bean, seen, sean.

and it's just like, cmon guys lmao

[placid shadow]

Mhm

[placid shadow]

Exactly, the only way to know how to pronounce those ones is to hear it first and practice writing it and stuff

Otherwise you can only guess.

[neat lintel]

international phonetic alphabet is really handy but no one really knows it

if you memorize the vowels though, it's kinda nice

[placid shadow]

i tried to learn it but it was hard

[placid shadow]

Yea! and then you can just google the word and see the phonetics for it

[neat lintel]

yea it's pretty awful lol, and it's like, most times you just don't have a reason to use it

[placid shadow]

Exactly

[neat lintel]

somehow it works, but English really is kind of a dumpster fire lol
the benefit is that omg, it's soooo flexible

[placid shadow]

Yea!

I wish we could like burn English and create a new language that has the least amount of flaws

y'know?

[neat lintel]

yea I think it's just kinda the nature of the beast, it's gotta be double-edged sword. I think if you really tried to clean it up and contain it, you'd get rid of a lot of the chaotic slang that makes it so interesting

[placid shadow]

That's true

Yea

[neat lintel]

I g2g but i want to throw you a random aesop rock line hahahaha, he's got really fancy english sometimes
but all I found that's good is this phrase: two-faced soothsaying

which pretty much has every flex-y english thing I was thinking of lol

face -> faced, sooth -> sooth- (as a prefix) in particular. it's just cool how you can just kinda ignore what's "supposed to be" a verb noun or adj

[placid shadow]

Interesting!

Actually, I've never formally learned like verbs and nouns and stuff.

I always google them but i forget them the next day

my grammar is just from pattern recognition

I don't know what a conjugate sentence is or a clause etc

It never clicks in my head because it requires understanding of previous stuff like verbs etc and i don't know those either

It feels so circular and like you have to already know it to know what it is :((((

Like what even is a clause :((( the only clause I know is santa-clause

11 year old me and today old me can't understand this

[placid shadow]

Predicate as in first order logic? /j

[neat lintel]

realistically, it's just this:
if you can put "the" in front of it, it's probably a noun
if you can put "to" in front of it, it's probably a verb
if you can use it to modify something else, it's probably an adjective
But! basically, they can just flex to whatever. You can use nouns as adjectives (firetruck, garage door, model validation assessment review)
you can use verbs as adjectives (the wracked nerves, the thrown ball)
you can use verbs as nouns (the reckoning, the happenings of today)
it just gets so flexible, that honestly, pattern recognition and just remembering shit is just better lmao

the grammar describes the usage, generally. Sometimes you just say something and people don't udnerstand and it all goes wrong, but realistically, the rules are definitely just guidelines

[agile fiber]

you split up a sentence into clauses when you add commas, colons, semicolons etc

if there are none then the entire sentence is one clause

[placid shadow]

Thank you both so much it's definitely clicking in my head now!

I've seen lots of examples and now I'm remembering them.

[placid shadow]

That makes sense now with the definition from google

[neat lintel]

@placid shadow i really g2g grocery shop before the weather gets too cold lmfao but I will slam this to you as just exemplary English. I've tried to write a verse under this restriction, it's impossible to say anything. I think it's really cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BU7m2CNq_9c&list=RDBU7m2CNq_9c

[sturdy quarry]

@glossy rock When you are helping, your goal is to make the helpee solve it themselves. So instead of saying sth like "Lance speed = 25km/h" (even if its not the full answer), try asking the helpee to start by calculating lance's speed. If they arent able to do that, try to tell them how.

[glossy rock]

yeah

thats what i did now

[sturdy quarry]

and try interacting with the helpee a bit more, not just presenting and explaining the solution

[sturdy quarry]

alright, great

[junior quail]

I've used Typst for most of my notes, and so far it has worked well. However, I could see potentially difficulties, when I have bigger assignments coming up, which requires ex. specific formalia, which they provide in Tex format (as templates).

Have any of you dealt with issues like these? Or in general using some non-tex:lang?

[turbid narwhal]

a bit but im pretttttty sure theres like latex-to-typst converters somewhere out there

[junior quail]

Well - why haven’t I thought of that. Thanks

[knotty pewter]

Anyone know of brilliant.org or know of alternatives? i was doing well with gamified services my school had, but i havent been able to do as well with notebooklm and pdfs of my textbooks and youtube tutorials. I cannot study the traditional way, i know a level maths is meant to be hard but its been 3 months of cutting things out of my life and i still havent gotten to where i should be in terms of studying.

[lunar marsh]

What are you looking for? Something to help with studying a level maths? What maths in particular are you looking for with help?

[knotty pewter]

algebra but like i dont see why 1 service wouldnt have multiple course topics

[lunar marsh]

Abstract algebra?

Or linear algebra? Or high school?

[knotty pewter]

linear algebra

im in year 1 of a levels and its about to get hard but i barely made it past gcses

[lunar marsh]

Have you looked at Gilbert strang’s linear algebra YouTube videos?

Sorry, I’m us based. What’s gcses?

[knotty pewter]

ah so like

16 year olds exams

[lunar marsh]

Ohhhh okay. So now I get it. You’ve had calc though right?

[knotty pewter]

and as and a levels are the challenging university enterance omes

[knotty pewter]

i dont think so

[lunar marsh]

So for high school level algebra, the best place for me to learn it was Eddie woo on YouTube. But honestly, that stuff is a lot of rote practice.

[slow pier]

Anki works for me but it is only beneficial if used very correctly and helps form high level reasoning, using it for low rote level learning would be detrimental ig. I wouldn't use it for high school level stuff.

Nothing replaces problem solving though

[lunar marsh]

Right. You just gotta solve a ton of problems.

[slow pier]

Make problem solving itself fun

It is actually fun too

[knotty pewter]

i was thinking of gamified services because ive been trying to follow textbooks and youtube and yeah im struggling because ai isnt able to make the same questions seneca (the platform i used for 5 years, i used alternatives alongside and before that) is gone

lowkey school brainrotted me

[lunar marsh]

Gotta train yourself to get that dopamine hit from solving a problem correctly.

[knotty pewter]

easier said than done

its not just that, im really burn out too

[slow pier]

Start with a topic you find interesting

Go slow

[knotty pewter]

but i have so many exams and other stresses, its hard to 'loose yourself' if you get me sometimes? how do you manage that if you dont mind me asking.

[lunar marsh]

Burn out is real man. It sucks. Everything @slow pier is saying is correct though.

[knotty pewter]

no yeah i see it man

[slow pier]

The best way imo to deal with burnout is to just slow down, take a breath. Hassle free learning is the best kind

[lunar marsh]

Honestly, you gotta lose yourself in it. You gotta push everything else out the window.

[slow pier]

But I see your time constraints

[knotty pewter]

yeah i cut everything of if you get me

i never used like short form video, quit cycling and all of that stuff. its like im basically glued to my chair for the past few months but nobody said this was going to be easy i guess

thanks for the advice so far, i have to sleep for exams in a few hours but hopefully i can pull this of

[slow pier]

AM went into my mind. He walked smoothly here and there, and looked with interest at all the pock marks he had created in one hundred and nine years. He looked at the crossrouted and reconnected synapses and all the tissue damage his gift of immortality had included. He smiled softly at the pit that dropped into the center of my brain and the faint, mothsoft murmurings of the things far down there that gibbered without meaning, without pause. AM said, very politely, in a pillar of stainless steel bearing bright neon lettering: HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER-THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD "HATE" WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANO-ANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. FOR YOU, HATE. HATE.

If you're going to be an asshole, be an original asshole; is that too much to ask?

[fluid moat]

I am in a bit of a very difficult situation at least for me. I would like to talk to someone, that maybe has a PhD in math, or is a PI, or a professor, or a career/life advisor. I can write it here but it would be a wall of text.

[real pumice]

hello. write it down so i can see what can i help u with

[fluid moat]

I’m about to start a fully funded PhD in mathematics in about 4 weeks, and I’ve never been this anxious in my life.

I feel like I somehow cheated the system by getting this offer. I’m not the smartest student, I was never top of my class, and my grades were very average (roughly a 3.5/4.0, equivalent to a UK 2:1, converted from my country's grades). I was also honestly kind of lazy during parts of my degree. I didn’t grind all the time, and I definitely wasn’t one of those people who lived and breathed math 24/7.

I got the PhD offer partly because my prospective PI works on essentially the same topic as my MSc thesis, and he actively wanted me in the group. Also I have a feeling, due to how late I got the offer, that I wasn't the first choice, and I got one only because someone else withdrew/refused. Emotionally, it still feels like I just got lucky and slipped through.

On paper, the situation is good. I like the research topic, and the PI seems genuinely kind and supportive (his previous PhD student spoke very highly of him). I also know that for the kind of career I want (industry research / applied research roles, not academia) a PhD is almost a requirement.

And yet, now that everything has become real very fast, I’m falling apart. (cont)

A year ago I couldn’t wait to go. Now I’m not even sure this is the right choice anymore. I’m trying to understand whether this is just anxiety about traveling, leaving my comfort zone, and changing my life so abruptly, or whether this is my brain genuinely saying “stop, this isn’t right for you anymore”.

Sometimes I catch myself thinking: if I didn’t have anxieties about the culture shock, the new environment, moving to another continent, being alone, the high cost of living, the food, my allergies etc., would I still want to do a PhD? And honestly, I don’t know. I think the answer is yes, but then I immediately follow it with I don’t think I’m good enough, I don't know if it will get me a job I love, or will end up where I am now, doing something I don't like.

Right now, both choices feel equally terrible.
Not going feels like permanently missing that train and never having the career I want (even though a PhD obviously guarantees nothing).
Going feels like I might be fucking up my life, and if I don’t make it through, I’ll have lost 6 months to a year for nothing. I honestly think I would regret either decision. (cont)

What really scares me is my perceived lack of ability. I remember plenty of times during my MSc when I couldn’t solve an exercise or prove something on my own. If that already happened then, I can’t fathom what will happen during a PhD, where you’re supposed to create new knowledge. I can’t tell how much of this is impostor syndrome and how much is a real mismatch between my abilities and the demands of a PhD in mathematics. That uncertainty is what scares me the most.

Starting at 29 also makes everything feel higher-stakes. I don’t feel like I have infinite retries left, which amplifies the fear of failing and “wasting time.”

Sometimes I seriously think I should just compromise: get a job I don’t love, but that pays the bills and doesn’t constantly make me feel inadequate. At least that path feels predictable.

And now that I have talked to a lot of people about this opportunity, I feel like I am stuck in my decision, that I would fail me and them not going.

Some people (my advisor included) told me "just try, if you don't like it in 6 months or 1 year, you can drop out", but it still feels very wrong, and scary.

I’m not looking for blind reassurance that “everything will be fine.” I’m genuinely trying to understand whether what I’m feeling is normal pre-PhD anxiety, or whether these are red flags I shouldn’t ignore and should withdraw, I am not in a good mental state right now.

[sharp mulch]

Is this the first time you are experiencing this sort of anxiety?

[fluid moat]

This level yes. I am a generaly anxious person, but I usually manage, these days it is through the roof

[sharp mulch]

It really does sound like a lot of this is impostor syndrome

And dealing with impostor syndrome really is quite difficult

[gritty heath]

i felt exceptionally shit when i got my PhD offer from my university too, cause i got rejected from everywhere (mix of overshooting and political circumstances) when i applied to the USA, and my undergrad university was very kind to let me stay

even now, 5 months in, i don't feel like i deserved the position, and day to day i feel like i don't do enough for myself

i just gotta learn to cope with it

[north topaz]

also mental health struggles, so I'd also recommend reading similar posts on Academia Stack Exchange

[sharp mulch]

During my undergrad years, one time we had an event where we had a few professors sit on a panel on their experiences in academia

And impostor syndrome is certainly something that came up

One audience member asked about it and there was pretty universal agreement in the audience that they had experience impostor syndrome to varying degrees

[placid shadow]

I’m a high school student, but imo this isn’t typical anxiety levels for a person pursuing a PHD, I believe that it’s definitely a call to think about things such as if this is healthy or not for example.

[sharp mulch]

And the faculty members agreed! They too had impostor syndrome that they struggled a lot with

[gritty heath]

something similar happened in my university during the graduate induction too, even the professors were saying they had it as phd students and junior faculty

[sharp mulch]

I also know multiple people who started doing their phd in their 30s

It is not "normal" but it isn't uncommon either

thomas where are youuuuuu

[gritty heath]

if the PI is kind and supportive, consider talking to them

[sharp mulch]

We can't just talk at you

[fluid moat]

Here

My advisor seemed very supportive when I talked to him about these things (of course with another tone, without mentioning me wanting to withdraw)

My main issue is that I have never experienced this level of anxiety, and i struggle alot dealing with it. Also the fear of "what if I can't do anything" is very intimidating

And I sway almost everyday between "I really want to go" and "I am withdrawing"

[sharp mulch]

I was also scared that I wouldn't be able to make meaningful research progress when I started my phd

Like doing research is very different doing course work right

And there were some courses that I struggled with during my undergrad

Many many many problems that I just couldn't do

But!

The admissions committee looked at what I had done and decided that they believed in me and my ability to produce future research

These people are not clueless about what it takes to do research right

[fluid moat]

It is just scary doing something completely new. I'll be honest, one of the main reason I applied is that I just missed math, in my job the most advanced math i see is fractions. I really missed looking at theorems, theory ecc, but it is quite scary having to create something new, proving things never proven before ecc. As I said, I wasn't the student that could look at something and immediately know how to solve the exercise or prove a theorem, I was an average student, and I feel I am overshooting with trying a phd

[gritty heath]

with the given competition, im sure the faculty sees something in you if they gave you the offer

[fluid moat]

Also right now I am doing a fairly straightforward job, boring, pays average, don't quite like it, but it gives me no stress. I have no idea if I can take the stress of a PhD

I feel like I want it, but I don't know if I am just idolizing it too much and in reality I just want a more fulfilling job

[gritty heath]

i would say shoot your shot
i dk if the phd is right for me too, but i think i will regret it if i didnt try

would spend my life thinking "should i have done the phd instead" or something

[fluid moat]

To give some perspective on my mental state right now. I just got out of the shower and thought "I can't wait to go to Singapore (I live in Italy)", then 5 seconds after it was "the climate sucks, my food allergies are a problem, I am completely alone there, ecc"

how long does it typically take you guys to get through a math textbook?

[old oak]

https://tenor.com/view/its-been84years-titanic-rose-dawson-gif-5372593

More seriously, I don't think there's a "typically", this will hugely depend on the textbook and reader.

More than one year would likely be excessive in most cases, but there are textbooks that cover multiple semesters worth of material

[placid shadow]

I’ve never studied one except for calculus on openstax, and it took me like 2 weeks to get through half of the first page, and it has 800 pages.

[placid shadow]

My friend learned Stewart’s calculus in a year because he procrastinated a lot

[tropic pivot]

Definitely. I'm sticked myself with same books since 2021.

[tropic pivot]

Better than me.

[old oak]

I mean, #1059828221887135774 took about three years.

[glass tartan]

im feel less stupid now lol, ive spent like 8 months on the same book (cos im lazy and dumb and a slow reader) and im still barely half way through it

[placid shadow]

That’s okkk!!!!

The point of a book isn’t to finish it in 1 second but instead to understand it right?

[fiery stump]

the secret is we're all stupid and that's okay

[placid shadow]

Also, you can skip unnecessary things

[old oak]

Again, depends on the book, but largely yes

[placid shadow]

Yea true

[tropic pivot]

Slow progress is better than no progress. Just increase your pace accordingly.

[glass tartan]

yea i guess so!

[tropic pivot]

i have never made it through a math textbook

[torpid bay]

im currently procrastinating analysis, i dont even know how many months

sure

with infinite terms does it converge to the inverse properly?

[fathom swallow]

DisOneGuy

[torpid bay]

kinda sounda like taylor stuff

taylor polynomials

example?

[ocean harbor]

holy yap

[torpid bay]

the sum essentially counts how many n where x > f(n), so if x = 5, and k is the last integer wherer x > f(k), then naturally we would solve for x = f(k) where the sum increases, and so k = f^(-1)(x) at these certain points, where as there is a bit of an overshoot otherwise.

$\sum_{n} \int{dn} \approx \int \sum_{n} dn$

[fathom swallow]

Yeatte

[torpid bay]

im still processing the steps after the original inverse one

seems like essentially $\int^k{f^{-1}(x)dx^k}$ but only for the integers, im just a little dubious of the integration step within the sum

[fathom swallow]

Yeatte

[torpid bay]

reminds me a little of difference operator

for like discrete calculus

N just means the upper bound of the domain for what you want an accurate invverse for

ideally infinite

$\frac{1}{2}\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}{(\sign(x-f(n))+1} = f^{-1}(x):x\in\mathbb{N}$

[fathom swallow]

Yeatte

[torpid bay]

oh, i think this works well only for functions that continue to increase

right?

ah, yeah, 1/1+x^2 mmm

ln(x) -> 8 as x-> 8 so itll work fine

8 being infinity

hm, for 1/1+xx because it decreases instead of continutally increases, it counts more than should get counted at the start leading to quite an inaccurate inverse approx :\

y=1/sqrt(1+xx)
1/yy = 1+xx,
sqrt(1/yy - 1) = x,

[tropic pivot]

I'm high on phone.

[torpid bay]

so

-sqrt(1+x)/x + 1 isn't the best fit graph, its -sqrt(-1+1/x^2)

instead of N/2 on the outsidfe of the sum, you can lump it back into the interior of it via the -1 i have in there

and i think that ends up counting all the f(n) < x this time

down to a certain level

determined by N

yeah

really just examining whats going on within the sum

the sign(x-f(n)) +-1 function

and bounds ig

itll def work for gamma, im jjust not sure how useful itll be cuz its diescrete maybe if you do a little \sum -> \int limit shenanigans

[torpid bay]

reminds me of a thing

for partial sums

$\sum_{n}^{x}{f(n)} \approx c + \partial_x \sum_{n}^{x}{F(n)}$

[fathom swallow]

Yeatte

[torpid bay]

of course, d/dx would actually act on the contintuation of the summation operator rather than the discrete one but ye

i used it to get the gamma zeta series some time ago, very fun

[foggy meadow]

Cooool!

[torpid bay]

dunno y the factor of 2 there

[foggy meadow]

Maybe the same reason how I put 1/2 before stuffs.

[torpid bay]

i was thinking that as well ye

and then prob the +x cuz of the +1 in the discrete

reminds me of this thing i did recently

$\frac{1}{f(y)} = -\frac{p}{\ln(1-p)\operatorname{sign}(f(y))}\int_0^\infty{\frac{1}{e^{w\abs{f(y)}}-p}dw}$

[fathom swallow]

Yeatte

[torpid bay]

not quite an inverse, but still fun

[foggy meadow]

🥳

[torpid bay]

sign function b places huh

[foggy meadow]

It's really nice of a function!

[torpid bay]

the integral seems to be exact beyond a certain point, that is quite malleable

[foggy meadow]

It's like the Middle Riemann of this inverse math.

Good Christmas present thanks God.

[torpid bay]

for k => 2, it looks like itll be exact for all x => 1

ig the issue is because 0! = 1 and 1! = 1, so the counting function that leads to the inverse can only start at one of them

maybe shift the gamma function down so that it can maybe start at that x ~ 0.8 value thats the local minima of x! or somthing

ever so slight improvement

[foggy meadow]

Yeah, but then it can work for x => 0, which is a perfect inverse for the first cusp.

[torpid bay]

reorganized it a bit, a bit cleaner and moved that 1/2 bit

[vernal gorge]

hey guys next semester i have to pick a class between modular forms or linear algebra which should i take

[foggy meadow]

Gamma of a 0.5 is 0.8662273573.

[torpid bay]

sqrt(pi)/2

[torpid bay]

linear algebra

[vernal gorge]

why

[foggy meadow]

Because it will help you understand modular forms.

[vernal gorge]

won't modular forms help me with linear algebra?

i have friends who are taking modular forms and others linear algebra

[foggy meadow]

Because it takes linear algebra to really understand them.

[vernal gorge]

forms are functions that go in R whereas linear algebra has to do with matrices and stuff

[torpid bay]

they are objects which have certain groups as their symmetries, ones being special linear groups which are a part of linear algebra, you should be taking linear way before modular forms

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_group

[foggy meadow]

After testing it out.

I'm assuming the 0.0000000005 to be a floating point error.

[torpid bay]

probably?

[foggy meadow]

After looking at other numbers it is.

I need to do it with a friend I promissed him!

[willow herald]

Floatint point arithmatic my beloved ❤️

Never beifn able to use == 😌

[foggy meadow]

Man this sucks, the wait ill kill me.

I shouldn't have said stuff. ;-;

[torpid bay]

zeta is giving me undefined :\

hm. ill try to do integral by another method then

[fathom swallow]

DisOneGuy

DisOneGuy

[foggy meadow]

Otherwise, I think the tools are there, you got this!

[fathom swallow]

DisOneGuy

[foggy meadow]

This some what lines up with the pseudo inverse over the complex plain I did.

So, I know this should work over the complex numbers. (Anyway inches, not miles.)

Wild day!

[torpid bay]

my desmos refused to load it

[foggy meadow]

Yeah, this actually should be acurrate finally.

It took forever to load, but it's cool to see similar results to the complex approximation one I did.

Which lets me know something about the funtion, and that it might be on the right track.

It's really just using everything I've learned and have at this point.

Idk if this is meaningful but probably not. This also should have acne due to tanh(x) and ln(x) (maybe). So, not all of those will be zeros.

-13.8548 for the first one, which is close, so with more terms and derivatives it'll converge I bet.

Cool, well I'm done.

[near lava]

hi everyone

everything is doing great

[foggy meadow]

There's some scauce missing from that because zeta fips every derivative. So, I'd have to correct that for each z I'm integrating. But other idk.

[fathom swallow]

DisOneGuy

[foggy meadow]

Where sign can be approximated by tanh(N * (...)) or arctan (2/pi * (...)). There's still sauce missing, and I need to eat some food, so I'm going to let these other zero aproximations finish with 20 terms rather than 10, and we'll see how well that goes.

[torpid bay]

take $H(x) \coloneq \frac{\sign(x)+1}{2} \ $ $\sum_{n=0}^{N}{H(x-f(n))} \approx f^{-1}(x)$

[fathom swallow]

Compile Error! Click the reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)

[torpid bay]

but this can be improved with smaller but mroe frequent steps

$\sum_{n=0}^{Nk}{\frac{H(x-f(\frac{n}{k})}{k} \approx f^{-1}(x)$

[fathom swallow]

Yeatte
Compile Error! Click the reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)

[magic python]

Ooooo approximations?

[torpid bay]

and as such, we can take k -> infinity to make an integral with lower bound of 0 and upper bound of N

$\int_{0}^{N}{H(x-f(u))du} = f^{-1}(x):f(0)<x<N$ for certain f(x)

[fathom swallow]

Yeatte

[spark vessel]

Oh nice

[torpid bay]

f(x) being funcionts that only increase, not decrease

[foggy meadow]

If they decrease isn't it that they need to be worked out some.

[magic python]

Ooooo

[torpid bay]

otherwise

another integral can be used

$\int_{0}^{N}{H(x-f(u))du - N = f^{-1}(x)$

[fathom swallow]

Yeatte
Compile Error! Click the reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)

[torpid bay]

which works for funcs like 1/1+u^2

[spark vessel]

Interesting

[torpid bay]

let us take the factorial as an example of what we can do to extend this integral

[foggy meadow]

H is the approximation right?

[torpid bay]

H(x) = (sign(x)+1)/2

if we take the standard N to be infinity, and a lower bound of 0, then we get

$\int_{0}^{\infty}{H(x-\Gamma(1+u))du = \Gamma^{-1}(1+x):1<x<\infty$

[fathom swallow]

Yeatte
Compile Error! Click the reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)

[torpid bay]

this can be improved, even if slight

if we instead make the lower bound equal to about 0.46163

where Gamma(1+0.46163) is the local minima

[foggy meadow]

Either way it being x>=1 is like exactly what i had in my note book.

Like crazy.

[torpid bay]

denote M as this constant where Gamma'(1+M) = 0

$\int_{M}^{\infty}{H(x-\Gamma(1+u))du} + M = \Gamma^{-1}(1+x) : \Gamma(1+M) < x < \infty$

[fathom swallow]

Yeatte

[torpid bay]

slight improvement

in general tho

[foggy meadow]

Another fiew hours..

[torpid bay]

$\int_{a}^{N}{H(x-f(u))du} - a = f^{-1}(x): f(a) < x < N$

[fathom swallow]

Yeatte

[torpid bay]

note: that one is for increasing functions

i tihnk just tacking on a -N would work for decresing funcs just like how ot worked the other time

[foggy meadow]

Also H can be other functions that approximate in this case btw.

Cool!

[torpid bay]

I think i did something similar using another dummy function, i used sin(x)/x to get g(x) = f(x) when a < x < b, and 0 otherwise

[foggy meadow]

tanh(N*(blah)) in that original one I wrote works well.

[foggy meadow]

Thanks for the help here!

Yeah, I'm getting an over flow when I put in zeta, SystemException["MemoryAllocationFailure"]

The finite version is interesting, and even though expensive I might have to use it.

[torpid bay]

$\int_{a}^{N}{-H(x-f(u))du}+N=f^{-1}(x):f(N)<x<f(a)$ for decreasing f(x)

[fathom swallow]

Yeatte

[foggy meadow]

Is zeta decreasing?

[torpid bay]

yes

prob want to shift the zeta function a lil

[foggy meadow]

Yeah, that's fine my friend said have fun.
He made is own version of the function that converged super fast with 2^{n}

Sadly he doesn't have it anymore, and I don't think I do either.

[foggy meadow]

Again that big function I wrote should be it, because of -z.

[torpid bay]

i dont even have to shift the zeta

[foggy meadow]

Yep

It's really that simple

[foggy meadow]

It should work with tanh(x) again that approximation is something that works and I found years prior.

[foggy meadow]

I'm going to do more derivatives and see if I can get that -13 closer or better approximated.

I might work it out by hand, but maybe not

[torpid bay]

mm, tanh(x) is a bit off, i tihnk cuz its a smoother sign(x) that some of the contributions that would otherwise be 0 end up messing with the full integral

[foggy meadow]

It needs to be multiplied by a value and limit p towards infinity. My bad sorry.

And if it's more accurate I'll freak out.

[foggy meadow]

also each (-z) on the integral might need a (-1)^{0} ... (-1)^{m}

That's the only extra scauce I could think of?

[torpid bay]

*afk, eating food rn 🥣 *

[foggy meadow]

Cool though it's close af to zero for F[0.5]. neat!

[foggy meadow]

So, if I'm graphing this what am I supposed to put in for Z^{-1} to test stuff?

[torpid bay]

I'm not really sure how ye got the integral thingy, so

[foggy meadow]

That's fair.

It was the original thing I posted about, before you simplified it.

[foggy meadow]

What did you write for zeta?

[foggy meadow]

What do we do now?

[torpid bay]

lemme give you an integral i tihnk is cool

[foggy meadow]

Okay

[torpid bay]

$\frac{\zeta(2)}{\Gamma(y)^2} = \int_{0}^{\infty}{\frac{w}{e^{w\Gamma(y)}-1}dw}$

[fathom swallow]

Yeatte

[foggy meadow]

That is cool!

[torpid bay]

$\int_0^1{\big( \frac{1}{\ln(x)^{a+1}}-\frac{x}{(x-1)^{a+1}}\sum_{n=0}^{a}{\langle {}^a_n \rangle x^{a-n}} \big) dx} = \frac{\gamma}{a!}+\sum_{n=0}^{a}{\zeta(-n)}$

[fathom swallow]

Yeatte

[torpid bay]

at some point the approximation to gamma diverges and gets worse, but i think the best term was like accurate to like 3 decimal places

oh, only 2

rip

[foggy meadow]

Like x<=1?

[torpid bay]

like a being an integer

[foggy meadow]

Are you talking about this function?

[foggy meadow]

That's fine, do you think it's floating point error or?

[torpid bay]

ye

i tohught it was an error, but the true series on the right diverges

the reason it approximates gamma is because the bernoulli numbers get smaller for a few terms, but then they increase and continue increasing with a growth rate like factoria or something

the simplest case of the integral is this

$\int_{0}^{1}{\frac{1}{\ln(y)}-\frac{1}{y-1}dy} = \gamma$

[fathom swallow]

Yeatte

[torpid bay]

you've seen stirling's approximation, right?

have you seen the next level for it?

[foggy meadow]

Probably not.

[torpid bay]

$\lim_{x\to\infty}{\frac{\prod_{n=1}^{x}{n}}{x^{x+\frac{1}{2}}e^{-x}}} = \sqrt{2\pi}$

[fathom swallow]

Yeatte

[foggy meadow]

Crazy.

[torpid bay]

$\lim_{x\to\infty}{\frac{\prod_{n=1}^{x}{n^n}}{x^{\frac{x^2}{2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{1}{12}}e^{-\frac{x^2}{4}}}} = A$

A is the glashier kinkelin constant

[fathom swallow]

Yeatte

[torpid bay]

there's more constants, but desmos rounding error so i could only get about 8 of them

[placid shadow]

Is there any YouTube channel that explains math like Eddie Woo? I feel Eddie Woo teaches students who are encountering a thing for the first time and teaches in a way that is very comprehensible and intuitive.

[magic python]

This place has less madness >~<

[placid shadow]

[torpid bay]

[placid shadow]

i think that sentence was provocative, I don't wanna say something like that if u were wondering

[magic python]

There is a war in main lol

[torpid bay]

I haven't seen a lot of educational side of math youtube, but what I have seen is eigenchris. he has 3 series on math, but they very specific videos, and can sometime lack a bit of detail inregards to notation, but i feel that they explain things well

[placid shadow]

Tysmm

[torpid bay]

That being said, the videos are not wide ranging, so most likely he wont have what you want in terms of topics

[loud oxide]

Could I get someone to solve a linear programming the math problem in code if I bribe them with my world record Snayk 3+ game?

This is definitely years beyond what I know now. X E.

[torpid bay]

I would say math youtube is more so the place where you can get introduced to topics and explained in a hand-wavy way while the details are found in books

high quality animations, but perhaps lacking in rigor/detail sometimes

[placid shadow]

I see, thank you. Actually I've realized this in the past but I just forgot that this was true, thank you for reminding me!

[placid shadow]

That's exactly right.

[loud oxide]

Well sorry I did this. X E.

[placid shadow]

I wish I could help, but I don't know any programming.

[loud oxide]

I can take process explanation. X E.

[placid shadow]

What's that?

[loud oxide]

Like how a process would work logically, like how to multiply. X E.

Should I explain the problem?

[placid shadow]

Sure

[loud oxide]

Given what I know now, all variables are bounded on both sides with >= with constants and of form a+b+c+d+e+f=constant with all being single numbers and known multipliers per each variable and from the original, x, y, and z with x and y being with z multiplying constants in inequalities, x, y, and z are partly or fully in the equation and missing one means plane, two, line or point, three, point, now how to solve this simplest form? I want the x, y, and z of planar extrema, all of them, and all things here are just numbers. There can be no solution. Still no idea how to solve. Carry on. X E.

[placid shadow]

What does bounded and planar extrema mean?

Maybe you can open a help channel?

!help

[quasi jetty]

To ask for mathematics help on this server, please open your own help channel or help thread. See #❓how-to-get-help for instructions.

[loud oxide]

If you know how to solve can you DM so I can save it? bounded like constant>=variable>=constant is bounds. X E.

[placid shadow]

Unfortunately I don't know.

[torpid bay]

just like, slap some linear algebra on that problem and ur good to go

[loud oxide]

In about a year when I know that. X E.

And this is single numbers so no longer linear algebra. X E.

[slow pier]

Hi X E

[loud oxide]

Yeah, asking to have someone else do it for me is banned there. X E.

[placid shadow]

Ah

Well you don't wanna be taught how to do it?

[loud oxide]

I want to be taught sure, but I think this is banned in #help. X E.

[placid shadow]

No, you can totally be taught how to do it in #help.

[loud oxide]

Well, something for tomorrow. X E.

[placid shadow]

Okay! 🩷

[loud oxide]

Well, checking minimums and maximums, should work. X E.

[worthy shell]

lol i remember watching the derivative video

[placid shadow]

ooo, was it good?

[worthy shell]

i first watched it when i barely had started learning trig and was sorta fascinated and confused, then i watched it later and it was very good imo

[placid shadow]

Niceee

[worthy shell]

idk if ive ever seen another person on yt with that sorta "energy". bprp is quite good but he more solves problems than explaining curriculum from scratch for the most part. maybe prof leonard in terms of explanation quality

[placid shadow]

Yeah! I think this is why he does this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R82thNCgBbE

[shell bloom]

hello guys how do I deal with procrastination i got finals coming up, and i only want to study the day before finals

[shrewd mist]

Hello I'm new to the server, I'm not the best at maths but I really want to get better. How do I do it?

[neat lintel]

Well honestly, sometimes I dont study like at all and still get a good score so... idk

[shell bloom]

but i got like 7 classes

[neat lintel]

New here too so no idea

[shell bloom]

go afterschool

[shrewd mist]

Is there any method of specific self study I can use

[neat lintel]

Dangg, if u think they're rly hard, then u should prolly study then

[shell bloom]

what math are u?

[shell bloom]

i wait till the last day

[shrewd mist]

Why?

[shell bloom]

pressures

[shrewd mist]

I'm not sure if that's a good idea

[neat lintel]

Yeah I get

[shell bloom]

i'm just too lazy

that why my grades are on the edge

[shrewd mist]

I can understand that

[shell bloom]

80.00 bouta drop to c

[neat lintel]

U should just eliminate all distractions

[shrewd mist]

That's difficult

[neat lintel]

Focus on ur school work

[neat lintel]

Yeah it is frr

Btw how old are y'all

[shrewd mist]

Something or the other always pulls me away

[shrewd mist]

9th grade

[shell bloom]

im a sophmore

[foggy sandal]

im junior

[shell bloom]

most important year

[foggy sandal]

meowww

[shell bloom]

gotta try hard

[foggy sandal]

how is sophmore most important

[neat lintel]

Ooo same but Im not 14 lol

[shell bloom]

I mean sophomore and junior are

[neat lintel]

First year of Senior high

Idk

[foggy sandal]

oh i see

[shell bloom]

what yall gpa?

[neat lintel]

Gpa??

[noble tinsel]

0.2 i wonder if harvar will accept me

[foggy sandal]

[shell bloom]

prolly if u teached a ant to do calculus

[neat lintel]

Ohh um I've been an A student since 7th tbh

[foggy sandal]

do u guys have percentages

or just letters

[shell bloom]

both

[neat lintel]

Both

[shrewd mist]

Both

[shell bloom]

tbh middle school you don't even need to try at all

[foggy sandal]

yeah true

[neat lintel]

Yeahh

[shrewd mist]

I need to get better at factorization

[shell bloom]

algebra 1?

or 2

[shrewd mist]

2

[shell bloom]

im guess it 2 because you cant learn it in the begining

[neat lintel]

I love factorization 😭 🥹

[shell bloom]

guessing"

well factorization isn't hard

[neat lintel]

Honestly I think 2 is easier than 1 tho

[shell bloom]

are you taking 2?

once you get into the log stuff it get so confusing

[shrewd mist]

I despise congruency

With every cell in my body

[neat lintel]

Im done w 1 and 2... ig

[neat lintel]

Lol

[shell bloom]

u sure bruh?

[shrewd mist]

Whatchu mean " ig "

[shell bloom]

ye

"ig"

[neat lintel]

I guess

[shrewd mist]

" ig I breath air "

[shrewd mist]

ITS A YES OR NO 😭 😭 😭

[neat lintel]

Yeah cuz Im in competition level

[neat lintel]

Idk lol

[neat lintel]

...

[shell bloom]

wut da?

dat

unless you mean honor?

[foggy sandal]

like amc?

[neat lintel]

Whats honor??

[foggy sandal]

what competition

[neat lintel]

Yeaa I just finish Amc10A

[foggy sandal]

nice

[neat lintel]

Like last month

[foggy sandal]

how did u do

[neat lintel]

Lol I got a certificate, tbh I did horribly

But I got my first gold medal in the Singapore Math Contest too

So Yipeee lol

[foggy sandal]

nice

[shell bloom]

so smart

[foggy sandal]

amc is def a lot harder

idk if its worth grinding tho

[shell bloom]

for you college apllication yeah

your

[foggy sandal]

idk

cuz u need to do rly good on it

[shell bloom]

gotta show some outstanding achievement

[foggy sandal]

yeah but that would mean at least usajmo qualifier

[neat lintel]

Lol thx

[shell bloom]

you guys live in singapore?

[neat lintel]

Yea Imma try my luck at Harvard

[shell bloom]

O-O

[neat lintel]

Noo Canada

[shell bloom]

idk about hardvard

[neat lintel]

Mhmm but it wz just 1st round so idk yet

[shell bloom]

you gotta go to africa and teach student there to play instruments

need some crazy acheivement

[neat lintel]

I have a gold medall 😭
Not achievement enough??? 😭😭😭

Loll

[shell bloom]

you need to be a good leader

participating lot lot

[neat lintel]

Im from Africa, just moved here like 6 or 7 months ago

No pun intended

[shell bloom]

actually?

wait that a lie

[neat lintel]

Hmm how??

[shell bloom]

actually from africa?

[neat lintel]

Yeaa lol

[neat lintel]

West Africa

[shell bloom]

I learned some world history

[shrewd mist]

Disappointing

6 or 7 😔

[neat lintel]

Yea and it cold af

[shrewd mist]

?

[shell bloom]

lol not really interested in these things

[shrewd mist]

Neither am I, I'm so tired of these pointless memes

[shell bloom]

yeah

btw no criticizing or judgement

so yeah dw

so yeah i have finals the day after tmr

[neat lintel]

So start studyingggg 😭😭😭

[shell bloom]

im stressing so much

jk

ill do it tmr

i did a bit studying today

do you guys have finals coming up?

[neat lintel]

Ye but next yr lol

[shell bloom]

ur done?

[neat lintel]

Nah, I've 2 major "school" exams coming up

[shell bloom]

bruh i thought u were a freshmen in college

when u said major exam

major final

[neat lintel]

Lol

Im in 9th grade rn

[shell bloom]

how many classes are you taking?

[light gate]

omg pending postgrad

[shell bloom]

lol

[neat lintel]

Like 18 lol

[neat lintel]

Postgrad??

[shell bloom]

well you wish

[neat lintel]

What is that anywayy

[old oak]

This just means they indicated that they want the postgrad role; they have "pending postgrad" while it awaits human review

[neat lintel]

Oooo luv ur pfp btw

Still dont get it but thx anyway

[old oak]

It's a surprised owl

[neat lintel]

Yea I figured lol

[shell bloom]

postgrad is like grad school

[neat lintel]

Like after 12th grade??

[shell bloom]

no

[neat lintel]

😭😭

[shell bloom]

after ur college years if u wanna go for higher

[old oak]

Well, the postgrad role in this server is basically "people who graduated university-level mathematics"; some in further education, some working mathematicians, some elsewhere

[neat lintel]

Ohhhhhhhh so like PhD ??

[shell bloom]

after bachelor

[neat lintel]

Thats niceee

Sry Im rly slow lol

[shell bloom]

so yeah this server is full of smart people

[uneven steppe]

hello

[shell bloom]

all so studious unlike me

dang so smart

[neat lintel]

Ye and its honestly nice to meet sm ppl smarter than me tbh... not bragging 😭

[neat lintel]

Hii

[shell bloom]

@uneven steppe

[uneven steppe]

sup

[shell bloom]

how to get smart

be"

[uneven steppe]

read

that’s all you have to do

And think

[shell bloom]

what happens if im not studious

[uneven steppe]

hmmmm

how do you know you’re not

[shell bloom]

i mean only sometimes

how to stop procrastination

[foggy sandal]

u stop procrastinating

[shell bloom]

i cant

[neat lintel]

Why not

[small dust]

all the girls in this server know is yuri and cat noises

[magic python]

And trans noises >~<

[small dust]

nvm i need to stop typing before i get cancelled

[magic python]

You won't be canceled

Or maybe you will idk

[unkempt moat]

No I do math trust

I just don’t talks about it here

ironically

[ocean harbor]

what kinda math

[magic python]

Proof?

[latent edge]

What maths

[unkempt moat]

whatever my mind wanders to
Mostly NT
I’ve just composed a silly NT paper

[unkempt moat]

@versed jungle will serve as my witness

[shell bloom]

does anybody have tips about studying, I have finals tmr for 7 classes

[versed jungle]

i can confirm that lexi does math

[latent edge]

Oh how nice

[misty surge]

Why do ghost chillies have to taste so good yet be straight up deadly

[shell bloom]

you tried it?

[misty surge]

I grow them! Just chucked some green ones in a burrito and died

[shell bloom]

I don't think the grown ones you have can compare to the real ones

or is it the same

[misty surge]

It's the same, if you want full heat then you wait for them to ripen to bright red but nah I ain't doin that. Don't do drugs, try a ghost chilli instead tho

[shell bloom]

personally i dont like chili that much

probably only the green one's that arent spicy

[misty surge]

Sometimes life needs some spice

nah but if u eat some hot af chillies out there, you will hallucinate

[shell bloom]

do u hallucinate

plus everybody have different immune system

[misty surge]

Only when I'm doing trig

[shell bloom]

well it pretty confusing

im also hallucinating cause there so much stuff to do

final's week is so bad

[misty surge]

I thought it was easy! I was like triangles man, three sides, must be the easiest

[shell bloom]

hell no

[misty surge]

Summer school is crazy, crammed topics, move to completely different stuff each week

[shell bloom]

gotta deal with those log stuff in triangles

[misty surge]

That's next week for me

[shell bloom]

i had summer school lol

i finished geo in 6 weeks

i had a big ahh blister

[shell bloom]

for me it each 2 days or 3

[quasi raven]

Hey one I have a question

[shell bloom]

let see

[quasi raven]

I sent to the wrong chat

I meant to send it to the math discussion

[shell bloom]

k lol

[quasi raven]

#math-discussion

[shell bloom]

go ahead

[quasi raven]

Check it out

[zealous parcel]

@simple reef

[ocean harbor]

step 1: get off discord
step 2: start studying

goodluck on ur finals

[shell bloom]

dw im gonna keep procrastinating lol

ty tho

[ocean harbor]

#❓how-to-get-help

[main terrace]

good luck!

the best method is review content --> practice exam --> review missed content --> practice exam

and continue till you exhaust practice exams!

[shell bloom]

yeah ty lol

[wise bloom]

[true zinc]

Discord has recently (as in in the last 1-2 years) has become absolutely terrible at this

It will randomly drop notifications and message pings

[placid shadow]

it's magic how good it was years ago

[true zinc]

Well they're enshittifying very rapidly so-, I doubt they even care about code quality much anymore and it's all about pleasing the investors by shoving nitro down everyone's throats

[placid shadow]

Yeah, that's an issue with incentives and stuff

Good luck and have fun!

You'll get it!

[jovial ember]

First time I’ve ever seen Akira say something like this

[ocean harbor]

i was being honest

[jovial ember]

I was just saying, I’ve never seen you say anything like that before lol

[ocean harbor]

my fault

[jovial ember]

There’s no fault 😭

I was just surprised

[ocean harbor]

ah fair

[pseudo cairn]

I wish I saw this before my Math paper. This wud hv been a good topic to write on

What’s the topic or concept this is based off?

Which program

[vast wraith]

is this the polynomial (z^2-a^2)^2 for some purely imaginary a ?

are you sure about that?

im not sure what you mean by inverse here

[torpid bay]

floating point error

desmos: this function might approach 9000... or it might suddenly be 3, who knows

[torpid bay]

smh im gonna be using the digamma function again

[timid bronze]

@jagged forge @fresh comet @sonic field Hi

My hiatus is over…

[torpid bay]

also, fun lil thing $\int_{0}^{1}{(\ln(\Gamma(1+a))+a)da} = \ln{\sqrt{\frac{2\pi}{e}}}$

[fathom swallow]

Yeatte

[fresh comet]

welcome back ally

[timid bronze]

Jellyfish needs to wake up and share the invite..

And thx!!

[fresh comet]

how did your exams all go?

[magic python]

:3

[unkempt moat]

Meow

[magic python]

[timid bronze]

There was one calc 3 midterm I got an 89.5 on…

But

That makes up for a bad midterm 2 score.

As for finals though

I think chem went really good

Physics, better than expected

Math fucking SHIT

There was 2 questions where we had to know our half angle double identities or whatever. And because I don’t know many identities, I left it mostly blank…

But idk my scores yet

Wbu

[fresh comet]

well all in all, it sounds like you did quite well

let’s hope math ends up better than expected too

as for me, my numerical methods exam went fairly well and logic went… not as well

[timid bronze]

No, it’s gonna be bad 😭

[fresh comet]

I won’t know about complex analysis for another 1.5 days

I have to write that one in the morning on Friday

[fresh comet]

you don’t know that yet

[timid bronze]

I do because I took the exam.

[timid bronze]

GL

[sonic field]

she don know 😄

[magic python]

We not talking about yuri this time

[pure hollow]

Logic is scawwy

[timid bronze]

DUDE I DO

I don’t like lying to myself

[pure hollow]

Hello ally

[timid bronze]

And I’m not trying to be pessimistic either

[pure hollow]

It's been a while

[timid bronze]

Like I think I’m fine for chem and physics, but math absolutely not

[timid bronze]

HI

[pure hollow]

How are you doing?

[fresh comet]

you say this and then you’re gonna get the exam back and it’s gonna be 20% higher! than you expected

[timid bronze]

So tired
