Now more than ever, you should all stop to reconsider what you're discussing. By spewing nonsense, you fail to see that the reason math produces so many gems and visionaries is because math is definitively hard, and has the hardest problems known to man, so men who consistently push themselves to solve adverse problems, will attain a generalizable ability to develop creative solutions to problems with ease as oppose to only dealing with the problems of a regular joe life, people who have been through it develop street smarts and learn how to solve street problems, but you can only see so many street problems, there are thousands of math problems in physics engineering and many other disciplines it is pure beauty!

Groups are old news anyway it’s all about the rings baybe

pale orchid
#

the main body was written unironically by some person around here a few weeks ago. i take some liberties with the intro now and again, though

sleek wing
#

What was the context

pale orchid
#

some person saying math is harder than life or something like that

sleek wing
#

It is

sick burrow
#

On the topic of copypasta though

neat lintel
#

Hey I'm back

pale orchid

it opens with "I think the reason math produces..."

sleek wing

I literally live without even trying

I was wondering why do we use calculator to solve logarithms that end up with a decimal

sick burrow
neat lintel
#

How do you solve them without a calculator?

errant kiln
neat lintel
sleek wing
#

Taylor series of ln(x)

#

Well you’d do ln(x+1) but w/e

neat lintel
#

How would you solve log base 10 of 2 without a calculator?

sleek wing
#

Convert it into natural logs, power series

thorn brook
#

you google "wolframalpha" and paste the question in

#

boom

#

ez

neat lintel
thorn brook
#

I was joking lmao

sleek wing
#

Like youd write it as ln(2)/ln(10)

neat lintel
#

I know but that still requires calculator

sleek wing
#

Power series top and bottom

neat lintel
#

That's change of base formula

sleek wing
#

Which is just a polynomial

#

Plug in the values

neat lintel
#

What's power series top and bottom?

sleek wing
#

Boom

sick burrow
sleek wing
#

Guys what’s the Taylor series of ln(1+x) again

sick burrow
#

thus we can say it's approximately 5

sleek wing
#

1-1/x+2/x^2+...?

sick burrow
#

Or alternatively approximately pi just to meme

neat lintel
#

It's 10^x = 2. log 10 (2) = x

sleek wing
#

Hold on I should really know this

neat lintel
#

That's just an example to show what I meant

sleek wing
#

This is how you’d do it

#

Just compute the polynomial to arbitrary precision

neat lintel
#

I have no idea what that means. What's it called?

sleek wing
#

It’s exactly what your calculator does

#

It’s the Taylor series expansion

thorn brook
#

It's called ln(1-x)

neat lintel
#

Why didn't my dumb teacher teach me that

#

We aren't always going to have a calculator on us

sleek wing
#

Because you don’t need to know it

#

HAHAH ok you’re not going to be doing that in your head

errant kiln
sleek wing
#

Also no one actually cares about the value of logs

neat lintel
#

We don't need to know a lot of stuff they teach in algebra

sleek wing
#

I haven’t computed the value of a log in like 4 years

#

Do not diss algebra I will use words like “irreducible affine algebraic varieties”

sick burrow
#

It has come to my attention that I've forgotten approximately half of calc

#

Foundations has rotted my brain

neat lintel
#

I've learned summation but I forgot

#

I don't remember using infinity

sleek wing
#

You just take the limit as the sum goes to infinity

errant kiln
sleek wing
#

Lol

neat lintel
#

Oh you need to know limits

#

I only know a little

#

I can find the limit on a graph

sleek wing
#

Limits aren’t that bad unless you’re epsilon delta-ing them

#

God I hate analysis

neat lintel
#

I don't know what that is, but I'll be back when I've learned limits

#

Bye

sleek wing
#

Don’t do it analysis is a scam

errant kiln
neat lintel
#

I don't know what that analysis is

#

I haven't learned it yet

last oxide
#

ye
you just "forall open sets" them

sleek wing
#

It’s not abstract alg that’s what’s important

last oxide
neat lintel
#

I don't know what abstract alg is either

sick burrow
#

Cab you do analysis on countable sets?

sleek wing
neat lintel
errant kiln
neat lintel
#

Can I learn that after I learn calculus

sleek wing
#

A group is not a set smh...

vivid halo
#

lmfao awful explanation

sick burrow
#

Probably you'd take linear algebra first

neat lintel
#

I'll learn it after I learn calculus because right now I have to focus on learning calculus

vivid halo
#

yea do that

#

abstract algebra is fun but has nothing to do with calculus and stuff you're learning right now

sick burrow
#

Also why did I get frog sullied for my question

#

About analysis on countable sets

vagrant kestrel
deep mango
#

Frog sullied

neat lintel
#

Bye

sick burrow
#

Can you do analysis on countable sets

vivid halo
#

I mean the answer is no because then it's not analysis

errant kiln
deep mango
#

You can do analysis for on countable sets, but not a lot of it

vivid halo
#

you can certainly say some things about countable, even totally ordered sets sure

sick burrow
#

Like analysis on the set of constructible real numbers or something

vivid halo
#

yea that's bad you don't want to do that lol

deep mango
#

The problem is that nontrivial complete spaces are usually uncountable

#

And you need completeness

vivid halo
#

^

deep mango
#

Metric completeness

fathom swallowBOT
#

You don't have the required permissions to ban members here!

deep mango
#

Sniped

sick burrow
#

Ok right then

#

So I can say that analysis is a mistake built on the lie that is uncountable sets

deep mango
#

Countable complete metric spaces are probably more interesting than I'm giving them credit

vivid halo
#

ugh

deep mango
#

But they're gonna have a lot of isolated points

#

Well

#

A convergent sequence

#

With its limit

#

And then you can imagine sequences with lots of limit points

#

But they just need to be somewhat spread out

#

Idk if the limit set needs to be discrete

#

No, certainly not

#

You can do something where a bunch of points in R^2 converge to all the (1/n, 0)'s from above

#

Like

#

These are nontrivial spaces even if they aren't perfect (every point is a limit point)

#

I wonder if you can construct a countable metric space where iterating the operation of taking sets of limit points never terminates

#

I think you could

#

With this example, the set of limit points is (1/n, 0) and the set of limit points of limit points is just 0

#

You cant do this construction infinite dimensionally without getting uncountable

#

But

#

Maybe there's another construction

#

The point being, what you care about in analysis is the set of limit points

#

So if eventually no point is actually a limit point (after peeling off everything that's irrelevant over and over)

#

Then it is not something worth doing analysis on

#

Actually wait, it does work

#

You just take the countable union of all these sets

#

They're finite sequences of reciprocal integers

sleek wing
#

If something’s not worth doing analysis on it’s usually worth doing algebra on 🥴

deep mango
#

So I think there are interesting countable metric spaces

sleek wing
#

Anyway enough of this low level chit-chat, I’ll see you all in #help-0

deep mango
#

Aw shoot this is not complete for any reasonable metric is it

yo

im not tryna complain or nothing im just curious about what i can do

#

like i dont know if its the case but no helper has had the time to help me with my questions in #help-1 and ive pinged the helpers roll already

#

like whats the protocol here if i still want help

vivid halo
#

the protocol is to think about it yourself

neat lintel
#

i did

#

i got answers that i think are correct @vivid halo

#

i just need confirmation/verfication

wet stratus
#

Is there a system that 'tallies' contribution (some servers have bots that count the amount of thanks they've been tagged with, for example) or is that not something that's being done here

sharp mulch
#

Nothing here of that sort, however I think something is in the works?

#

Maybe mniip can comment further

Given that mniip is the lead bot developer

I have to go in to jury duty tomorrow :(

bronze pelican

Unbased

pure sun
#

i've been called once before when i was in college but I was able to get out of it then

#

because I was a student

#

but sadly not this time :(

sharp mulch
#

I got 3 jury summons during undergrad

pure sun
#

oof

#

unlucky

sharp mulch
#

I didn't go to any of them

#

I got out of one by changing address

#

I think the next one I ignored

pure sun
#

hahaha

sharp mulch
#

And then the last one I will get out of by changing address again

pure sun
#

p sure that's illegal

sharp mulch
#

Is it

#

These change of addresses are legitimate

#

I've moved out of Berkeley

pure sun
#

sadly i dont know what the case will be

#

it might not even be a single case

#

it might end up being for a grand jury

sleek wing
#

@ mods!! @ mods!!! ban them they skipped judy duty!

sharp mulch
pure sun
#

which would be 3 days a week for 3 months

sharp mulch
#

Oh my

pure sun
#

which would be shit

#

yeah...

sleek wing
#

jesus 3 days for months

#

imagine if you had to work to support yourself and then they make you do that

pure sun
#

what's also crazy is that you only get paid $18/day

sleek wing
#

I'm surprised you get paid at all

pure sun
#

and your employer doesnt have to pay you for work days missed

umbral oxide
#

jury duty is a bunch of bs

sharp mulch
#

Oh my

pure sun
#

because they dont provide lunches

sleek wing
pure sun
#

it depends on the state slim

umbral oxide
#

like you have a million things to do

pure sun
#

in my state you can get excused for that reason

#

but in others you can't

umbral oxide
#

and the thing thats on your priority list is to go to a fqking court?

pure sun
#

hahaha

sleek wing
#

that's a good one

pure sun
#

nobody is arguing against that greatbonk

sleek wing
#

mr bonk is just venting their frustrations

pure sun
#

i think most people agree it sucks

#

i'm just hoping i don't get chosen for some reason

umbral oxide
#

you have to be an A grade patriot in order to think it means something

#

but you are right

#

even my profs hate it

#

they avoid it somehow

pure sun
#

"even my profs"?

#

lmao did you expect they would like it?

umbral oxide
#

well

#

no

#

they also agree that it makes no sense

pure sun
#

why would you think they wouldn't?

#

nvm it doesnt matter

umbral oxide
#

also the incentive sucks too

#

i think profs in my school earn around 50-60 dollars per hour

#

maybe

#

what do they get our of jury duty?

#

the compensation does not even cover what they get at their jobs

boreal sage
#

It's a civic duty but it still sucks coconuts

sharp mulch
#

They get to ensure that the judicial system isn't falling apart

umbral oxide
#

civic duty isnt a good excuse imo

#

but some people live by that statement

bronze pelican
boreal sage
#

If it was compensated properly then I think civic duty would be a fine excuse

Hilbert space stuff

umbral oxide

kind of a serious question if you were a student before

you got a lot of them

is having a uniformly convergent subsequence going to the pointwise limit enough for convergence

deep mango
#

cooma is probably correct

deep mango
#

oh

last oxide
#

uniform

#

sorry
I forgot a word

deep mango
#

uniformly convergent subsequence, pointwise convergent sequence, you want to conclude uniformly convergent sequence?

last oxide
#

Im not sure if it is true hmm

#

but ye

deep mango
#

just interleave one uniformly convergent sequence and another nonuniform pointwise convergent sequence with the same limit

#

and that makes it false

#

interleave like even terms are from one sequence, odd terms are from the other

last oxide
#

oh

#

ye
I see

#

that makes sense

the same way youd do if it didnt have pointwise limit at all

when you are monosexual

modest rune

sorry maybe if i clarify the source of this it will make what im getting at more obvious ryc

there was a survey

where 5% of academics said they wouldn't want to hire someone who is homosexual

deep mango

sorry i don't mean to say you

i mean people who engage in bi erasure

modest rune

but 6% would not hire a bisexual

so apparently

wait what

there is some extra 1% that just like

really hate bisexuals

modest rune
#

that falls under the way more horrifying

category

deep mango
#

reminder that P(A or B) < P(A), so actually less bisexuals experience discrimination even though the percentage is larger

last oxide
#

if thats n=159 thats like 1 person right?

blazing pawn

its academia specifically

#

im sure its higher among the general population

vagrant kestrel

it's 2 fryctal

azure kettle
# blazing pawn >transgender >20%

transgendered people are really demonized nowadays, a lot of people have moved on from hating gay people to the next more socially accepted group to hate

modest rune
#

@deep mango my assumption reading this image is that almost everyone who is anti-homosexual is anti-bisexual but the extra 1% is only anti-bisexual

blazing pawn
#

Its interesting that its so high among evangelical and fundamentalists but also not necessarily surprising

modest rune
#

which isn't proven obviously

blazing pawn
#

But I imagine the overlap of evangelists trying to go into academia is already very small

deep mango
#

idk

modest rune
blazing pawn
#

its also dumb that "jewish" is just one category

last oxide
#

its kind of a bit ill-defined too
"slight or strong unwillingness"

modest rune
deep mango
#

they don't

last oxide
#

Id probably have a slight unwillingness to hire most people

blazing pawn

I mean if youre talking about academics im sure theres more prejudice against hiring a haredi person than someone like me

deep mango
#

i'm unwilling to hire any of you

blazing pawn
#

Especially wrt employment

velvet dagger
#

They write Jewish for the people who don't know the word semite

how do i convince peter to make an REU discord

discord is basically the default communication platform for a large portion of gen z (from what I've seen at least)

I don't think you've tasted 97 percent chocolate before

I like 95-97

deep mango

i have eaten a lot of 97% chocolate

i have eaten some 99.9% chocolate (or whatever the super high one is)

#

that's actually like eating dirt

the only way you can describe the taste is "earthen"

umbral oxide

I don't think 3 percent makes a difference

it's like 30x as much sugar/milk

that's a big difference

80 percent or bust

70-75 is prolly my favourite

this is the one i've had

I don't like white "chocolate"

That's just a sugar bar

It's literally just sugar and fat one of the most addictive substances

And you can't taste anything after eating it

The reaper does not taste as good as a naga pepper though

Actually peppers developed capsceascin

To prevent the development of bacteria

That makes them sick

Birds and insects are immune to capsceascin

@dull salmon basically my spouse was supposed to be guaranteed a spot at a university as part of an honors transfer agreement from community college

#

She filled out everything she needed, did what she was supposed to and got waitlisted

#

Took 2 weeks of leg work to fix the mistake

#

I took Calc 1 after calc 3 and linear algebra, so they tried to deny me my associate's

#

Because UC Irvine said they wouldn't accept me if I didn't take Calc 1

#

Since I never had AP Calc, and my first math class in college was Calc 1&2 Honors

also presumably you can't do a good job of hiding the exam when ur under a time limit

this corona thing seems to have skewed perception on what cheating is

because so many people work together on exams anyways now and they seem to think its normal
