In Ancient Greece they didn't have a proper scale for graphing things, later introduced by René Descartes and is now known as coordinate graphing, so to visualize parabolas and more complicated 2D shapes they would imagine slices in 3D objects, typically a cone. This is one of the reasons the Greeks are known for their mathematical achievements, as they were one of the first societies to both value mathematicians and to achieve notable abstraction in their math.

This image represents how Greek Mathematicians viewed more complicated 2D shapes, using the cutting of 3D shapes to visualize the concepts so they could figure out equations to represent area and further analyze the shapes. I credited the creation of the modern day graphing system, most typically known as analytical geometry, with René Descartes, but it could also be attributed to Pierre de Fermat, as they founded the concept at the same time. The founding of analytical geometry itself is attributed typically almost 2000 years before in 200 BC by Apollonius of Perga for his work with conics, defined by a plane going through a cone, introducing the very concept I refer to in this post. If you've read this entire description, I thank you. Expect a meme of some form relating to these concepts in the near future, however I will not be the one making it.

You know what one of the biggest tragedies of life is?

How hard it is to truly comprehend mathematics

Every proof is a symphony,

Each seemingly boring homework question a few gentle bars, showing new chord progressions,

Every new field adds a new instrument to the orchestra,

Even the simplest of pieces, 1+1=2, a seemingly simple chord, the first almost all learn,

Has been expanded into an immense tapestry rivalling any masterpiece you care to name,

And so few people understand, not because they can't, but because they weren't shown,

People say they don't like maths and that's okay, but sometimes I feel like they're saying they don't like music because they've only ever been taught to read the written compositions, never actually hearing the piece,

And even for the people who do 'get it' we never really get to hear the piece either! we hear the notes in our heads maybe, but we'll still never hear the composition played,

The opening beat of the boundary conditions,

The first few notes of the givens,

The slow buildup as the realm of the unknown is cut away from bit by bit, possibility being cornered into certainty,

The quickening tempo as one by one variables are confined and defined, faster for each one,

Until finally,

The solution comes with a triumphant crescendo,

Ending with a final farewell note of the simplified form(s) fading slowly out leaving you for a moment to marvel at the piece.

But we don't get to hear a single solitary note

if there's one thing ive learned from my math education it's the ability to judge a textbook by it's cover:

fancy cover with actual picture, fewer than 15 years old, $300: absolute dogshit. time wasting exercises, poor exposition, that weird gloss they put on the pages probably makes it too toxic to use as kindling

title is just name of subject, referred to by author, 50 years old with like 3 editions: excellent. compact proofs, exercises good enough people refer to them by number in conversation. available for free by foraging somewhere they grow naturally

title is some shit like paul's notes, "cover" is just default latex titlepage, distributed as pdf to grad classes or by advisor: best coverage of whatever (usually niche) topic it's about in the world. crystal clear exposition. solutions to exercises available by emailing grad students working under author

As a lesbian i will always relate more to trans women than cishet women. Made to feel disgusting and predatory in women’s spaces? Check. Berated and mocked for our relation to sexuality and womanhood? Check. Hated for our “deviancy from the norm”? Check. Every single essay about womanhood by a trans woman–and especially, especially by trans wlw–has spoken more to me than anything written by a cis straight woman ever could. T*rfs can take that to the bank.
