maths is kind of like bashing your head against a wall for hours trying to smash a hole in it and then you walk backwards a little bit and realise it was actually a door the whole time

Fun scary fact: Let g: ℝ→ℝ be given by g(x)=x if x∈ℚ and g(x)=0 if x∉ℚ. Then the function f: ℝ->ℝ given by f(x)=g(x)tan(x) is differentiable at x=0. In fact it is only differentiable at x=0

Oh, cool, ln makes e in polar coordinates

Let S be a bounded, convex, compact, well-defined set, tightly compressed, seasoned, smoked, strictly marinated, and covered with a layer of Worcestershire sauce. Then S is homeomorphic to any well-made dish.

90% of mathematical analysis is trying to come up with an annoying sequence with some asinine property

2⁸²⁵⁸⁹⁹³³-1 is about to be dethroned as the largest mersenne prime and you don't even care.

After a week of checking and some 6 years of waiting, we have finally found a new largest prime!!! This modest number is given by

p = 2^{136279841} - 1

and has more than 40 million digits! This was, of course, found by GIMPS.

Pretty sure you're just referring to dutch

Bro they still talk like that over in lith bro. yeah they still talk like that over in lith it's wild bro, they're still dropping nominatives and genitives over there and shit like the horse guys used to over in lith bro its wild bro

Invent a whiteboard that uses black chalk.

fixed bug where everywhere smooth functions could fail to be analytic

added clopen balls as a beta feature. Note: these currently fail to be clopen in infinite dimensional normed spaces

new topological invariant, zoinkness

you've been waiting a while for a new maths update - and it's finally here!

improvements include:

in gender selection screen, added "sumtraction" option

fixed bug where positive divergent sums evaluated to negative numbers

added new 2-dimensional version of off-by-1 errors - off-by-[1,1]

changed the discrete maths server to a PvP zone (note: computer science is still PvNP)

the category theory DLC is now (co)free!

to prevent confusion with function graphs, all voiced lines pronounce "graph theory" with a soft g

fixed "vacuously true" glitch

integrals can now disobey fundamental theorem of calculus when unhappy. they become happy again if fed logarithmic functions

hyperbolic geometry no longer exaggerates as a rhetorical device (note: spherical geometry left the same as before)

rebalanced primes so that 4k+1's and 4k+3's alternate in Thue-Morse pattern. added an uncomputable 4k+2 prime

hot combinatorial games now distribute their temperature according to the laws of thermodynamics; cold games are now superconductive

added demo of "finitist hardcore" gamemode. as of now only two levels are available

subtraction is now associative

recursion is now recursive

added a nontrivial linear, associative, commutative binary operation on the positive reals, over which addition is distributive

exponentiated liner logic, so that additive logic is multiplicative and multiplicative logic is exponential

fixed "negative probability" glitch

redesigned the Tits Building and the Cox-Zucker Machine

fixed trigonometry

increased hitboxes for infinitesimals

added lootboxes
