I would be so fucking good at coding if I didn't have cptsd

if I had any kind of artistic prowess, I’d draw Clark with a mild ‘I’m about to wreck shop’ smile, grabbing at his hair, glasses halfway down his nose while helping Jon and Damian with their math homework.

Ok so suppose you have a torsion free group, G. That is, there's no g such that g^n=e the identity. That's fine right.

Now take a field, k, of characteristic 0, so something like the rationals, reals, complex numbers, that sort of thing.

We can form the group ring k[G], by saying the elements are of the form k_1g_1 + ... + k_ng_n where k_i are in the field and g_n are in the group. Essentially these are like polynomials in as many variables as there are elements of the group. Add an multiply like polynomials, except, when you multiply, you also do the multiplication in the group.

This sort of thing comes up a bunch in representation theory, they're well studied objects.

In general, it's not known that these have no zero divisors. That is, are there elements f,g of the group ring such that fg=0? Which is fucked up imo. It sounds obvious that they shouldn't have zero divisors like where would they come from. And yet.

It's hilarious how naruto has chemistry with almost every character in that show except hinata

THATS NOT WHAT I SAID I wanted to make sure the fact that it's COMMUTATIVE was in the FRONT OF YOUR MIND because it's ALWAYS SUPPOSED TO BE

mira will be explaining a concept from her calc 3 homework to me and say spme shit like "wait so you know how multiplication works right?"

i love being in engineering because valentine's day is always just a regular day because you can't have couples if everyone's scared to talk to everyone else

[alanaheloisa]

this is how i felt after just barely passing my math midterm by the way

[sweetheartdaytonababy]

okay but he doesn’t understand how hard that is :(

i’m gonna laugh my way through algebra <3

GUYS AWESOME NEWS. hello to every mutual or follower I have gained since I was in math class that followed me for some fandom you're about to see the real me😭😭 MY FRIEND is retaking calculus this semester and I'm gonna hold her hand through it and I'm SOOOO EXCITED. I love calc so much it gets more fun every time I come back to it and I haven't taken a math class in TOOO LONG (less than a year) I'm going out my mind rn. I'm hoping to take linear algebra next semester also btw which I have been psyched for for almost THREE YEARS so will update on that as I make my progress. if its not linear algebra it'll be retaking the physics class I LOVED that I bombed because I wasn't properly diagnosed or on medication or in therapy or literally anything. anyways this is my post to say that I'll still be on all my other bs but if I'm lucky it's gonna get real mathematical in here again quite soon

soketimes im like ohhhhhh I love trig trig is sooo great she's my best friend and then other times I want to fucking slaughter her

[aefensteorrra]

next year I'd like to learn more maths !

[placeofwonder]

holy SHIT I guess I passed maths for computer science

[astros-silly-place]

putting the randy drawing on the fridge btw. sticky note randy is on the fridge now btw

really ???!!?!?&!!&! Yes!!!!
