I owe my life and math degree to desmos.

Instead of putting math departments in the buildings for natural sciences they should put them next to the philosophy department. And then any time a scientist needs some mathematics they have to make a pilgrimage to a different side of the campus.

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.

what’s kinda crazy is that, had filbrick been a better father and raised them in a loving home, the twins probably could’ve actually made a lot of money for the family… stan was never accommodated for while growing up so he never got to demonstrate his smarts (and he is very smart, he taught himself advanced math and shit while building a long-lasting business from scratch, man), and instead he was made to feel more and more worthless, like he had nothing to contribute to the world—the only purpose he was able to find was to always be there for his brother. what was he if he didn’t have a brother to be there for anymore? of course he would eventually lash out over losing ford (and accidentally ruin ford’s project in the process). on the other hand, ford had so much pressure on him that he pushed himself too hard to prove just how smart he was. to prove that he was the best. he needed to hear how smart he was, because what was he if he wasn’t a genius? of course bill’s manipulation worked on him. of course he wanted to make something that could change the world despite the potentially dangerous nature of it, something that would put his name in the history books. his only value was to bring success to his family, and this was how he was going to do it. if stan had been encouraged and supported, he could have used his skills to find success. if ford hadn’t been put under so much pressure, he wouldn’t have needed to turn to a literal demon so he could prove himself. he could’ve focused on the other groundbreaking research he already had in gravity falls. stan probably never would have broken that project in the first place and ford would’ve made it to his dream school, just like filbrick wanted.

This hits doubly hard in applied maths when you actually go to the effort of trying to explain the application so the work is "meaningful" to randoms and then they either don't care about the application at all or ask tons of followups that you know nothing about bc it's not related to your work. Like I just do the differential equations and they are cool and please appreciate my pretty plot 🥺

Explaining a beautiful mathematical concept and the person asks for the real world application like bitch first off the real world application is it makes me personally ecstatic and second it doesn't need one because it's my special little princess concept

No, pure math and applied math are not enemies, in fact they are kissing, sloppy style, squishing boobs together, etc.

Hi i was wondering if youd be okay with people writing fanfiction about your spade pirates sabo au?

I’m perfectly fine with people writing fics for Spade Pirate Sabo AU as long as they credit and do so with the understanding that I already have broad strokes of the AU planned out and their fic might not be canon to whatever I have planned!

That said I love seeing people’s work based on the au so if anybody does write a fic I’d love if they could send it to me so I could read it 🥺

Don’t get me wrong, I love a Steve Harrington that’s boss in a specific subject or something but man I love Genuinely Dumb as Rocks Steve Harrington.

Like, please, he is Dumbass Representation and I need him as such 🥲

Cyberweek 2024 Day Five: Crossover

Pfft, I've been on an AvA kick recently, so I guess it's not too surprising that I chose this. On one hand, this crossover works well in theory. The stick figures are all fast, kinetic learners and really good at demonstrating their earned skills and knowledge.

On the other hand, the sheer tonal dissonance is hilarious.

not smart as in intelligent but smart as in "people use my above average skills in math to deny me support in every other area of life"

Maybe it's cause I'm surrounded by art people all the time but I feel like math as a school subject gets a bad wrap. Like now that I'm not forced to take classes for it, I just start doing it on my own for fun. It gets my brain stimulated. I'm doing calculus like it's a word puzzle; it's a stress reliever and it's rewarding. It's encountering a problem I already know all the steps to even if I've semi-forgotten them. And there's minimal consequences if I get the answer wrong. I think it's fun to go to town with a ballpoint pen on some dirty scrap paper, just letting the scribbly numbers flow.

[why-the-heck-not]

truly my best brain time is in the middle of the night caffeine & sugar rush. I think I just understood math, like some part of the general pattern of math if that makes sense. something clicked somewhere in my brain and I felt it

[rusted-phone-calls]

this applies to every day btw. just Especially today

jiro got a zero on one of his tests and i think it’s crazy to have the middle school dropout be a part of this event LOL

How do you guys like this very convoluted proof of the Pythagorean theorem I just made
