hey! I'm a 4th year math undergrad in the States and I am astounded by your knowledge of algebra. it's my favorite branch of math and I know a lot more than my peers but not nearly as much as you. where did you learn? any textbook recommendations?

keep up the great mathematics and posts!

haha, well, I don't know that much algebra to be honest (me using a fancy word in a joke means i have heard of it before, not that I actually know how to work with it!)

But yknow I could give out some resources, so here they are (so far I have mostly learned from classes but yknow i'm at that point where i'm starting to need to transition from listening to someone ramble to reading someone's ramblings and then rambling myself)

For basic linear algebra I didn't learn through a textbook, but I have heard good things about Sheldon Axler's Linear Algebra Done Right and it seems similar to what the classes I had did (besides the whole hating on determinants part, though I kinda get it).

For some introductory group theory, I also had a class on it, but the lecture notes are wonderful. I would happily give the link to them here but since they're specifically the lecture notes of the class from my uni I would be kinda doxxing myself. Also they're in French. I will give out some of the references my prof gave in the bibliography of the lecture notes (I have not read them, pardon me if they're actually terrible and shot your dog): FInite Groups, an Introduction by Serre (pdf link), Linear Representations of Finite Groups also by Serre (pdf link), Algebra by Serge Lang (pdf link). Since our prof is a number theorist he sometimes went on number theory tangents and for that there's Serre's A Course in Arithmetic (pdf link). I'm starting to think our prof likes how Serre writes.

For pure category theory and homological algebra I have read part of these lecture notes. I think a good book for category theory is Emily Riehl's Category Theory in Context (pdf link). For homological algebra, a famous book that I have read some parts of is Weibel's An Introduction to Homological Algebra (pdf link). Warning: all pdfs I found of it on the internet all have some typographygore going on. If anyone knows of a good pdf please tell me.

For commutative algebra, A Term of Commutative Algebra by Altman and Kleinman (pdf link). I haven't read all of it (I intend to read more as I need more CA) but the parts of it I read are good. It also has solutions to the exercises which is neat.

For algebraic geometry (admittedly not fully algebra), I am currently reading Ravi Vakil's The Rising Sea, and I intend on getting a physical copy when it gets published because I like it. It tries to have few prerequisites, so for instance it has chapters on category theory and sheaf theory (though I don't claim it is the best place to learn category theory).

For algebraic topology (even less fully algebra, but yknow), I have learned singular cohomology and some other stuff using Hatcher. I know some people despise the book (and I get where they're coming from). For "basic" algebraic topology i.e. the fundamental group and singular homology I have learned through a class and by reading Topologie Algébrique by Félix and Tanré (pdf link). The book is very good but only in French AFAIK.

For (basic) homotopy theory (does it count as algebra? not fully but what you gonna do this is my post) I have read the first part of Bruno Vallette's lecture notes. I don't know if they're that good. Now I'm reading a bit of obstruction theory from Davis and Kirk's Lecture Notes in Algebraic Topology (pdf link) and I like it a lot! The only frustrating part is when you want to learn one specific thing and find they left it as a "Project", but apart from that I like how they write. It also has exercises within the text which I appreciate.

For pure sheaf theory, a friend recommended me Torsten Wedhorn's Manifolds, Sheaves and Cohomology, specifically chapter 3 (which is, you guessed it, the chapter on sheaves). I only read chapter 3, and I think it was alright (maybe a bit dry). I also gave up at the inverse image sheaf because I can only tolerate so much pure sheaf theory. I will come back to it when I need it. The whole book itself actually does differential geometry, but using the language of modern geometry i.e. locally ringed spaces. I have no idea how good it is at that or how good this POV is in general, read at your own risk.

Also please note I have not fully read through any of these references, but I don't think you're supposed to read every math book you ever touch cover to cover.

thanks for the kind comments, and I hope at least one of the things above may be helpful to you!

it's like. everything happens so much. it's all happening right now but at the same time nothing is happening whatsoever. it's a liminal space of an existence. it's slowly crushing me under the weight but when I look up there's nothing actually bearing down on me. there shouldn't be any weight. something is wrong but nothing has happened. I'm simultaneously overwhelmed and utterly bored. nothing is happening and maybe that's the everything that's happening. maybe the everything is the nothing. we aren't there yet but it's all so imminent. either everything is going to crash down or nothing is. I'm just waiting to figure out which.

#I refuse to be upset at anyone. I have so much love in my heart #but I'm going to pack formal clothes for my sister in my own bag just in case. she doesn't need to know that.#you couldn't pay me to care or to stop caring. it's cognitive dissonance #because I know this won't always affect me but it's my whole world right now #I say I don't care and I mean it but at the same time I care more than anything else #it's actually almost scary how much I relate to dark alley #not in a ''I'm in a mentally dark or dangerous place'' way but in a ''yeah I compare myself to others too much'' way #and then I try to make excuses so it can make sense to other people so they won't think the worst of me #like literally I'm trying not to think about fall but it's right around the corner and I'm. falling into it I guess #pun intended of course. I don't want to lose all my friends #I want to be one of the kids who gets invited to people's houses for lunch after church and I know I never will be #because that's the kind of thing that's only for the kids who are going someplace. not the ones who stay #I'm feeling very selfish and it's probably bc I'm tired lol this happens sometimes #I'm gonna make dinner for my family and then I'll feel better skskskskk #Lu rambles #sometimes I think I could write poetry #I feel like once my vacation is actually imminent I'll feel better I just haaate the point we're at right now #which is like. it's SOON but not THAT SOON so I feel like I can't do anything bc I'm just waiting for things to get going :/

god it's so nice to be doing art again

#🔪.text #i know i keep saying this but #god.#it really really is #and i'm ENJOYING it #which i know i already rambled about that but #for a while art had become something that just felt like a chore #something i HAD to do #and a lot of times i would get frustrated #i'd spend forever on this one section and never feel satisfied #even when the art was good i would end up not liking it #not because i thought the art itself was bad #but because it didn't turn out the way i wanted it to or because it was so frustrating to do that i just couldn't enjoy the final product #i'm not feeling any of that now #i'm just feeling happiness and excitement #art is actually bringing me pleasure again. it's fun for me again #and tbh i'm feeling a little emotional about it #i am back to how my relationship with art used to be as a kid #it was Fun #i think i'm going to try to go to how i was back then and just draw whatever #not wait for some idea #just. hey i wanna draw this character. so i'm gonna draw them doing whatever #it doesn't matter. i'm just drawing them because i want to. there doesn't have to be any other purpose #i miss how often i used to draw and how i used to just draw random things #i want to go back to that.#because that is where i found joy in art #obviously i won't be drawing THAT much because of my wrists #but the point still stands that i want to draw more in general #i don't need to draw big pieces every time #i can just doodle them if i want to

#🤓posting #I need to seriously start though bc this is due tomorrow and I have to make a physical zine (for the first time ever)#because I decided to commit to that for some reason 😭#procrstinated so hard that I painted THREE layers of nail polish (I am usually very lazy with it. so)#and waited for it to dry all the way and everything LMAO #sorry for all the school posting lately I have had a very stressful week lolol #I will be done with projects after Monday and then on spring break the next week so yay #and my transient school is on spring break rn #but I'm moving soon (not out of town yet; my mom is moving houses down the street actually haha) so I'll be busy with that #also why do I keep getting ed tumblr (idk if it has a specific community name or whatever) tags recommended when I type in tags 😭#every time I start a tag with 'I want' or 'I need' I get these tags recommended..... I don't want to have to block all of them UGH #I actually don't think I have any filtered tags rn #anyway sorry for the ramble I'm gonna go work.... not now but soon lol. byeeee

Me vs the instinct to chug

#yall dont understand #i am not even drunk right now but i look at my beer and thing “yeah i should down that in one go”#anyway i just thought that was funny #I'm on vacation im allowed to drink gotta remind myself of that #im gonna ramble about my irl friends now bc they think this is funny that i of all people do this #so a couple guys in my year of my program are frat guys which means drinking games at parties like beer pong #we play this one game where you have to bounce the ping pong ball into the cups its called stack cup and i am very bad at it #but when you lose you are supposed to drink from what they call the 'bitch cup' which is just a little bit of every alcohol in the house #mixed together and most time we have an architecture party i drink enough to play the games and think ive gotta do things when my friends #say i don't actually have to this applies ten fold to when i lose stack cup and am faced with the bitch cup they say 'you dont have to drin #that paige' and i go all in and CHUG THAT THING usually its not even that gross because it's mostly bud light and some fruit flavored stuff #anyway thanks for coming to paige is your resource for fanfic writers that dont know what its like to drink or be drunk #they usually take the cup from me when i do that too

I don't really know how to describe the feeling? FOMO somehow, maybe? I don't like it though.

It's like when there's two or three popular anime series and everyone is only talking about them and you just sit there after giving them a try like, "yeah, okay I see the appeal but... *munches on some popcorn while rewatching an anime from 10 years ago*"

I don't hate the series that this applies to. I kinda feel like maybe I just don't get it? I have felt this way even in middle school about books.

This is more about experiences outside of tumblr.

#{domino rambles after dark}#that post about how saturated each season is these days and there's no time to watch them all or enjoy them or remember them?#and you have THAT MUCH being aired throughout the year just to only see talk or hype about maybe 5 tops?#again outside of tumblr if i can easily control what i see then it doesn't count #bsd s5? only see it here #a lot of the hype this season is jjk and i get it! i enjoyed s1 and it got me actually watching anime again! but also ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌#i don't have that much interest is s2 and so somehow it's like watching out the window while everyone is having fun #am i also having fun? yes! but still...#that's my 5:30 AM two cents because i was starting to fall asleep #since i am at work falling asleep would be bad #after work i guess i'm gonna go to the stupid store and get some ingredients for ice cream #i wanna make ice cream i have a theory and want to prove it right #it's getting exhausting have to stop periodically to recap a book because i then have to remember the important plot details #when i'm distracted by my love of the character interactions and development #i worked 4 nights in a row and have somehow only read 1.5 books partially due to that #it's fun! but i also lose interest quickly that way #this is when i would like to say 'okay that's enough i'm going to sleep' but alas (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)#this is also primpted by apparently the ceo of mappa saying yuri on ice didn't bring them enough money #but simultaneously not conforming whether the movie is actually being worked on or just canned.#okay now i will shut up because i think this is a lot for the tags to handle

I just loved waiting weeks for an appointment in an official health government center, to get screened for cancers, endometriosis, other seriously physical issues etc

And i leave 3 hours later being told to go play board games at the public library, take walks outside, and a coupon for a teeth check up

#no I'm not fucking joking #a lot more bullshit happened #some of it being the doctor being super rude to me. and when i snapped back instead of rolling over. she started taking to my mother as if #wasn't literally standing in front. and talking to her. AND she talked about me to her like i was a fucking rabid stray fog #no. again. i am NOT joking or exaggerating #my mother lost a whole morning of work and is now late for the afternoon because she had to drive me an hour away to that place #and when i started crying because we lost so much goddamn money and time. and wtf is board games gonna do for my undiagnosed endometriosis #and amnesia #she got angry at me about them. and i quote “not gonna rip out your uterus right here like you want”#yes she actually said “rip out”#and when i said that i never said that?? hell i never even asked them to do any treatment for my endometriosis. i wanted them to CHECK to #finally get the diagnosis. she *pushed down* saying that *yes* i said that #not the only time in the 30 minutes we spent together that she said that i did/said something i didn't. and when i obviously objected. she #doubled down about how. Actually. I did #my mother was genuinely so fucking shocked when we left the office. and the doc told her that i needed to go do. fucking. board games #should have fucking checked the star ranking before #but i didn't think to. after all. it's a fucking government center #but nope #it littleraly has THE biggest number of one star I've ever seen a place have #seems like multiple people fucking died before they got any help from them #whether actual help. or even a singular cent for financial aid #I'm so so so goddamn fucking tired #any french reading this. check the avis of your cpam #don't make the same mistake #this is only a chunk of all the bs that happened in less than 3 hours #HB rambles #vent #endometriosis #cfs/me #pots syndrome

#tag talk #idk. I'm thinking about therapy now. it's really based on the self report model which means that it's weakness is #is a patient who cannot accurately self report their own internal world. emotions. and thoughts.#which. when you have a pervasive need to lie about yourself. to mask. to retell the truth to fit your own narrative. that's kind of an issu #my second (and by far least favorite therapist) refused to ever actually engage in dialogue with me. she simply sat back and watched/listen #which left me simply spinning in place. running through every stupid social trick I knew just to find a direction to take things.#I'm gonna break away from that thought because there's a more pressing thing in my head right now.#are you familiar with the fear that comes with being seen and recognized? the realization that you're no longer cloaked by anonymity?#I'm feeling that a little here with these tag talks. I used to be confidently ignored and left alone to ramble on my own #and that's changed a little bit. not immensely. y'all are still politely ignoring these generally. but.. idk #I crave intimacy and dialogue and social interaction but simultaneously it's terrifying.#I so deeply want connection but the pressure and expectation that comes with it is genuinely frightening to me.#I really don't know how people do it. the only solid relationships in my life are with people who are fundamentally detached from me.#ugh I want to finish this thought but letting it dwell in my head really hurts. do I push through it or do I leave off here?#fuck it I'm gonna force my way through. I'm not giving up here.#I'm scared. that's it. I'm scared. scared people are going to see me. scared people will talk to me. but I want that!#I want to be seen. to be known. to be recognized. it's that deep seated human social drive that I can't escape. it's so fucking stupid.#idk. I've decided that if I ever top 100 followers I'm gonna just up and move blogs. start fresh and start over.#I'm not Super close to that but I'm reasonably close (not giving you a percentage because that's just.. my actual follower count)#it feels like tumblr etiquette to not publicly state your follower count. and idk. I actively don't want followers.#I want my isolated conclave with comfortable faces and familiar blogs. people are scary so I necessarily don't want too many around #damn I got way off topic. what the fuck was I talking about? I was onto something heavy before I lost track #ugh maybe I need to take a break from tumblr for a while. my queue has been running at full for a while and it's stressing me out.#I'm on here too much spinning and spinning and spinning with no traction.#I need to take these new thoughts and feelings and really just get out and experiment with them. stop just running on my hamster wheel #I think if I can get dms dealt with in the next few days I can just delete tumblr off my phone and take a sabbatical #it's been a while since I took a real break from here. it would be nice I think.#I just.. I don't like feeling like I'm talking to a person. I don't like feeling like these are going to be seen #and that's not your fault! I'm literally hitting the “Post” button. that's my choice to put these out semi-publicly #I don't want to ever put that responsibility on someone else when it's my own choice to make myself visible.

describing my college experience as "interesting" in my personal statement even though i know that doesn't even begin to cover it

#by interesting i mean having to do an extra two years after i almost got thrown out after one of my lecturers refused to make reasonable #accommodations which is actually illegal but oh well it was two years ago now a bit late to really do anything isn't it so now i already #have two a-levels and am gonna be finishing an extended diploma this academic year so hopefully my stack of qualifications means i'l get #some nicer offers from some of these universities because if not i'm gonna end up on the news #also my current lecturers are telling us to let our personalities show in our personal statements but i really don't think the russell grou #i am Desperate to have let me in will want to see too much of that so i am holding back a bit because of that and also i tend to ramble a #lot (if you couldn't tell lol) so need to make sure i don't talk too much about kinda irrelevant stuff so i can get in all the bits that #need to go in

oh no. please no. no...

#ash rambles 💚#so.. there's a character. it's from a very small series that consumed my life 3-4 years ago. i actually shipped with a character from it #if you scroll back a few years you'll find my posts about him. but i lost feelings and moved on with my life. it's a small series of movies #that no one really knows. but i latched onto it hard as a lonely teen. my love faded though and i moved on with my life. i moved on.#but #i #there's this other character #was he always so.....#i. i thought i was over this. i don't wanna go back to watching that undeniably mid ass series ahjdkwhdj #I'm so glad i had no friends back then because i was so annoying about it LMAAOO #my obsession with it was worse than with y.akuza. and that's saying something.#but i. i havent been able to stop thinking about this one character. it would be insanely embarrassing if i developed a crush literal years #after moving on from a series #and if i do develop a crush i probably won't post much about him #that being said. the ost of the series is super good and I've never stopped listening to it. his theme song is a BANGER #i can't tell if i have a crush or if i really like his theme #... oh who am i kidding. you have any idea how many times I've thought about making out with him when his brother isn't home?#ugh #please god no #not another crush from this fucking series...

Alright boys pack it up no more rain world posting new oni dlc is coming out in less than a week

#rat rambles #oni posting #rain posting #I jest I will probably still be posing some rain world stuff if I get around to designing more guys #but I can already feel the oni brain coming back and am half tempted to do one last comb through the files even tho I know itll be #pointless because the full dlc will be at my fingertips very soon #to be clear I 100% will be combing through the data of the full release too but thats a given #calvin my boy pls make it in pls don't get scrapped pls my boy #oh now that we're getting close Im gonna let myself talk abt this just this once but if you care abt potential spoilers stop reading #anyways so last I checked where the duplicant descriptions and stuff is stored there was an additional new duplicant named calvin #now I wasnt able to find anything else referencing him from my admittedly not super deep digging but he was there #I did thoroughly look through the spritesheets tho and hes definitely not there from what I could yell #or at least he wasnt when I checked idk maybe they put him in during one of the patches for some reason #but yeah I hope he makes it in despite all the specific advertising of them adding one new duplicant #its actually these descriptors that have been making me not wanna talk abt calvin dupe too openly as if he does make it in its probably #going to be a pretty big spoiler for a bit?#ofc if he is a secret of sorts then he wont be for long but if he is meant to be a surprise I don't wanna scream on the rooftop abt it #but I do wanna have proof that I found him before hand it he is a surprise I need to feel cool and special for looking at one file <3 #yknow what I think I actually am going to pop open oni and tripple check that I'm not missing anything #I was playing rw a lot to cope with the dlc not being fully out but at this point Ive finished every campaign except saints #and saints is being a buggy bastard for me rn and keeps repeatedly softlocking me so Im giving up on it for now #like just this morning I did the entirety of the hunter campaign in like 2 hours I have so little left to do #if I do decide to replay a campaign tho it's probably going to be either gourmands or spearmasters since theyre my favorites to play as #idc what anyone says Ill always preffer the spearmasters story to rivulets I adore them both but ppl do not appreciate spearmaster enough #like every person Ive seen play it sees the ending as disappointing and I wont stand for it its high-key my favorite ending #now thats entirely because Im a moon enjoyer and a tragedy enjoyer but still I will always lose my mind over moon's final message

GUESS WHO JUST MADE HIS FIRST HRT APPOINTMENT!!!!

#IT'S IN JUNE AND I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW #I'LL BE ABLE TO GO ON T THIS YEAR !!!!!#if everything works out obviously but i'm really optimistic #and the doctors i got recommended by my therapist are apparently really good and usually don't need more than one appointment to agree #so like !!!#i think as far as i know this is like the first appointment which i mainly made to calm my parents #and he's not allowed to actually prescribe me T but can then give me a proper recommendation to someone who can #now i could have gone to someone who could immediately prescribe it to me but yk i do wanna go the safe route #and while i am super excited about taking T it's not like an emergency situation yk?#it's fine for me to wait a bit especially since i'm currently stressed because of exams anyways #but yeah!!!! i did it! i made an appointment!!! i am incredibly happy rn!!!!#charlie rambles #i'm gonna go and cry tears of joy now :')

I just spent many hours deep cleaning my room but man I feel so good now that it's done, all the depression clutter is gone and I finally made my bed again for the first time in probably a month 😭

#stuff is now stored in places #i got rid of a bunch of like years old makeup and nail polish #I vacuumed the carpet and dusted and wiped down like every hard surface #I unboxed and arranged some of my decorations now that there’s room #I even did my laundry today 😭#I was gonna do dishes but this took too long and everyone's coming home now and I don’t do dishes if people are home so oh well #all I have to do is convince myself to actually brush my teeth tonight before I go to bed and I think I've fully beat the Horror for a day #also actually wrote out my fanfic pipeline on a whiteboard my sister got for me so now I'm locked in by myself 😤#just honestly doing so well today and it feels really good because this is not normal for me #abby's just rambling don't mind her

Next thing you'll say is he doesn't have a tail

ref to this pic

EDIT: Just to keep things clear I didn't really think about bringing it up but not everyone's gonna click to see the first picture and might be confused. Alastor was stated to know only a little bit of broken French, the reasoning due to being from New Orleans. Speaking standard French is very much not a thing in New Orleans, so he would logically only know French-Creole. This is very different from the standard French language and a large misconception that people from New Orleans speak regular French. So yes, he does speak some French, just not as well as people make him nor would it, in theory, be the regular French that everyone makes him speak [but I wouldn't put it past the writers to not do that research but maybe I have too little faith in them]. I'm not from New Orleans, I visited it once so it's not like I'm an expert. But I HAVE looked into it and just bothering with one Google search will tell you it's not common and you'll even have a special term called "Louisiana French" pop up. With that all said, these were statements made on years past streams and could've been changed in the official series. However, as of right now, the official statement is that he speaks only a little broken French that should technically be French-Creole if they're going by and that he's from New Orleans to know that language. And again, I don't have a lot of faith in writers to do the research into it being Louisiana French rather than regular French, but now I'm rambling lol This is just a bit of context for this comic so people who were curious can understand it a bit more. And it's totally possible I got something wrong, so feel free to point it out when I do. I just like to dig into the nooks and crannies of information for things :3 2nd EDIT: Just for any future reblogs, I did get somethings incorrect in the above (not surprising), so here's some of the corrections I got:

@mangotangerine: "A tiny nitpick - it would likely be Louisiana Creole, which is one of the French-based Creole languages (Haitian Creole is prob the most well known as it has about 10-12 million speakers vs Louisiana Creole which has around 10,000 due to multiple factors but especially legislation in early 1920s outlawing it). Louisiana French is an umbrella term for the various French dialects/etc in the region (e.g., the dialect Cajun French)." (We actually had a whole conversation in the comments of this post and highly suggest looking down there in case you're interested in learning more!)

@alyssumflowers: "I am from New Orleans and a little bit of a language nerd. You're confusing some things here. Cajun French is a dialect of French. My great grandmother spoke it fluently, my grandfather in pieces.

Louisiana Creole is another language entirely. The word "creole" means mixed and a creole language is basically a mixture of two or more languages. Sort of, it's a linguistics thing. Anyways. Louisiana Creole has next to no speakers left and I've had a hard time trying to find somewhere or someone to learn it from because I really want to." (Always great to hear from someone who has more insider knowledge on the subject! So I wanted to give this it's share due as well, hope you can fine somewhere to learn it! /ᐠ > ˕ <マ ₊˚⊹♡ )

Thank you for the comments! My previous statement still stands about Al probably not speaking normal French, but I wanted these corrections still known and pointed out :3
