Well, I haven't told this to yall but I finished this book about Pre-University Maths (T), it took 5-6 months in total to finish all of it

im so proud of myself rn

Hi, hello! I was wondering if you'd be okay with sharing any titles for math theory books you're really into? I'm considering a shift in my teaching and would like to brush up on some more. I just finished "Revolutionary Mathematics: Artificial Intelligence, Statistics and the Logic of Capitalism" but I realized I've been focusing a lot on stats/machine learning/society. I'm open to anything, just want to round out more of my self-studying. I'm starting "Meeting the Universe Halfway" soon (well again, because I wasn't in the right headspace for it before lol).

i’ll preface this by saying i don’t really read incredible quantities of commercial nonfiction about mathematics. usually i pick up something from the university library or just blunder up to one of the math profs & they send me away with a pat on the head and a nice little book to read. plus my interest is more in physics than pure math.

these are basically the ones i’ve read on kindle because it’d be amazing if i ever wrote down the titles of books i read but i don’t

not all are really strictly math books but they’re usually trying their best. the singh & strogatz books i liked because they’re fun & give that autistic thrill of reading information you already know but in a different way.

i love the riemann hypothesis & while the sautoy book isn’t the best ever exploration of it i still had a good time. zero is interesting, more history than math but smth smth the newton quote standing on the shoulders of giants. but more seriously math history is also fascinating

chaos theory obviously slaps, fractal geometry one is more of a ref & pretty old but fascinating. reminds me of constructal theory in terms of just straight-up being fun to consider. obv yao is a fields medalist.

once upon a prime is very much pop science, but it’s cute. literature 🤝 math makes me happy. the last three i’m just cheating one is about my boy aristotle & my babies black holes & well, you know, physics. but physics kisses math on the mouth anyway

books:

fermat’s last theorem by simon singh

the code book by simon singh

infinite powers by steven strogatz

the joy of x by steven strogatz

the music of the primes by marcus du sautoy

zero by charles seif (not bad)

chaos by james gleik

the shape of a life by shing-tung yao

the fractal geometry of nature by benoit b mandelbrot

once upon a prime by sarah hart

the lagoon by armaund marie leroi

a brief history of black holes by dr becky smethhurst

the quantum universe by brian cox & jeff forshaw

a brief history of time + the theory of everything by stephen hawking

"average cat owner spends 3 years in prison" factoid actualy just statistical error. average owner spends 0 years in prison. Miette's mother, who kicked her body like the football and went to jail for One Thousand Years is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Whaaaat omg 😂 I got 12 omg

yeah, that's also a correct solution (or apparently according to op the solution you'd get if you'd plug it into wolframalpha for instance) - the ÷ symbol is informal and outdated. it would be less divisive with a / because that clearly signals what's the numerator and the denominator

I fucking love math

[siobhanromee]

So I thought it would be interesting to do some math. As of March 7th (8 hours into the poll and with over 17k votes):

36.7% of respondents have eaten pussy

56.1% of respondents have smoked weed

39.8% of respondents have stolen from walmart

These results are subject to change as the poll receives a wider range of responses, but these are fascinating results so far

polls are the most eye opening part of tumblr bc this whole time all the posts are like fuck yeah gay sex crime stealing steal from Walmart get high and eat pussy but every poll is like I will remain celibate as long as I live . Why are u all lying about eating pussy and smoking weed

concept: numbers iceberg chart but with actually relatively unknown numbers. with numbers that lie outside just number theory.

almost all number icebergs post put Graham's number and TREE(3) onto one of the lower tiers, and most people already heard about it. i want an iceberg that puts hypercomplex and surreal numbers on the chart, to name a few. i want to hear a youtuber explain what a quaterion is in just two minutes.
