idk I got bored of the other title @equationally - Tumblr Blog

36 and why it’s the best

it’s even, and I am partial to even numbers in general

it’s a perfect square and a triangular number

its square root is also a triangular number (36 is the only number other than 1 which has this property)

it is a highly composite number, meaning that it has more factors than any positive integer before it

it’s semiperfect

it’s the sum of a twin prime pair (17 + 19)

it’s the sum of the cubes of the first three positive integers, and it’s the product of the squares of the first three positive integers.

it’s an Erdos-Woods number

it is a Størmer number because 362 + 1 = 1297, a prime greater than 2×36

the numbers 1 through 36 sum to 666 (aka the number of the beast)

Once you get to a certain level of advanced maths, you basically become a wizard.

Sounds like something a wizard mocking another wizard for their poorly written spellbook would say

there's nothing as satisfying as a good approximation. sure, if you wanted to model the climate of an exoplanet with different orbital parameters from the Earth, you could find the annual insolation of a point on the planet's surface, integrate over the whole orbital period, and then integrate over all longitudes, and get the annual average insolation as a function of latitude that way.

orrrrr you could use this incredibly messy approximation with some hideous-looking coefficients, which is like 99% as good but much faster to compute

and mad props to the people who worked this approximation out: the derivation is pretty darn ugly!

anyway, this dirty, filthy, slutty approximation saved me from some really dismal work trying to understand some very sloppy python code i wrote in a hurry months ago, so shoutout to Nadeau and McGehee 2016.

Please can you publish trustworthy links for donating to Syria so it helps reach the less supported people?

There are 3 main ones I know of (I have family in Syria that are directly affected)

1. Molham

I've included a link to where people can donate and here is a link to their twitter page where they're giving regular updates. Here's a third link to donate in Euros

Molham, to those who don't know, are specifically a non profit, non government team that have been providing relief for displaced & refugee Syrians. They're now helping out with the Earth Quake.

2. The White Helmets

Currently searching for survivors and pull ing the dead from collapsed buildings

3. Islamic Relief (this link should work for all countries donating)

Has for a very long time been extremely reliable. I usually donate through them and they tend to help out people all cross the world. They currently have a team in Syria, last I've heard.

here's a link if you're donating specifically in Canada, UK, America,

please PLEASE donate.

Even one dollar, one pound, can go a long way.

And if you can't, PLEASE reblog!!

Syria needs help too! Syria matters too! They're not receiving aid for a variety of political reasons and they desperately need it!!!

f(x) tribute band called f'(x). you'd think the point would be to be derivative but it's actually quite easy to differentiate the two.

the best thing that we can do right now to fight for abortion rights is donating to your local abortion fund, especially in states with “trigger laws” or laws that will immediately take harsh measures to shut down abortion rights as soon as roe is overturned. If you don’t know your local abortion fund or states with trigger laws, here’s one in Texas, one in Louisiana, one in Georgia, one in West Virginia and one in Mississippi (all states with such “trigger laws”). There’s so many more beyond the handful i just listed here but times like these are the time to donate and support the incredible work that these organizations do for their communities.

sorry, better version of this post: here is the national abortion fund archive where you can find your local abortion fund and here’s an article from the cut about abortion funds explaining which states are trigger law states and the specific regulations around abortion they have (also links abortion funds themselves at the bottom)
