A reminder that just like on my main, terfs/radfems/etc. are not welcome on this blog. Don’t interact with my posts.

''i liked math until they added letters'' is so funny. math sucked ass until they added letters

Went to the grocery store with my kindergartener. We weighed some bananas: 2 pounds even. We weighed a watermelon: 4 pounds even. We weighed some mangos: a little over 1 pound. We weighed the watermelon AND the bananas: 6 pounds even.

“That’s funny” said the child “because 2+4=6 and two pounds and four pounds is six pounds. It’s like the same as math!”

“What happens if you add 6+1?”

“SEVEN”

“What if we put one pound of mangos on the scale?” <mangos added>

“IT’S THE SAME!!”

“OK, what’s 7-4?”

“Three?”

“What if we take the four pound watermelon off the scale?” <watermelon removed>

“Mama! Are you telling me math works In Real Life? Think of all the things you could measure!!”

Are you an aspiring math major, but don't know what your field of study should be?

@algebraic-dumbass had the idea to make a flow chart of math sub-fields, so perhaps this will help any future mathematicians decide what to study!

Professors who shorten homomorphism to homs instead of homos are cowards

[handshaking-lemma]

One of my lecturers abbreviates "assumption" as "ass". I'm a coward and usually abbreviate it as "hyp." (short for "hypothesis").

Move a couch into your apartment. VERY carefully. Oh shit fuck ow turn it this way, it's on my foot, no the other foot, no the OTHER other foot, can you just, rotate it, like pi/6 radians through the diagonal plane between my hip and the upper left of the door frame, no the other left, OW, didn't someone come up with a theorem for this, FUCK

The biggest step of a mathematicians journey to maturity is no longer having to resist giggling at words like homogenous and homomorphic.

Okay so there's these sets in math called Lp spaces (pronounced "ell pee").

And so you'll get talks where you've got people saying things like "we can improve the Lp-ness of this function"

My grad school friends and I were convinced that the higher-ups were just hazing grad students when they made grad students teach conic sections in precalc, forcing them to say “latus rectum” to a room full of college freshmen.

The proof that the center of a group is closed is so cute

(ab)x = a(bx) = a(xb) = (ax)b = (xa)b = x(ab)

It's like we're taking x on a walk
