I close my eyes. I enter my Mathemagical Mind Palace. I see the object before me. I'm working out the differential equations. The derivative of the function with respect to time is equal to a constant times the second derivative of the function with respect to distance from the origin. A billion vectors rendered in with ray-tracing. I see the phase portrait. I see the three-dimensional manifold in a four-dimensional space. The shadows on the wall and the ancient beings who make the shadows. I peer into the amethyst eyes of the unyielding serpent. I have done my calculation.

Out of the suggested cooking time of "18 to 20 minutes", I will be cooking this pizza for: 19 minutes.

the derivative of sin(x) being cos(x) feels like a warm hug, that all is good in this moment, and that im on the right path in this problem.

the derivative of cos(x) being -sin(x) feels like my leg is being ripped off. why aren’t you as beautiful as your sister sin. where’s the symmetry??? the whimsy???

it is really funny in number theory seeing like. 1 million theorems about ODD primes and being like, a complete math newb like "why is it odd primes? aren't all primes odd, except 2" and then ur professor is like yeah 2 fucking sucks and like does not fit any of our proofs so we have to deal with it separately and etc. and they have like such vitriol for. prime number 2.

i deserve a dollar everytime i share some silly math thing im working on and people just respond with “ew”

zere are abelian groups???? zats so many groups

Dude, I hate it when I wake up as an Egyptian pharoah.

Not taking 0 as part of N the natural numbers is insisting we live in a fantasy world where I always have at least 1 carton of ice cream. While I wish that was true, it is tragically not the case. There are certainly times where I have 0 cartons of ice cream and while it’s egregiously unfair, it’s also by inspection natural. Because ice cream is delicious and therefore requires replenishment (eg goes to zero). If N can’t capture this, what are we even doing

Me: "I like [topic]. [Topic] is my life's biggest passion. In fact, I am a [topic] major."

Them: "oh ew. I hate [topic] why would you ever subject yourself to that torture? I could never spend my life doing [topic]."

*the twilight zone narrator voice* this interaction you have just witnessed may seem inhumane and just cruel, nethertheless it is an interaction that math majors must experience every day of their apparently torturous lives.

Gee, thanks. I will go fuck myself then

I love mathematicians so much. No one else is doing it like them. Group of people genuinely only in it for love of the game. Everyone else hates their subject and thinks its boring and useless and these guys are out here talking about how beautiful and incredible and poetic it is with a twinkle in their eyes. No other subject has such a crazy disconnect between public perception and reality. I love it.

Shit man, this math war is fucked. I just saw a guy draw a commutative diagram and say "one point compactification" or some similar shit, and everyone around him got folded into a 3-sphere and vanished into 4d-space. The camera didn't even go onto him, that's how common shit like this is. My ass is casting ε-δ and quotient spaces. I think I just heard "infinity-groupoid coskeleton tower" two groups over. I gotta get the fuck outta here.

average first sentence of a math wikipedia page:

A snorkle basis is a particular sort of set that has some properties and is generally "nice" (in a rigorous sense) and can do many things and is very practical.
