Number Tournament: OMEGA vs NEGATIVE ONE

[link to all polls]

omega

seed: 64 (6 nominations)

previous opponent: seven

class: infinite ordinal

definition: the first number that goes after all the natural numbers

-1 (negative one)

seed: 33 (15 nominations)

previous opponent: twenty-three

class: negative unit

definition: the first number that goes before all the natural numbers. I mean assuming that you're counting zero as a natural number, which it isn't always. and also ignoring all the non-integers. whatever these two have a duality thing going on you get the idea

which is the best number?

omega

negative one

All the infinities are going out y'all this is so sad omega deserves better than this

Is your Beta going to infinity, or are you just pleased to see me? 👀👀👀👀

Jonathan Gleason was my friend who committed suicide just over a month ago… and I just found out that he wrote this 800+ page analysis textbook. By himself. Because he was teaching analysis and he was dissatisfied with the textbook he was assigned so he just…. wrote his own.

Even if you haven’t done any math… please just take a look at this. Scroll through it as fast as you like. It’s incredible that he put so much work and so much free time into this… I’m still in awe and I really want everyone to see it. In particular, if you want a good laugh, look at chapter 5 of the analysis textbook. The opening paragraph is SO Johnny.

He also wrote a linear algebra textbook, here.

I really want to thank everyone who has reblogged/liked this, and even anyone who just clicked on the link to check it out. I wasn’t expecting more than a handful of notes on this, so knowing that his hard work gets shared and even appreciated by a few strangers really means a lot.

I’ve taken some of the best/easiest to follow snippets and provide them here, I hope you enjoy them as much as I have:

“Da fuq”.

Oh thank god.

At least he admits when he’s being sloppy.

God, I wish more math textbooks read like this.

And last but not least, my absolute favorite part, the opening to the chapter on integration.

There are so many more tidbits like this and I wish literally all of my textbooks could be written like this.

Jonothan Gleason died Jan 16th, 2018 and it means so much to me that so many people got a kick out of the little pieces of him that are in this book. Thanks for all of the rb’s and likes, I’m so happy that even just a few hundred people got to enjoy his writing and hard work.

Galois! Don’t go to that duel! Galois! Oh My God he has AirPods in and he can’t hear us oh my god

When you say you like algebra are you referring to the more proofy algebra like abstract algebra or more of the traditional algebra like collage algebra, linear algebra, etc. (or both)? I'm currently taking a modern algebra course, and I find it interesting, but extremely tough. I tend to prefer applied math myself. Also, what's the math discord you run?

Thanks for the ask! I was generally talking about abstract algebra because I really enjoyed it in my undergrad. I thought the problem solving was always really interesting, but you’re right about it being tough. I’m currently a very busy statistics postgrad however, so I’m probably quite useless at it now :’) The Discord is here https://discord.gg/kBbNrj it’s very quiet tbh, but I’m always up for people coming and having a chat in it if they fancy it!

Can you guess the OWL Teams from their ratings?

It’s every gambler’s dream to be able to perfectly predict the future outcomes of sporting events and esports are no different. There are a multitude of systems which have been used in …

I’ve been looking into constructing (admittedly pretty basic) elo ratings for Overwatch League teams and I made a blog post about it here! I had a fun time making them so hopefully you’ll have a fun time reading about it (plus there’s a snazzy Sporcle quiz in there if Overwatch League is something you’re into)
