Acid Lich’s special interest zone

[more-mathematics-mor-lam]

This is the side blog of @acid-lich

Here you will find many things, including but not limited to: math stuff, molam stuff, language stuff, perhaps some art process stuff, anything that won’t really fit into my art blog. Will probably talk to some degree about my experiences with both autism & epilepsy. Social media has been very strange this last year but I’m not quite ready to give it up entirely as an outlet/repository for things, hoping to once again try to revamp this as a place for that as many social networks dissolve or eat themselves alive.

Your skill level is unquestionable but listen.

I love him.

[toasthaste-art]

me also. as well.

This is the COOLEST thing I’ve seen in AGES. You both completely made my entire week.

I would like to share the story of a very understandable but unfortunate mistake i made at work recently

So I'm weeding our ancient and terrible collection of children's books for the first time in possibly ever, and I'm making a decision about a book about migrant workers by Sandra Weiner, called Small Hands, Big Hands. And I'm not 100% sure and I go to just see if there's anything out there about this book's being notable in any way so I do an open web search for

"small hands big hands weiner"

And then I look at my results for a moment

and then at last I somberly add to the end of my search, "BOOK"

I have one like that:

In mathematics, you often consider the two-dimensional plane - you know, the idealised flat two-dimensional object that extends infinitely - which can be real or complex (doesn't matter what that means)

On this, you can perform a mathematical operation called a "blow-up" (resulting in a more complicated geometry)

I needed to look up a formula related to this, so I confidently typed into the search bar:

"Blow up real plane"

The results were not what I wanted and I am not sure if I'm on a terror watchlist now.

This reminds me of my corsetmaker days when i found myself searching for "extra thick boning."

[oreotiger]

knee-deep in organic chemistry while working full time. surely this would be a safe query

My completely mundane version of this was looking up rings of power series and getting big mad when I got results for an elf show

Rigid & Non-rigid Transformations

I started this piece back in 2023 as way to blow off some steam while getting ready for a college geometry final and so it contains a lot of symmetries

Remastered this piece for my friend Matt who is far away now doing his PhD. Miss you so much Buddy how am I supposed to do proofs without your help 😭

If you can believe it, this drawing contains a reflected elliptic curve in the water, approximately this man:

Y^2=X^3-25X

[more-mathematics-mor-lam]

Matt, I might’ve graduated if not for you and your having to get a PhD (jk, jk, it was mostly the catastrophic seizures)

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

July is disability pride month and it’s also named after Julius Caesar and he also had epilepsy!!!

[green-is-gay]

i dont WANT pride months to be over,

on the other hand...

Unironically I think this meme is really good for explaining why maths formalisms and notation are so valuable, even when they seem cumbersome/convoluted. It's an incredibly precise way to describe the interaction of a lot of related-but-meaningfully-distinct concepts, and this is a great showcase of that, thank you Lynn Chordbug you're the best.
