Seven Factorial

Math education PhD student | 2nd+ε year | she/her ⋮ Additionally, a discrete mathematician, back-out-of-retirement analyst, math art enthusiast, and proponent of the creative and human elements of math ⋮ I started a math PhD in 2020, mastered out, and (insanely) decided to try it again. It's going rather well this time :) ⋮ My original posts are tagged "seven stories." They're mostly silly little stories related to math or grad school

A couple nights ago, I took a full dose of sleep meds (instead of my usual half dose) and it was great. Fell asleep early and slept well. A godsend after several days of bad sleep.

However, I did wake up for a little while at some point and thought about a measure theory problem I was stuck on. Before going back to sleep.

In the morning, I checked my night time work and found that none of it was wrong but also didn't fix any of the problems I was having so. Uh. Yeah idk.

During our research meeting:

"To make that happen, you'd need to write down uncountably many ordered pairs and I don't know about you all, but I've never written down uncountably many ordered pairs."

"I've never written down countably many ordered pairs either."

If you've already had n cookies, just one more won't hurt.

Sometimes you try to write one research paper and your subjects inform you that you will be writing an entirely different one.
