Strokes Theorem

My name is a dirty Calculus reference. Yes, math is an interest. Nerdy references and deadpan one-liners, but will have posts about life too.

non-Euclidian being used to say something is lovecraftian and beyond human understanding is hilarious to me. Bro we live on a sphere.

Y’ever read something and have understanding that has eluded you interminably suddenly stop, curl up, and snuggle neatly into a fold in your brain because a new way way opened to it?

I've seen this passed around a few times, and I have one thing to say:

It's online. The book was carefully and wonderfully recreated online by hand. You can find it here. The entire book is this easy.

This Pride Month, we’re celebrating the beauty of diversity above and below the surface. The ocean is full of vibrant life in every color imaginable. It reminds us that nature thrives when everyone has space to belong.

Environmental advocacy and the LGBTQ+ rights movement share a common purpose: protecting vulnerable communities, caring for the spaces we all call home, and creating a world where we all can flourish. Our world is brightest when people can live authentically, love freely, and be embraced for who they are. From rainbow reefs to shimmering tides, diversity makes our blue planet stronger, healthier, and more inspiring.

Here’s to protecting our ocean, uplifting every voice, and honoring the colorful communities that make this world so wonderful.

Interesting math fact of the day #509:

The mean minus the mode is often approximately three times the mean minus the median.

A group chat implies the existence of a ring chat. Along with so many others.

I want a video game where I can login and just be surrounded by other math students working on mathematics just to feel present. Mostly just in a different monitor workspace doing mathematics, but periodically looking over into the game to see who else is there and feel some simulated sense of community.

Maybe you should take up geometry on a hobbyist level and try edging?

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

i wish there weren’t academics who act literally like the stereotype by having a huge superiority complex and believing their job places them so far above the rest of society that being subject to the same conditions or constraints is a sort of insult. whenever i read or hear people having this line of thought it’s just intense second-hand embarrassment
