Extremely controversial opinion that you're allowed to unfollow me over.

"I hate math teehee" Isn't a cute personality trait.

What did math ever do to you?

90% of math in daily life is intuitive.

i usually joke abt it but real talk i cannot fuckin read.... like obv i can but reading (esp big blocks of text) takes sooo much active effort and is so taxing on me even when its something im interested in . i do not know why !!!

here's what's basically the first time i ever used shading and sort of diversified myself in shape design. these characters were for a multiplication-based board game as a group art project in which i was in charge of making these guys as the game pieces. not gonna lie, i do love these guys and i wanna use them more but is there a story for them? not really, they're just fun characters and sophie is bae.

(and just to add a little fun, isaac is square roots, ada is exponents, einal is the number line and inequalities, and sophie is fractions)

... wait shit this was back in 2018-

Had to wear the gang hat at the math conference

Was investigating triangular numbers in excel in English class because I was bored and found that in the first 30 triangular numbers, 3 was the only one that was prime. I thought I was so cool for figuring this out, and tried to find if three was the only prime triangular number. So I put the first 100 triangular numbers in Excel using a formula I knew: Tn= [n(n+1)]/2. And then I spent a little looking at it and got very stuck because golly they were all composite. Searched it up to check if anyone figured out why.

It's in the freaking formula. n MULTIPLIED BY n+1 (divided by 2). So if n is even, then it's composite, and if n is odd, then it's composite (bc n*(n+1) will always be an even number by an odd number, so it's always divisible by 2, leading to a composite result).

Thanks Mathematics Stack Exchange.

Yall ever be drawing with a ruler and compass and be like “wow this is so nice” and then your massive circle doesn’t line up at the end for some reason and you absolutely lose it.

Screw you man. Good thing you never be able trisect an angle.

But like, thanks for helping me draw my inscribed triangle, I couldn’t do it without ya. Sorry abt being mean to you COME ON. AGAIN?! NOW I GOTTA ERA-

Gotta love a good old math rivalry of sorts for fun and games. Finally made a problem that might challenge bro while remaining feasible with the course knowledge. Your move bro :)
