hot linear algebra take

I absolutely love linear algebra and I absolutely fucking despise matrices

being a speaker of a dumbass gendered language will have you trying to figure out the preferred pronouns of the abstract concept you just defined

vectors were invented in 1720 by Lady Vector of Linearshire when she tried to add two lists of numbers together just to see what would happen

DEI does not mean lower standards.

You are thinking of white privilege.

i'm afraid this semester is unsalvageable. I will now academically regress into the comfort of linear algebra

why do they call it group chat??

it is clear that there is no identity

real numbers? nah they're fake

chain complex? i find it quite simple

five lemma? that's a few

concrete category? uh this one is self-consolidating

halting problem? i think that's called an addiction

common factor? idk i'd say 97 is pretty rare

field extension? how many acres?

total order? what conspiracy is that?

Mathematics of paper folding - Wikipedia

Chat is this worth looking into?? How could we characterize the shapes that can be created by folding a square paper along any line??

Symmetry: The beauty of Mathematics

Listen, symmetry isn’t just aesthetic. It’s the backbone of mathematics, the reason your equations behave, and honestly, the only thing keeping some functions from spiraling into utter chaos. And here’s the truth: symmetry isn’t just about looking pretty; it’s about mathematical harmony, balance, and the deeply satisfying moment when everything aligns perfectly, just as it should.

The Y-Axis Mirror Selfie (a.k.a Even Functions)

2. The Rotational Drama Queens (a.k.a Symmetry about the Origin; odd functions)

3. Group Theory Symmetry : the reason your Rubik's Cube works and why physicists don’t spiral into existential despair when studying quantum particles.

Cyclic groups, Dihedral groups and Lie groups

4. Polar Coordinates—aka the Art Students of Math

Polar graphs SCREAM symmetry. Roses? Circles? LEMNISCATES?

the bottom line : Symmetry is how we recognize order in chaos. And symmetry isn’t just confined to math. You see it in biology (DNA), art (da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man), and even in the way we naturally find faces with symmetry more attractive. It's everywhere, from the humble parabola to the complex eigenfunctions of quantum systems. So next time you plot a graph, take a second to appreciate the sheer elegance of its symmetry. Or lack of symmetry—because asymmetry can be just as hot.

i hate when i browse math-related tags on this site and half the posts are people ranting about how much they hate her. why are you so mean to my wife
