just found out what bruns constant is for my TPC paper and now im mad and sad

i wanna run like a survey on what the average person thinks qualifies a number on first glance to "feel" prime
vibes based pseudoprimes...

the peanut gallery yesterday :)

sometimes i go through my transcript online to make sure im actually graduating because i literally dont believe its true

its... its not x-not???

I wish i could put my brain in a jar or something like that, take it out when its done being 20-something

i went from feeling on top of the world to catching a glimpse of myself in a jam recording and feeling like an alien

cat saw a tutorial on how to read palms on the internet and is now making some money from the neighborhood

painting of friends playing uno at the kitchen table, a cat evilly throws a +4 to the pug who was almost winning and he starts crying, a frog, a capybara and a pig are also playing

pug thinking about how he’s going to tell his psychologist how humiliated he felt after losing at Uno without looking pathetic

like if i think about it too much ill cry. i feel like what i have now is something ive wanted all my life. im so lucky to get to study math with so many amazing people

i had such a great day i love my math department so much theyre so inspiring to me and i feel so lucky to learn from them

Black-and-white photo of a young light skinned man wearing a sweater and trousers sitting on an upholster chair with 1 foot up on an ottoman. He stares blankly, straight ahead. A short hair tuxedo cat is curled in his lap.

This is one of the saddest photos I have because of the writing on the back, “Bob due to leave for Army, watching TV”. 1967. No further info.

last night was fun, i love when people play music with me, feels like life is light and airy

autumn leaves is good I DONT CARE IF ITS "BEGINNER" it sounds nice and makes me happy alright 😢

A black and white illustration in crosshatched pen and printing ink on a white paper of a room with a cosy fireplace, a Cat strolls over a rug in front of the fire, a Crow sits on the arm of a wingback chair. Christmas decorations above the fire. Atmospheric, festive and a bit spooky.

Because the nights are drawing in…an old illustration of mine.

A Cat & A Crow.

Good evening.

idk does it stop in grad school? do people stop pretending to be the smartest person in the world and being rude to you when youre not 🫣

undergrad math students stop posturing CHALLENGE

Screenshot of a quiz question: Learning target P2, version 1 The following definitions are extremely made up and don’t mean anything (but they look fun!). Definition: A function is viscous if its geodesic curvature γ( f ) is nonzero. Definition: A function is laminar if its intrinsic cofunction f-tilde is differentiable. Consider the following proposition: Every laminar function is viscous. 1. Write a proof framework for a direct proof of this proposition. 2. Write a proof framework for a proof by contrapositive. 3. Write a proof framework for a proof by contradiction. 4. (Bonus!) If for some reason you did not believe this proposition was true (and thus that none of these proof frameworks is appropriate), how would you show it?

Y'all, I made up these extremely cromulent definitions for my transition-to-proof quiz and after writing out the proof frameworks I am like 71% convinced that they mean something and I could prove it

i know nothing about how anything works at all regarding anything, gotta get on that

in my last physics class, my prof goes "bad news: im handing back your exams.. good news: were all getting raptured in *checks watch* an hour, so by then it wont matter!" that cracked me up

Here is a @desmos.com activity about the symmetry-preserving transformations of a square, inspired by my colleague Tom Jameson.
