Math Is Quietly in Crisis over NSF Funding Cuts A 72 percent reduction in federal funding is devastating to math research. The American Mathematical Society is offering $1 million in backstop grants—but it’s likely not enough.

Math is in crisis. The NSF claims the over $80M in cuts is due to "changing priorities" but when asked how math fits to their new priorities they said it is "required to advance future discoveries in every critical technology area." What gives??? www.scientificamerican.com/article/can-...

*app oh my god

what a nice day to remember this apple exists

The joke is, they still don't know shit about math and feel like gods because they passed calculus.

Hot diagrams in your area begging to be chased

We don't have one but I feel like learning how to write well structured proofs should be the objective of every class and it's kind of pointless to have one dedicated to it. That's what homeworks are for.

Fun travel tip: forced perspective and a few plastic dinosaurs can make all your travel photos more interesting.

What do you call a bunch of close friends that are all math nerds???

Algebros!

Completely predictably, those who find this cartoon funny are THE SAME PEOPLE who post Common Core memes that mock the "new age" math curricula for prioritizing critical thinking over rote memorization. 🙄 #ITeachMath #MathSky

turns out studying the day after a party isn't fun (i came home after 5am)

The plot of Pearl.

every year around christmas time the ballet dancers who play the rats in the nutcracker come out with a series of unexplained banger tiktok videos and anyway this is my favorite part of the holiday season

maturing is realizing that there is a general concept of what these terms mean and you can usually see the concept reflected in different mathematical object and it's beautiful

me when the exam is comming up

wish this was me

YouTube video by Angela Collier the sham legacy of Richard Feynman

I found this to be a really interesting video. A good attempt to separate Feynman the man from his stories and his physics. Also an indictment of the popular science publishing industry.

Reading slides written by computer scientists and I'm like what the fuck where is the definition. There is just picture 😭

wojack vicious cycle get stuck on problem get brilliant idea on the way home try it next day at work idea sucks get stuck on problem etc.

I hate it here

finally the flyers for the spring school of algebra are up

I really don't think there will ever be a point along the line towards deathcamps where the "centrists" will admit they were wrong and do something

today i've seen the hottest queer (?) alt person attening a seminar on categorical proof complexity and i'm in love.

Screencap of a post: Firstasatragedy • 170d •*• • SPOILER The Paradox of Gilmore Girls and the Sopranos Media In Season 6, episode 4 an episode of the Sopranos, an episode of Gilmore Girls is playing on TV. In Season 7, episode 17 of Gilmore Girls, Richard is wearing a tracksuit. Lorelai makes a joke about it by asking if he's having lunch with Tony Soprano. So obviously this means that both the Sopranos and Gilmore Girls exist as television shows in the other's respective universe. B ut more alarmingly, this means that each universe has now become a televised universe of itself within their own universes. When the Gilmore Girls watch the Sopranos, they will see themselves in the show. Likewise, when Tony Soprano watches Gilmore Girls, he will witness a direct reference to himself. It's like the effect of two mirrors facing each other: the universes of the Gilmore Girls and the Sopranos are infinitely replicated all the way down.

This is the kind of paradox I live for
