Funding Agency: please review this grant proposal in one month. Make an account, log in, see the abstract, if you say yes then we show you the proposal.

Me: I'm too busy, and anyway I'd need to see the whole proposal not an abstract.

FA: Ok, take one extra week. Here is the abstract attached.

I learned from the wonderful lecture of Stanislas Dehaene on Graphics Perception that Edmund Halley was the first to introduce the idea of a graph representing physical quantities (which we take for granted these days).
Stop by his house when in Oxford.

The secret to being a good guitarist is to have the right guitar, when you find the right guitar it will fix all the issues with your playing and you'll be great, it's definitely not one of the guitars you already own though you need to buy a new one

What is entropy, really? I first saw the term "entropy" in a chemistry course while studying thermodynamics. During my graduate studies I encountered the term in many different areas of mathematics. Can anyone explain why ...

Very nice! I remember reading a similarly helpful explanation many years ago here on MO

The duality of geometry and topology

Hey friends! I am interested in #geometry, #topology, and #MachineLearning. Silent lurker for some time, but now with the recent influx, I'd love to engage more.

If you followed me from the 'other place' but I did not follow you back, let me know! The notifications here are sometimes a bit much...

This is like saying "everything is oxygenal" because the people who tried to prove these results were breathing.

If "all things are politics" then your assertion becomes "I have an incomplete understanding of all things." I hope we can agree that this holds for everyone, political scientist or otherwise.

A simple refutation: the fact that there are infinitely many prime numbers is not political.

Perhaps one source of confusion, then, is the massive oversimplification that occurs between whatever nuanced view you actually hold and its easily refutable three word summary.

Genuine question for those who make this claim: is this an axiom to you, or something that may be falsified with enough evidence? In what sense, if any, is this different from a priest declaring that all (including atheism) flows from God?

Just came back on here after many months away, and was pleasantly surprised to see new followers despite my inactivity.

Hi I'm Vidit, I do mathematics (mostly geometry, topology and data related) at Oxford. Good to see you all :)
