As a fellow exclamation point enthusiast, I loved it.

I'm pretty sure I can find a way to use it in a video :)

Ha nice, maybe you can upload it to TikTok as an available sound for people to use?

Oh I mean, yes if I'm making a 'comedy' video/video with a bit, then I'll use some 'sound', not necessarily music, but sometimes music. I can pull up some example.

I don't. I've debated whether to include sometimes some music in the background, but I think it would be overall distracting and out of place.

Hey @mathandcobb.bsky.social, can you ask the Hagoromo people if they'll make me an official Brand Representative if I tattoo a piece of Hagoromo on my forearm?

So let me try to get a bit of a silver lining out of this mess... Do we all now agree we need more science and scientific studies?

In this video I describe all the functions that are equal to their own n-th derivative, and also define the infinite family of "spiral trigonometric functions", which include the usual exponential, sine, and cosine functions as special cases #math #differentialequation #trigonometry #spiral

So what are you playing?

I've only scratched the surface of the functions but I'm sure there are many cool priorities one could prove, look into!

Thanks for the shout-out! I think these are really cool functions! But I've already changed the notation a bit... See tomorrow's video! :D

Graph of y = exp(-x/2)*cos(x*sqrt(3)/2)

Graph of y = exp(-x/2)*cos(x*sqrt(3)/2)

Graph of y = exp(-x/2)*sin(x*sqrt(3)/2)

Graph of y = exp(-x/2)*sin(x*sqrt(3)/2)

Graph of f(x) = exp(-x/2)*cos(x*sqrt(3)/2) in red and its first and second derivatives, f'(x) in blue and f''(x) in green

The logarithmic spiral traced out by (f(t),g(t)) where f(t) = exp(-t/2)*cos(t*sqrt(3)/2) and g(t) = exp(-t/2)*sin(t*sqrt(3)/2)

The “spiral trigonometric” functions, named coss(x) and sins(x) by @mathandcobb.bsky.social. These are solutions to the third-order differential equation y'''=y.

I'm making a video for the entire family of spiral trig functions, for any f^(n) = f !! Will post tomorrow 🙏

Don't you use Cauchy to prove Sylow 1? To prove the very existence of Sylow subgroups?

I would say that the awfulness is becoming continuous :(

Of course it is, thanks to the commutativity of integer addition.

9+16 = 16+9 = 25.

Happy Pythagorean Theorem Day! 9+16=25, or 3^2+4^2=5^2. This is the unique date every century with this property! 🤩

Spring Lecture Series

The University of Arkansas is hosting a lecture series by Bjorn Poonen on "Undecidability related to arithmetic geometry" and they have some NSF funding to assist with travel! Please share widely.

It's like when parents favor a kid, and that kid always gets away doing less than the less favored siblings.
