I think that creating legitimate-sounding nonsense reports using LLMs would be a better waste of time. (As we all know, LLMs are excellent at legitimate-sounding nonsense.)

Theorem. If $n$ is an integer and $n^2$ is even, then $n$ is itself even. Proof. Contrapositives are for cowards, so assume $n$ is an integer and $n^2$ is even. Then $n^2=2k$ for some integer $k$, and thus $n^2-2k=0$. Behold: \[ n = n + (n^2-2k) = n(n+1)-2k. \] Both $n(n+1)$ and $2k$ are even, so $n$ is even. QED.

Contrapositives are for cowards. Behold.

honoraria $2k
speaker travel and lodging $5k
catering $3k
student workers $8k
chalk $50k
coffee $90k
office supplies $1k

someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my math department is dying

I disagree with body shaming, even for bad people. Men with all different politics have a range of penis sizes. It doesn’t matter. Superficial body parts have no influence on someone’s character.

What does it do?

Saving that first image to show to my barber! You looked so cool.

Does anyone know why it’s called that?

The people yearn for the downvote

Thank you!

Centered triangular numbers are the number of dots in images such as the one below.

The nth centered triangular number equals 1 + 3n(n + 1)/2.

I’m probably around your students’ age. The bad presents I’ve gotten have been things that disregard my personality.

For example, for one Valentine’s day, an ex-gf bought me a heart-shaped box of milk chocolates. I’m an ethical vegan.

16. I have terrible circulation, so high-quality warm socks are a godsend.

Why you are not allowed to say that your 95% confidence interval contains the true parameter with a probability of 95% A shibboleth is a custom, such as a choice of phrasing, that distinguishes one group of people from another. The term goes back to the Hebrew Bible, in which the inhabitants of Gilead identify members...
