Asked my pal from Somerset if he knew anyone capable of taking the square root of -𝑟².
"I are!" he said.
That's a proof by country diction.

I wasn't allowed to post my latest quantum computing joke. Was told it violated the no-clowning theorem

Sigh 😔

I discovered today that there is a movie called “Prime”. But I can’t watch it because the plot is too composite. 🥁

So I had to call the global help desk, be on hold, ask to be called back, get a human person’s advice, call again on another medium that allows screen sharing, and now have the request partially saved waiting for more input. (The advisor had to look up manuals too…) #perennialbureaucracy 🤷🏽‍♀️

Umm tell me what the difference is again: “Recruitment reports”, “Recruitment reports for Recruitment reports”, “Recruiting”, “Recruiting jobs” … #bureaucracy

Today I turned up to give a lecture and it turned out to be the wrong day 🤦🏽‍♀️ Maybe the universe is telling me to slow down…

Legend: 🥙 = all ingredients in place, 🌾 = just ripening, 🍚 = nice but empty calories, 👾 = excited weird computation, 🤯 = mind blown, 🕳️ = rabbit hole …

Sorry for all the questions. I’m looking for the PDE’s independent variables (presumably 3 spatial variables) in which the oscillation is occurring. And whether that’s in some metric or ?

How many independent variables?

What are the equations you’re tackling?

In soliton theory, “waves that “jog on the spot” rather than travelling through a medium” are called breathers 👉🏼 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breather

I tried to classify the unfinished mathematical problems lurking in my brain: 🥙, 🌾, 🍚, 👾, 🤯, 🕳️ …

I’ll have to find and taste it!

The saltiness of analysis, the sweetness of algebra, the umami of algebraic geometry, the bitterness of contradictions, the sourness of dead ends …

I'd be curious to taste mathematics.

Do mathematicians rely on senses other than vision and hearing? The senses of vision and hearing are commonly recognized as being important for the study of mathematics, with fields like geometry and topology relying heavily on vision, while algebra and number ...

An icon of the poster RepulsiveMousse3992 within the subreddit r/math followed by the text “When do you guys think the Millenium Prize will adjust for inflation? 1 million isn't that much money anymore. It is strange if they don't adjust it and allow their prize to become irrelevant just because of inflation.”

I just learned that a planar tree with one vertex is called a corolla, and I keep wondering if the Toyota Planar Tree With One Vertex would have been quite as successful.

A law of conservation of difficulties: there is no easy way to prove a deep result. But only finding complicated ways to prove a result doesn’t mean it’s deep … 😮‍💨#mathjokecuttingclosetoreality

Classification of mathematical problems as linear and nonlinear is like classification of the Universe as bananas and non-bananas. #mathjoke

“Unlike human intelligence, it lacks the humility to acknowledge uncertainty, …When unsure, it doesn’t defer to deeper research or human oversight; instead, it often presents estimates as facts.” 🤨 Like some researchers I know…
