The Asymptotic Series

"Is maths really necessary?" Yes, yes it is

I love Maffy Matics

stressed -> cannot solve math problem -> more stressed

sorry we made your boyfriend into an infinitesimally small eplison. yeah we let f(x) be a function defined on an interval that contains x = a. and we let the limit of f(x) be defined as L if for every epsilon greater than 0 there’s also a delta greater than 0. and if delta is greater than the absolute difference of x and a then epsilon is greater that the absolute difference of the function and the limit. yeah sorry he’s part of the delta epsilon limit definition now.

do u think landau and lifshitz ever explored each other's bodies

oh yeah. see §38 of Mechanics

theres so many fucking theorems

Just wait until the spring when you can see the corollaries in full blossom as well.

the other day, i said i was tired of seeing legendre polynomials everywhere and a friend of mine said, with no explanation whatsoever, "le gender polynomials" and i just think that's the funniest thing i have ever heard

all of the numbers that are divisible by 17 sound so absurd. 51? 68? 85? ridiculous. 102? absolutely not. and don't even get me started on 119

34 and 136 i can believe, but i feel like i shouldn’t. it’s 102 in a trench coat

did we just run out of posts to make

no, i haven't made a post about every number yet

I'm sorry to let you know that 100,000,001 (one hundred million and one) is divisible by 17 and because of that, so is every 16-digit number that is four digits repeated four times e.g. 1234123412341234

Getting a masters or phd sounds great in theory but in practice I'd have to leave my house and my dog for a few years and idk if I could manage to survive that honestly.

did you know they say calculus is the language of God. did you know they tried to hold math up to infinity like a candle to the void. did you know statisticians plunged into the vastness of random chance and picked out patterns and equations and eight hundred ways to tell you how big your inevitable errors are and how far off those guesses at errors might be. math haters I can't sit with you anymore. human innovation is cradled in these ancient, methodical, desperate attempts at understanding what we are not designed to understand

i think aliens should stop by, give the answer to an unsolved math problem, not explain it, and then leave

i never like to say that i hate people, but i most definitely hate people who still think women aren’t meant for STEM jobs.
