How Much Homological Algebra Can You Do On 3 Hours Of Sleep? In Today's Episode Of "i Regret Everything"

Mathematics is taught very rigidly. When I'm independently working and studying math, it feels like art - like I'm making something and it tickles the creative side of my brain. In class it feels like the structured STEM course I initially signed up for.

It's a world of rules and structures people have carefully built over the millennium and you can add to it (if you can) or just walk around and observe and learn.

Analogously, learning mathematics, especially higher mathematics and even more so Algebra and Category Theory also feels like learning a new language. Working with it feels like writing poetry. Mathematics literature has a lot of the characteristic features of literature. There are many rules, but if you can break them, you are a mad genius!

I was talking to a professor and he told me about realising that he could read mathematics, granted it's not the same as picking up a story book, but there is this entire new world out there when you start reading mathematics. He also pulled up the linguistics definition of a language and said that perhaps mathematics is the only language with no exceptions in class once.

It is high time we also start boycotting everyone involved in this project.

all these arguments about the new harry potter casting but all i can think is that every person involved in the series has willingly signed up to work with such an outspoken transphobe

maths enjoyers and bug enjoyers and horror movie enjoyers and so forth all need to come together and unite against the common enemy of people telling you how much they hate something as soon as you mention you like it

Are all people who do functional analysis allergic to using im(T) and ker(T) to denote the image and the kernel of an operator T or is it just my lecturer?

How do I explain to my professor that me forgetting what an algebraic variety does not mean that I do not know what it is.

I was making a pb&j today and forgot that

1. I need bread for sandwich

2. What bread was......

(bluescreened, pretended to continue making the pbj and then realised peanut butter goes on bread usually)

To be fair, I was thinking pb&j and it didn't have the word sandwich in it to give me clues.

Every once in a while where decapitation seems like a much more tolerable idea than having a head on top of my neck

Ugh… headache. Head splitting migraine, even.

But like what's the fun if you don't get carpel tunnel

they should invent a hobby that doesn't require potentially destroying your wrists
