What’s your favorite historical math fact?

I’m getting really into history of math, and when researching about it, there’s a lot of really interesting stories and people. Learning about how Euclid essentially laid the groundwork for modern mathematics using only geometry and logic is one of my favorite facts; or the famous story of W. R. Hamilton was walking with his wife and suddenly had a revelation that led to quarternions and non-commutative multiplication.

I know there’s a lot of fun stories like those out there, so what’s your favorite fact?

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Is there an (abstract) algebra of random variables?

I'm honestly not even sure how to Google this. We can do things like adding random variables, so there's distribution families which are closed under addition (eg binomial for fixed p is closed under addition). Is there a notion of a basis random variables for a family (eg Bernoulli(p) is enough to generate binomial (n,p), but sum(ai xi) for xi iid Bernoulli spans much more-- what I'm not sure).

Is there an area of probability where questions like these fit? An abstract algebra of random variables?

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚

Analysis of the physics in the MJ-12 documents

These documents are considered to be fakes but some such as Stanton Friedman have always contested that. I am not going to go into the arguments as to whether the documents are real or not here because it is more detective work than science. If you are convinced that they're bogus then feel free to ignore this post.

I however find the scientific descriptions of the alleged UFO characteristics to be intriguing for two reasons. Firstly because surprisingly there is no woo-woo, it is all grounded in mundane aerodynamics which is unusual for a UFO hoax. Secondly everything I can understand appears to make sense and is too obscure for a random hoaxer to have known or gone to the effort to research. Whoever wrote it would have had to have had some background in aeronautical engineering.

In this document https://majesticdocuments.com/pdf/rdlab_analyticalrpt2sept47.pdf it claims that the lack of rivets and visible joins is to reduce drag. This makes sense. I don't understand what c.) is trying to say in regard to Bernoulli's theorem however. d.) makes reference to NACA aerofoils which are a real and widely used family of aerofoils. Interestingly the NACA 23015 aerofoil looks similar to the profile of a B-2 (it's actual aerofoil is probably classified). Again the reduction of parasitic drag by removing protuberances is mentioned. "The induced drag lessens with the circular span inversely with the low aspect-ratio of the wing" appears to be stating that a circular wing has reduced induced drag (true) but induced drag is inverse to the aspect ratio (also true). Again. whoever wrote this clearly knows the difference between different forms of drag and what causes them.

in section e.) I don't know anything about seaplanes but it seems to go into a lot of detail about similarities to that. Of concern is the mention of computer controlled flight. Did they have any clue of such possibilities in the 1940s? Was the word computer even in use?

This document https://majesticdocuments.com/pdf/cia_oscurapeak.pdf Again reads like a standard aerodynamic research document. The assumptions made in their alleged attempts to come up with a hypersonic UFO model are pretty standard when setting up a potential flow mathematical model. "the viscosity of the fluid flow can be neglected", i.e inviscid flow. The flow is vortexless i.e irrotational and so forth. The Helmholtz laws are real, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz%27s_theorems I assume they are referencing the third the

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Seventh Sea Campaign story help

if you are part of the library and you are about to start a seventh sea adventure with our resident dm, please leave Isabella's secrets are none but her own.

so, I am building a character for seventh sea and she is a vodacce fate witch. She is also a courtier. Isabelle loves her first client Matteo, and he loves her. He is the only male she fully trusts, as most men in Vodacce are extremely sexist, using fate witches for their own gain, forcing women to wear black veils, and marrying them off as soon as they see a specific birth mark.

So, do I want Matteo to be married and love both of them. Isabella would know about his wife, but his wife wouldn't know about Isabella. Or, do I want him to not be married yet?

See, Matteo is part of a Noble family, the Bernoulli, so most likely he was married off to either a woman from another noble family, or another fate witch. However, maybe he is removed enough from the family that they do not consider him important enough to marry off at a young age, and then he would only have to love Isabella.

so... yeah. Married, or not married.
