Lists of mathematics topics Puns

Can I write about the lyrics of a song? Does that fit into poetry, or should I play it safe with something more science based

Hi guys, I am an undergraduate student in theoretical math and I feel I’ve gathered some expertise in the following topics:

-Graph Theory

-Combinatorics

-Abstract Algebra

-Real Analysis

-Discrete Mathematics

-Linear Algebra

These are the main topics that I am confident in. As I stated, I am a student in theoretical math. However, I can probably help you with the following:

-Calculus 1 and 2

-low level statistics problems

-Basic vector calc problems

-Algebra 1, 2, or precalc

-geometry

The rates are as follows:

Simple problems: $0.50

Nontrivial problems: $1.00

Difficult problems: $2.00

Very difficult problems: $3.50

I will first request that you send me the problem so that I can determine if I can solve it. If I cannot solve it myself, I will tell you that I can’t help you. From there, I will determine its difficulty level, and I will tell you what I think the difficulty is before we proceed (you can negotiate since the price is reliant on the difficulty level, but we must agree on a price before I tutor you).

NOTE: I will not give you the answer. I will help you come to the answer yourself, and will nudge you in the right direction.

Please let me know if you need help!

For example a geometry list that lists chords, right angles, different rules you need to know for geometry, etc?

The area of mathematics which interests me most is Geometry and Probability because of so many good concepts it is easier to remember i can easily relate the things with the physical world.

Hey guys!! I need to take a math course and pick something ASAP before add/drop is over. I’ve narrowed it down to these two classes:

The Liberal Arts Math class sections that are open are with Professors Sequin, Vaksman, and Arias. While the Math of Money class sections that are still open are with Roemer and O’Halloran.

Has anyone taken either of these classes with any of these teachers? I know the professor makes all the difference, so it definitely matters who I’d be taking the class with.

If anyone wouldn’t mind sharing their experience, what the teachers and course work is like, and anything else I’m missing, I’d really appreciate it.

Thank you!!!!! :))))

I’m naturally curious on what mathematical subject initially started your guy’s journey. The subject that sparked my love for math was Set Theory and the study of Large Cardinals. Before I knew about Set Theory, I really didn’t like math at all until I was meet with the concept of infinity. It lead me to discover Set Theory, Large Cardinals, and the other areas of pure math that I now learn with great interest.

Hi everyone. My maths methods class has a probability assignment, and they're keen to collect as much data as possible to apply various distributions to. So I thought I'd share their surveys here. Topics include - time you go to sleep, whether you like pineapple on pizza, and how many siblings you have. Each survey should take less than a minute. It would be greatly appreciated:

Edit - the second question on the second survey is supposed to be "sleep" not "steep." I think a lesson in proofreading is on the cards...

1. If the MOASS weren't a strong possibility, and we're so dumb, why would all those smart people at Blackrock, Vanguard, and other sizeable financial institutions continue to add to their positions consistently throughout the year?

2. If there were no real risk of a systemic financial meltdown, wouldn't every financial regulatory board implemenring a barrage of targeted rules & regulations surrounding the subject of a "major market event" this year just be a huge waste of resources, rushed without reason?

3. Where was the sudden concern this year from the people in-the-know about people's investments in 2007 leading up to the housing market crash?

4. Why has AMC moved in virtual lockstep with a select few, heavily-shorted stocks with completely different fundamentals, independently from those fundamentals, for nearly a full year now?

5. If the shorts were in control, why has AMC not gone bankrupt already?

6. If the movies are a dying industry, how could a comic book film released during a pandemic wherein people are afraid to even leave their homes to go grocery shopping hold its own against the revenue generated from any other movie released in prior years?

7. If we didn't sell when the share price was at $8 or when it was $70+, what makes the shorts think we'll sell when it's at $28?

8. If short positions are reported voluntarily, why would anyone voluntarily expose themselves by showing their full hand?

9. If naked shorting weren't possible, how is a Failure To Deliver possible?

And last but not least:

10. Have the shorts covered?

Help me make a list of things to remember/learn

In Spring 2021 there will be a topics course in mathematics which looks at the mathematical ideas of juggling; which really focuses on the mathematics of discrete periodic patterns (if you want it to sound sophisticated). I am hoping to drum up some interest for people to take the course.

Things to know about the course:

• Steve Butler is teaching the course.
• It is a math course, so while some practical aspects of juggling will be talked about, the focus will be on mathematics as motivated through the study of patterns. If you are interested in learning how to juggle you should participate in the juggling club, or petition the kinesiology department to develop a juggling course.
• Don't let the "4" at the start of "495" scare you off, the assumptions of background materials is basic mathematics (proofs and a bit of matrices). Highly motivated students who have finished calculus for example will be able to take the course.
• For those who want a little deeper dive into the material there will be supplemental lectures that go into more material, but they will be optional.
• The course will be taught "online", primarily asynchronously, with some synchronous help hours and some few others. There will be weekly "quizzes" with many attempts and people will be able to work together.
• It is a 1 credit course; the time commitment is at most 90 minutes per week. Put in the time and you will pass! We can increase enrollment if there is interest, so we can get you into the course.
• A recent talk about math of juggling to give an idea of level of what to expect at the beginning (difficulty level will go up as the semester goes on, but we will get smarter as well).

Especially Real/Complex Analysis, Calculus of variations, Operator Theory, Differential Geometry, Distribution Theory and Equations of mathematical physics

When I try to google it, I indeed find some results, but I have to pay like 40$ to unlock a PDF showing me the unsolved problems of a given branch of Mathematics. It's frustrating

Quick disclaimer: If I miss some post, memo, discussion, etc that you think is important to what we're discussing, please share!

Nexon, I don't believe you. I don't think anyone does. I do not believe that you are actually going to deliver on your promise to communicate more transparently and address the vast burning questions of the community.

I'm going to try and focus on just what I remember / feel, but I think that the sentiment I may echo here will be felt by others.

If you've been playing for awhile, you probably know what I'm talking about. In case you don't, I'm talking about the promises of improving, but never actually following through.

History to Today

On April 6th, Nexon posted this Maple Memo about the Mechanical Hearts issues. In the post, they also promised they'd communicate more openly and often with players.

4 months later, they came out with this announcement of the Pink Bean Bulletin! Wowee! 4 months for them to tell us they'll start communicating... Okay....

And here we are, exactly 2 months later and there's still no word on the issues the community cares about.

Issues

Just a few off the top of my head:

• Cube and flame rates
• Pottable badges (I've seen posts saying they've addressed this before, but I hear it mentioned often so...)
• Kishin vs Totem issue
• Channel Lag
• (my opinion) Increased DC and Mem Leak Crash rate of the recent patch
  • Mushroom Shrine MVPs in Reboot are awful now, they never used to be this bad.
• Events ever returning? (E.g: Lords of Darkness)

Here's a post I found that's talking about this, I'm sure there's more.

Communication Improvement... where is it? - 3 months ago

Coppersan has a wonderful rant on it, I linked it here at the correct time.

Conclusion

The goal of this post is not to demonize Nexon America, or to say that they've only messed up. It's to criticize their empty promises and lack of taking meaningful steps towards delivering on what is arguably the community's biggest desire.

Nexon, stop hiding behind empty promises. Give us a specific date of when you will address the community's burning topics.

I am an Electrical Engineer that does Guidance, Navigation, and Control for an aerospace/defense company. I was wondering what are the prerequisites for learning the fundamentals of aerodynamics. I have taken many physics classes, but obviously most of those are related to electricity and magnetism. It seems the only courses I have taken that help with aerodynamics is math and physics I (newtonian physics).

I'm curious what concepts does one need to know before attempting to learn the fundamentals of aerodynamics?

As a note: I do plan on eventually obtaining a masters in aerospace engineering, but for now, I am just wanting to learn only the concepts that are truly necessary for learning aerodynamics (fundamentally at least).

Thank you!

Mathematics is already a pretty hard topic to write a book on, unless it's a textbook directed towards school or university students.

Exceptions usually exist only for some very specific topics that happens to be appealing to a general audience, such as prime numbers of the Fibonacci sequence. Very rarely do these books approach more complicated ideas, though admittedly some do when these ideas are deemed "exoteric" or philosophical (e.g. non-Euclidean geometries, or Godel's incompleteness theorem). But if someone wanted to find a popular book on—say—ring theory, you wouldn't find a single thing.

But are there really not any topics from higher mathematics that can actually be explained in simple terms (even just to give an intuition of the bigger picture), in such a way that a general audience would actually be able to understand and enjoy the book?

I want to review all the topics tested in those NBME’s as part of my last week of prep.

Is mathematics invented by humans as a language to communicate ideas alone, or is it existing somewhere waiting for us to discover it?

The problem with this question for me is that the topic has never been collected into a central location. No book. No website, no e-zine, no blog seems dedicated to it. We have only a mish-mash of interviews and article scattered about the internet as the "resource" on the topic. I link a few of these scattershot sources ,

• Gregory Chaitin weighs in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RLdSvQ-OF0

• Eugene Wigner weighs in https://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/~v1ranick/papers/wigner.pdf

• Nominalism at Stanford https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/nominalism-mathematics/

I imagine that there would be a book that covers all the ideas the history of this topic. While standing in the shower, I thought the front cover flap would say something like :

> The question of mathematical Platonism seemed, at first glance, to be resolved during the Enlightenment , when Empiricism emerged as an alternative to supplant Greek Rationalism. Greek Rationalism had existed for centuries by the time of the Enlightenment centuries of the 17th and 18th. Throughout the 19th century, it was naturally assumed that Greek Rationalism was a relic of a more "mystical" time. In the interview above, mathematician Gregory Chaitin derides the idea that math exists as being both "theological" and "medieval". However, discoveries in the 20th century in the foundations of mathematics , and in physics and cosmology, showed that the question of mathematic's ontological status, is neither clear nor simple.

This book should steer heavy on the history of science and the history of math, and have pages upon pages of bibliography for those who want to dig in a different direction. Where is this book? Does it exist ?

(just an update: We are still working on getting the survey results analyzed and in a format that's easy for us to interpret and use for decision making. You will get the results and access to the non-freeform answers! But while we wait on that data we'd like to take care of this:)

Hi gang!

In light of some of the madness we encountered this past year, we thought it might be helpful for the sub to have a dynamic "Stale Topics" list thread. This is partly inspired by the lists on r/taylorswift and r/popheads. Taylorswift. Popheads.

Please submit ideas for post ideas/topics that are overused, overdiscussed, pointless, etc. that deserve to be barred, even if just for a short while. Some below are possible ones we're mulling over, but nothing is set in stone yet, so feel free to share your thoughts on the possibilities.

(generally we're much more likely to include specific kinds of posts than large categories. Something like "All pickle posts" is so broad we probably aren't going to ban it altogether, but if there's a specific kind or even image of it that comes up way too much we'll be more likely to consider it).

Specific topics:

• How much did Anna know
• Will Anna divorce Josh
• Which Duggar will break free next
• Where can I watch episodes of the show
• What will Josh's sentence be

Specific social media posts:

• That's my emotional support eldest daughter
• Everytime a man sins God pushes his hairline back
• Imagine if people cared more about their kids being a pedophile than being gay

General memes:

• Rename all the Duggars but with a different starting letter
• The dream I had about the Duggars
• Tarot readings
• Astrology analysis
• Look what my husband/boyfriend/family member texted me about the Duggars
• Faceswap, Jib Jab, etc. of the Duggars

Do you have any recomendations on areas or maybe books, courses etc ? I understand that APL can be used as a alternative mathematical notations and it is usefull for maths in general, but I am specifically interested in other way around - what parts from mathematics give best return on time spent to get better in APL for day to day programming.

And also are books on algorithms and data structures like CLRS or Algorithms Design Manual usefull for APL or J (I am mainly interested in J). I am under impression that J does a lot of optimisations by iteself, but having good order and choice of verbs is still very important.
