Bitches love reblogging this post every Tuesday the 18th
the good news: you are capable of resilience and you can do things that you once thought were impossible
the bad news: you do have to try
that "OKAY SO" before someone u love starts infodumping........ most blessed feeling in the world
I think math teacher don't focus enough on history. Like, yeah, Abel results on the convergence of series are great and all, but did you know Cauchy hated Abel and is indirectly responsible for his death ?
Galois was a math wizard and died in a duel. But did you know he also was kind of a leftist, got thrown out of École Normale Supérieure because of that, joked about killing Louis Philippe and probably died because of that ?
Gauss is cool, but did you know he was saved by Sophie Germain, discovered at the same time Sophie Germain was a woman, and wrote one of the coolest letter blaming "our customs and prejudices" for not allowing women in math ?
Urysohn's lemma is cool, but did you did you know he tragically died while swimming with Alexandrov ? Oh, also they were both gay and in love. And later Alexandrov had a relation with Kolmogorov
There's tons of other stories, even minor ones (like how Italian mathematicians argued against some notations in vector calculus because they were used by Germans). Focusing only on how "abstract" and "pure" math is, is pedantic. Mathematicians, on the other side, are way funnier and not just lost in their abstract and complicated world
Finally some good fucking news
Me with my knots and string diagrams

peerless swordswoman: Justice demands that I valiantly challenge the Witch's BDSM Dungeon and rescue the girls kidnapped from your town, no matter what erotic torments I am subjected to. No matter how many times I am lashed by fierce wolfgirls, nor what kind of latex themed traps I am caught in, I shall not falter; not even if I am bound and ruthlessly electrostimmed by some kind of dragongirl mad scientist,
townsperson: Thank you, brave warrior, but everything's alright, no one's been kidnapped-
peerless swordswoman, fixing her make-up: Sorry, didn't catch a word of that.
