You Guys Are Never Gonna Believe What The Name Of This Sculpture Is

fractal geometry RULES, I wanna makeout with a mathematician now

ive watched this so many times you don’t understand

David Tennant as Phileas Fogg from Around the World in 80 Days (Episode 6) …because you can see him going through multiple stages of grief in just those few seconds

for Tennant Tuesday (or whatever day this post finds you)

I was dicking around in polar coordinates last night and I found something... extensible.

r = sqrt(sec(2θ)), an ordinary hyperbola. One of the five conic sections. In Cartesian coordinates x^2 = y^2 + 1.

r = sqrt(sec(3θ)), a triperbola :)

And now here's r = sqrt(sec(aθ)) for some other values of a:

a = [1/2 2/7 6/1 5/2 3/5 5/9]

Looks like we can't reflect, rotate, translate our way out of this one boys.

i…. i love it… λ 🥲

is this a valid notation? i wish it were, ill definitely be using it

What’s the worst thing about limits?

• Is it always having to amplify by the conjugate to eliminate indeterminate forms? NO.

• Is it having to learn some limits by heart (especially for trig functions)? NO.

• Is it having to sometimes use L’Hôpital-Bernoulli’s rule over and over again? NO.

• Is it having to just write “lim” before each line? YES. FUCKING YES. WHY OH GOD WHY I HATE THE NOTATION.

The most infuriating part of it is that it’s just a notation and it could so easily be changed, BUT NO, we’re stuck with this shit.
