I actually hate linear algebra
Someone kill me now
Doing calculus without having a math background is such a flex
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.

just discovered the site “underground mathematics”, and only now i feel like ive entered the dark web of maths. spooky.
talking about web, i cant forget to mention the fact that the whole site and mathematics is organised along TUBE LINES like the LONDON UNDERGROUND !! now if that isn’t a graph theory reference i dont know what is!
I love the fact that it’s commonly believed the writer (and mathematician!) Lewis Carroll could have done a math diss on quaternions, their unintuitive multiplication and their non-commutative nature in the Mad Hatter scene in “Alice in Wonderland”.
“Why, you might just as well say that I see what I eat is the same thing as I eat what I see !”
