#who invented math

[bruciemilf]

if I had any kind of artistic prowess, I’d draw Clark with a mild ‘I’m about to wreck shop’ smile, grabbing at his hair, glasses halfway down his nose while helping Jon and Damian with their math homework.

“Pa, they want us to do it THIS way-“

“BUDDY. MATH IS M A T H.”

#calling Bruce like ‘ they invented a math that isn’t MATHING’ #Superman’s one weakness? 4th grade algebra #dc #dc comics #clark kent #damian wayne #jon kent #I feel like dami and Jon invent formulas on the spot bc Clark cusses in like. extremely funny ways #‘who the hecking hell invented this darn numbers’ #‘I’ll be damned as a senator I do not get this’ #text

hot girls think they can do math and then get to the next problem and then they can’t

it’s me

i’m hot girls

#math fucking sucks #who invented math #i’m gonna fight that motherfucker

I live for their dynamic duo

#idk if I just hc but isn't aira like emo or some shit #like he's an emo who loves idols so he's like me when I was teen #so I don't know if I made up in my head that he's a bad student who doesn't care about school stuff #obvi he likes idol classes but I imagine during any business maths science he just powers down and thinks about idols #meanwhile hiiro has learned the joys of going to school #idk what is up w his past tbh I've invented so much bs idk what the truth is #aira has at least one time shouted at Hiiro for having nicer eyelashes than him #bc being emo means u need those thick lashes trust me #hiiro is just so happy to be here guys #aira is like 52 mentally drinking monster in the middle of class bc he's dying every day (but he loves his idol job) #i think I have invented an unreal aira in my head but man I love my kids #these two? so good in my soul they rly hit me where it's right #enstars #ensemble stars #learning to draw the enstars cast so I can scribble them a bit #amagi hiiro #shiratori aira #aira shiratori #hiiro amagi #art #doodle #scribble #fanart #i dyed my hair dark again but I already miss being red and matching bestie hiiro #watch me dye back to red again #i do it every time #i get bored of red and change and then go I'M SAD #red is my colour fr #if u read these tags what are u doing here bestie? ily tho #hiiai

What inspired u to get a degree in math just curious now :) :0

i've always been really good at math. for some reason, it comes extremely naturally to me. i chalk it up to genes and also my environment. i was fortunate enough to have 2 very present parents in my life that really valued education, so not only was i reading at an early age, but any time we travelled, we would do math flashcards in the car.

i was told that university courses would be difficult, so i braced for math to get harder. but it never really did. like yes, i had to do homework and study for tests, but i never had to work to understand something, it always just clicked. i think i'm simply hardwired for math. and i really love it. it makes so much sense to me, and it's almost beautiful the way a lot of complex mathematics works. it's like you're tapped into the universe and it's speaking about the mysteries of existence, and you learn to listen and speak back.

#theres a sense of comfort that comes with it. there's a right answer. there's a reason its the way it is. #but im also petty as all get out. and i enjoy the challenge of it. and i do selfishly relish in understanding difficult things #my brain gets a kick out of knowing things. especially math. #and ive now learned. many years later #that i have adhd. but we never realized because i just hyperfocused on school. and i played a bunch of sports. #so i had been sort of self-medicating because exercise can help. especially with a mild case. and since i was so interested in school #i was always an excellent student (who procrastinated like nobodys business bc i would challenge myself by inventing a time crunch) #like i wouldn't even talk to my friends in class. it was all work all the time. we're here for school not to talk. #math is predictable and regular and rhythmic #thank you for asking!! #c.text #answered

Nothing pisses me off more than when people talk about my friendships with mid-support needs autistics and other people with differently-wired brains as if I am descending to help them because I’ve taken them on as a charity case. That is NOT true. Oh they’re a burden because they’re neurodivergent? WELL GUESS FUCKING WHAT: SO AM I! THE REASON I HAVE SO MANY FRIENDS WITH SO MUCH SHIT WRONG WITH THEM IS BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF SHIT WRONG WITH ME. WE ATTRACT EACH OTHER! WE LIKE EACH OTHER! IT’S NOT THAT FUCKING HARD TO UNDERSTAND!

#How about I just start strangling ableists from now on? #Would THAT convince them I’m actually this person’s real friend? #Literally nothing I say to them is able to get through their dense fucking skulls— #as if it’s sooooo hard for them to believe I actually enjoy their company #Also (halfway unrelated): if I hear “It takes a special person to work with special children” one more time I am going to SCREAM #Tell me I’m calm; tell me I’m patient; tell me I’m creative— do NOT tell me I’m “special” for doing a job I LOVE #Can you imagine telling a quantum physics major “It takes a special person to solve special math problems?” #😂💀 WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. I’m gonna start saying that to people from other professions. To see how they like it. #The children are not a burden to me; the children are very enjoyable to be around #and I enjoy troubleshooting what is preventing them from learning and coming up with workarounds for them #I made a glued roll of paper for a kid who constantly peels their skin because I saw them peeling crayons #It works! #I made math problems into a Skibidi Toilet role playing game for another kid who hides under tables when it’s time to work. It works! #You know why I was able to come up with either of these inventions? Huh? You wanna fucking know? #1.) I peel my lips and mouth and palms of my hands and calluses and cuticles and scabs; and #2.) I have awful executive dysfunction and have to do weird stuff to engage myself #People talk to me like I’m one of the “normal” ones; little do they know I’m getting assessed for ADHD and score 142 on the RAADS-R #and I essentially self-destruct when I get mad so I don’t break valuable items or punch through drywall and oak doors #I give myself bruises that swell a half inch high and form hematomas under the skin #I think I’ve permanently weakened the blood vessels and a vein in my right thigh from beating it so much #because it only takes one well-placed blow on my right; but several blows to my left #And I can see the bruise pooling towards my heart along the path of that vein from day to day after the initial beating #and sometimes it just randomly aches when it’s not injured; so I have to shift my weight when the kids sit in my lap wrong #so with that and something else I did to it not super recently that I should have gone to urgent care for… I probably have nerve damage lol #so it’s gross when people say such things about other NDs to me as if I am above them #Just fuck off already

Other people: get drunk, and have fun?—I don’t actually know what normal people do when they drink.

What I do, is have entire conversations with astrophysicists (Neil Degrasse Tyson) in my head about the mathematical properties of black holes.

Ok, so look, but why are black holes mathematically classified as spheres? Don’t turning objects get flatter? I figure planets are still sphere-ish because they just don’t turn fast enough/aren’t dense enough. But black holes? Guys, we need to figure this out.

I know black holes gotta be spinning—they were once spinning suns! And we’re seeing the light from behind them, so it’s gotta be spinning.

Is it like an infinitely dense still point surrounded by spinning junk? But isn’t that also considered part of the black hole? Where does the black hole start and end? The event horizon I know gotta be spinning, so is that part a flat disk? It’s the quintessential knowledge point of black holes: black holes contain an event horizon, but if they’re not the outer layer of a spherical they’re not part of the black hole vis a vis mathematics definition.

Why. Are. Black. Holes. Spheres. Help.

maths tutoring on a saturday morning sucks !!!

i could’ve been sleeping right now but instead i’m doing geometry. i’m gonna cry

#maths suck #wtf is this shit #who invented maths #i need sleep

[vanishingcherry]

i need someone to seduce me

#im going crazy doing homework #i want to cry #who invented math and how do i kill them

[sully0-0]

I'm crying

I can't remember how to do freaking DERIVATIVES!!!!!!

“shareholder meeting” “hedge fund” “hostile takeover” “stock value” thank fucking god i have someone who knows what the fuck these things mean and is willing to explain them to me in a three hour long conversation in the middle of the night ❤️

#succession #look i could look them up myself but it's SO much more adhd friendly to talk to someone who knows wtf they're saying #this post dedicated to my ex fiance who spent three and a half hours patiently explaining what the fuck any of these things mean #so that now i can explain it much more concisely and eli5 version to the person who i will make watch this show #he gave me at least the eli6 version lmfao i needed the eli5 version #its ok i'm a Slow Kid and because i'm a Slow Kid it took me much longer to understand things #BUT also because i'm a Slow Kid i have the ability to explain things in the most basic sense ever invented #fuck i'm a math phd student and i taught someone calculus from the beginning i'm SO great at explaining complicated shit to newbies #no one's reading these tags i'm just talking to myself at this point #anyways thank you david ily \pl #david #ih #misc

Stochastic is my mortal enemy analysis for the win woooo

#depressed maths major in her way to kill the guy who invented stochastics 👆👆👆 #im a woman in stem but at what costtt #i hate it here #i made that meme like a month ago for the group chat (we are all suffering)

[be-good-to-bugs]

i dont WANNA go to work >:(

#the bin #hhhhhh. who invented jobs anyway? this is stupid. whats even the point :/ #i hate having to go to bed at a good time or work skeep deprived #i wanna sleep at 7pm and then 4am and then 2pm and then 6am and not gave any big consequences #hhhhh #i need to do the math on what this months pay is supposed to be which i can do once ny next schedule is made up and if its pretty good #then im gonna request like 10 days off

As a side note when I was 7 I cut up clear plastic and taped it to my glasses and hand crafted a fully working microscope from it in under an hour because I was an actually home-brewed self-made inventor of my era. After that I gain improved sight, didn't need glasses anymore, and could actually see cellular division and DNA itself anytime I wanted.

I also got to wear blue bugs bunny band aids on my cut up fingers because I actually tore the plastic I used for my microscope with my unfathomable super strength.

[wannabreakfromtheass]

Not to be controversial but if Isaac Newton was around today I'd bend his bitchass over a counter and teach him not to invent new kinds of math

[chungledown-bimothy]

I cannot overstate how much I love Tom Lehrer's story. It sounds so fake but is entirely real.

He's a goddamn genius- he started studying mathematics at Harvard when he was 15 and graduated magna cum laude. He worked at Los Alamos for a few years before being drafted and working for the NSA, where he claims to have invented jello shots to get around alcohol bans.

He then went back to Harvard for a couple years before starting to teach political science at MIT.

Through all of that, he was writing and performing both some of the funniest shit you'll ever hear (Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, Masochism Tango) and absolutely scathing political satire (Who's Next, Wernher von Braun, Send the Marines). Until the mid/late 60s counterculture gained momentum. He didn't like their aesthetic, so he stopped making music.

Shortly after, he moved to California and started teaching math and musical theater history at UC Santa Cruz for the next 30 years.

I don't know if non-Californians understand just how goddamn funny that is. It's where stoners and math (and now computer science) kids who couldn't get into Berkeley go. Leaving Harvard/MIT for UCSC is peak academic phoning it in. And by all accounts he had a blast.

Plus the whole putting all of his music in the public domain thing. That fucked.

#tom lehrer #sorry ik this is long and no one cares but kissinger eating it has me listening to his music again #and i just. fuckign love him

[cryptotheism]

I hope this doesn't come off as disrespectful, because I'm genuinely curious, but like...is alchemy "real"? Because the way you speak about it is how I wish I could, myself, appreciate it and you're the closest I've ever found to a real world wizard which excites me a great deal. I totally respect if for you it's actually just an interesting academic study without intention, I'm just curious for how you view it in that lens.

No that's a good question!

Short answer: Yes, as in alchemists were real people who could actually do cool shit sometimes, but they weren't actually transmuting lead into gold, you need a particle accelerator for that.

In the 4th century, you weren't a scientist, that word hadn't been invented yet. You were a Natural Philosopher. You studied everything from the stars, to mathematics, to medicine, to the nature of herbs and stones.

In the medieval era, you weren't an astronomer, you were an astrologer. Telling people's horoscopes involved a lot of astronomical math. There wasn't really a difference between astronomy and astrology.

In the renaissance era, you weren't a chemist. The term chemist didn't exist yet. You were an alchemist. You tried to make gold sometimes, but you also manufactured dyes, glass vessels, cosmetics, paints, and medicines. You were kind of a whitesmith, and a glass-blower, and a doctor, and sometimes just a con-man.

Alchemy and chemistry have a relationship similar to Astrology and Astronomy. But, don't think of alchemy as just "Chemistry with magic." Alchemy is the father of modern chemistry. It is the cocoon that chemistry sprouted out of.

The thing is, alchemy is more "real" than astrology is. You know what a common use of astrology was in the medieval era? Diagnosing diseases. You'd check someone's horoscope to determine what medicine to give them. This didn't work. A medieval astrology textbook isn't going to be useful for diagnosing why your stomach hurts.

But!

Medieval alchemy texts are actually useful sometimes. If you want to dye some copper so it looked more like gold, there are alchemy texts that can tell you how to do that. If you want to distill the mercury out of some cinnabar, alchemists could do that. They didn't really know how or why that worked, but they could do it! If you want a potion that could make you immortal, the alchemists could make a philter of mercury and lead that would definitely 100% kill you and it would hurt the whole time you were dying. You can't win em all.

Im writing about the history of alchemy on my patreon if you wanna support me!
