I’ve seen enough. … No, I don’t have an election call or anything, I just want to stop seeing any more new things in general.

I’d go so far as to say that grasping β€œinvariance under change of basis” as a threshold concept is what I want linear algebra to β€œreally” be about. For the math major audience at least.

Otherwise we’re just monkeying around with matrices πŸ˜‹

So they can marvel later that it's the sum of the eigenvalues! (And independent of basis!)

As a professor, providing accommodations doesn’t impact me at all, and it helps students out. The fact that anyone cares about this is baffling to me.

But then I remember that the country is currently run by eugenicist freaks and they’ve just found a new group to hound.

Buzzy UCSD Math Readiness Report Failed to Mention Calculator Ban Instead, the authors pinned the change on COVID-19 and an increase in low-income student enrollments. It’s unclear whether they knew about the calculator policy change.

From @emmawhitford.bsky.social: Turns out that UCSD report sounding the alarm on plummeting math readiness didn't mention the recent calculator ban for placement tests: www.insidehighered.com/news/student...

"Christians have to be pro-war. Christians have always had to be pro-war."

Oh really, Pastor, so most of your congregants ended up in eternal conscious torment prior to 1967?? Good to know.

The *recency* with which white Evangelical churches have reversed course on pretty major issues (Pacifism! Abortion rights!) informs why that movement doesn't like its adherents to learn about history
