I think that’s healthy to promote respect among disciplines that don’t interface.
These days, I think too many people trained in STEM disciplines revile the humanities and social sciences. And sometimes vice versa.
Jfc, Jesse!
Ok, I’m curious. What kind of theory? What was it?
Because we all learn too that there are topics that speak to us and others that will continue to seem like dark arts (which I suspect your theory book will seem to me).
That is legit a *very* challenging read, (he says, as if he has fully engaged with the text).
Niiiice!
Did you assign him Thomas Nagel’s “What Is It Like to Be a Bat”?
I feel like I should be able to come up with things from my life but I’m coming up blank.
My favorite Rapaport moment was when he was on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune and just bombed a response. He knew it, but was so excited it was about Tiffany Haddish that he added “my girl” in front of her name, violating official rules. Sajak couldn’t give it to him.
The rhythm must be: “Bernoulli Bros. and Leibniz and Newton Circus.”
Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.
Yes, I realize steak usually means beef. The pun was too much to resist.
“Let them eat steak!”
As an American (and mathematician), I have had numerous people comment to me about how my silverware use was decidedly European. It’s just how I was raised, so I was confused the first few times.
I love how she cultivates the pause where she tries to hold back laughing at herself.
Are you aware of Mom’s Dad Jokes? (www.instagram.com/moms.dadjoke...)

I sometimes post funny math words that aren’t in the NY Times Spelling Bee, but this seems like an actual oversight.
That is decidedly important information!

But also, I’m glad there’s a space for explicating others’ work because that will always be necessary, however much we might hope it wouldn’t be.
And it’s super valuable!
I sometimes wonder if stuff like this is an artifact of trying to please reviewers when standing one’s ground is better. Maybe not in this case, but I’ve seen it in other cases (including my own).
The most effective second person narrative I’ve encountered is Italo Calvino’s If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler. But even that had to be uncomfortably aware of the awkwardness of it to make it work.

Oh that sounds like a distinct possibility. But frustrating that the ellipsis in that screen grab occurs right at the threshold in question.
Wait, by finiteness do you mean that there are only seven such numbers? If so, I’m with you: I have few intuitions, which I wouldn’t trust in this space.
Me too! (I also missed 1 on my first try, so there’s that 🤦♂️)
Yes that’s what I meant. To be specific, I think the seven numbers that satisfy the property are: 1, 2, 6, 12, 60, 360, 2520.
Please re-ask
Ok I finally came back to this. In light of the oeis link you posted, I think a way to phrase this is to say that only seven numbers n satisfy a_{n+1}(n) = 2*n for a_n in that oeis sequence, and 360 is one of them.
When I first started my job I kept hearing about people traveling to Rome (yay!), New York (boo!)
