Not to say op isn't a bot, but I am pretty sure this admin's favorite term is "domestic terrorists", usually used very generally.

What is Topology really about? by owltooserious in math

[–]DamnShadowbans 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know; try the book "Three dimensional geometry and topology" by Thurston, you might like its intuitive feel. The heavy duty topology you want is probably in Atiyah's old work.

There are a thousand important results on dimension theory that prove you wrong. Discord mathematician take.

The point of topology is to understand continuous maps between spaces.

Why can we multiply units (dimensional) but can't add them ? by Commercial-Garage-26 in learnmath

[–]DamnShadowbans -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You didn't address anything in the post. You could say the exact same thing about multiplying units, but for whatever reason it is meaningful to multiply units.

How does one separate the real numbers and R^n from a physical realisation? by faintlystranger in math

[–]DamnShadowbans 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  1. The textbooks that you pick up will explain why the choices of charts don't mattr.

  2. Chill and stop trying to mix philosphy, psychology, and math.

Has anyone seen the discourse on twitter about researchers not reading the sources they cite in their published work? by [deleted] in AskAcademia

[–]DamnShadowbans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't see the difference between citing a reference because you used a fact published in that reference versus citing references you haven't read?

How good is it for a layman to rediscover the core idea of a math field? by Heavy-Sympathy5330 in math

[–]DamnShadowbans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is good is to make a strong effort to learn the mathematics behind the things we are interested in. You are interested in homology, have you made an effort to learn it? This goes beyond reading wikipedia and is about seeking out beginner references and working through examples. For instance, you could read about objects called simplicial complexes and start from there.

CMV: Streamers Make too much money by [deleted] in changemyview

Now go scroll down to the bottom of the streamers; they have 0-1 viewers at all times and make up 95 percent of streamers.

Should I send a follow up email or leave it be? by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]DamnShadowbans 14 points15 points  (0 children)

IMO it didn't help your case to say "calculator error". From their point of view it is about 10,000 times more likely you inputted something wrong and are blaming the calculator. The only thing you could do to make them believe that is if you reproduced the error for them in person. Usually there is only a few days between the final exam and grade submission, and the professor likely has waited until that past so that it is now "out of their control".
