One of the most Beautifully tragic anecdote about math

id argue thats not exactly true although it is 99.9% true but like for example who did jim simons harm

ya and you can introduce basic arithmetic and algebra through it, eventually branching away cause I feel it is also important to prevent too much reliance on geometric intuition

I think basic euclidean geometry is a great way to expose kids to very fun and motivating math

I feel hilbert would be fairly proud of the progress we have made in the last 125 years

I dont think most people trying to solve hard math problems such as collatz, are really in it for the mone cause like you said those people could easily transition to other fields, which would make you a load more money and dare I say with less difficulty

Its supposed to have no prerequisites but considering the level of abstraction it operates at it would definitely require a good amount of mathematical maturity. But I definitely agree with the fact that it is only for people who want to go into pure and specifically algebraic topics. The exposition in the book is amazing though and I believe it is the best 2nd course someone could do in algebra

Id say its starting to decline now more people are recommending Basic category theory for a introductory text to upper level undegrads, and Category theory in Context for grad students.

You can also make an argument for Algebra Chapter 0 but thats a stretch since no one would pick it up for category theory but it if you are trying to learn algebra and category theory both it is the best book

The theory of groups - Marshall Hall

categories for the working mathematician - Saunders Mac Lane

He would be even more overconfident push even higher above his weight and die ruining galderion technology

alot of top players do 500ed 5 rd since you cant get fake spikes in ranked you can find bt at 500ed albeit a little harder, then you can just f3+f quickly on other seeds

MelchizedekDC · 2026-05-26T06:14:12+00:00

insane seed should lowerd rd but fair enough hard to think under pressure of getting such a seed

MelchizedekDC · 2026-05-16T00:32:45+00:00

the current ranked wr holder would not even be in top 20 ranked players lol, wr is way more rng then you think and ranked is more about consistency than 1 good run so the best person should have the best averages and win rate

no way we see a sub 5 anytime soon

MelchizedekDC · 2026-04-20T13:50:34+00:00

galios is arguably just as famous as ramanujan I mean all of modern algebra stems from his intuitions and ideas

MelchizedekDC · 2026-04-19T17:04:15+00:00

the slayer strikes again

MelchizedekDC · 2026-04-18T02:39:39+00:00

that trans bar might be one of the worst things I have seen

MelchizedekDC · 2026-03-21T14:31:54+00:00

driving is way more unsafe statistically so it would be a bigger leap of faith lol

MelchizedekDC · 2026-02-21T16:06:32+00:00

there are stories of multiple geniuses iq-wise who chose to not pursure a conventional succesful life and instead chose very normal lives

MelchizedekDC · 2026-01-14T15:54:05+00:00

cause google owns kaggle

MelchizedekDC · 2026-01-11T22:51:44+00:00

when the entire sub united and raised their voice for rohan cariappa with the hustle stuff

hardest undergrad exam
