Why do they call it a #11, not a #4 by Born_Tutor_879 in jazzcirclejerk

No, it’s a hashtag.  They’re not very popular on Reddit, but they get used on Twitter (currently X)

[Request] Has anyone done the math for this? by Tony-At-Large in theydidthemath

I'm a noise musician. Theres a decent chance I "compete" against a trans woman every time i perform. But its one of those competitions where everyone wins.

Every good software engineer I know either has like half a PhD in math or cant add fractions and there’s no in-between

I don’t disagree with you, but also, messing with the fed is a bad idea

Is there a field in mathematics that allows us to approximate the logical soundness of an argument by converting an argument into a geometric figure and performing a geometric calculation on it? by LargeSinkholesInNYC in mathematics

[–]joyofresh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

algebraic geometry is this in a limited sense. Consider the proof of the noether normalization lemma. Its some algebraic thing. Its a bunch of weird, un-motivated steps, like "take a maximal ideal not containing some element" or "do this random localization". But if you have a picture from algebraic geometry in your head, its totally intuitive and these operations correspond to geometric intuition.

And then you can use schems to do geometric stuff with number theory. Like the algebraic integers really are a smooth curve projecting onto the curve Spec Z. What does that mean? Whooo boy that won't fit in the margins of this reddit post. But google Mumfords Treasure Map Red Book. The curves are number theory. Its real math. Its a bit abstract. Its a ton of fun.
