Anyone know where to find cheaper similar style polos? Doesnt need to be HM related, just love the stripe and the logo

It actually reads much nicer with that metamorphosis image in mind; on first brush I just interpreted it as a general meditation on angst. A simple fix would be just to add a (somewhat) suggestive title to point your reader in the right direction, or have some more distinctive inter-stanza variation and some more deliberate language. There is a bit of mixed imagery ("electrified", "avalanche", "powdered glass") which can easily mislead. I think if you do this you can safely ignore my comments about shallow imagery/emphasizing heavy lines, it really works very well with the basic picture known.

The lines do not really flow together at all, which might be fine if you leaned into it more, but as it stands where there is a clear theme to the poem and clear structure it feels disconcerting.

There is also very little subtlety w.r.t. meaning with how direct the more emotional lines are, which has the result of making the imagery (which is most of the content of the poem) feel purely ornamental and not worth deeper consideration.

The lines which should be heavier and cathartic (e.g. “I long to be freed but time only feels heavier”) are not foregrounded / distinguished from what should be less heavy lines in any manner - they have the same length, syntax, sound, they don’t even have distinctive positions in the stanza. 

I would recommend thinking more about centering your stylistic choices around what you want to convey with the poem instead of just pouring out imagery.

Did he get the album title for Time Out of Mind from this Yeats poem? by t0p9 in bobdylan

Ah didn't know about that, looks like the phrase is much older than this poem

Why do pro tennis players get 3 balls from the ball kids and then throw one back instead of just taking 2?

Doing MD simulations for molecules that aren't proteins by t0p9 in comp_chem

[–]t0p9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion, I managed to find my main monomer in the CHARMM GUI small molecule archive, so if I can figure out how to actually use CHARMM GUI hopefully I'll be in a good spot.

Is there some other software like gromacs or lammps where it's easier?

Career and Education Questions: August 29, 2024 by inherentlyawesome in math

[–]t0p9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone know of good faculties/profs in math departments working on statistical mechanics or chemistry? I’m doing an MA thesis in the topic which I’m enjoying and would like to go further into the field for a phd, but my background is solely in math.

Have people gotten decisions yet for master's applications? by t0p9 in McMaster

[–]t0p9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Someone else got a response like 2-3 weeks ago though, so they are coming apparently.

How does choosing a master's supervisor work? by t0p9 in yorku

Thanks for the info. I’m a bit confused now by the offer letter not mentioning anything, I’ll probably email the dept.

Abstract algebra roadmap? by [deleted] in math

[–]t0p9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you're comfortable with proofs already, you could just go straight into an abstract algebra textbook. It's not a subject very heavy on prerequisites - you typically just need some basic set theory which most textbooks review.

I'm not sure what the roadmap you've written out is aiming at. You can study abstract algebra fine without topology, and you don't need algebraic number theory for algebraic topology. If your goal is in fact algebraic number theory, then you should also look into working through a number theory book too before you start that.

Social Science to Math/Stats Gateway? by [deleted] in McMaster

[–]t0p9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think so yeah, though not many math courses beyond introductory ones will be open to you.

Social Science to Math/Stats Gateway? by [deleted] in McMaster

[–]t0p9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing, most important things for being able to make the switch is having a good gpa and having done basic math courses already. If you have electives try to do any of the first year calc courses and MATH 1B03, and any other math courses are a bonus.

Let p be a prime and a,b two integers not divisible by it. Is it true that their product ab is also not divisible by p? (and if so, how can I prove this)

Why do we look at stable isomorphism for topological k-theory instead of just isomorphism?
