25 XII 2022

this chunk of the semester is finally over, sweet jesus I'm so exhausted. I'm getting the well-deserved rest and later catching up with all the things I put on my to-do list that I kinda learned but not really

the test I had last week went fine. frankly I expected more from it after solving more than 50 problems during my prep, but I scored 74%, which is objectively great and more than I predicted after submitting my solutions

here is my math plan for the break:

in algebraic methods I started falling behind a few weeks ago when I missed two lectures while being sick. they were about resolutions, derived functors and group homology and afterwards I wasn't really able to stay on top of my game like before. high time to get back on track. in commutative algebra I was doing ok, but there are some topics I neglected: finite and integral maps and Noether's normalization. for complex analysis everything is great until we introduced the order of growth and recently we've been doing some algebraic number theory, which btw is a huge disappointment. don't get me wrong, I understand the significance of Riemann's ζ, but the problems we did all consisted of subtle inequalities and a lot of technical details. I am doing mainly algebraic stuff to avoid these kind of things lol

when we were doing simplicial sets I stumbled upon some formulas for the simplicial set functor and its geometric realization and I thought it to be a nice exercise to probe them, so here it is:

I won't know if this proof actually works until I attend office hours to find out, but I am satisfied with the work I put into it

I already started making some notes on the derived functors

other than that I have this nice book that will help me prepare for writing my thesis, so I'd like to take a look at that too

as for the non-math plans, I am rewatching good doctor. my brain has this nice property that after a year has passed since finishing a show I no longer remember anything, the exponential distribution is relatable like that. this allows endless recycling of my favourite series, I just need to wait

I wish you all a pleasant break and I hope everyone is getting some rest like I am

mathematicians, constantly: god I’m so tired of people telling me how much they hate math whenever i mention what im into

me: yeah it’s fucked up. i do probability theory, what about you

them: oh man I hate probability theory

at some point I was wondering what about the researcher publishing their paper in an expensive journal and it turns out that the author does not make a lot of money from that, so it really is about fucking this exploitative system and not doing any substantial harm to the researcher, if anyone was worrying like I was

so the test I had today, our professor went crazy with grading it and we all had our scores by midnight

I don't think I ever scored 100% before, but here it is

I was insanely lucky. yesterday I was watching some series (and by that I mean Young Royals, not Fourier) and I had a thought you know might as well give them elliptic functions a quick read. today one of the easy problems required to only know the basic definitions and properties, have I not spent those 40 minutes reading I would probably not solve it. the other easy problem was solved by picard's theorems, my favourite, which I tried to use with every given opportunity so now it's as they say: when your only tool is a hammer every problem looks like a nail. and today it actually was a nail. two other problems were just objectively easy and the last one took a lot of my time but it was "my type" of problems, so I enjoyed working on it and I had some good ideas thanks to solving about 20 similar problems before

so that's how it feels to reach above my goals. I dreamt of this moment and it feels exactly like I thought it would. ah feels good man

I love reading stuff on abstract geometry because there'll be some extremely complicated construction of abstract polytopes that takes up like two full pages

and the first example is this

and you're like "wow that's a cube :)"

and then the next example is this

I’m Christian and respect the order of creation as God intended it but I’m not gonna lie if I could take a massive vat of agar and grow an alive shopping mall made out of red blood and meat and feed it living human bodies to make it expand larger with more shops and amenities, Without hesitation, Without question I would do exactly that
