Not that anybody asked, but the last time the @NYKnicks won a championship, the Periodic Table had 11-percent fewer Elements.

@TheMathFlow 1 (a+b)^1
1 2 1 (a+b)^2
1 3 3 1 (a+b)^3
1 4 6 4 1 (a+b)^4
1 5 10 10 5 1... (a+b)^5

@pfitzart Yes, great use case for the coefficients of such identities.

This mind-bending animation is based on the Haberdasher’s Puzzle, discovered in 1902 by Ernest Henry Dudeney, one of Britain’s greatest recreational mathematicians.
He first published it in the Daily Mail, framing it as a whimsical story: a haberdasher (a dealer in sewing goods) is given a piece of valuable cloth shaped like an equilateral triangle. He needs to cut it into a perfect square for a customer using the fewest cuts possible and without wasting a single thread.
Dudeney shocked the mathematical world by proving it could be done in just four pieces. Even more amazingly, he proved the pieces could be hinged together at their corners, forming a continuous chain that opens as a triangle and closes into a square.

@signulll Just go through my profile, it speaks for itself. :)

Ever wondered how 3D objects spin smoothly in games, animations, or even real-world robotics?
This is the magic behind it!
Meet the rotation matrices that control how things twist around the X, Y, and Z axes.
From video games to spacecraft navigation, these rotations power the invisible math that makes our digital world feel real.
