I primarily use twitter for news. I won't tweet much, but I'll try to keep it to valuable info and ideas. Sometimes I'll argue in the comments.

@romanhelmetguy I just wonder why we're all still calling her work a "translation" and not what it really is, a reinterpretation. One with a clear agenda and bias.
English
I’ve successfully shifted the discourse about Emily Wilson’s translation on here by academics from “It’s great” to “Ok so she takes a ton of liberties and makes many questionable choices and I don’t personally like it, but translation is hard, and I really hate RHG.” Progress.

why would anyone even press blue?!?
Tim Urban@waitbutwhy
Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

@TPAction That was proposed by a single senator; it's not accurate to say it was introduced by Democrats.
English
Democrats introduced a bill to end birthright citizenship in 1993
Now Democrats call it “extreme”
So… what changed?

@ninja_maths Can you clarify the distinction in practice? Do you mean the student ought to understand the why of each step?
English
Worked examples are not “hand-holding.”
They are often the fastest way to learn new mathematics well.
The point is *not* to memorize steps.
The point is to internalize the logic of the mathematical argument.
Those are two very different things.
English
@anOrdoLiberal @ninja_maths You can just ignore the recommendation and stay in the course. It'll fill in the prereqs you need while also teaching whatever material you're ready for.

I'm happy to announce that we've just released a major update to our Mathematics for Machine Learning course!
Here’s a summary of what's new.👇
English
@ninja_maths @wcehouck @_MathAcademy_ Does it exclude a significant number of topics from those courses? What is the advantage to this sequence over doing the 4 individually courses?
English
It's an ensemble course, so a selection of topics from Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calculus, Differential Equations, and Probability and Statistics.
Separation of Variables for first-Order ODEs is covered in Calc I, a prerequisite course. It's a prerequisite for a number of topics in these courses, so students will definitely need to know it to make progress. I can look to include it in this course, too, if that feels confusing; thanks for the heads up.
The courses are based around topics (and their prerequisites) that naturally occur in the physical sciences. For example, Homogeneous First-Order ODEs and Riccati Differential Equations might be interesting mathematically, but they're not too important in physics and other physical sciences, so they were left out.
English
I'm delighted to announce that @_MathAcademy_ has released two courses in Mathematical Methods for the Physical Sciences.
Designed for students who want the mathematical tools needed for undergraduate-level study in physics, engineering, and other STEM fields.

@Megalithic12000 @MichaelButtonX Can you actually cite what exactly Dr. Finkel says? Because its a recurring pattern for alt history dudes (especially Hancock) to distort and misrepresent what academics say to fit their consoiracy narrative
English
This is Dr Irving Finkel
A renowned Assyriologist at the British Museum
He suggests writing may have existed thousands of years earlier than we’re taught.

My 7th grader needs to read a book and write a paper for women's history month. It can be fiction or non-fiction but must be written by a woman and represent a "woman's voice".
Any ideas for a book about women that my son would enjoy?
English
"0.999..." is bad notation. It's deliberately made to look like a decimal number, when in fact the "..." expresses the limit of a series. It should simply be noted as the limit of a series, in which case no one would question it's equal to 1.
The nature of the trick is, "can you see through my misleading notation?" -- not particularly profound IMO

They didn't track eye movements while walking a path, they showed college students a series of photos and asked them which areas caught their eye. Women found more details in the surrounding areas of the path in these photos interesting.

joke aside, wouldnt this study debunk the whole thing where tough guys are like 'when im walking around disney world im constantly scanning for danger to keep my family safe😤"

I wonder if AI will rot everyone's mind to the point that they can't appreciate the beauty of a well written math textbook
alz@alz_zyd_
Math textbooks are written in a pointlessly obtuse way. Gemini does an incomparably better job. My professional opinion is that all undergrads learning real analysis should give up reading baby Rudin, and simply learn analysis from Gemini instead
English
@alz_zyd_ @PhiliposeM60789 @MischaPanch Good luck doing it in reasonable time and actually having fluency.

@alz_zyd_ @deux_ex_max Communication among professional mathematicians would be seriously hindered if they couldn't communicate in this highly compact form, which requires years of training, the earlier the better.
English
@alz_zyd_ @deux_ex_max Also, the ability to construct mental models yourself without guidance is an important training for research mathematicians, so talented students reading these books get a high volume of practice from early on.
English
@alz_zyd_ I found baby rudin easy to read, like a novel. I would've much preferred it to this Gemini version.
