I don’t know how to explain to my family that “Algebra I” in grad school is not the same as “Algebra I” in high school

Having responsibilities when you’re in the early stages of grieving a completed unexpected loss is such a freakin joke

Shamelessly sharing a post from my Instagram for y’all here :) instagram.com/reel/C4LC3XjuA…

@frobunnius This is exactly what I was looking for - thank you! They’re just starting to learn about field homomorphisms and I was trying to find a good way to pin point that the isomorphisms we care about are structural, not cardinality based

Hi friends - I’m grading the following question for a class: “If φ: ℚ(i) → ℚ(i) is a nonzero homomorphism, prove that it is an isomorphism.” A couple students are using a size argument - “since φ is injective and these fields are the same size, it must be surjective”

Intuitively I don’t believe this is correct, however I’m self-doubting big time! Would this be a correct argument? (Please be nice, I’ve been sick for like 2 weeks and my brain is dead)

Passed my second Qual today 🎉🎉

No one prepares you for how difficult it is to choose notation for your paper

@BarbaraFantechi @louisloizo Thank you!! I made it on Canva! I used screenshots from my actual Spotify wrapped and then cropped things on top of it!

@VectorsWithVit @louisloizo That's so cute! What did you use for this? (Also, amazing year and brilliant choice of textbooks). Happy 2024!

2023 Grad School Wrapped 🎉

@doctor_jekel Thank you! Sadly the break will only be about a week long - January quals are right around the corner & I’ve got a paper that I meant to get out months ago 🫣

My only final is TOMORROW but I’ve been out of classes since the 6th and let me tell you, it has been IMPOSSIBLE to find motivation to study

Apparently academic-related anxiety runs in the family????

My dad literally hasn’t been to school since 1988 and he still has nightmares that he can’t find his locker or can’t remember the combination (he had one of these said nightmares last night)

Today I was told to be somewhere as close as possible to a certain time and I couldn’t tell if they didn’t want me to come early or if they didn’t want me to be late But instead of asking that, I said “are we talking limit from the left or limit from the right”

Hi friends! I wanted to share that, in the midst of the Twitter decline, I’ve moved to Instagram! If you’d like to stay in touch, you can find me at @/rosetheoryy

Sometimes I forget how cool my advisor actually is

@TheMathThey !!!!! My thoughts!!!!

@VectorsWithVit If they don't want us to drink too much coffee then why is it free?

I drink way too much coffee at conferences

If this doesn’t exist, then I’m starting it for the sake of future first-year TAs that may need help writing quiz questions

Is there a database somewhere of questions that are good for Calculus quizzes/exams? I’m currently using my old textbooks but it would be sick if there was just a huge list somewhere separated by the type of questions one may be looking for
