"When will I ever use this?" "How is this useful in my life?" Not everything we learn in math has to be applied. Math can be seen as an art as well.

Why do we do math in school? When I asked this question as a kid, my teachers always told me, "You'll use it one day." That's almost always false. Most adults are never going to be in a sticky situation with two binomials, thinking, thank goodness I can FOIL my way out of this mess. Most of us get by just fine without ever solving for x again. And especially in an Al age, fewer and fewer people will "use math" in the narrow, practical sense. But the origins of math have never been primarily about utility. Math is formative. It trains the mind to love what is true, to recognize what is orderly, and to be drawn toward what is beautiful. It teaches us that the universe is not chaos, but something intelligible, something structured, something that can be known. And you can see that truth made visible in the world's most breathtaking churches and cathedrals: arches, vaults, domes, proportions, symmetry, harmony, light-geometry turned into glory. The mathematics that shapes a cathedral is not cold or sterile. It's the language of wonder, carved into stone. We don't teach math because everyone will use it. We teach math because it forms the kind of person who can see that reality has meaning.

THIS DUDE MADE ART WITH MATH—LIKE, ACTUAL MATH Some guy at UCL just went viral for drawing pictures using nothing but equations. Yeah, math made this. Not Photoshop or AI. He figured out how to turn boring numbers into colorful, pixel-perfect images by plotting shapes and telling each pixel what color to be. It’s like if a calculator got into art school and absolutely slayed. So next time you say “When will I ever use this?”—apparently, when you’re making math Mona Lisas.

Stanford mathematician Ravi Vakil, president of the American Mathematical Society, expects AI’s impact on mathematics to come as a phase change, not a slow climb. Every major shift in math has caught experts off guard, he says. This one will be no different, except that all our predictions will be even more wrong. -- Timestamps – 00:00:00 – Playing games with imperfect information against AI 00:02:35 – When AI will learn to be truly creative 00:03:48 – AI’s impact will be even more unpredictable than the internet 00:08:02 – What an “AlphaGo moment” would look like for math 00:10:35 – How AI will actually be useful in mathematical research 00:12:20 – Writing “wow”-level math problems for AI 00:15:06 – On a 0-10 scale, AI will change math 8 + 3i 00:16:17 – Is math the next chess?

🚨 Ilia Topuria says he doesn’t know when he will be fighting again “I do not have an exact date when everything will be fixed. At this time I prioritize the welfare of my family, of my children. As soon as everything is solved, I will be back in the octagon.” (via Carlos Contreras Legaspi 🦁)

I was an English-as-Second-Language learner when I moved to Canada with my family many years ago. I remember doing endless fill-in-the-blank exercises to practice English. Deep Learning Math is also a language. So I thought: why not use the same method to practice this math language? See more 👉

174 * .75 = 130.5bpm this is how you can use that math to mix from house to dnb smooth as butter 😎

My favorite topic in dynamical systems: Chaos!!! This is what got me interested in applied math as an undergrad. The three body problem in planetary dynamics, the double pendulum, turbulence, and more!

Aaand- done! Pretty simple rig overall, but has all the features I need, and looks as menacing as ever!😁 I will test this rig with an animation before uploading it to Gumroad, just to make sure everything is working as well as it can be! #blender #rig #rigging #Helldivers2

As an American, I listen to this, & it’s EXACTLY how I feel. As Americans we had better LISTEN to this man, & learn from what has happened to the UK. If we don’t speak out now, it will be our sons & daughters giving this same speech in our homeland. May God be with us.

In high school, I didn't realize we could actually use difference of two squares to help us with mental math. Here's how we can apply this.

Brian Cashman says the Yankees will be "looking for upgrades" in the infield, in the rotation, and in the bullpen as the trade deadline approaches: "I'd certainly love to import a starter, some relievers...and an infielder as well, if possible. But that's a long list. I'm not sure if this will be a deep deadline or not, so I don't know how active we can be. But we will try to be active, I can tell you that, and we will try to import improvements. That's the gig."

If I turn my math homework in late, I get a zero. Why do we value math homework turn in dates more than election ballot turn in dates? Ballots shouldn't be accepted after election day. This is common sense.
