feels like i’m getting away with something by talking about math on here. like it’s... not fair to everyone else somehow? 🤔 something i don’t like about the idea of having a conversation “in public” with a potentially really high barrier to entry
Conversation
one of the nice things about talking about feelings and childhoods and shit is literally everyone has feelings and literally everyone had a childhood, they’re universal
meanwhile when it comes to math some of you are / were grad students and some of you have math anxiety 😔

there’s something i like about the idea of bringing to twitter this more technical side of myself i’ve been leaving out and/but also i don’t wanna make people feel excluded or inadequate if i don’t have to. hmm. thoughts?

I kinda like the math references even when I can’t fully parse it.
Have you always felt fluent in math, all-around? My school math experience was some concepts felt intuitive, others a struggle until they suddenly clicked, and some just seemed to be about rote memorization

yep, it was my best subject, i did math competitions and went to math summer programs and posted on math forums in my spare time 😅
one of the things that drew me to it was that i didn’t have to memorize anything! everything could just be derived, eventually
