( I still don't get the right-angled triangle sides' worked solution in the appendix though.
I literally did a physics degree, somehow.
The step up to (x^2 - 1) > 2n or whatever is fine.
Right after that looks like (x^2 + 1) - (x^2 - 1) > 2 from nowhere.
Like wtf?
Did I just have a stroke.
Where the hell did that come from and go, fucker-eyed crow?)

Last week I received @Alien_Sunset monthly mail art!

The envelope was decorated by using #hitomezashi #StitchPattern seeded with my name 😍

Guess some of you are interested in the video and book recommended

#MathMonday

#MathMonday I love it when there are useful, “everyday”, applications of a mathematical theorem. Here’s one of my favorites: Take a level table wobbling on uneven ground. The Intermediate Value Theorem guarantees that rotating the table in a circle, less than a quarter turn (for a 4-legged table), will find a spot where the table sits perfectly without wobbling! No need to shove napkins under the “short” leg. (#Proof available upon request.) #calculus #IVT

#MathMonday What was it that made you want to be a mathematician? When did you fall in love with #math ?

For me it was Asimov on Numbers in the 7th grade and coming to understand that there were different magnitudes of infinity. I needed to be able to prove this. Hilbert’s Hotel and Cantor’s proof of the uncountability of the Reals set me down a path I’m still on.
