TIL about catastrophic cancellation, which deals with the subtraction of approximate numbers rather than the exact, and I am like, holy f-ing hell, this explains so much why my math on the necklace was so wonky.
Many Happy Returns to the Linux Kernel 🙂
I think that should be Tau Day today? 🙂🤷♂️
Are are also celebrating approximation day in July?
Yesterday I made a new update on my several complex variables book
Tasty Bits of Several Complex Variables
https://www.jirka.org/scv/
(Free as a PDF as usual, and $16 paperback)
The new material is more on the dbar-problem, new appendix, a few new results throughout (singular sets of varieties, another version of Kontinuitatssatz), and many new exercises, and some new figures.
The paperback on amazon should be live in a day or so at most.
