Hii, recently I found out that I actually like math and it doesn't have to be scary and it can actually be rly fun. I am very blob-no-thoughts and new to this but hopefully becoming less blob-no-thoughts lol

I have some stuff I wanna post but I don't rly have a place to do it. I just post math-related stuff in the megathreads sometimes lol (btw rly appreciate everyone who replied to me about my dumb gender math thing in the trans megathread hehe, gave me a lot to think about, I actually have a half-finished formal proof based on something that one of you said lol) but it's not a great place to do it tbh. Would be nice to have a comm for discussions that take place over longer time-periods

I have seen other people post math stuff (like our mothematician @Tomorrow_Farewell@hexbear.net :3 ) but I feel like I have missed most of it due to it being posted in rly active unspecific-topic communities. I am also available to mod a math comm

Post under here if you would be interested. And ofc a math comm should include logic-posting or rly any formal-systems-posting imo :3

There was a thread with math jokes a few months back and I'm still upset no one ever acknowledged my contribution.

Yeah, I'll participate. I was abd, I passed qualifying exams in category theory and algebraic topology. Don't remember too much of anything anymore, unfortunately.

Hehehe, good bit lol

I must have missed that thread. Bit idea: putting undecidable problems (mean option) or unsolved problems (less mean option lol) in memes hehe

Am sorry to hear you don't remember much :/ Do you want to get back into abstract math again? I have been thinking about going back to school (if it's even feasible financially and if I even meet entry requirements anywhere, unsure), possibly for math and it's like..... idk how mathematicians actually get employed outside of research lol (I also have no idea how anyone gets into research). It sucks :( I'm sure you know this struggle much better than me. Idk, this concept has been bothering me a lot cuz I do feel completely trapped in treat servant jobs (I can't even find some corpo software-sludge-development job)
