Get ready for a #MathAdventure! Ever stumbled upon Fermat's Last Theorem? It's a 358-year-old riddle that kept even the most brilliant minds guessing. Today, let's unravel this enigmatic tale of numbers, and celebrate the genius who solved it - Sir Andrew Wiles.

Pierre de Fermat was an amateur mathematician. In his book, he made a bold claim: No three positive integers a, b, and c can satisfy the equation aⁿ + bⁿ = cⁿ for any integer value of n greater than 2. (2/16)
But here's the kicker. Fermat added, "I have discovered a truly marvellous proof of this, which this margin is too narrow to contain." And just like that, he left the world pondering. What was this elusive proof?(3/16)

“I am convinced that the reason the John Nunn never became world champion is that he is too clever for that. He has so incredibly much in his head. Simply too much. His enormous powers of understanding & his constant thirst for knowledge distracted him from chess”

Dr. John Nunn: at just 15, he began his journey in mathematics at Oxford & became the youngest student in 500 years. By 23, he earned a PhD in algebraic topology. Nunn went on to become a world-renowned chess grandmaster, dominating for almost 2 decades.

GM Nunn is recognized as one of the leading chess problem solvers, won 3 world championships in this field. He represented the British team in various solving competitions. In 1985, he published a book entitled "Solving in Style," which delves into this subject in greater depth.
Awesome article! And: take just about every single thing written about the coaching and learning of sports here, and hit ‘find/replace’ for math, and you have more of the full picture of what’s going on with #math instruction.
I’ll elaborate some parallels here: “Strict, militaristic discipline and authoritarian power with frequent outbursts of screaming and cursing” — “Strict, “get it right the first time” focus, authoritarian pedagogies with direct and indirect messages that demoralize students
“Winning at all costs” — increasing test scores at all costs
Another Fed Meeting, another decision based on flawed metrics. One of them is the new CPI. Or shall I say the *New New CPI*?
Because the calculation has been sneakily adjusted again recently, and yes, it matters. Why and how?

First, for those who are new to the whole Fed Shell Game, or if you need a little refresher, a quick review of CPI:
The Consumer Price Index, also known as CPI, is the benchmark for U.S. inflation as calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (the BLS).

People ask every time a new CPI reading is released: how can the prices of groceries, cars, houses, be so inflated, yet the CPI rises only a fraction of that?

Interest on debt is now the same size as the annual US military budget, which is by far the largest item in the US discretionary budget. And it's only going to get larger.

In this thread we are going, finally, to implement Navier-Stokes simulation in Niagara. We should obtain something like in the gif below. #ue5 #niagara #vfx #gamedev #math
Following the steps in Stam's Stable Fluids paper, let's split our original problem into smaller ones. Basically, we solve the momentum equation (apply forces, advect velocity and diffuse it) and after that we force that computed velocity to be divergence-free using the pressure.
We know how to solve (from the previous thread...more or less) all the elements of last picture, except maybe the "advection" step. Luckily, it can easily solve using a method called "Semi-Lagrangian scheme". Again, I recommend you take a look to @nvidia GPU Gems blog.
It's time to solve some fluid dynamics equations! These are the well-known Navier-Stokes Equations which describe the motion of a viscous fluid. #ue5 #niagara #gamedev #techart #houdini #math
There are three or four unknows in this system of equations, depending on whether we are in 2D or 3D case. The main unknows are: the velocity (two or three components) and the pressure.
The first equations, one for each component of the velocity, are called "momentum equations" and are basically Newton's F=ma applied to a little fluid element. The last equation is the "continuity equation" and it means that the flow is incompressible, i.e., density constant.

2/ If you don't alr know what Goo is, just read this thread by @_Dave__White_.
3/ To get the highest Goo emission rate, first we need to understand that Goo emission is based on:
- Each Gobbler's multiplier
- Goo amount allocated to each gobbler (can be different)
The Goo emission rate will then be `sqrt(m*a)` , where m=multiplier and a=allocation of Goo.

What if, and just go with me here, @AndrewYang, there were more effective ways to change the system than launching a third party named after your book with you as the figurehead?
Like, maybe the biggest problem with the system isn’t two parties, it’s the fact that all American voters don’t have an equal representation in their federal gov’t and that’s if they can register at all while one party actively tries to reduce the number of eligible voters who do
And again, @AndrewYang, these two slides do not show what you keep arguing they do. They show that 60% of the country is left of the moderates AND Republicans have consistently gamed state legislatures to prevent that from showing up in federal elections.
The US debt spiral, a thread...
US Tax revenue $4T

Annual interest exp is $400B (at historic low coupons)

The debt spiral accelerates as new debt is issued at HIGHER coupon.
Ex: $30T in outstanding debt x 3.2% coupon is $1T in annual expense...(an increase of $600B/yr)
This is BEFORE any new deficits and a reduction in revs due to lower capital gains
