the sea advances insensibly in silence, nothing seems to happen, nothing moves, the water is so far off you hardly hear it.. yet it finally surrounds the resistant substance.

I think this is one of the weirdest nlab pages (which should be normal?) ncatlab.org/nlab/show/li...
like why are there no sources? why is the notation so all over the place?? what's happening

reading this paper on the Poisson zoo and I love my field so much. I love thinking about lattice animals and random walks and factor of iid processes. I love probability, the tools, the language, the objects studied and how we study them

Summaring the problems in every maths department.
I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

Okay this is embarrasing but I as a semi-mature probabilist only recently realized that the event {S_n = 0 infinitely often} is not in the tail sigma algebra (where S_n denotes a simple random walk, idk S_n = X_1 + ... + X_n for X_i iid centred e.g.). It is still in the exchangeable algebra though!

ME TOO it's so satisfying
Can I be vulnerable for a moment? I love to write the radical of an ideal with a radical symbol

This is a real sign from a real deli near the Wesleyan math department, and they put it up because the mathematicians were too engrossed in their mathematics discussions to efficiently order sandwiches. www.cbc.ca/radio/asitha...

I can't tell if I love or hate the terminology of going up and going down. On the one hand, extremely transparent name for a property. On the other hand, asking "Does this ring hom satisfy going up?" sounds mildly ungrammatical to me

it's crazy to me that I have a master's and I still am basically at strong undergrad level of good at math. like I was a strong undergrad and I feel like I never transcended it

the tensor product is that moment right before you go on stage. the moment you realize you're in love. its being snowed in when you have nowhere to be.

faithfully flat modules are so ... mm ....
fun problem: show if two integral domains A \subseteq B are birational (i.e. same field of fractions) with B faithfully flat over A, then A = B
