Academia was killing me body and soul, so this is a good and joyous change. I will accept both condolences (for the killing-me part) and congratulations (for the escape), lol.

Unless you mean you have to actually write down a function. In which case I'm very sorry for your suffering.

Have you considered the algebra student's best friend, the Sylow theorems

I guess when I see my own cookbooks I usually think "oh, right, maybe I'll start doing that again someday" or perhaps I'll think about a recipe in it I wanted to try. But also I usually think of these things as temporarily on hiatus, not permanently abandoned.

*if this isn't true, come on, get a better function.
I would say btw that the identity map from R to R is not the same function as the identity map from (0, \infty) to itself. So for me, domains are very much baked in to the definition of a function. This is probably because I'm an algebraist.

Firm yes, because we'd like "domain" to be meaningful lol.
But you can always* take a smaller domain so it's fine for your example. Eg the identity mapping and 1/x are both defined on (0, \infty) or C without 0 or the strict upper half plane in C or... whatever.

But also no unless your domain is like. Really unusual. Or unless you're defining your function in a really unusual way. So maybe! But probably no.

What do you mean "the" domain

Learning should be a communal endeavor almost always imo. I would go to great lengths to find even one (1) pal to be confused with, rather than trying to do it all on my own.

I would do "enough" problems 🥰 i.e. I would work through problems to understand whatever the thing is and then a couple more to test my understanding.
Which is unhelpful for a student with no pedagogy training bc it's hard to evaluate your own work!

But also I think problems assigned vs problems available is very different and students should (usually) do more than is mandatory! So I am pro 72 problems in textbook.

Depends on what the problems are for, I think. Like the problems I provide for an in-class introduction to a topic are way more granular and hand-holdy than homework.
But I would always rather carefully evaluate a few problems done thoroughly than a lot of problems done sloppily or by rote.

It's even better than that—it's $10 for you and $10 for another player, who will probably use it on more sessions with me, lol. So, in a way, $20 for me!

This sounds so fun—and recruiting other players is THE easiest way to make sure there's enough people to play!
(But before anybody actually makes a StartPlaying account, let me know, because I've got referral codes for $10 off your first session.)

So if your wife has specific date/time requests...let me know and I'll see if I can make them happen!

I could! I generally schedule one-shots by 1) player request, or 2) my own scheduling preferences, in that order.
A one-shot with one guaranteed player is quite likely to meet its minimum and actually happen. E.g. the 29th date was a player request, so I expect that one to fill up.
