Loki:
What is in that article is way beyond the formulas on the board^^^

Mlle Germain:
I love algebra! I haven't gotten further than commutative and homological algebra in preparation for algebraic geometry so far, but I'm optimistic that I'll learn it yet.
Also, I didn't realise there were so many mathematicians around.

You have to admit that mathematicians are awesome in regard naming things: "flips" and "flops"; there is a whole field called "tropical geometry", there are "sheaves" (with "stalks") and "germs" and "flags". In theoretical physics there are "bras" (this one is special in the sense that the name is not a reference to the colloquial meaning of the word; it's merely the first half of "Bracket") and "tadpoles", but these usually aren't used in maths, I guess.
And many others. Some of them are only funny in German, so I didn't list them.

cesium133:
In graduate classical mechanics, I learned all about the Kamiltonian.  :psyduck:

GarandMarine:
I want more Marten friend and Sam dammnit!

--- End quote ---

I think it's meant to be a groove between two tendons. It's quite prominent on my wrist but I'm an old man, not a young woman like Tai.
