can't we slide a point $x$ on $S^n$ along the direction $v(x)/||v(x)||$ to homotope it to $-x$?

@ABeautifulMind Seeing a doctor will be helpful, I think.
 
@ABeautifulMind You're even far greater if you manage to climb high peaks with your disease. People will admire you and learn from you a lot much more than you can imagine.
 
ping me when you have something sensical.
 
Is a "tick" a half a second or a full second? @bal
 
=( but what i'm thinking about is impossible to write down as a formula
 
8:01 PM
@robjohn I am seeing one next next week.
 
@ABeautifulMind I hope it goes well.
 
@infinitesimal a full second, perhaps. also, please ping my whole name.
 
@robjohn I will see a therapist when I am ready for therapy. I am just seeing the doc to get some meds first to stabilise myself.
@BalarkaSen That is a reasonable request, but not doing so is also reasonable.
 
probably what i am thinking about is just nonsense... nevermind @Mike
 
@Chris'ssis I never imagined life would become so hard for me.
 
8:05 PM
@ABeautifulMind Learn to be a champion. Think like a champion, behave like a champion, do things like a champion.
 
@BalarkaSen why?
 
Evening, people.
 
Not for any particular reason, just that my name is Balarka, not Bal. :P
 
@Lord_Farin Hi
 
@BalarkaSen @three letters is just used to ping, that is all.
 
8:07 PM
Hi pal @lor
 
Hello @Chris's. How are you doing?
 
@ABeautifulMind oh i see
 
Nowadays they call me @abe.
 
@Lord_Farin I have fun with some cute integrals (as the one I posted above). You?
 
@Chris'ssis Busy at work. Busy at home, about to move in a few weeks' time.
Busy at ProofWiki.
 
8:09 PM
The system only recognizes the first three letters anyway @BalarkaSen
 
Not much time for MSE :(.
@infinitesimal How are you doing?
 
@Lord_Farin I'm not too present on main, most of time I'm here but not necessarily active.
 
Hello!!! According to my lecture notes, the radius of convergence of the power series $p(x)= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (-2) x^{2n+1}, -1<x<1$ and $q(x)= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} p(p+1) x^{2n}, -1<x<1$ is 1.
Could you explain me why they are equal to 1.
It holds that $R= \frac{1}{\limsup_{n \to +\infty} \sqrt[n]{|a_n|}}$.
Are the following , $\frac{1}{\limsup_{n \to +\infty} \sqrt[n]{2}}$, $\frac{1}{\limsup_{n \to +\infty} \sqrt[n]{p(p+1)}}$ equal to 1?
 
Fine thank you. How are you @lor
 
@Chris'ssis Most of my time is on meta. I always used to camp it, but now that I have the app installed, I basically read everything.
1 min ago, by Lord_Farin
@Chris'ssis Busy at work. Busy at home, about to move in a few weeks' time.
 
8:11 PM
@Lord_Farin Do you work as a mathematician?
 
I see.
Literally :-)
 
@Chris's No, I attempted to secure a PhD position, but in the process of doing so, I broke down on the reefs of reality.
 
Them reefers can do that to the best of us pal.
 
@Chris's Basically, I noticed myself losing the love for the craft. That was the point I decided to switch. I'm in IT nowadays, programming for a pension insurer.
 
@Lord_Farin I see. I often break down on the reefs of reality in the interview rooms (when I put the right price on me).
 
8:13 PM
@Chris'ssis Yes, I'm prone to this as well. But a good preparation can help a lot.
 
@Lord_Farin I see.
 
@BalarkaSen I still don't seen to get anything. I really fear norms. :(
*seem
 
@SwapnilTripathi One understands a topology by its properties. What properties of this space are you interested in?
 
What's there to be afraid of?
Are you familiar with metric spaces, @SwapnilTripathi?
 
@Lord_Farin The mediocrity that I face there is the most annoying of all.
 
8:15 PM
Yes, I am. I also know what's a topology induced by a metric
 
The interview room is merely a three ring circus to find out how many hoops you will jump through for them @chr

@SwapnilTripathi
 
@Chris'ssis Mediocrity. My arch enemy.
 
So can you prove that if you're given a norm $|| \bullet ||$, $d(x, y) = ||x - y||$ gives you a metric space, @SwapnilTripathi?
 
8:16 PM
Actually my teacher asked us whether Q^N was dense in R^N
@MikeMiller
Hi. :D @hippa
Yes, I can. @BalarkaSen
 
@Lord_Farin They usually want me to share my personal life with them, and this is really mediocrity on their side (like, why aren't you married? or other stupid questions like this one).
 
So what is it that you don't get?
 
@Lord_Farin How did you break down?
 
You have a normed space, the topology of it are given by finite union of open balls coming from the metric induced by the norm.
 
@infinitesimal Well-said. I don't jump over my salary desired (never). :-)
 
8:19 PM
Now invoke the definition of density for metric spaces.
 
@Chris'ssis Why do they ask that? Is it because you are very beautiful?
 
Geometrically, what would the open ball look like?
@BalarkaSen
 
@Chris'ssis Well, I guess it's in the "sad but true" category; almost anyone hiring you will want to see bits and pieces of your personality.
 
... tell me the definition of open balls.
 
8:21 PM
Here, an open ball centered at x would be the set of points y such that ||x-y||<\epsilon?
 
yes, and you say you can't visualize how they'd look like?
 
@Lord_Farin The reality is that no one gives a f**k about that when you're on the job, they only want top performance, and this I always offered.
 
open balls are like open disks, aren't they?
 
If it was not N and was 'n', i would say an n-dimensional sphere
 
@ABeautifulMind I noticed several times I was enthusiastic about some PhD topic, started delving into it, only to grow to dislike it. And the dislike came faster and faster. I started to think about what I disliked, and it turned out that these parts would be in any PhD programme. At that point, I was in doubt for two more weeks, I think, and then decided to quit searching for PhDs.
@Chris'ssis Hence "sad but true".
 
8:23 PM
@SwapnilTripathi oh you want to visualize open balls in R^N. i don't know. how can you visualize stuff in function spaces?
 
@Lord_Farin I see. In academia, one also has to publish or perish.
 
I don't know. I was thinking and thinking, and poof......
 
just write down what the open sets are.
don't try to visualize them, it's useless.
 
@ABeautifulMind That was indeed one of the particularly sharp points tearing through my hull of determination.
 
@Chris'ssis It is OK to say fuck in this room.
 
8:25 PM
And my teacher told me, topology was very intuitive.
:P
 
@ABeautifulMind :D
 
it is, but not every space is homeomorphic to euclidean space, if that's the kind of intuition you want!
 
@SwapnilTripathi Anything geometrical is intuitive.
@Chris'ssis You did not answer my previous question, so you must be very pretty, lol.
 
It's essentially an infinite-dimensional version of Euclidean space, @SwapnilTripathi. That's the best you can do.
 
@ɧɿρρԹʅȝՇԵՐՎԾՌ This is a major source of frustration. It requires quite a high level of self-knowledge and lack of pretension to hire someone smarter than oneself, it seems.
 
8:26 PM
The closed balls aren't compact anymore! So visualization will be rough.
 
@ABeautifulMind lollll, I just missed that. :-))))
 
@Chris'ssis Put a photo on your book!
 
Thank you @BalarkaSen and @MikeMiller
 
@Chris'ssis How the book doing ? :D
 
On the cover!
 
8:27 PM
@ɧɿρρԹʅȝՇԵՐՎԾՌ Amazingly well. :-) Did you see the question above I asked you? It wasn't a joke, one can do it without pen and paper.
 
capsaicin->me->endorphins :)
 
@ABeautifulMind I can see the headlines: "Mathematicians baffled by record selling book."
 
@SwapnilTripathi: You know the norm. Just try to show density by hand: demonstrating an element of $\Bbb Q^{\Bbb N}$ arbitrarily close to some chosen element of $\Bbb R^{\Bbb N}$.
 
@Lord_Farin LOL.
 
8:27 PM
$$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{e^{a x}}{1-e^x} \ dx=\frac{\pi}{\tan(a \pi)}, \space 0<a<1$$
 
@Chris'ssis let me look :-)
 
@ɧɿρρԹʅȝՇԵՐՎԾՌ ^^^
 
Many of the girls I know who are good in math are lesbians.
 
chomsky is an unusual norm
 
I can do it with papyrus and clay, does that count as not pen and paper ? :D
 
8:28 PM
@ɧɿρρԹʅȝՇԵՐՎԾՌ lol :-)
@ɧɿρρԹʅȝՇԵՐՎԾՌ You'd be shocked to see its simplicity.
 
So can I talk about x=(x_i)\in \bb{R}^\bb{N} and proceed as in the finite case?
@MikeMiller
 
wat
 
There was one particular girl in my class who was so much like a boy the professor thought she was a boy.
 
you're somehow confusing $\Bbb R^{\Bbb N}$ and $\Bbb{R}^n$
 
Yes, @SwapnilTripathi. That's essentially the idea.
 
8:30 PM
@Mike ? Those are functions, not infinite tuples!
 
@Chris'ssis computers are the worst q_q
I wonder if $\log(e)=0$ -_________-
 
@ɧɿρρԹʅȝՇԵՐՎԾՌ lol :-))))
 
log(e) = 1, @ɧɿρρԹʅȝՇԵՐՎԾՌ.
 
@BalarkaSen I know lol
 
@ɧɿρρԹʅȝՇԵՐՎԾՌ Maybe the computer didn't interpret that one as a constant.
 
8:32 PM
@ɧɿρρԹʅȝՇԵՐՎԾՌ Perhaps you neglected to define "e"?
 
@Lord_Farin I'm pretty sure that $e$ is defined
weird
 
I think mathematica command for e is Exp(1)
 
It's not mathematica
 
@BalarkaSen Or capital E.
 
8:33 PM
hi @hippa @Chris'ssis.
 
oh. yuck, @ɧɿρρԹʅȝՇԵՐՎԾՌ
 
@BalarkaSen There's no difference between a function $\Bbb N \to \Bbb R$ and a sequence of real numbers.
 
@BalarkaSen q_q
 
The first is the definition of a sequence of real numbers.
 
@Ramanewbie hi
 
8:33 PM
@MikeMiller ah of course.
 
$n$-tuples are just functions $[n] \to \Bbb R$, too.
 
So, we can? :P @BalarkaSen
 
Yes, yes, my bad.
 
@MikeMiller Whence the notation $\Bbb R^n$.
 
I was confused with that since the start! :D
 
8:34 PM
You can just do it with functions, too, though.
 
It's just notation.
 
I like norms. @Hippa, a new pic please. Norms are not so bad ;)
2
Yes, I'll try that. @BalarkaSen
 
-@ɧɿρρԹ does that mean 'normal' ?
 
8:38 PM
I cannot star until someone else does? Phone!! -_-
 
@ɧɿρρԹ does that mean 'willing to' ?
 
Let's just assume it. :P
 
9:42 PM
@ɧɿρρԹʅȝՇԵՐՎԾՌ you left tox ?
 
you're written disconnected to me
the red empty circle
 
@DavidWheeler @infinitesimal Let n be an odd number. A ballot box contains 2n numbered beads. We pull n beads without replacement.
What is the probability that the sum of the numbers of the beads that we took is proper greater than the sum of the numbers of the remaining beads?
 
Are the beads numbered sequentially, or randomly? Is each number on a bead unique to that bead?
 
:/ :/ :/
@DavidWheeler This is the exact exercise.
@DavidWheeler What do you think that they mean?
 
9:53 PM
No idea.
 
@robjohn @DanielFischer @anon @TedShifrin Let n be an odd number. A ballot box contains 2n numbered beads. We pull n beads without replacement.
What is the probability that the sum of the numbers of the beads that we took is proper greater than the sum of the numbers of the remaining beads?
 
Depends on what numbers are on the beads.
 
@Ramanewbie you're the one who's offline
 
@DanielFischer @DavidWheeler If we suppose that they are numbered sequentially and unique?
 
:20394481 Not really. It's just a simulation running in your computer.
 
9:57 PM
For example-if every bead has the same number on it, the probability is 0.
 
@user159870 So the numbers are $k,k+1,\dotsc,k+2n-1$ for some $k$?
Whatever, find the probability that the sums are equal and use the symmetry.
 
@DanielFischer How can we find the probability that the sum of the numbers of the beads that we took is proper greater than the sum of the numbers of the remaining beads?
@DanielFischer From 2n we pick n beads so $\binom{2n}{n}$. How can we count in the sum of the beads we take?
 
12 mins ago, by Daniel Fischer
Whatever, find the probability that the sums are equal and use the symmetry.
 
10:15 PM
Morning @DanielF
 
@ɧɿρρԹʅȝՇԵՐՎԾՌ lollllllllll, that's cool! :-)))))
 
@DanielFischer The sums have the form $\sum_i i $ and i takes n different numbers.
Do we use Bayes theorem?
P(the sum of the numbers of the remaining beans is equal to x | (the sum of the numbers of the beans is equal to x ) ? @DanielFischer
 
I think the probability the two sums are equal is 0
 
@DavidWheeler Why?
 
10:23 PM
At least if we assume the numbers are $1,2,\dots,2n$
Haven't checked what adding $k$ to each does, but it shouldn't change anything
 
@MikeMiller Hola.
 
@DavidWheeler Is it then impossible if we assume the numbers are 1,2,...,2n to find n numbers with the same sum as n other numbers?
 
The total sum is equal to $\dfrac{2n(2n+1)}{2}$
 
@DavidWheeler Adds $n\cdot k$ to each of the two groups.
 
Since $n$ is odd, this is odd.
You can't split an odd number into the sum of two equal numbers.
Arguing using symmetry as Daniel suggests, gives me a probability of 1/2.
For each group of numbers that the sum of the remaining beads is less, we have a corresponding choice where the remaining beads, are the ones we selected in the first choice.
 
10:31 PM
The total sum is equal to $\dfrac{2n(2n+1)}{2}$. This is an odd number so necessarily the sum of numbers of the beans that we took will be proper greater or proper smaller than the number of the remaining beans. So the probability that the sum of the numbers of the beads that we took is proper greater than the sum of the numbers of the remaining beads is 1/2.
Correct??? @DanielFischer @DavidWheeler
 
I don't think adding $k$ changes anything because $2nk$ is even, and doesn't change the parity.
Perhaps I'm looking at it too "naively", but it seems more of a combinatorial "trick" than a real problem in statistics.
 
I applied the formula $\rho=\sqrt{z^2+r^2}, \theta=\theta ,\phi=\arctan \left (\frac{r}{z}\right )$ for the point in cylindrical coordinates $\left (1, -\frac{\pi}{6}, 0\right )$. To calculate $\phi$ do we write it as followed?? $$\phi=\arctan \left (\frac{1}{0}\right )$$
Or is there an other way to write it?? Do we say: "Since it $\frac{1}{0}$ is not defined and we know that $\tan $ is not defined at $\frac{\pi}{2}$, we conclude that $\phi=\frac{\pi}{2}$." ?? Is the formulation correct?? Could I improve something??
@DanielFischer Do you have an idea??
 
@user159870 I think you need to explain how the symmetry of the problem leads you to conclude this.
 
@DavidWheeler Ok, thank youuuu
 
@DavidWheeler Right, it doesn't change anything, not even if $k$ is a non-integer. Each of the two sums is changed by the same amount.
 
10:39 PM
@DanielFischer @DavidWheeler :)
 
You might, for example, want to point out that $\binom{2n}{n}$ is even, and for our set $S$ of $2n$ numbers, a cardinality $n$ subset $A$, and $S\setminus A$ come in pairs.
Sigh, I shouldn't have abandoned math. I might have done OK.
 
When did you abandon math and why???
 
Hmm...it's sort of complicated.
 
@DavidWheeler Can you go back
 
Hi. I still feel very bad. I hope things start to get better soon. I will go to bed in an hour.
 
10:52 PM
@JasperLoy Have you tried eating chocolate
 
Short version: I got burnt-out, and then I got married, and couldn't afford 4 more years of living below poverty level, so I started working.
 
@ʙᴀᴅᴀᴛᴍᴀᴛʜ No.
@DavidWheeler And you got divorced?
 
@DavidWheeler As what do you work???
 
@ABeautifulMind No, my wife committed suicide, but that came later.
 
@DavidWheeler I've been living below poverty line for a while now but I don't really mind it
 
10:53 PM
@DavidWheeler OK. May I ask why?
 
@DavidWheeler omg I'm so sorry
 
At the moment-I sit on my butt. But I was a truss designer, and might be again soon.
 
@DavidWheeler :((
 
@ABeautifulMind We had a very volatile relationship. At one point I decided, enough was enough, and she shot herself.
 
@DavidWheeler What is a truss designer???
 
10:55 PM
@user159870 A designer of trusses. duh.
What you probably meant to ask, is-what is a truss.
 
Yes, what is a truss? :p
@DavidWheeler
 
@DavidWheeler Do you feel your life is worth living now?
 
@ABeautifulMind Life is worth living. My life is nothing special, though. I'm just a guy.
 
Is the rest of you married???
 
10:57 PM
@user159870 No, I am mentally very ill.
 
@DavidWheeler That has nothing to do with maths :/

@DavidWheeler Do you have an idea ??
 
@ABeautifulMind Would you like to have a girlfriend???
@ʙᴀᴅᴀᴛᴍᴀᴛʜ ?
 
@user159870 I accidentally pressed tab and enter
 
10:59 PM
@user159870 Yes.
 
@ABeautifulMind Do you go to disco?
 
@user159870 No.
 
@ʙᴀᴅᴀᴛᴍᴀᴛʜ Are you married or only bad at maths? :P
 
@JasperLoy Do you feel like a girlfriend would help you through your problems
@user159870 No I'm not really that interested in dating (for now)
 
Jasper would like to have: 1) the mental calm to be productive in mathematics 2) love in his life (seriously, who doesn't though?) and 3) hope things will get better
 
11:00 PM
@ʙᴀᴅᴀᴛᴍᴀᴛʜ If and only if it is the right girl.
 
@ABeautifulMind Have you thought of online dating?
@ʙᴀᴅᴀᴛᴍᴀᴛʜ How old are you?
 
@user159870 I don't think anyone wants me now, unless she is also mentally ill.
 
@user159870 26
 
@ABeautifulMind no one knows. are you e.g. on fb?
@ʙᴀᴅᴀᴛᴍᴀᴛʜ Ok
 
@JasperLoy I think there are very maternal-like women who would want invest in working on helping you and taking care of you
 
11:02 PM
@user159870 Nope.
 
@ABeautifulMind That's not true! It's just your fear talking.
 
maybe there is the other piece of you. @ABeautifulMind
 
It's extremely sad when I think of what my life could be if I were well.
 
How old are you? @ABeautifulMind
 
@user159870 I am very old, turning 34.
 
11:03 PM
@DanielF Did you see that the question you helped me it showed up on main?
 
@ABeautifulMind Well, many perfectly "balanced" people have miserable lives. Joy is where you find it.
 
@quid Are you male/female?
 
@MikeMiller No. Have you a link?
 
@MaryStar your answer is right, but remember that arctan(a/0) might be $-\pi/2$, so be sure of the sign
 
Here. I was amused; not often I see my own homework on main.
 
11:06 PM
@user159870 Anyway, why do you ask? Are you interested? =)
 
How can I find the sign?? @DavidWheeler
 
@MikeMiller You are TAing CA this semester?
 
@MikeMiller What definition of Fourier transform do you prefer?
 
Have the rest of you a facebook account? I had in the past I have deleted it now. Maybe I will reopen it.
 
I have no use for a Facebook
 
11:07 PM
I have no FB.
 
Eyebrows: Next quarter, ie in three weeks
 
@user159870 why do you want to know?
 
I do not have a preferred Fourier transform, other than liking it to be unitary.
 
@MikeMiller Which textbook are you guys gonna use for your class?
 
No idea
 
11:08 PM
@quid I can't guess it from your name.
 
@user159870 Where are you from?
 
neither can I @user159870
 
@DavidWheeler At the definition of spherical coordinates there is the restriction $0 \leq \phi \leq \pi$, so we take $\phi=\frac{\pi}{2}$
 
@quid My name is Robin. I am a guy. Will you tell me now? :P
 
Apparently it's this book
 
11:11 PM
@user159870 Hi Robin.
 
Thanks @MikeMiller
 
@quid neuter, duh.
 
@ABeautifulMind I am from London.
 
Age, sex and location are not enough. You need to know the orientation too, lol.
@user159870 I see. I am from a tiny island in Asia.
 
@DanielFischer :D
 
11:13 PM
lol @ this review of that CA textbook: "130 dollars? Son complex analysis is 130 years old. If you compute the contour integral around 130 simple poles, the residue theorem says TOO MUCH MONEY"
"i" wouldn't recommend it
 
@DanielFischer So he/ she doesn't want to tell us HAHAHAHHAHAHHAH
 
@user159870 That's some really loud laughing out loud
 
@ʙᴀᴅᴀᴛᴍᴀᴛʜ LOL
 
@user159870 Robin, I don't know why but I have a feeling you are gay, no offence.
 
11:14 PM
Am I right?
 
@user159870 actually I told on occasion that I am male. Mainly I was just genuinely surprised you asked me as somehow out of the blue. The fact that the user-name itself is not "gendered" is however essentially by design.
 
No, you are wrong. :( @ABeautifulMind What does it make to have such a feeling????
 
@user159870 Just my intuition.
 
@user159870 why are you so interested in quid
 
@MaryStar works for me

Q: The sum of orbit size of some element over the image of group "polynomial"

Paul Plummer$\DeclareMathOperator{\orb}{orb}$ Say I have a group "polynomial", $p$, on $S_n$, that is $p(x)=a_1 x^{\epsilon_1}...a_n x^{\epsilon_n}$ for all $x \in S_n$, fixed $a_i \in S_n$ and fixed $\epsilon_i \in \mathbb{Z}$. Let $p S_n$ be the image of the polynomial. Generally, I am looking for $$ X(S_n...

 
I have a girlfriend :) @ʙᴀᴅᴀᴛᴍᴀᴛʜ @ABeautifulMind
 
Eyebrows: it looks like a really bad book.
 
I am fascinated by quid. Or maybe I'm making this up.
 
@MikeMiller For some reason whenever I usually see "applications" or something similar in the title, I feel turned off by the book
 
The book's titled "with applications" are usually really bad.
 
11:19 PM
Probability theory and stochastic processes with applications by Knill is really good.
 
@JasperLoy I was considering taking probability or stochastic processes next semester but I probably won't
 
The way my life is turning out, it can be made into a movie.
A Beautiful Mind 2.
@ʙᴀᴅᴀᴛᴍᴀᴛʜ Why don't you try dating?
 
@JasperLoy I don't have the time for such nonsense
I'm taking 5 math classes this semester, but my advisor says this is too much and so he recommends me to take only 3 classes next semester
 
Oh, OK. You consider dating nonsense. I guess you want to be single.
 
@JasperLoy I'm not single, I have math
 
11:24 PM
Do you have a good joke to say???
 
I think most people agree 5 is too much.
 
@user159870 Topology is like a bad parent - telling you what not to do
 
You may be able to keep up with the workload, but will you retain everything you learn?
 
Hello @ʙᴀᴅᴀᴛᴍᴀᴛʜ !!! I am also taking 5 subjects this semester.. Which do you take?
 
@ʙᴀᴅᴀᴛᴍᴀᴛʜ Could you explain your joke?
 
11:27 PM
@evinda didn't you say 6 yesterday?
 
@MikeMiller I thought it was normal since in order to graduate in 4 years on a bi-semester system, you need on average 15 cr. per semester for the 120 cr. required to graduate..classes here are 3 cr., so 5 classes seems like to be the minimum
 
@Alessandro No, I am taking 5.. :)
 
@evinda Point-set topology, real analysis, complex analysis, number theory, and dynamical systems
 
@ʙᴀᴅᴀᴛᴍᴀᴛʜ Aha!
 
@ʙᴀᴅᴀᴛᴍᴀᴛʜ Very good courses.
 
11:28 PM
@evinda woops, my memory betrayed me
 
I think I only took 3 concurrently at any one time. This left me time to take Physics, le french (because girls), and comparative religion.
 
What has French got to do with girls?
 
But yea, so in order to graduate on time, if I only take 3 math classes, I need to take 2 other non-math classes I guess..but I don't know what I should fill them with
 
Nothing-but there were some cuties taking it, so
 
Ah, I don't like any of the girls here.
 
11:30 PM
@Alessandro Never mind... :)
 
@ABeautifulMind "Here"?
 
@DavidWheeler In my country.
 
Ohhh........
I thought you meant in this room.
 
Actually, I dislike most people here.
 
@Alessandro How was your day? :)
 
11:31 PM
@ABeautifulMind Is it hard for you to go somewhere else?
 
@JasperLoy You dislike most people in this chatroom, or your country?
 
@ABeautifulMind Maybe the other piece of you is in this chatroom.
 
@DavidWheeler Once I get well, I will get out for grad school. But I need to get well first.
@ʙᴀᴅᴀᴛᴍᴀᴛʜ Country.
 
@ABeautifulMind Sg?
 
@JasperLoy I hope you get better fast
 
11:32 PM
@DavidWheeler Yes.
 
@evinda fine, we studied plusquamperfekt in the German course, nothing difficult today :)
 
@DavidWheeler What is Sg?
 
singapore
 
@ʙᴀᴅᴀᴛᴍᴀᴛʜ I did not expect it would last so long. But my father did some terrible things only a few years ago, and the effects remain strong.

@JasperLoy I blame my father for everything even though I've never known him
 
@ABeautifulMind @ʙᴀᴅᴀᴛᴍᴀᴛʜ :(((((
 
@ʙᴀᴅᴀᴛᴍᴀᴛʜ My father is responsible for 99 per cent of all my problems. I hope he dies.
 
@ABeautifulMind Have you considered joining an abuse survivors' support group?
 
@evinda 16 at the moment

@DavidWheeler I think I will just try to find the right therapist to work on all issues.
 
@Alessandro Aha!
 
@ABeautifulMind well, my thinking was, it might help to know you are not alone.
 
@evinda I frequent a course in the ISL Sprachschule that we have here
 
@ʙᴀᴅᴀᴛᴍᴀᴛʜ He moved out a few years ago. As you know, I am living with my mum who is caring for me.
 
In which city? @Alessandro
 
11:36 PM
@evinda Pforzheim
 
I am going to eat something now.
 
@ABeautifulMind something spicy?
 
Aha :) @Alessandro
 
@evinda I always log in the chat too late and have to go to sleep soon afterward :( gute Nacht!!
 
@Alessandro Gute Nacht!!! :)

@MikeMiller i tend to use the unitary version when i'm working here, but if i was writing something up for my (physics) research i'd use the kind with factor $e^{i k x}$ and with the $k$-space integral getting the 2pi factor overall
different contexts, yada yada
 
whatevs
 
(aka 'if everyone else was jumping off a bridge..." logic)
 
@Semiclassical in that case, i'd be, like, the guy on top of the bridge wondering, wtf?
