@amWhy: respect mathematics, Oct 31 is the birthday of Karl Weierstrass :)

@epic_math Nice! Cheers to Karl!

@amWhy I quoted one of your chat message in this post on meta: Would a chatroom for new users be feasible?

I wanted to check with you whether it's ok - I can remove that part if you prefer.

I am not really sure whether that question might bring something useful, but since this topic has been mentioned a few times, getting some input from the community seemed like a reasonable step.

I meant to write "one of your chat messages" (plural) - sorry for the typo.

@MartinSleziak No problem @MartinSleziak. That's fine. Thanks for checking in on it.

Thanks for the response!

i'm ready for halloween. gonna throw candy at kids this year.

trick or yeet

Throw some Weierstrass function at them.

They will become future Eulers.

@epic_math Honestly, I had a professor for two courses as an undergrad, who handed out books on Halloween!

She'd spend $300-$400 on books, and ask students to donate a favorite book from their childhood, appropriate for various ages, and if she had any left-overs, she'd donate them to school libraries!

@amWhy get that woman an Unsung Hero badge

@Integrand Indeed!
