17:00
It is what keeps me alive =)
hahaha good
Mildly amusing, no?
yes
@N3buchadnezzar cartoon thingy
Flight of the bumblebee on accordian is very impressive by the way.
@N3buchadnezzar really?
@N3buchadnezzar COOL
@N3buchadnezzar accordians makes me think of tango
@Charlie I trained that Monkey well
@Charlie tango makes me think of green
17:09
@Charlie Do you know tango ?
You know what is sad, guys?
@N3buchadnezzar not much. my granny soes, my greatgranny did, mom , i think she knows
@PeterTamaroff yes
@PeterTamaroff cancer, and 9/11
@N3buchadnezzar I always knew this one
classical tango
@N3buchadnezzar yes... :-/
I mean $\in \text{Mathematics}$.
17:10
This is alpha, this is bravo why is tango dancing ?
@PeterTamaroff math is sad
}:)
kidding
if someone else asks what is math for....
I'll say : "To screw with your life"
@N3buchadnezzar ??
@AlexanderGruber Hi Grubby
Alpha and Bravo are codenames used in military, so is tango
oooooooooooooooooooooowwww
It is sad when some results lose their "attraction".
@Charlie hiya chali
17:13
@PeterTamaroff yes, pedro...
@PeterTamaroff they need some lemmas to "spice things up"
@PeterTamaroff ae you like that too?
When they become so natural they lose the "mysteriousness".
Like pythagoras
17:14
It's like when you hear an amazing song, and then you learn to play it.
@N3buchadnezzar ah, so cool to know!
@PeterTamaroff i think they call that "Grothendieck depression"
Are there any tricks for solving $64^{53} mod 187$?
@Clash Awww yisss. Bread crumbs.
@Clash Prayers
17:14
@Clash You mean THEOREMS.
@Clash What is $\varphi(187)$?
@AlexanderGruber ow...
I'm depressed
@Charlie aw. why so glum, chum?
@AlexanderGruber Really? Look at my facebook =)
@Charlie brings forth the monkey again, to play some tango music
@PeterTamaroff I don't know what you mean with $\varphi(187)$
17:16
@AlexanderGruber many things... i can't even study math anymore
@Clash I would factor 187 first.
@N3buchadnezzar hehe half laugh
how am I going to put these two equations together at the end?
@PeterTamaroff haha i like that guy
@Charlie writers block?
Thus $$187=11 \times 17$$ Reduce your problem to $$64^{53}\mod 11\\64^{53}\mod 17$$
17:17
@AlexanderGruber hmm?
Then use that $64^{16}\equiv 1\mod 17\;\;;\;64^{10}\equiv 1\mod 11$.
How am I going to put these two equations together at the end?
why ducks so funny?
@Charlie when i was a writer i used to suffer from "writer's block" sometimes - when you can't figure out what you want to write about. lack of inspiration/motivation. it happens in math now, too
@Clash You have to use the Chinese Remainder Theorem.
There must be a faster way
@N3buchadnezzar hahahaha
@AlexanderGruber ow...
@Clash Sure, use Wolfram Alpha or the like...
I'm looking for tricks like $45^5 mod 47 = (-2)^5 mod 47$
But what is the fun with that?
17:19
@PeterTamaroff of course I don't mean Wolfram...
write \equiv
@Clash Note that $64\equiv -2\mod 11$. And $64\equiv -4\mod 17$.
@Charlie you should take up photography.
@AlexanderGruber why?
@Charlie To capture the world through your eyes?
17:25
@N3buchadnezzar i take photographies sometimes
i post some in my fb page
@Clash I am getting $x\equiv 3\mod 11,x\equiv 13\mod 17$.
@PeterTamaroff thanks, you are correct, there is no faster way than using Euklid
@Charlie it's theraputic.
@AlexanderGruber yes, a bit
there are photographers in my family
As this is a exercise about RSA, I can do a trick
$64^107 mod 187 = 8^(214 mod \varphi(N)) mod 187$
with $\varphi(N) = (P-1)(Q-1) = 10*16 = 160$
17:29
Why do people always bring up limits when people talk about infinity?
because it's cool
@PeterTamaroff You gotta push it to the limit?
Let's talk about infinity
it's a new talkshow
receive your host, Peter Tamaroff
@Charlie i just sold a camera to someone for 1/2 price last night with the caveat that they must mail me a photograph every week for a year.
Todays topics are: Infinity a a number, fact or false.
Is infinity is it stronger or weaker than zero, in todays showdown we look at $0 \cdot \infty$
and last but not least has anyone actually counted to infinity twice
17:35
@AlexanderGruber oh!
@N3buchadnezzar we will receive someone who claims to have solved continuum hypotheis! Don't go away stay with us
@Charlie There should be a show where they gather mathematicians in a house, and those who do not manage to solve the weekly problems gets voted out.
@N3buchadnezzar that would be awesome
a mathematician reality show
:D
There is only one who would win
But they could make teams, only to stab each other in the back at some point.
17:44
YES
@Charlie Needs a character like Ramsey to make fun of theirs proofs.
@N3buchadnezzar haha totally
I am reading such a nice book, @peter
@N3buchadnezzar i'll volunteer for that
I'd like to see mathematicians in funny situations
@AlexanderGruber IN MOTHER RUSSIA PROOFS LIKE THAT GET FAMILIES PUT IN GULAG
2
17:52
@N3buchadnezzar maybe you'd be better at it :p
@Charlie if they made a mathematicians vs. physicists gameshow i'd watch every. second. of it.
HAHAHAHHA
@AlexanderGruber Whaaat is heee doiiing, heee uses $dx/dy$ as a ratio!
We should start it as a webshow
The crowd goes wild
:DDDD
AAAH, THAT WOULD BE SO FUNNY
17:56
@Charlie to make it fair they'd have to do challenges unrelated to their careers, like cook a cheesecake, or pick up women at the bar.
i'd love to see them strategize.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
@N3buchadnezzar LOL duder that's funny
TONY STARK HAHAHAHA
@Charlie LMAO
@AlexanderGruber We need three teams
Where would all the jokes be if not for the engineers?
A mathematician, a physicist and a engineer walk into a bar..
18:00
@N3buchadnezzar oh shit...I am an engineer. LOL
@Charlie Huat book are you reading?
I had two friends in school. One became physicist, the other engineer and I'm mathematician XD
@AlexanderGruber They need to change a lightbulb, and paint a house.
@PeterTamaroff Proofs of the Cantor Bernstein Theorem: A mathematical excursion
@TonyStark what flavor?
18:02
I sovjiet russa we do not paint houses, we just feed our animals with dynamite.
@Charlie i have a bunch of physicist and engineer friends from undergrad. but now they all make a lot money money than i do, so i guess the joke's on me.
@AlexanderGruber Not really, math dudes are bad ass
@AlexanderGruber You kept your soul
@AlexanderGruber hahaah
@Charlie LOL duder mane
come on
engineers are kewl dudes
18:05
@Charlie Ah! How long is it?
why math stackexchange frontpage keeps giving me the ads of parenting ffs\
@PeterTamaroff almost 500 pages
@TonyStark Sure, if you have a million dollar suit and a wife like Pepper Potts.
@PeterTamaroff LOL
@TonyStark Tony is not 20 years old
18:07
@Charlie dayum forgot to change my bday
Stark was based on Howard Hughes
@TonyStark Mwahaha
Howard was cool
@Charlie Whaaaa....? How many proofs does it contain?
@Charlie Howard Stark was based on him
@PeterTamaroff many proofs, all since 1870
@Charlie Ah. And how is it going with it?
18:10
@PeterTamaroff it's cool
Gotta do my ODE proj nao, ttyl guys
Bye
what does ttyl mean?
18:25
Heya
heya
@Charlie thanks to y'all
talk to you later?
18:58
Hi all! I just dropped in as this room seems a lot more lively than the one of MathOverflow. Is there anything specific being done to keep vloume up, or is this just how things developped?
@quid When activity is low, we make jokes.
Try to read the last few pages, they are rather humorus.
@N3buchadnezzar: on MO there used to be a question (it is still there but closed) if good math jokes exist, the conclusion of some being, based on the given examples, clealry no. ;-) But of course one could try general jokes.
I don't like MO
@Charlie: why?
they are boring
19:03
Proof dogs have 9 legs.
Assumption: No dog has 5 legs
A dog has 4 more legs than no dog.
Hence a dog has 9 legs.
$\varnothing \text {instein}$
$\text {S} \small \varnothing \text {vik}$
@Charlie: boring?! we have some quite lively discussions sometimes. But true it is likely not to everybodies taste. But still, boring! Can't be. ;-)
@quid it's me.... I think everything is boring
We have hen fights, gamble money and occasionaly take photos of things.
Also there was this incident with that monkey..
that monkey...
19:08
@N3buchadnezzar: I am pretty sure there are some dogs with five legs ;-)
Yes, and his name is No ;)
@Charlie: I see.
@N3buchadnezzar: so the joke is case sensitive? Tricky.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Does one reply with a string of b s or e s or not at all?
reply whateva you wanna
19:17
Now, there is too much choice for doing anything spontaneous. You know, boring. ;-)
do you have a tic or something?
you blink your eye too much
I will try to keep that under control.
ok ok
you change the meaning of things when you blink
@quid hey quid, will you show us that proof ;)
what proof?
@quid that proof ;)
19:24
That there is a dog with five legs? Not so motivated to search for this.
@quid law of excluded middle ;)
I prefer to call it 'tertium non datur'
@quid I know ;)
tertium non datur
It seems in the end you quite like the blinking.
@quid no. I was showing how annoying it is
19:33
I did not want to annoy you or anybody, sorry. I am just not so good in the usage of emoticons.
@quid it's okay, don't worry
@quid you have emotion, try to find the proper emoticons to it
@Charlie: once I searched a page trying to grasp the many different variants. This turned out to be a bit too complex for me so I use ;-) if I want to express something is intended as playful/not too serious and :-) for more genuine hapiness or friendy approval. Everything else is beyond me. But perhaps the above is a non-idomatic usage.
@quid hmm interesting
20:00
Hi buddies, @skull @anon @jayesh
hello
how are you three?
mega hungover
20:01
@Charlie Fine thanks. How are you?
@skullpatrol meh
@anon good
wut
good so I learn my lesson? :P
@anon yes
@AlexanderGruber
Glexander Aruber
20:10
Once one reads enough book, one realizes no-one integrates like the Russians.
No one do nothing like the russians
@Charlie does
No one does nothing like the russians
@PeterTamaroff thanks, couldn't edit, more than 2 min
No one is Russian, except the Russians.
@skullpatrol do you like tetris?
20:16
@Charlie Yipyipyip
@Charlie No one does anything like the Russians.
@Charlie Don't get angry, I am just teasing.
@PeterTamaroff No one does anything like the russians
Russian do things like no one does
@Charlie Yeah.
20:20
@PeterTamaroff you are slower today
@skullpatrol wanna play?
@Charlie Thanks :D
@skullpatrol Grammar Czar
@Charlie Indeed.
Hello fellows
20:22
@Charlie You mean Tsar!
| local da morte = Ecaterimburgo, União Soviética | data de enterro = | local de enterro = Catedral de Pedro e Paulo,São Petesburgo, Rússia | assinatura = Nicholas II Signature.svg | religião = Ortodoxa Russa }} Czar Nicolau II (Nikolái Alieksándrovich Románov; russo Николáй Алексáндрович Ромáнов) foi o último , e grão-duque da Finlândia. Nasceu no Palácio de Catarina, em Tsarskoye Selo, próximo de São Petersburgo, em 18 de maio (6 de maio no calendário juliano) de 1868. É também conhecido como São Nicolau o Portador da Paixão pela Igreja Ortodoxa Russa. Q...
@PeterTamaroff we use Czar :/
@Charlie I know, I'm kidding gurrrrrl.
Grammar Ceasar
Who's Russian here
?
@Charlie Why do you think my name is Peter Nicholas?
;)
20:23
@PeterTamaroff you playing with fire...
Peter the Great, Peter I or Pyotr Alexeyevich () ( – ) ruled the Tsardom of Russia and later the Russian Empire from until his death, jointly ruling before 1696 with his half-brother. In numerous successful wars he expanded the Tsardom into a huge empire that became a major European power. According to historian James Cracraft, he led a cultural revolution that replaced the traditionalist and medieval social and political system with a modern, scientific, Europe-oriented, and rationalist system.James Cracraft, The Revolution of Peter the Great (Harvard University Press, 2003) [...
@PeterTamaroff because you lack of better name choices
@Charlie Ouch!
@Charlie ... unless you wanna get burned
yeah
20:26
Does any body know a Russian Geometer called Alexander Alexandroff?
@saadtaame Yeah. Wasn't he a topologist?
My name came from a poem
Ah, no. Pavel Alexandroff is the topologist.
@PeterTamaroff he said Geometer
@saadtaame This one
@anon Anuuuuuun.
20:29
yes pedro-san
@PeterTamaroff Yes Pet
@anon Let $A$ be a subset of the real numbers with the following property: If $a,b\in A$ and $a\neq b$ then $\frac{a+b}2\notin A$. Then $A$ has measure zero. I think it is not that complicated.
He wrote a book on convex polytopes, I was hoping somebody has an electronic version...
@saadtaame No clue.
Ой полным полна моя кoробушка
Есть и ситец, и парча.
Пожалей, душа-зазнобушка,
Молодецкого плеча.
20:40
Translation?
Oh, my crate is so full,
I've got chintz and brocade.
Take pity, oh sweety,
Of this lad's shoulder
I wish I haven't asked for a translation
why?
I tought it has to do with math :D
hahahah
20:45
What's the best math joke you've heard?
hmmmmmm good question
@saadtaame do you know any?
You are calling an imaginary number, rotate phone 90 degrees and try again
oh
@saadtaame What's nonorientable and lives in the sea?
ow, this one is horrible:
What does the little mermaid wear?
an Algebra
kleine bottle :D
I was going to say mobius ray (as in, a mantra ray, but in the form of a mobius strip)
20:58
@saadtaame Moebius Dick
What's purple and commutes?
@Charlie Abelian grapes!
no idea
20:59
@PeterTamaroff yeah
:)
@anon I already read it
@anon ALL THE PUNS!!!
some are not funny
i understand
but, where is the fun?
i used to laugh a lot in my real analysis lectures
more than others, sometimes
@PeterTamaroff Petrus
@Charlie Whut, whut?
@PeterTamaroff nada, nada
there are many versions of Pedro
@PeterTamaroff "The name Peter itself is a translation of the Aramaic Kephas or Cephas meaning "stone"."
@Charlie Yes.
21:36
@robjohn All hail le Rob.
@PeterTamaroff why is that?
@PeterTamaroff rain is fine, hail not so much...
I sense a question coming...
@Charlie Now that you say so, why not?
@PeterTamaroff why not?
Let $A$ be a subset of the reals with the following property: if $a,b\in A$, $a\neq b$, then $a+b\notin 2A$. Then $A$ has measure zero.
21:44
That means that for any two distinct elements of $A$, their average is not in $A$.
@robjohn Yes.
It just didn't like fractions.
@Charlie Gotta go, see ya.
@skullpatrol Bye, bye, Skull :)
@PeterTamaroff haha Pedro, I've just remembered that mommy used to say when I was a kid :"who plays with fire, pees on bed"
@Charlie Pees on bed? DAFARABAK?
22:00
hahahahaha
@PeterTamaroff that's new
dafarabak?
@Charlie Whatever.
hahaha
hi @ethan
hi
how are you doing?
bored
you?
22:12
kind same
@Ethan c'mon!!!
lol
new badge proposal: "Sugah Daddy." earned by offering 10k rep on others' questions.
haha
@AlexanderGruber HAHHAHAAHA
Rep PIMP.
@AlexanderGruber in bounties?
22:15
@robjohn yeah.
there could be bounty hunters
"I answer, as long as you give more rep"
@Charlie for each 10K in bounty collected earned?
@Charlie "Boba Fett."
@AlexanderGruber Exactly what i thought
@PeterTamaroff looking at a point of density should make things pretty easy.
22:24
$$\sum_{d\mid n}\sin(td)=S_t(n)$$
$$\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}S_t(k)S_t(n-k)=\frac{\sigma(n)-d(n)}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\sum_{d\mid n}(d-1)\cos(td)-\csc(\frac{t}{2})\sum_{d\mid n}\sin(\frac{td}{2})\cos(\frac{t(d+1)}{2})+n\sum_{d\mid n}\frac{\cos(td)}{d}$$
$t:\frac{\pi}{4}$ gives the jacobi four square identity
hmmmmmmmm
$\sin(\frac{\pi d}{4})=\chi_4(d)$
@robjohn What do you mean by "a point of density"?
In mathematics, Lebesgue's density theorem states that for any Lebesgue measurable set A, the "density" of A is 1 at almost every point in A. Intuitively, this means that the "edge" of A, the set of points in A whose "neighborhood" is partially in A and partially outside of A, is negligible. Let μ be the Lebesgue measure on the Euclidean space Rn and A be a Lebesgue measurable subset of Rn. Define the approximate density of A in a ε-neighborhood of a point x in Rn as : d_\varepsilon(x)=\frac{\mu(A\cap B_\varepsilon(x))}{\mu(B_\varepsilon(x))} where Bε denotes the closed ball of radius...
@Charlie $$\left(\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x^{n^2}\right)^2=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{\chi_4(n)x^n}{1-x^n}$$
22:27
@Ethan Oh!!
$$\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}\sigma_3(k)\sigma_3(n-k)=\frac{\sigma_7(n)-\sigma_3(n)}{120}$$
$$[r,j]=\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}\sigma_r(k)\sigma_j(n-k)$$
$$\sum_{j=1}^k\binom{2k}{2j-1}[2(k-j)+1,2j-1]$$
$$=\frac{\sigma_{2k+1}(n)-\sigma_{2k}(n)-2n\sigma_{2k-1}(n)}{2}+\sum_{j=0}^{2k}\binom{2k}{j}\frac{B_{2k-j}}{j+1}\sigma_{j+1}(n)$$
Ethan, STAHP! You'll overheat meh brainz!
@Ethan what's this all for?
just stuff
hmmmm
22:34
@Charlie math.stackexchange.com/users/72031/paramanand-singh, basically gives a nice proof of the first identity on his blog, only in terms of there generating functions paramanands.blogspot.com/search?q=lambert#.UesQLtLVAhM
