@TedShifrin oui je parle de ma somme

Ted Shifrin

With you as a teacher, @Pedro? Couldn't be worse than the tennis lesson.

Lord_Farin

@Mike Our presence seems shift-like, because my leaving often occurs close to your arrival :).

Ted Shifrin

Non, @pourjour, il faut diviser la somme par $r$.

@Lord, @Mike often arrives at 7 AM his time.

pourjour

@TedShifrin oui exactement

Ted Shifrin

23:00

OK, @pourjour. C'est fini, alors :)

Lord_Farin

@TedShifrin I tend to leave 12AM my time.

pourjour

@TedShifrin oui, merci pour votre temps

Ted Shifrin

Pas de quoi, @pourjour. Bonne chance!

pourjour

@TedShifrin Merci

Ted Shifrin

pas de ç :P

Chris's sis

23:03

@TedShifrin I have something you might like ....

Ted Shifrin

I like nothing.

Chris's sis

:D

Pedro Tamaroff

@Chris'ssis $42$.

pourjour

@TedShifrin ta langue française est bonne

Ted Shifrin

Merci bien, @pourjour. Je fais de mon mieux :P

Chris's sis

23:04

@PedroTamaroff How did you get that?

pourjour

@TedShifrin Merci pour la correction

Ted Shifrin

He got it facetiously, @Chris'ssis.

Chris's sis

@TedShifrin I wanna add it to my book.

Pedro Tamaroff

@Chris'ssis It's trivial.

Chris's sis

@PedroTamaroff Not really, not this time.

Ted Shifrin

23:06

Well, perhaps not trivial, but still any average high school student could get it in an hour? :D

Lord_Farin

That will be all for tonight, folks. Good night, and see you around :).

Ted Shifrin

night, @Lord.

shakes the room to see if it's dead

Pedro Tamaroff

@TedShifrin Rises from slumber.

Wanna practice Spanish Ted?

Ted Shifrin

LOL

Pedro Tamaroff

Read the notes I wrote. =D

Ted Shifrin

23:12

which notes?

pourjour

@TedShifrin bonne nuit

Ted Shifrin

bonne nuit, @pourjour

pourjour

@TedShifrin à bientôt

Ted Shifrin

@Pedro: I can read mathematical Spanish. That's different from actually having a conversation with a Spanish-speaker who knows no English :P

Pedro Tamaroff

@TedShifrin Well, so far I've written three set of notes: Fourier Theory, Hilber Rings, and the Structure Theorem of finite modules over PIDs.

Ted Shifrin

23:13

LOL, @Pedro. I read through the Fourier stuff ages ago.

Pedro Tamaroff

Hehehe, sure.

@TedShifrin The last one is the ST over PIDs. Wanna take a look? It is not finished but ended up looking pretty.

Ted Shifrin

OK, forward it to me. But that doesn't count as teaching me to speak Spanish.

Pedro Tamaroff

Can you "roll the r", @TedShifrin?

Ted Shifrin

Sure. The French "r" is a bit more gutteral, but I have a tongue to trill. :P

Pedro Tamaroff

Ah, true. I momentarily forgot you can French.

@TedShifrin What was the name of the student that knew Spanish?

Ted Shifrin

23:17

Um, I've forgotten. Was it Daniel?

Pedro Tamaroff

I don't remember. He was the oldest of them, I think. He was graduating.

Ted Shifrin

Oh ... graduating. Hmm ... Oh, duh, Eric. He's waiting to hear from grad schools now.

Pedro Tamaroff

Yes, Eric!

I was going to say Ethan.

Ted Shifrin

He actually spent part of a summer in Peru and speaks Spanish pretty well, I think. Plus he learned to cook :P

Pedro Tamaroff

Yes, I remember talking to him.

Ted Shifrin

23:18

He's gonna take lots of my math books :P

Alex Wertheim

@Pedro: you're graduating this year, right?

Pedro Tamaroff

@AlexWertheim No, probably next year.

Ted Shifrin

Wrong @Alex.

Pedro Tamaroff

Most surely!

Ted Shifrin

Oh, you've moved it up a year, @Pedro?

Pedro Tamaroff

23:20

@TedShifrin You can pay me in math books.

@TedShifrin What do you mean?

Ted Shifrin

Well, sure, but you gotta deliver.

Alex Wertheim

Damn, I was double wrong! I see.

Ted Shifrin

I thought that you were going to have two years after this one.

Pedro Tamaroff

I finished second year just now. Starting third year.

@TedShifrin Yes.

So I should be graduating 2016.

Ted Shifrin

Oh, I see.

Chris's sis

23:21

@robjohn I modified and uploaded the new version of L+3 and then I also put L+4 that is simply amazing, I mean it's too nice to be true, definitely, but it's pretty hard without using the proper approach.

@robjohn I still investigate other possible ways for L+4.

Ted Shifrin

The calendar is different from ours, of course, @Pedro, so I'm confuzled about which year you apply to grad school.

Pedro Tamaroff

@TedShifrin As soon as I have concluded my thesis, I should be starting, I suppose. I don't want to get ahead of myself, anyways...

Ted Shifrin

In the US, people apply by December 1 or January 1, @Pedro. I guess you can still do that, no problem. You just have some free months.

hi @Julian.

Julian Rachman

Hey. Follow my proposal: area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/82510/mathematics-advisory

2

@Ted Hello.

How is your afternoon?

Ted Shifrin

I veto your proposal.

Just fine, thanks :)

Mike Miller

23:26

But you've got another year and a half before you even start your thesis, right @Pedro?

Pedro Tamaroff

@MikeMiller Yes.

Julian Rachman

@Ted. Ok. That's good! School starts tomorrow and I have to prepare.

Ted Shifrin

@Pedro: Are you emailing me those notes?

Pedro Tamaroff

@TedShifrin I just did, silly.

Ted Shifrin

Yes, @Julian. You'd best do that! :P

Oh.

@Pedro: just arrived.

Pedro Tamaroff

23:27

@TedShifrin Well, it had to cross the border you know. =)

Julian Rachman

@Mike Hi

Ted Shifrin

I'm sure they had to check for weapons and drugs, @Pedro.

Pedro Tamaroff

@JulianRachman So, are you JUlian or JuliÁN?

Julian Rachman

@Ted yep, but I actually do not have to do much. I have to prove the field $\mathbb{R}$.

Mike Miller

I wonder if I should write up my notes on Donaldson's book. I can't imagine I'm the only one to get tripped up in details.

Julian Rachman

23:28

@Pedro Julian.

Pedro Tamaroff

@JulianRachman I read that as "Julián."

Julian Rachman

haha. what did you read?

Pedro Tamaroff

@JulianRachman "I have to prove the field $\Bbb R$"? Some words are missing there.

Julian Rachman

My name on the left

Don Larynx

Wow bartek. math.stackexchange.com/questions/1119631/…

Hi @ModdedBear

Pedro Tamaroff

23:30

@DonLarynx Please flag that next time instead of engaging.

Julian Rachman

I have to prove the propositions that have to be satisfied to have the field $\mathbb{R}$

Ted Shifrin

@Pedro: Why are you going to San Diego in March?

Julian Rachman

@Pedro

Pedro Tamaroff

@TedShifrin SHH!!!

Julian Rachman

Ya! LA!

Ted Shifrin

23:31

Hey, that was my first lesson.

Pedro Tamaroff

@TedShifrin It was!

I will visit with my father, Ted.

Ted Shifrin

Ah, cool. Well, you'd better plan to go back once I'm there :P I need lessons.

Pedro Tamaroff

It's not 100% a fact.

But hoping it is.

Don Larynx

@Pedro: First of all I did flag.

@Pedro: Your comment was not constructive.

Modded Bear

@DonLarynx Hello there

Julian Rachman

23:32

@Pedro. You can go and visit Stanford or Caltech while you are in SD

Ted Shifrin

Stanford/Berkeley are quite a ways away.

Julian Rachman

Oh

Don Larynx

@Modded: You haven't done more PE problems.

Modded Bear

no, I'll start again soon

Don Larynx

What have you been up to @Modded? I effectively retired from partying last night.

I've also quit drinking and smoking @Ted.

Ted Shifrin

23:33

I'm very proud of you, @Don.

I still drink, though. :)

Don Larynx

@Ted: There are better things in life ....

Ted Shifrin

Indeed, @Don.

OK, I'm going to cook dinner. You all behave without me.

user153330

@TedShifrin good appetite

Alex Wertheim

Enjoy dinner, @Ted. :)

Ted Shifrin

Thanks, all.

Bubye for now.

Pedro Tamaroff

23:37

@user153330 Thanks for the flag. We'll decide what to do.

Don Larynx

@PedroTamaroff it appears more users are "engaging".

Modded Bear

I think this is the third post of his

what happens to tags that are created like that?

like the tag this-is-still-pleasant

Pedro Tamaroff

Please stop posting things here guys. Just flag.

evinda

@DanielFischer Suppose that we insert 55 at the following tree:

Mike Miller

You need urgent attention?

DragonLord

23:43

I've already flagged these posts.

@MikeMiller Disregard, the mods already see this

evinda

@DanielFischer Can we now just rotate around the node with key 50 so that after 60 is 50 and after 50 is 55, so that we don't have red-red?

Julian Rachman

@Clarinetist Hi

DragonLord

Okay, it's under control. The user is suspended.

Clarinetist

Hi @JulianRachman. How are ya?

DragonLord

See ya.

user153330

23:44

@DragonLord yawza

Modded Bear

He got suspended

Clarinetist

Sure seems busy right now.

As ridiculous as this sounds, I think I'm going through a quarter-life crisis. :P

Julian Rachman

@Clarinetist Good, good. You? I am currently working on math

Modded Bear

I managed to do a oap today, I had been training four years for that.

Clarinetist

Doing fine. Getting tax information together. TIS THE LIFE!

This is the first time I'll be hiring someone to do my taxes...

Are any of you here into data science?

[I know, I know, it's not Stats SE... thought I'd just ask :P ]

Alex Wertheim

23:51

Hey @MikeMiller: would it be alright if I emailed you a few questions about grad life at some point?

Don Larynx

Quarter life crisis? @Clarinetist

Clarinetist

Yep. No idea what I'm going to do with my life at the moment.

Chris's sis

I'm out for now. @robjohn, the answer there is $\sqrt{2}$.

Don Larynx

oaps are cake, but try ohp's...no way I can do that @Modded

Clarinetist

My greatest fear is that I will be stuck as an actuary for the rest of my life.

Chris's sis

23:54

@PedroTamaroff not 42, but $\sqrt{2}$

Modded Bear

what's the difference?

Pedro Tamaroff

@Chris'ssis $42=\sqrt 2$.

Everyone knows this.

Don Larynx

oap's I just grab one arm with my other arm and pull up lol :)

Chris's sis

@PedroTamaroff You might arrange that a bit using the fractional part of $\sqrt{2}$ and get some approximation near 42 ... ;)

Modded Bear

@DonLarynx that's for noobs

I meant ohp then

Don Larynx

23:56

@Clarinetist That's normal.

I went through the same thing.

Mike Miller

@AlexWertheim You're always free to email me. I warn that I'm often slow to respond and usually don't check my emails during the weekend, but I'll read and respond.

Alex Wertheim

@MikeMiller: cool, no rush. Just looking for some information. Thanks! :)

Don Larynx

@Clarinetist I suggest you try engaging in new interests and see what works for you. That's what I did.
