just unironically used proof by contraposition for the first time in forever
it’s like seeing an old friend
not even suggested or implied by the problem i just bashed my head against a direct proof for hours before realizing contraposition would probably be easier
i missed them

I am currently more terrified by the potential of a (bad hell-adjacent) afterlife thtbhtbthbthtthb
I think this is partly a “grass is greener on the other side” thing
though. I guess if someone actually practices/fully believes a religion, they wouldn’t be very concerned about hell
well, IIRC for any complex-differentiable functions, the real and imaginary parts must both be harmonic
which means that the second partial with respect to x twice, plus the second partial with respect to y twice, equals 0
which is indeed what they want here… so that probably has something to do with it

nyaaaaaaa I have to go now but I’m assuming that once you get it into a complex function, you probably just show its complex differentiable and then use the thing in my last post

I got an email from a math professor addressing me as May, which is very strange… this means either one of my friends referred them or they got my name from the math club Discord (I have my last name on there so you can hypothetically connect it to my email)

Who the fuck mentioned me specifically by name to somebody looking for math majors to help with accepted students day

Having a woman math major would probably be helpful to them maybe I’ll do it

they didn’t even email me to help with an elementary school math contest we were hosting
i was quizbowl saturdaying that weekend anyway but it would’ve been nice for them to think about me
I have no idea who it’s from

Well that’s false. I do know who it’s from, but there’s no indication of that in the email. I know from context clues that it’s from my uncle, who my mom told me was impressed I’d made the dean’s list all of the semesters I’d been at May University (my cousin, his daughter, also went here, because she got waitlisted from MIT, and struggled with grades a lot)
