  6. John Andrzej Odrzywolek has bravely reinvented the wheel by declaring that you can derive math's most basic operations using... math's most basic operations! πŸš€πŸ€” Apparently, the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything is a single function and the number 1. Who knew? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

  7. Ah yes, another thrilling ride through mathematical history where #Archimedes heroically totals a series to 1/3 🀯. Because, you know, nothing screams "compendious amusements" like watching black squares and triangles duke it out for dominance in a unit square. πŸ“πŸŽ‰ Clearly, the future of #entertainment is... geometry!

  8. Eureka! πŸŽ‰ Now, thanks to Hilbert space, you can treat functions like vectorsβ€”because who wouldn't want to add some dimension to their #math misery? 🀯 Finally, a way to get lost in infinite math space, because three dimensions just aren't enough! πŸ™ƒ

  23. πŸ₯§ Happy Pi Day, everyone!

    Today we honour the magical number Ο€ (about 3.14) and, of course, our favourite pies! πŸ•

    Fun fact: if you wrote out the digits of Ο€, they’d stretch infinitely β€”just like my cravings for spicy pie as a cutie bi ;) 🌢️

    Let’s celebrate with delicious slices and a sprinkle of math magic! What’s your fave kind of pie: sweet or savoury?
