I had a lot of fun investigating fast ways to generate sine waves:

If birds are getting renamed, why can't we rename Lemma and Theorems?
Is there anything in the works I am unaware of?
I throw out mathober prompts all the time when I currate the list that have peoples names.

📖🤓 Ah, the riveting world of math symbols—because obviously, everyone is desperate to know why their #calculator has more obscure squiggles than a modern #art exhibit. 😴🔢 Dr. Drang's deep dive into Rojas's dusty tome is surely what the Internet was clamoring for—because who doesn't want to cozy up with a thrilling bedtime story about the Ampersand? 💤📚

`Although the term "matrix" was introduced into mathematical literature by James Joseph Sylvester in 1850, the credit for founding the theory of matrices must be given to Arthur Cayley, since he published the first expository articles on the subject. ... Cayley's introductory paper in matrix theory was written in French and published in a German periodical [in 1855]`

OMG, it took humanity 100 years to solve a math problem that today’s students learn in a week?! 🤯 Must've been a wild ride from "How do we map this circle with straight lines?" to "Oops, we solved it by accident!" 🗺️📜 Guess Mercator should've just waited for the next edition of "Calculus for Dummies!" 📚🤣

The Quest to Decode the Mandelbrot Set, Math’s Famed Fractal
By Jordana Cepelewicz
For decades, a small group of mathematicians has patiently unraveled the mystery of what was once math’s most popular picture. Their story shows how technology transforms even the most abstract mathematical landscapes.

Ever wondered since when the symbol = has been in use to claim equality of mathematical terms or equations?
MacTutor by the University of St. Andrews provides Math-history background on this as well as on many other subjects.
Go down the rabbit hole here:

The #SuryaSiddhanta's methods for calculating the positions of the sun and moon at times specify that the absolute value of the jya of an arc must be added to some value in some cases, and subtracted in others.
Since the jya is the predecessor to the modern sine, in this we see the earliest inklings of negative values of trigonometric functions. It's interesting how ideas develop.
