@Anthony_Bonato This image is to mathematicians what the blue dress is to the rest of the world.

@mxmclain It’s a normal response to a very un-normal situation.

The one thing in my control for seasonal depression was to change my lightbulbs to (app-programmable) Philips Hue (using a starter kit) - it made such a difference.

@_D_741Stef @PhysInHistory Same.

@russellbrunson STEM folks communicating with non-STEM folks is a close second.

@GaryMarcus math, physics, astronomy 🔭
The fediverse is still catching up those.

@dr_alphalyrae 4. supply chain

@clairevo 16 years ago, I was hired to fix a problem. Fixed it. Then there was another problem in another area, worked that too. Many problems and solutions from then till now. Was tagged to solve yet another problem that required seniority+expertise. Worked it. Then consultants came.

@DeGatchi 💯

As a mathematician, you become the universal translator.

The side benefits include: learning new languages (of the different disciplines ), expanding on ideas, identifying previously unrecognized assumptions or constraints, cross-pollinating, inventions, algorithms, etc!!!

[Monica💜STEM @MoMathDoc]

@PhysInHistory You can discover the universe within mathematics.

@slater_paul I couldn’t do that with our dog - she’d take the candy and run!

@uncle_deluge Some of us were part of the older generation that created and developed on those computers.

@Anthony_Bonato You know this prompt is like coffee for working mathematics.

@Carey23Mark @Anthony_Bonato When I was working on designing field experiments a la ‘design of experiments’ in my first job after my postdocs, Sloane’s book on Orthogonal Arrays was instrumental. He covered Latin squares, error-correcting codes, factorial experiments among the many concepts in use today.

@SahilBloom 💯

Learning advanced maths can be lonely too.
It’s a journey, not a destination.
The ‘end-points’ are really scenic stops where you get to reflect on how far you’ve come and how much you’ve learned and grown.
Sit with it all.
The next steps always come.

@PhysInHistory Seriously

[Monica💜STEM @MoMathDoc]

@shurensha Keep at it!

Applied math is a test of comprehension. It takes time, practice, and repeated exposure to different concepts and problems to get good at recognizing patterns (this is diff eqs, this is combinatorics, …)

@Anthony_Bonato Let us investigate together.

Run this code snippet so you can follow along.

[Monica💜STEM @MoMathDoc]

@rishad0x3 @DeGatchi Cryptography
Circuits
Correctness
Composition
(These four alone account for multi-trillion businesses. Every economy uses at least one of these).

Then the fun stuff is in advanced computer vision,
projective algebras, and robotics, and GAI.

There are many more applications.

[Monica💜STEM @MoMathDoc]

@_alexbrogan This is true.
