@KingSolomon006 I have no idea, you’d probably want to @ their editor. This is just a weird nft project.

This proof was later on the first qualifying exam I took. The skull is a signifier of the questions I was asked on my actual exams.

Story behind the proof 🔲 🧵

[annalsofmath @annalsofmath]

Sure, you can copy a proof, but to understand it, you really have be able to visualize the entire process happening in your mind, as well as on paper.

[annalsofmath @annalsofmath]

Working in math proofs require nothing but a piece of paper, a writing instrument, and a creative mind. Truly the most accessible field of science.

@eth_jbiz What uuuup

[annalsofmath @annalsofmath]

I kept these proofs in a binder for the last ten years working ad an educator, but once I saw the intrinsic beauty of the collection as a whole, I had to share them. End 🧵

[annalsofmath @annalsofmath]

I received an M.A. in mathematics degree in 2013, and to do so I had to pass my Qualifying Exams. I had four total attempts.

[annalsofmath @annalsofmath]

These proofs were written during my time studying, which in total was around 600 hours. The problems are past qualifying exam problems and problems for some of my graduate courses.

[annalsofmath @annalsofmath]

My first attempt was a score of 72 in Abstract Algebra, and 46 in Analysis. The second time I scored an 85 in Algebra and a 52 in Analysis, allowing me an M.A., but no chance of PhD study.

[annalsofmath @annalsofmath]

The next two attempts, taken at another university, were taken in abstract algebra and real/complex analysis. 50/100 was required for a masters candidate, and 60/100 for a PhD candidate.

[annalsofmath @annalsofmath]

The first two attempts, I studied for a total of 300 hours, and was unable to turn in a single correct problem.

There will not be a discord. Just math.

The collection of proofs is now complete - 289 in total with full meta data. These proofs took me hundreds of hours of work, and I'm glad they can exist in Web 3 forever now.
