[3/3] and invented the reals, which included the rationals but also filled in the holes. So practical people just went on doing what they'd always done, but Pure Mathematicians felt better about them doing it. Daft, you might say, but let us be tolerant." 🤔

[1/3] Legend says that Hippasus of Metapontum was murdered for revealing a non-rational number (they could be that #passionate about #math !)
This description is most downgrading I ever read: "The Reals were invented for wholly mathematical reasons: there were lengths, such as

[2/3] the diagonal of the unit square which, could not be measured by the rationals. This is of not the slightest practical importance, because in real life you can measure only to some limited precision, but some people like their ideas to be clean and cool, so they went on

New work! 👇

New joint paper with @egimich and Albrecht Seelmann about a quantitative unique continuation principle via the Logvinenko-Sereda method. Known so far for Laplacian-type operators on domains only, we have extended it to systems of...

Quella che vedete si chiama Chicama si trova in un solo punto della costa peruviana ed è l'unica onda al mondo protetta dalla legge. È vietata la costruzione in un raggio di 2 km per non influenzare la formazione naturale dell'onda.

Today is #May12, the International Day of Women in Mathematics. The @UnioneMatematic , in collaboration with @CNRsocial_ and @ComicsScience has created a special issue with a comic story about Maryam Mirzakhani, which is now online https://t.co/NrYX5R8JFh

A summer school on "Heat Kernels and Spectral Geometry: from Manifolds to Graphs" will be held in Austria next summer. Lecturers: @Ananthar1Nalini (Strasbourg), David Borthwick (Emory), James B. Kennedy (Lisbon). Registrations are open!

Exciting day today: My first paper is up on Arxiv!! I’m a big boy now

We’re extending a bridge between condensed matter and algebraic geometry, built out of quantum matter on *non-euclidean crystals*

Let me tell you about it, in a friendly 🧵!

Sitting in the train writing the solution of the next Analysis exercise sheet, while a guy behind my seat complains the math test was too difficult and he can't do maths...

[Michela Egidi @egimich]

@mugnololab I does at least show that they take the course seriously

[Michela Egidi @egimich]

My students are having heated discussion about how to solve the exercises. I guess I'll take it as a good sign...?

[Michela Egidi @egimich]

@j_bertolotti @massimosandal This sounds like a lot of work and a lot of figuring out case by case. Not sure I would volunteer for the course you suggested...

[Michela Egidi @egimich]

Endless back-log list and disappearing referees mean being published 5 years after original submission, what was hot-topic is no more and this happens over and over again. Can we break this vicious circle??

@j_bertolotti That would save me and my students lots of pain!

December? Nah, can't be. Really? Well, that was a very short #Noethember. Let's finish with this: Emmy Noether was not considered a rebel, but who could know her inner thoughts in early 1900s, really. She did persist. She changed her century. #scicomm

[Michela Egidi @egimich]

@j_bertolotti I will tell this to my physics students, which are at moment suffering because of Analysis 1 and the fact they cannot apply theorems when they are not valid
