AbidA

AbidA tells mathematicians she's a computer scientist and CS people she's a mathematician so she never has to answer any questions.

hey @TheWarOnCars would it be possible to have an episode detailing both the Apple Store and the Raleigh Christmas Parade crash? Maybe to talk about what safety features went wrong?

@SC_Griffith I actually did a selfie (no coffee on the light rail tho)

@IM_Inman @cdisalvo I use Beamer (but my LaTeX skills are pretty decent, that's a steep learning curve)

Some days it seems like all of math is just linear algebra.

[AbidA @kittenometry]

@tmalsburg @anna_pryslopska As part of LaTeX, I use TiKz (often with https://t.co/jHUfXWL1io)

@TaliaRinger Sometimes it takes several iterations. If it's too much, you can say "Sorry, I'm not getting it. Can you write it down for me? I'll figure it out and get back to you as soon as I can." With good rapport, you can also ask if someone else in the class can answer.

[AbidA @kittenometry]

@TaliaRinger Is this something where repeating helps? "I think you are asking <rephrase question to best understanding>. Is that your question?" If yes, answer. If no, get them to ask with rewording and try again.

Can anyone help me get the wording of this paragraph better?

[AbidA @kittenometry]

@SC_Griffith tired

@SC_Griffith somehow a #MathCoffeeSelfie

I don't have a good way of running a grammar checker on my work. I copy the LaTeX into Word and just click through things like "\scalebox isn't a word!" but it's so tedious

it's always 'the dwarves dug too greedily and too deep' and never 'who left a demon of flame and shadow down there in the first place'

@ClaudioJacobo Actually I have a hierarchy of colors so it might take multiple passes. Yellow for supporting ideas, green for things I don't understand, orange for potential references to read.

[AbidA @kittenometry]

@ClaudioJacobo Skim first, highlighting in blue anything that seems like a main topic or important idea (often first sentence of a paragraph). Then go back through and read the blue, writing questions in margin. Then read remainder to see if questions answered.

@sarah_zrf @SC_Griffith I should have been more clear but I was too excited by the rat emoji 🐀🔤

@VectorsWithVit @SC_Griffith What's your shirt? Algebra something?
