@AlgebraFact The indicator function in stats/probability. Never seen it used to denote irrationals.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

because of the utter caprice of my schooling I am enormously sympathetic w/ students who struggle in underfunded school districts yet are expected to "compete" with students from affluent districts when applying for college. it is absurdly unfair yet seems to be the American way.
