Hii, recently I found out that I actually like math and it doesn't have to be scary and it can actually be rly fun. I am very 
and new to this but hopefully becoming less lol
I have some stuff I wanna post but I don't rly have a place to do it. I just post math-related stuff in the megathreads sometimes lol (btw rly appreciate everyone who replied to me about my dumb gender math thing in the trans megathread hehe, gave me a lot to think about, I actually have a half-finished formal proof based on something that one of you said lol) but it's not a great place to do it tbh. Would be nice to have a comm for discussions that take place over longer time-periods
I have seen other people post math stuff (like our mothematician @Tomorrow_Farewell@hexbear.net :3 ) but I feel like I have missed most of it due to it being posted in rly active unspecific-topic communities. I am also available to mod a math comm
Post under here if you would be interested. And ofc a math comm should include logic-posting or rly any formal-systems-posting imo :3
I’d like a math comm, I’d be willing to moderate it as well.
You're like the original megathread math-poster :3
Should have a dedicated place to come infodump about partial differential equations or something hehe
Btw, extremely off-topic but, have you ever looked at Marx's work at trying to reinvent calculus from fundamentals? I should go back and reread now that I actually have an interest. Was reading some commentary on his work in calculus a few years ago and the author found it to be quite unique, although lacking a lot of modern understanding ofc
I’ve looked at it, it’s a cool historic artifact because Marx clearly a great thinker. But it’s contemporary to the developments of modern calculus theory, and from someone unaware of those developments, so it’s pretty dated. The form of it is what would today be called “nonstandard analysis”, is it tries to work with the concept of an infinitesimal, instead of what’s become the standard approach of rigorously defining limits. Might be worth revisiting once reading a bit of introductory analysis, and maybe modern treatment on nonstandard analysis (of which I know very little, but I think logicians have studied it a fair bit?)
Yess, I am always awed by everything Marx managed to accomplish in spite of struggling with political repression, poverty, and health issues, honestly inspiring
Calculus is one of those math topics I truly know nothing about rn (but would like to). I'm not rly sure why standard analysis become "standard" (is this cuz of another argument over consistency again lol) tbh. My understanding is that Marx's interest in calculus came out of wanting a more rigorous, "formal" structure for his work in political economy and dialectical philosophy (which I am VERY interested in). I should look into this sometime :3
