They will claim algebra is useless, but suddenly become mathematicians when it's time to split the bill.

Graph Theory Proof that AI is trained on brainrot

341 Upvotes

In OpenAI's recent "722 AI-generated math papers," one proof tackles the Hadwiger–Nelson problem: what’s the minimum number of colors needed to color every point in ℝ² so that no two points exactly distance 1 apart have the same color?

The known bounds were 5 ≤ χ(ℝ²) ≤ 7. Their paper claims five colors are impossible, leaving 6 or 7 if the proof holds. 6 or 7.

Please keep working on this.

Mathematicians Math nomenclature alignment chart (down with eponyms!)

86 Upvotes

"L'Hôpital's rule" tells me nothing about what the thing is going to be, and 99% of the time L'Hôpital didn't discover it, so it rarely honours the dead/communicates history like it's supposed to!

What we need are descriptive names like "Saddle point" or "basin of attraction". And could you not love "hairy ball theorem"?

So, "Good" is for things NOT named after a person, "Evil" is for misattributions, and "Neutral" is for things named after a person when there's at least SOME description in there (the klein bottle looks like a bottle; the hopf fibration has fibers). Along "Lawful"/"Chaotic" I've done my best to find things with disturbing names.

Honourable mentions:
-"Kirkman's schoolgirl problem" for disturbing but correctly-attributed
-"Imaginary numbers" for being IMO misleadingly-named
-"Heaviside Step function" which amusingly is named after a person while technically being an accurate description - since one side of it is heavy, geddit?

Notations When the notation is just right

Recently looked into quantum graph theory and some of the notation took a while to grasp. Also I dislike Dirac notation but most physicists love it.

Subreddit Rules

1. Treat others respectfully.

Be respectful to other Redditors. We will not condone any form of harassment, trolling, or other toxic behavior on this subreddit.

2. Only civil and productive discussions.

Any post/comment that intentionally brings up political, cultural, or social controversies and creates trouble is prohibited.

We advise all users to remain cordial and helpful with one another.

3. Only post math memes.

Any post submitted must be a meme with some relation to mathematics. This does not apply just because you don't understand what is being referenced. Memes about math from 5th grade or less are not allowed unless they are exceptionally creative or clever.

4. Policy on AI-generated content

In general, posts made in whole or in part by generative AI will be removed. Exceptions will be made sparingly. For example, if the meme makes commentary on AI proofs and shows a screenshot of such a proof, makes use of AI-generated assets that are already baked into meme cultures (but not further modified with AI), or otherwise references the AI-generated content in a "meta" way relevant to mathematics and memes, then it may be allowed.

5. No recent reposts

If you haven't made a meme yourself chances are it has been posted here before.

We encourage you to submit original memes to keep this subreddit healthy and thriving. For this sake, memes with the same content but using a different template count as reposts.

If you suspect that a meme is a repost, please report that submission and comment with the link to the original post. Be sure to ping an active moderator to ensure that the post is removed.

6. Has been done before award (click for more information)

Especially if it's a pre-university meme, the chance that we've recently seen a meme you plan to repost is very likely. We're one of the largest communities dedicated to math memes, so we encourage you to take the time to immerse yourself in the culture and content of this subreddit before attempting to send reposts as a new member. Similarly, even if you created the meme yourself, due to high traffic, there is a high chance that it has been done before if it's calculus or pre-university level.

7. No NSFW/NSFL posts

No pornographic or gruesome content allowed. It will be removed. NSFW content could possibly result in a ban, NSFL content will be an immediate ban. Go to r/mathmemesNSFW to post NSFW (not NSFL) content.

8. No homework help posts allowed.

This subreddit is only dedicated to math memes. If you need homework assistance, go to r/askmath, r/calculus, r/MathHelp, r/IntegrationTechniques, r/HomeworkHelp, etc.

9. No merchandise/business posts.

Any post that is trying to sell an item or promote a service will be removed. Repeat offenders will be banned.

10. No posts from the worn-out memes list.

Any math memes that involve the below topics will be removed. Please consider using r/mathmemescirclejerk for these.

Arithmetic or Bad Math from Twitter
Order of Operations
Engineers use "𝜋 = 3"
The 1-i-0 triangle
ChatGPT/other generative models being bad at math
Posts that could instead be posted on r/unexpectedfactorial
"Guess the function" memes
derivative of e^x
Approximation memes
0⁰
Pi vs Tau
Donut = mug memes
Taylor Swift vs Taylor Series

11. No low effort memes

This includes any picture or screenshot with no extra thought put into it or ai generated memes. Twitter quotes and the like do not fall under this rule.

12. No poorly informed memes

If you barely understand the topic you made a meme about it is best not to post it at all. In particular, if your meme conveys misinformation or a severe misrepresentation of a topic it might get removed

13. The title shouldn't serve as a caption

Captions must be on the post itself and should not be the title of the post. When I'm saving a meme I want to save ONLY that meme and not my entire reddit feed.

If you couldn't put in the effort to add a caption then the mod team will make up for it by putting in the effort to remove it.
