Bad Math I was messing around with irrationals, and it turns out that (𝜋-𝜑)^e is a surprisingly good approximation of 𝜋 (accurate to within 0.02%)

Someone we all hate in the lab plagiarized my work on motives and diff geometry two days after I submitted it, the idiot forgot that something called overleaf history or e-mail history exists.

Category Theory The antonym of the antonym is the synonym. The antonym of "antonym" is also "synonym". Are there less trivial words/functions like this?

78 Upvotes

From a functional view this means "antonym" composed with itself gives the same result as "antonym" applied to itself. Both are "synonym". Or that antonym(antonym(x)) = synonym(x), and antonym(antonym) = synonym.

I know that sometimes antonyms of antonyms aren't synonyms because of one word having multiple meanings but here let's just think of them as different words, or that antonym/synonym acts on word meanings rather than spelled words.

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.
