Posting on all my other networks, trying to see if I can't jump start this Scotland Instance :)

@rodti New member here, love the idea of this #Scotland social network, really hope we can jump start it somehow! I've posted it on r/scotland and on my other social profiles, would be awesome to see it come alive :)

Hello. I don't have an elaborate story to tell about how I came from Matosphere or something like that, but I will tell you this seems like a nice alternative to Twitter. Nice to see you all!

Check out this sweet sword! I'd have given it more of an edge, but it's rather lovely:)

@Nyoei I've always had this fan-style love of general relativity. E=MC^2 just kind of captured my imagination as a kid. The idea that five or six symbols could define something fundamental about the universe was big to me. And that this something could be tested and proven correct or incorrect really just jived with how my mind worked then and still works now.

I am all about Professor Zvezdelina Stankova right now. Her lectures on mathematics are brilliant, easy to understand, and i love that smirk she always gets when she reveals a really intriguing proof. I hope I get to see her in person one day.

@Nyoei Well there is absolutely no advantage to memorizing digits other than practice i memorizing stuff. Just memorize a fractional approximation.

22/7 is off from pi by only ~1/791

If that isnt accurate eough then 355/113 approximates pi within ~1/3000000

Both of these are far more accurate than any digits you could memorize.

Sophomore Stephen Baker would like to recognize Professor Peter Drake (Mathematics). β€œHe’s a fantastic professor because I feel as though I have a good understanding of all the topics he covers. He always keeps thingsΒ Β interesting & engaging, and I look forward to every class.”

Quick question. What mathematical constants would you say are worth memorising?
