@vector depends a lot on background and goals, but -- hoping to arrange it so ppl can benefit from as little as 2-3hrs a week on avg, but probably ~twice that to follow more of the theory or get deeper into the code. tho we'll adjust the pace to what the group can manage.
lastish call: we're starting up a study group on ergodicity (a fundamental concept in physics, dynamics, chaos, and probability, that characterizes the randomness in a system) aimed at people with a moderate math background and some coding skills.
we are an explicitly queer-affirming group and we particularly welcome ppl who feel alienated from academic math.
right now we are reading http://www.mat.ucm.es/serv/revmat/vol19-1/vol19-1a_p.pdf
our code is at https://github.com/faec/IntervalExchange
exercises are at https://github.com/faec/IntervalExchange/blob/master/Exercises/exercises1.md

hey if u are interested in math u should join our study group on ✨ergodicity✨
pad out your spellbook! cope with this hellworld by spending time contemplating mystery and beauty! we have a discord and we will not stop until we learn some neat things! ping me for an invite ^^
heyyy does anyone want to learn about ergodicity (~the mathematical foundation of chaos theory, if that sounds more appealing, tho also of a lot of other things)? enough to consider joining a reading / coding study group about it?
the prerequisites are probably less than u think, and u'll get to learn about one of the most important developments in 20th century math :D

Hello, everyone! If you've been following @maloki for updates on the ongoing effort to #ForkTogether, then you may be happy to know that we had our first meeting on Saturday and are still planning out governance and infrastructure before the project "officially" starts.
If you're looking to follow the progress of the fork, or you're looking to get involved, follow here for updates!
"what's your favorite exceptional configuration?" is a question i was just asked

partner at the airport, looking at my luggage: that's full of books, isn't it
me: there are... a few books?
partner: you have like seven books in there don't you
me: that's not a lot!!
ftr i counted when i got here and there were 12 <_<
i don't have remotely the context for an informed opinion on politics here but yknow, i'm easy, tell me "there's a minority whose government was partially dismantled and language was banned in living memory and now some of them want independence" and i'm all over that shit
[realizes one could use webassembly to do real-time synth stuff in a web environment] oh shit
u know when some bullshit is going down and u freeze up but then 6 hours later u think of the perfect thing to say? visiting a country where u're learning the language is like that but for literally every interaction
some day i will do a good enough math that someone will let me teach them how to math
periodic invitation: come join my queer math collective! no prior experience needed, just enthusiasm
that goes for math and queerness i suppose although i think most of u are already doing pretty ok on the latter
yesterday i submitted the change i've been working on for months, so today i took a vacation day and i'm in a cafe studying triangles
i want to curl up and nap in the sun

@shoofle not 100% settled but current candidates are "type theory and formal proof: an introduction" (lawvere and schanuel) and "types and programming languages" (pierce)
(level i'm aiming for is "has done some functional programming / basic formal logic but is fuzzy on exactly what "lambda calculus" actually is)
