Another option is to plug in AR/VR glasses, which solves the head tilting problem in trains. There are plenty of options around ~500 EUR/USD nowadays, which might be worth it for people with a daily commute.

Did you look at the squadrats app? It’s compatible with strava also. It sounds quite similar to what you describe.

From what I heard, it’s because Springer et al. hired editors in India to cut costs…

I'm a doctoral student working in the direction of PDE's and function spaces. I have some colleagues that are using wavelets for numerics. They typically prove that certain wavelet bases are better suited for numerical approximati

What kind of documents are you typing that you wouldn’t want to learn from your mistakes? If you apply more than a handful of “fixes” at once, you cannot see what changed, right? And you also don’t know if the sentences still make sense? Or

I could see people using this symbol when proving for example that x = 0. Say they first show x \geq 0 and then x \leq 0. Then they've shown x ⪒ 0, and therefore x = 0. But yeah, a symbol like '⪒' for this purpose is maybe na

In academia people study stochastic versions of PDEs in order to try to answer regularity and existence questions. Think for example about the famous millennium problem of Navier-Stokes. Sometimes the stochastic viewpoint can even give more

I would argue against the statement that all 'truly high talented people' (whatever that may mean) will leave Europe because the salaries are too low. At least in Academia I know plenty of smart people happily working away in Euro

I suppose that this differs at how mathematically mature the student is. For undergrads and high school students it is, as you say, probably a good idea to give a lot of motivation and applied examples for the theory being taught. I suppose

I think maybe you mean "don't send your kids to an _American_ school if you can avoid it". Although I have no personal experience with the American school system, I would say that there are many schools in the world that adhe

Well, American tech companies are not the only ones using AI/ML for morally questionable activities. Think for example about China's social crediting system. At least it is good that people are thinking about the effects that AI&#
