As I appear to be gaining a number of followers every day, I feel like I should introduce myself a bit more than my bio. My name is Tim, I'm a mathematics student (just finished my 1st year of my undergrad). 1/

Took me a day or two to realize this ... but you still have to show your work!

Yesterday’s problem and solution. I’m over the flu and Tim is kicking butt and taking names at his new university, so we’re back to normal. Yay! 🤓 Here’s a narrative from me (with a special challenge for our #dailymaths regulars!) and a proof from @MathsTim.

Quick update on my progress of moving (assuming anyone is interested haha): I got all my stuff into my appt yesterday afternoon and flaked out. I will be unpacking and settling in today. You can expect to see my solutions for the Puzzle of the Day challenge reappear this week.

My uni application was accepted! I move on-campus (and out of home for the first time) in 4 days. I'm excited and anxious 😋

Before I get scolded by responsible people; yes, it is 3:30am for me. I ruined my sleep schedule over freaking out about it all.

T-minus 11ish hours until I find out if my university-transfer application has been accepted and possibly if I've earned a merit scholarship. Now it's time for bed, I'll inform the Twitterverse upon receiving any news.

Maria Agnesi, Grace Hopper, Ada Lovelace, the list is damn near endless. Also s/o to @GWOMaths for talking about the greats.
Q: In what 🌎 was Emmy Noether not offered professorships at @Harvard or @the_IAS? Q2: In what 🌎 was Chien-Shiung Wu not a Nobel Laureate? Answer: this world. Our 🌎. Don’t get distracted by weak SocJus arguments. Structural bullshit against women in STEM can be quite real.

This is a tricky one to show without trial and error in a calculator. I highly recommend giving this one a go if you haven't!

As rounding seems to be an issue in maths Twitter today, I feel that this should be shared widely.
Calculations where a consistent approach to rounding is critical are generally undertaken on computer, so it can be useful to refer to IEEE standards. IEEE754 gives four methods, as attached.
