I'm in college pre-Calc and want to impress my professor by asking a question about inter-universal teichmüller theory in class. What should I ask, /sci/?
>>
>>8315336
"How can I cope with my autism"
>>
You impress your professor by being a good student, not asking some gay shit that is beyond the scope of the class.
>>
>>8315336

If you're a female, you can impress him by gaping your asshole and sticking a large gummy worm in there.
>>
>>8315336
They are just going to say "what is that?"

Unless your prof was at the conference, they don't know and probably don't care. Don't look like an elitist sperg if you ever want to get pussy at all. You're already on 4chan. Don't make the problem worse.
>>
OP here.

This is a pretty advanced pre-calc class. Our prof even aims to cover an introduction to limits, so I don't think this is too far out of the question
>>
>>8315751

Yes, and thus I will establish my intellectual superiority. I'm only in this pre-calc class cause I didn't try in high school, whatever
>>
>>8315767
>This is a pretty advanced pre-calc class. Our prof even aims to cover an introduction to limits, so I don't think this is too far out of the question
Hope you are being sarcastic
>>
>>8315779
>my intellectual superiority
>in precalc class
>inb4 bait
>>
>>8315785

? pre-calc doesn't usually get to limits...
>>
>>8315767
Well if you know limits u probably have enough background to go and study IUT for yourself anyway
>>
>>8315336
you will probably best impress them by asking about a question that will come up later in the class early. it makes you look like you were studying ahead
>>
50/50 i'd say

he's either impressed or he isnt
>>
>>8315861
Oh my god you're being serious
Let me try to explain: inter-universal teichmüller theory is a thesis is pure mathematics, and is light-years away from calculus-level mathematics. Try to research about the different study fields there are in pure maths.
It doesn't make sense for someone who is not deeply involved in maths (specifically pure maths, wich is probably VERY different from what you might think mathematicians study) to try to discuss such subjects. Somethings can not be transformed into pop-science (specially pure maths) because they are simply not accessible to someone who is not in the field.
If you try to discuss this with anyone you will probably just embarrass yourself, because the maths you study or even know of right now ( like college calc)is 0.0000000001% of the maths you need to understand modern pure maths. Probably your professor is not familiarized with the subject as well.
>>
>>8315866

I've been reading the paper and am a bit confused. I don't see any trig or algebra

>>8315892

So what you're saying is my prof is a brainlet? I kinda thought so. Today we were doing the cosine addition formulas and he accidentally messed up the signs.
>>
>>8315873

really makes you think
>>
Ask him to explain the significance of triple integrals in the Barnett identity.
>>
>>8315917

I don't want to embarrass him. Is it true that nobody fully understands the Barnett identity? that's what i've read
>>
>>8315907
Fucking kek
>>
>>8315918
P=NP
I'm having a bit of trouble with this problem.
Can you give me a hand?
>>
>>8316039
P - NP = 0,
P(1 - N) = 0,
P = 0 or N = 1.
>>
>>8316073

This. Wtf? That's not even algebra 1, like that's pre-algebra.

>>8316039

Fucking brainlet
>>
Professors almost always get annoyed to some degree whenever some jack-off undergrad student asks some asinine question that is far beyond the scope of the course being taught. I remember in one of my freshman classes, after one student asked a chain of questions that had nothing to do with the course and were obviously intended to make the student sound smarter, the professor simply told the kid to stop asking pointless questions in fromt of the entire class. The obnoxious cunt never asked another question.
>>
>>8315336

If you aren't prepared to explain it in detail don't fucking mention it.
>>
>>8316079
It uses letters so it's algebra, brainlet.
>>
>>8315336
OP, don't listen to the haters ITT. Just wait until the prof starts talking about logarithms, and then ask if they have anything to do with log-theta lattices of [math] \Theta^{\pm ell}[/math] NF-Hodge structures. I guarantee he will be super impressed.
>>
>>8316116
This. Also make sure you offer to use BOTH hands to jack him off.
>>
>>8316116
This is really good advice, thanks.

I'm thinking of scheduling a meeting with the department head to ask if I can lead a research team into understanding and perhaps improving Mochizuki's work. How should I formally go anout doing this?
>>
>>8316116
don't forget to mention the Frobenioid
>>
>>8315336

I warn you, if your professor is not a retard, he will not be impressed by the questions you ask, for this reason you are doing here.

But he will likely test your knowledge how you can actually apply all that, then you'd be in deep shit.

Just focus on the tests, getting a job, on what's important rather than on bullshit like this.
>>
Are you really being serious here? As others said, there's a lot of difference between pre calc and IUT. It if better for you to stick to your curriculum and ask relevant questions based on your course. You are not only making yourself look like an idiot but wasting other students time.
>>
>>8316237
Im hoping it will cause him to write me a strong letter of rec for when I apply to grad school.
>>
>>8316198
Meet with him or an analyst colleague a couple weeks prior for an extensive discussion of Kaczynski's work. Make sure you know it back to front. The department will be so surprised they'd have to be fools not to give you your own research group. Subtly alluding to this point will be helpful.
>>
>>8316237
You might even say there's a *universe* of difference
>>
>>8316198
I'm all for good bait but this is way too obvious
>>
>>8315767
Srsly, limits are the easiest shit, im a high school student, whos bad at math and i know that.

Learn advanced shit before you talk shit, he is gonna ask you about it and you wont know shit
>>
Talk him about the Monty-Python problem.
>>
>>8315336
I keep hearing about inter-universal teichmüller theory on the popsci section of an international hamster farming image board..

What is inter-universal teichmüller theory and can I get gud by learning it?
>>

Big fan of the big K. His work in Explosive Mail Theory blew the field wide open. I'll be sure to reference his ideas in my meeting

>>8316403
Look idk what this means, if you don't have anything helpful to say or if Mochizuki's work is beyond you, I recommend looking for a job at McDonalds

>>8315336
Stop.

Faculty does not give a fuck about you unless you're popping out papers for them.

Stop caring.
>>
>>8316828
Ok congrats on going to some rich kid school. Not all of us have that opportunity
>>
Until you're taking abstract algebra and analysis, your fucking job in undergrad math is to get As.

Show up to class, ask RELEVANT questions on the material, then shut the fuck up and study.

Want to impress your professor? Get As and keep your goddamn mouth shut
>>
>>8317332
I've already taken algebra and analysis (some schools call pre-Calc analysis). Got Bs and As every semester.

Because I was lazy and didn't try in high school...
>>
>>8315767
You know that you have to be 18+ to post on 4chan, right? If you are 18 right now, when the high school year starts, then that means you have been held back a grade at some point in your life, in which case you really have nothing to be proud of for taking a class that is skipping to next year's material.
>>

I'm a freshman in college, for your information.

>>8317403

I actually am not. I was tested when I was 5, and they said it was best if they don't tell me my score or else it would make me feel different (meaning I was way higher than average)

Greatest bait of all time.

Ferls good.

This is incredible bait, OP. Great job.
>>
>>8316403
This. OP managed to balance the line between full-on trolling and this strange but somehow believable retardedness that just keeps nagging you at the back of your head: 'What if such autism actually exists"? But he blew it. Sorry, OP.
>>
>>8317611

Look is there anything wrong with ambition? I see a mountain, I climb it.

Mochizuki's paper is my Everest. Is it so wrong to want to organize a group of professionals to try to dissect it? Not even I can go it alone.
>>
>>8315730
This

asking in class about advanced subjects beyond the scope of the class is instantly recognized as trying to sound smart.
>>
ITT: jealous spergs who don't know precalculitic IUTT is the ticket to 300k starting

>>8317684
That's the point. I need to prove my intellect and get him to write me a letter of rec for grad school.

Jesus Christ just engage in conversation with the man and treat him with respect, together with not acting like a total ass and you'll get a letter of recommendation. It's not like he's going to risk his "reputation" and recommend someone he doesn't know.

He's not risking his reputation. I've gotten an A on every test or quiz so far (minus this one inverse trig function quiz but that was bullshit) and have no reason to think my success won't continue.

I've been conducting independent research on epsilon-delta theory. My goal is to use it as my dissertation. Just need my break in the math department.

>>
Ask if you can use a probability distribution for limits in calculating a volume.

If your brain can even comprehend what that even means.

Asking a question posed by someone else is retarded because you don't have any self investment into the question ask.

So fuck off actually, if you're pining so much to appear smart to your fucking prof then figure something out yourself holy fuck I am triggered by this masterful bait.

"advanced"

10/10, quality lulz.
>>
>>8317742
Go vegan and climb the Everest please, we don't need your cleverness here.

If you really can do what you've stated then why try to impress a pre-Calc teacher? Just ask him about the theory in private, or is it that you are just trying to show off to your friends so they can see past your uber autism?

It doesn't make any sense. Someone with enough intelligence would go to said teacher's boss and schedule a meeting so you can skip a few courses through an exam.

I'm pretty sure you just watched a Numberphile video and thought you might impress /sci/ but you won't, this just makes you look stupid. Fuck off.

Does every child have to go to that level?

I often hear this criticism of countries that don't require entry calculus for all students but usually the people saying it have already had a big bulk of their young population diverted into the workforce of some other educational path.

Serious question.
