Non-textbook book... You mean a book with only pictures then?

>>8338650
A science-related book that's not a textbook.
>textbook
>n.
>A book used in schools or colleges for the formal study of a subject.
'Measure Theory' is a textbook, 'I Want to Be a Mathematician' is not a textbook.

Is Homotopy type theory legit or it adds nothing more to mathematics?

Hell yea bro.

The HOTT book being a non-textbook on a technicality automatically makes it the best non-textbook out there for /sci/. Hitlerfags can go suck a dick.

I really like Martin Gardner's puzzle books

I think the univalence axiom is pretty cool and simplifies a lot of proofs.

>take a new class
>this is your teacher
>she asks you to stay after class
What do?

>>8340529
Stay after class, friendly make body contact on shoulders and hips, let her talk about herself, find a reason to come over for a tea in the next 2 weeks, fuck her.

>>8340529
Talk in short sentences and exit as quickly as possible, disgustedly , since that back Arch indicates a weak willed person

Maybe masturbate to her pictures online also, of o feel she deserves it

>>8340536
>body contact on shoulders and hips
You're the worst kind of criminal.

>>8338637
She has a very shemale-esque look

>>8340536
>make body contact on hips
Literally how would you do this

If she wants your dick and waits for you to do something about it, she'll stay in your proximity for those things to occur

but seriously, the HoTT hype lasted 2 years and while it's aesthetic, it doesn't feel like there are going do drop many relevant theorems out of it in the next few years.
The implementation aspect is just far to slow going for mathematicans to care and, given that, the CS aspects are not worth for the homotopy people to care.

There is a lengthy discussion somewhere one the web (I forgot, maybe it was a google+ entry by someone) where e.g. Lurie states how he's completely desinterested in it.

I say this with a broken heart, but c'mon it's all moving too slow (and the people involved are not the chillest on the planet)

Because
a) I don't want to wait 15 years to connect to tech and physics and
b) I don't want to wait 30 years for the CS theory and topos autists to die - the social assholes that feel they deserve recognition now since their lives work did not take off during their lifetime

Why do some women take pictures of themselves holding books? Are they trying to prove something? Is their self esteem really that low?

>>8340720
If a woman tries to take a picture of something, she will subconsciously shove herself into the forefront and make herself the subject of the photo. Don't insult them for it, it's only their nature.

>>8340720
>Is their self esteem really that low?
Yes. That's why they constantly have to remind themselves that "they are loved" and religiously practice "self-love". Someone who feels loved does not need constant reminders that they are loved. No matter how inundated in social support women are, they never feel secure.

I think she's trying to promote reading, particularly women reading and female education

>>8340555

Wow, you don't talk to women much, do you? How many times has this uninvited hip touching worked for you kek

>>8341085
Because women are illiterate...

Women make up the majority of college students currently. I think women reading has been promoted sufficiently at this point.

I'm getting laid enough, thanks. I know, it's an automatic reaction to disregard any anon who gives advice on how to get your dick wet, so I won't take it personally.
Many confident folks are straight forward enough to signal interest verbally by flirting, but c'mon, testing out your body contact bounds isn't exactly a novel suggestion.

PS this will most likely harm my case more than anything else, but googling a picture I found a WikiHow saying the same thing, kek
Well let's just say it's a natural thing that autists need to learn from the web today
