i have really struggled with whether and how to respond to this. The execution of this message was very nice and respectful, and I genuinely appreciate that. The premise, however, is problematic. Maybe not inherently, but within the context of the sexist society we live in. Men are allowed, and often feel compelled, to think out loud at women, to share unsolicited not necessarily informed thoughts at women. (And usually these men, unlike you, don’t even seem to recognize that their thoughts may not be useful.) Women on the other hand aren’t allowed to be as open. So, if you want to not just be respectful, but actually be anti-oppression, it is better (IMO) not to respond to a woman’s work with the types of thoughts that other men pawn off as insights, if you know what i mean. again, i appreciate your honesty, but i feel obligated to point these things out.

I actually work in academia. In a Spanish language department that is actually much better than the one she attended. I have no clue why Princeton would let her join their Math Grad program, other than for PR reasons. I meet dozens of undergrad Spanish majors every year and the only logical reason any of them could get a Math PhD is if they were some sort of savant. If this were the case, it wouldn't take them 6 years to finish, and they would not end up being essentially a TA in Hawaii.

You know what I see plenty of? African American females that can play the system like they are Jimi Hendrix. They get their degrees by presenting themselves as a constant threat to the department, and we cave because the university would go apoplectic if we got hit with a racism case. I am willing to bet any amount of money this is what we are seeing here: someone who has adapted extremely well to the system we created.

>>8928721
I agree. She is shockingly brazen about it too, doing interviews about her thesis and making it so available online. She doesn't need to link her thesis on her website but she does. It's basically daring someone to say something

>>8928721
>let's allow black people to occupy positions in prestigious schools without having the proper qualifications
>this is totally not racist against other races, nations or poor working class whites

>>8928729
She is basically fighting the final monster of this game called academia: get tenure. Of course, she needs to go balls to the wall here, so just being a threat is not enough, hence the fucking moronic article she wrote.

Think about it. Do you think her department would let her go now? Not renew her contract? Hell, no. Piper Girl here has a very tight grip on their balls now. They might as well offer her tenure right away and get it over with.

1 publication = 1 tenured position. Game Over.

>>8928695
>academic
>integrity
apparently, choose 1

>>8928741
Well I don't think she has a tenure track job currently and let's all hope it stays that way

>>8928746

You misunderstood me. The tenured position is what she is after. Her article is a way to secure her position at her department. What are they going to do when her contract is up? Let her go? No fucking way, because she would go after them for being racist. They are basically stuck with her. And if she wants a tenure track position they are going to have to offer her one.

This is hard to read. I'm currently doing my bachelor. I'm probably going to do a double major in math and comp sci, so I've already taken a number of math courses. My question while reading her prologue: What is this "oppressive atmosphere" she's talking about? Is it a black thing? A woman thing? Because there's been a good number of women and minorites in all of my math classes so far, and the atmosphere has been far from oppressive. Maybe it's just different here because I'm what they call a fucking leaf. The only issue I can see any of my profs having with her work is the excess of unscientific writing that has nothing to do with mathematics.

>>8928827
Exactly. And he should be embarrasses about allowing her the get her PhD. The fact that it happened should tell you there were other factors in play other than academic excellence.

>>8929108
Did I read all 139 pages? No, but I read a few. I skipped around to see if it was all written in that style. As far as I could see, it is.

And there's no reason to read all of it. I doubt anyone on earth read all of it. Why would you do that to yourself? It's clearly garbage.

>>8929075
Record the sound with your phone or something

>>8929108
I think it's a given the math is sound, since she co-authored a paper with another mathematician based on this research. The backlash is really about her total disregard for respecting the style and seriousness of a PhD thesis. And her only reason appears to be white males. That's all fine for a blog, but we didn't expect it to be in a PhD thesis. And from Princeton to accept it. What a joke.

>>8929128
I will try.

>>8929130
I'm sure the paper she coauthored with Bhargava is legit, as it was accepted to a good peer reviewed journal.

Her thesis is a bloated 139 version of that 12 page paper, and that isn't OK. Even if we let her slide on the "writing style", a thesis is supposed to contain more than 12 pages of real information. You aren't supposed to make it 10 times longer with your "writing style".

Also I'm not scouring through 139 pages trying to find the 12 pages worth of real content.

Why? WHY? Why do they believe there's some nefarious filter set in place to keep women out of science? Is that the case in the US? There are a number of incentives to encourage women to get into trades and STEM fields here.
This reminds of two feminist women at my university. One is doing a BA in psych and gender studies, and the other was doing criminology, but then switched to gender studies (I guess because the subject became too difficult for her). Nobody has forced them to pick these majors; they've done so of their own free will. There are so many other things worth studying, but this is what they've chosen. The only thing holding them back is their lack of either ability or interest.

>>8929185
>Why? WHY? Why do they believe there's some nefarious filter set in place to keep women out of science?
Protip: they don't care. It's just anti-male. Logically, "not enough women in engineering" must mean "too many women in field X" but they never, ever say this. Why? Because they don't give a shit about this issue at all, they just want to destroy male spaces.

>>8929185
We actively encourage all underrepresented groups to go into STEM in the US. Apparently we do it the point where incompetent retards can get a PhD from Princeton. And they still whine.

>>8929185
Women aren't oppressed, they're simply insecure. Just read anything this math PhD writes, and you'll quickly see that what she describes as oppression by the math community is little more than her own insecurity when faced with her gross incompetence in mathematics. Feminism today, rather than empowering women, simply encourages these types of insecurities, making women act like a bunch of victims. The same can be said about any leftists rhetoric on race.

But then, why the fucking articles and talking appearances? Why not just be happy with being a Temp? As long as hubby is in the department, her job is pretty secure. Because she wants more.

It is not uncommon for guys like this to be totally subservient to the first woman that actually paid any attention to them. If I were him, I would actually be worried that if she ever got a tenured position, he probably has outlived his usefulness.

People who defend her thesis: explain what exactly is graduate level about her work. I doubt any of you have even passed calculus in high school.

Maybe, I can't imagine what it's like to be him. But obviously he doesn't actually listen to her bullshit, or else he would quit his job. Maybe she tells him she doesn't really mean it or whatever.

Actually if he's totally cucked maybe he consciously keeps his job merely as a way to support her because she's a woman of color. In all likelihood they couldn't support their family if he quit his job, even if she kept her current one.

>>8929265
This is what will happen if you let in outsiders, they will challenge the norms because it isn't their norms. Reminds me of 50's Britain where wearing anything other than a grey suit was taboo until black immigrants showed up and didn't give a fuck with their brightly coloured African prints. I don't see why this is a bad thing. The core of it was publishable so it wasn't bullshit. If letting in minorities leads to less stuffy academic writing then I'm all for it.

Oooh, you better believe that she has an answer ready if someone asks her why her husband does not quit his job. Probably along the lines that hubby got liberated when she did. Sort of a transitive property of liberation. You don't shit where you eat.

That is why she is very careful to address her comments to academia in general. She is not going to alienate 75% of her department.

>>8929314
The core of it was 12 pages worth of real mathematical content. I don't care so much about the style, I care about the fact that she added over 100 pages of padding to lengthen her thesis and obscure the fact that it should have been 12 pages long.

Most theses in math are three-four papers that you just mash into one thesis. It's not one 12 page paper

She can say "muh style" all she wants but the fact is her thesis didn't contain nearly as much original research as any respectable math thesis should.

>>8929331
How many pages is the average thesis? I'm sure I've seen /sci/ gush over "geniuses" who proved some new theorem on one page so idk why /sci/ is now saying short is bad.

This is so fucking crazy. Look at her response to Joshua's questions (in the comments). She brushes them off as being oppressive! She doesn't even answer them like a real math PhD graduate would. Holy fuck, Princeton, you fucked up. Never in my life have I encountered a minority who doesn't deserve their degree. This is the first time I've seen someone who actually passed grad school from PC bullshit.

My thesis was 90 pages. About 100 is common. There's no real length requirement but the general impression is that if it's super short it better be groundbreaking.

John Nash (beautiful mind guy) had a 26 page thesis, but he was John fucking Nash. He wasn't a bum who got into Princeton with no background in math, hated math, didn't want to talk about math, and never wrote another paper after his thesis. Nash's thesis was groundbreaking, shockingly short (which was allowed because of how good it was), and even if you want to compare the length, it was over twice as long as Piper's paper.

>>8929362

Ok well maybe /sci/ has a point but all of you don't have to turn this into a race or gender thing. There are black female mathematicians out there who write non-weird theseses (thesii??)

>>8929400
Anyone who thinks this is a race/gender thing is wrong, this is about this one person and all her SJW supporters who submitted a terrible thesis and who has never answered any high level math question from people who asked her.

She was the one who turned this into a race/gender thing by saying white men should step down from tenure positions. Other black/female mathematicians don't do this.

>>8929400
Well, not really. If there were enough potential Black female mathematicians, they wouldn't be forced to take this one, whose knowledge of math is clearly not worth a BA.

>theses

>>8929400
Considering the fact that her blog post (about how white men should all quit their jobs as professors) is the reason she's getting so much attention recently, it's kind of hard not to make it a race or gender thing.

It also makes it hard to ignore the likelihood that she only got a phd because of her race and gender.

>>8929408
>Anyone who thinks this is a race/gender thing is wrong
do you honestly believe that a white woman or an indian man would be able to get into Princeton with her qualifications?

>>8929410
Plus she's a terrible role model for younger black and/or female mathematicians. Affirmitive action has the argument that minorities should get into high level positions to inspire others and change the system. She's changing the system in a terrible way by not knowing any actual math, only parroting a single 12 page paper she 'co-wrote'. She's a plague for minority groups.

>>8929415
I worded it too broadly. The poster I was quoted was saying that /sci/ was hating on female black mathematicians, I meant to say that this is about hating on them, it's just about this one person using her status as one to fuck everything up

>>8929419
*not about hating them
*the poster that I quoted

>>8929390
That's a really good example that shows how horrible she is at explaining things.

She really has no natural teaching ability whatsoever. And yet, she's on the faculty of a university, assumedly teaching classes. How horrifying.

It's like all she can do is just recite the notation that's used, without conveying what any of it really means, or how to think about it, or how it can be a useful tool to solve problems.

Contrast that to this guy, who is a master at talking about what the underlying meaning is:

>>8929408
>who has never answered any high level math question from people who asked her.

My god, is that really true? I thought all PhDs (at respected institutions like Princeton) were required to do an oral dissertation defense, where several members of the department ask them questions. If she couldn't answer any of their questions, then that means that SJWism has infected academia so badly that multiple members of Princeton's math department put their own reputations in serious jeopardy by "approving" a candidate who couldn't answer a single question. That shows the tremendous, horrible pressure that they're now under. And the fact that they haven't gone public with the pressures they faced shows how fearful they are of their jobs -- and that EVEN WITH TENURE (which supposedly means that can't be fired) they now fear for their jobs if they don't rubber-stamp someone who can't answer any questions during their dissertation defense.

Holy shit, what a clusterfucked mess. Those poor fuckers.

>>8929442
I mean, did you ever see Terence Tao's quals? He didn't do too great of a job but was still put forward. Princeton's main hoop to jump through is getting in.

>>8929451
I'm not looking at this situation with the primary goal of shaming Princeton for graduating her (although that's a noble goal).

Maybe for all Princeton knew, she really contributed to her paper and wrote a reasonable thesis (usually nobody reads the thesis, not even the committee).

But even if we forgive Princeton, she still fucking exists and has a job, and a blog on the AMS website. We can't change the past, and Princeton can't revoke her degree. I'm more concerned with her ongoing employment and "political activities".

> The funkiness comes in when you try to add up infinitely many values (more than that, really)

Really? "More than" infinitely many values? Seriously? "More than that"????

What does she mean by "more than that"? For example, is she alluding to the idea that infinity plus 1 is somehow "more than" infinity, or something like that?

Or is she actually talking about the Cantorian transfinite cardinalities (aleph0, aleph1, etc.), and the fact that aleph2 is provably greater than aleph1? Is that what she means by something that is "more than" infinity? Is she seriously suggesting that the cardinality of the continuum is somehow being exceeded while taking a simple integral?

Or, maybe -- just maybe -- does she not even know what the fuck she's talking about?

i have really struggled with whether and how to respond to this. The execution of this message was very nice and respectful, and I genuinely appreciate that. The premise, however, is problematic. Maybe not inherently, but within the context of the sexist society we live in. Men are allowed, and often feel compelled, to think out loud at women, to share unsolicited not necessarily informed thoughts at women. (And usually these men, unlike you, don’t even seem to recognize that their thoughts may not be useful.) Women on the other hand aren’t allowed to be as open. So, if you want to not just be respectful, but actually be anti-oppression, it is better (IMO) not to respond to a woman’s work with the types of thoughts that other men pawn off as insights, if you know what i mean. again, i appreciate your honesty, but i feel obligated to point these things out.

which sucks, because even if this is old news, it's been buried, and someone like her has been able to infect academia without punishment. It's so obvious that this will do much more harm than good for minority mathematicians. Hopefully she gains no more supporters and people can see through her bullshit

Just give SOME sort of response that shows you know what you're talking about and you're not just parroting stuff you've memorized. She has to prove she knows what she's talking about!

>>8929781
Know that she has little power over things. Math is still full of stuffy, conservative assholes who don't take idiots lightly. Americans may have been pushed over but those cold ass Russians sure won't be. There's absolutely no way she'll get past them if her influence spreads further in the math world.

>>8929442
it means that she hasn't answered questions in the video or in the blog post sufficiently enough. we don't know what happened in her oral defense obviously. But her approach to avoid questions is shameful of someone with a math PhD, especially since those weren't even hard questions

>>8929781

>>8928828
From what I understand, her idea of "oppressive atmosphere", are mathematicians talking in mathematical terms in general conversation. Since she doesn't understand math, and has a victim complex, she believes they're doing it just to spite her.

>>8929965
It's not like she's the first person on earth to think that academics use retarded jargon just to keep out normies. But she's probably the first person to have a husband working under a top ten mathematicians while getting a PhD under a Fields medalist to say so.

Which is really saying something.

About her.

>>8929966
Is it saying that she's nothing but a hack fraud who only got a PhD from Princeton because of gibsmedats?

This is why some academics have been more reserved about expressing controversial views. For example, consider "A defense of transracialism" and the shit storm that article has caused. Seriously senpai, look it up.

>>8929972
Probably not a fraud in the sense that she doesn't understand ANYTHING about this, but a fraud in the sense that her efforts were likely not up to PhD level at an elite university.

I mean look at Anita's Master's thesis. It's basically no better, but you have already yielded your expectations for other degrees. Unfortunately you can't just isolate mathematics from gender studies, once you allow it. The entire degree pool is tainted, which is the point. r-strategists can't compete, but they can destroy institutions which foster competition. Once they got into sociology, it was already over, you just thought there was a chance because the body wasn't flyblown, but it was already dead.

>>8930321
She looks like the product of second generation Affirmative Action. She's probably been brought up by her parents in the belief that she is owed everything she wants, and anyone who denies her wishes is a racist, misogynistic hater. And she has seen it work since childhood. In this sense, she is impervious to any outside comment or criticism.

>>8929507

I think it's more likely her advisor Bhargava is himself super liberal and really wanted to be able to say this SJW was his student.

He didn't have to take her as a student. He wasn't the only option. I doubt the department singled him out and told him he had to take her. I think he wanted to. He had to know what he was doing.

There is a long-standing, serious, and real push to recruit politically active minorities in PhD programs.

>>8927872
i didn't even realize she was black. don't you think this would still get attention here if it was a white male? we call out jacob barnett daily on his bullshit too.
you really need to stop giving people free passes based on their race/gender.

>>8931159
two sides of the same coin

>>8931179
These people might avoid attention, except they actively seek it out.

Jacob Barnett's mom went to the media telling them all about her genius son. If she hadn't, then he would have stayed just another autistic kid.

Piper Harron went out and got attention by posting this blog about how white men should quit our jobs. The attention she's getting is inextricably linked to the fact that she's a black woman, because that's how she chose to go out and get attention.

If she had gotten attention a different way then we'd still be talking about how she's a fraud.

I just sat through her talk, she's currently taking questions. Surprisingly the only thing about math in her talk was about how she was bad at it. The entire thing was just the usual leftist bullshit and how much of a victim of discrimination she is. I guess I was optimistic to think it would involve actual math.

>>8931179
you gotta ask yourself though: would a white man ever get a Math PhD title writing that thesis? Maybe if he was friends with the director of the school or some other corrupt nepotist shenanigans, otherwise the answer is no.

Okay, since this thread is still here I will leave you Anons something that really bugged me the last time that I saw one of her lectures yesterday.

I can overlook the fact that this woman is a product of social justice, and outwardly feminist and immediately presents a politicized aura around her, but the one thing that really grinds my gears on this person is her lack of professionalism.

When I read through her thesis, something that is always apparent to me is that while she may be some sort of competent in getting the message of her thesis through, I notice that she does not do so very formally.

Maybe it is because of the fact that she is a intersectional feminist, (((anti-racist))) "professor" of mathematics at the university of Hawaii of all places, but I notice that she is very unprofessional in her thought process, i.e. the method with which she conveys her ideas is either convoluted, detrimental to the focus of the paper, or outright inappropriate to include in a mathematics doctoral thesis.

Also, when I listen to her talks, she is NOT self assertive. She presents herself in a gentle light, and speaks in soft tones, which is expected of a woman but not of a supposed professor that is supposed to be giving a god damned lecture.

If you are giving a lecture you are supposed to be assertive, speaking directly to the audience in clear lashes of the tongue, moving and presenting with confidence which is something that evidently from the body language of this woman she was not prepared for, which is embarrassing for someone of her stature.

>>8933349
>outright inappropriate to include in a mathematics doctoral thesis
That's the fucking point - she wanted to write a thesis in her own special, original way.

119KB, 1009x650px

Frankly people like this woman need to be purged from STEM.

It is the reason why even my own tech teacher has begun using the acronym STEAM.

With STEAM, the cult of social justice attempts to inject the "Arts" into STEM, without realizing that "art" is already in STEM, but it is not the "art" that they know.

The "art" of STEM is the "art" of the mind, the "art" of perception, the capability of the human mind to witness to the world and strive to understand it not through emotions or philosophical drivel but by cold calculation and quantification.

The "art" of the Arts is the "art" of the heart, the "art" of feelings, a perception of subjectivity, not objectivity, laden in the emotional and not the factual.

What the cult of social justice aims to do with STEAM is to legitimize their doctrine of feelings, their delusions of oppression, not just to bring forth upon themselves a dynasty of power, but to enslave and exterminate reason out of a world where only they can exist.

Do not take this woman as a fool, do not look at her as you would look an impressive monkey, but rather look at her as an agent of the evil that threatens to undermine decades of progress in the name of their ascension.

Folks like her need to be wiped out, swept clean, with their character assassinated, their image erased, their books burned and their graves unmarked and cared by none, with the only monument laden in their wake not to their greatness but to their sins.

>>8933386
>she wanted to write a thesis in her own special, original way

And that is the fucking point. Math is not a field where that is proper form. She instead should have gone for an Education PhD and try to make her thesis a reflection of her innovative ways of conveying math to the masses.

Real female mathematicians speak in the same autistic and mechanical way the males do. Good speakers are a bit less autistic but the subject is math so if it's fully neurotypical you're doing it wrong.

She'd fail at that too. If you tell a calculus student an Integral is a funky sum they're not going to know what you're talking about. Zero laymen read her thesis and understood it

>>8933397
>Real female mathematicians speak in the same autistic and mechanical way the males do

True.

Her mathematical work is actually alright.
You can sperg out about the form, but the substance works.

She wanted it to be more accessible. Why not ? The proofs are here, it is structured, and she advises professors to read an abriged version. You should criticise her over the rest of her ideology, mainly her refusal/denial of meritocracy.

>>8933406
Success is not the point here. At least, as an Education thesis, she would have given it an appropriate shape.

If I play basketball with my hands, I can at least be considered a shitty basketball player. If I play it with my feet, I am not a basketball player at all. My hurt feelings notwithstanding.

PhD is serious business. If I was one of the professors evaluating her presentation, I'd chuckle holding my sides, then I'd get up and leave in the middle of the presentation because God I don't deserve this.

I think it's noble for someone to explain the subject the best way possible, so the masses would get the intuition easier, but do this somewhere else goddamnit. Write a book, give lectures, go to TED or whatever, but the way this was written is pretty offensive in my point of view.

SJW's are going too far.

>>8933426
Her "style" is at least partially a ploy to turn 12 pages into 139

>>8933426

yes, and thats why we have 1 + 2 + 3 + 4.. = -1/12, because its more 'accessible'

and pseudo science weve seen all day, because they refuse to study statistics

Sure thing Jamal. It's not like anybody in math has advanced society.

This, I'd rather read a dry rigorous text than some incoherent "sum of da rectanglez yo" type bullshit

>>8933509
>He didn't understand the post he replied to

>>8933525
What some people fail to realize is that rigorous terminology and dry explanations are there because of the need for univocal interpretation. Anyone that reads your text needs to understand precisely what you are trying to say, especially at high levels of complexity. Otherwise, it becomes literature.

>>8933540
Not him but…Agreed. What bothered me was in her Laysplanation she neglected to define what she meant by terms like field or degree. It's very duplicitous to complain that math edges people out because of rarified/esoteric language (a fair complaint) and then not clearly explain yourself.

>>8933480

I hope your optimism is gone once the SJWs permeate to academia and destroy the last remnants of white high culture. I hope you are happy.

>>8933754
I imagine he was fresh to advising and thought she might have some interesting ideas or insight. His jaw must have hit the floor when he saw the crap she produced. She complained that Princeton's academic freedom was oppressive. I can just as easily see her saying that a program with too much structure is oppressive. It's not clear what her complaints are and she'll just accuse you of being male if you ask her to articulate.

>>8933736
it's a portmanteau of "pig" and "faggot". It means "pig-faggot"

>>8933897
he probably just learned that it is very unwise to advise Oppressed Minorities or women. if I ever become a professor I will never advise a black or a woman. it is just too risky and there's no shortage of talented male students.

>>8931811
the advisor became the laughing stock of the department, right?

>>8933932
he has a fields medal so "no"

>>8933932
Are you joking. He's a Fields medalist.

>>8933951
>>8933992
He shouldn't be permitted to coast through such a monumental fuckup on that basis. Awards can lose authority if you go far enough off the rails. For example, the Nobel laureate Brian Josephson FRS (professor emeritus of physics at Cambridge, Josephson Effect named after him) believes in the supernatural, ESP, homeopathy, and fuck knows what else.

The scientific community does not automatically defer to Josephson because of his Nobel, as his quirky pseudo- beliefs modify things (not that he's necessarily wrong, but it's an example of authority in context of later behavior).

Fields medal or not, making a mockery of math like this deserves ridicule and he did enable her bizarre piece of performance art.

I don't really think Josephson is a parallel at all to this situation. On one hand, Harron enabled somebody wholly unqualified to waste space and academic resources, whereas Josephson simply believes in things you think are wacky while still being productive.

>>8934114
The point is that such credentials are not absolute, and the community that awards them can later revise the standing of an awardee if their later acts, for whatever reason, are problematic.

I'm actually a skeptic of the fedora-tier skeptics who automatically slam anyone like Josephson that "goes off the reservation" of established wisdom.

Anyway, I surely agree that the Fields medalist in question is, indeed, guilty of a greater sin than pseudoscience as what he's enabled is not even trying to find truth, but just make a fucking mockery of math instead.

Why is /sci/ whining about this one shitty thesis? A ton of shitty, poorly-written theses accepted every year. Obsessing over this one because it was published by a black woman is only supporting her argument.

>>8933540
That's what I've come to realize about math texts is that they're not written in an exciting and casual manner because everything needs to be defined precisely and clearly. Maybe biology or sociology books can afford to be less rigorous because rules and definitions aren't as much of a mainstay in those fields.

>>8934181
You obviously failed to read that actual material in question. This is not a "shitty thesis". This is a piece of work that was never in the game to even be considered a math thesis at a low-tier school in the first place (to say nothing of Princeton). "Not even wrong" is an expression which comes to mind.

The grade school level confused interjections scattered throughout don't help things one bit. There are mathematically literate blacks who could have did a respectable job, but the fact that such bullshit was chosen for Princeton speaks volumes.

The person in question is a horrible human being also - ungrateful, a walking cliché of SJW pastiche with a chip on her shoulder the size of Manhattan. Any desire to cut her a break for trying her best evaporates when this fucking entitlement rears its head.

>>8934202
I admit I only glanced over it----I can't stand how it's written either----but it seems that you've failed to grasp the purpose of the the thesis. There's a hint in the title: "The Equidistribution of Lattice Shapes of Rings of
Integers of Cubic, Quartic, and Quintic Number Fields: an Artist’s Rendering"

>>8934260
Also, as others have noted, her advisor seems to have done most (all?) of the work for her. When put on the spot, she has yet to demonstrate knowledge consonant with having a math PhD (see her evasion in a blog reply that was math specific, unconvincing rehearsed "lectures" videoed).

It's just an odd case all around.

1 + 2 + 3 + 4.. = -1/12 is not rigorous. Her work is rigorous.

You forgot to say that this erupted not only because of all what you said. It was because, in top of that shit, she published a post in the AMS blog saying that all cis white math professors should resign from their jobs to "include more minorities" (like her).

>abriged version
meaning that 12 pages article written by that fields medal guy. so she admits that all the work she put in writting her thesis was adding comic strips, songs about oppressed minority wymin and trying to informally explain somebody else's works
