I am on a mission to publish/post as much math as I can, aimed at a variety of mathematical levels and backgrounds. Here "math" is broadly construed: actual mathematics, meta mathematics, advice about academia, etc. To that end, let me write a thread here about the many ways I share math:

I'm pretty sure I can find a way to use it in a video :)

Álvaro Lozano-Robledo @mathandcobb.bsky.social · 6d

Ha nice, maybe you can upload it to TikTok as an available sound for people to use?

Oh I mean, yes if I'm making a 'comedy' video/video with a bit, then I'll use some 'sound', not necessarily music, but sometimes music. I can pull up some example.

I don't. I've debated whether to include sometimes some music in the background, but I think it would be overall distracting and out of place.

Hey @mathandcobb.bsky.social, can you ask the Hagoromo people if they'll make me an official Brand Representative if I tattoo a piece of Hagoromo on my forearm?

So let me try to get a bit of a silver lining out of this mess... Do we all now agree we need more science and scientific studies?

In this video I describe all the functions that are equal to their own n-th derivative, and also define the infinite family of "spiral trigonometric functions", which include the usual exponential, sine, and cosine functions as special cases #math #differentialequation #trigonometry #spiral

👏👏👏

So what are you playing?

I've only scratched the surface of the functions but I'm sure there are many cool priorities one could prove, look into!

Álvaro Lozano-Robledo @mathandcobb.bsky.social · 15d

Thanks for the shout-out! I think these are really cool functions! But I've already changed the notation a bit... See tomorrow's video! :D

The “spiral trigonometric” functions, named coss(x) and sins(x) by @mathandcobb.bsky.social. These are solutions to the third-order differential equation y'''=y.
