Mathematics Lovers Edition~Enjoy the little pleasures in life

Zombieland Rule#32- Enjoy the Little Things

~~~~~~~

Many people think that the life of doing mathematics is boring. . . Not really. The following are some of my informal little fun:

1. Grabbing the whole thing (arXiv). Every time you write the first version of an article, it will be put online as a preprint, and the article will also get an ID. For example, your coolest ID is 1111.1010. The first four digits are the year and month, and the last four digits (now upgraded) Up to five digits) is the serial number of the article submitted that month. So I was bored and hoped to grab a good ID (mainly referring to the last four/five digits, because the ID is only issued the next day and cannot be precisely controlled. The basic principle is that the smaller the better). . . So I have to calculate the time to upload the preprint, which is usually 8pm on the penultimate day of the month (I forgot if it is Greenwich time, and it seems to have changed). . . The smallest ID I have grabbed so far is 0007, and I have also grabbed 0010. My last 8-digit ID was 1411.4003. . . This year I came up with a new way to play. . . Show off after success! (Finally, I envy and hate a certain colleague who publishes an average of 5 articles per year. How awesome is this game? Unfortunately, I only average less than 2 articles per year.)

2. Brush the number of Erd?s (distance between collaborators) ). Here the Erd?s number generally refers to the academic distance between two people: there is an edge (length 1) between the collaborators; for any two people, if there is a road connecting them, the distance is limited and equal to the length of the shortest path. For the seniors I respect, I hope that the number of Erd?s with him/her can be reduced to 1 (that is, cooperation...). Now the first few mathematicians on this list are: Teacher Kong Boen, Teacher Ishanxiu and the old lady. . .

3. Use magazines with interesting names. The magazines here mainly refer to monthly magazines in a certain direction. The motivation was that I read a monthly article on differential equations when I was an undergraduate, and then changed my direction. So my heart said, Huh? How about collecting stamps from now on? Unfortunately, I had been worrying about finding a job and was unable to enjoy this small pleasure, so I only wrote out monthly magazines. This year I plan to write a topology monthly magazine (I am currently reading geometry and topology. Although it is not a standard monthly magazine, I hope it can be used as a capital to brag about being a topologist). . . I really want to read the monthly journal of Algebraic Geometry next year, and in the future I should read magazines with the names of combinatorics and representation theory. . .囧

4. Leave easter eggs and tell jokes in the article. . . In recent years, movies (series) always like to put some easter eggs at the end, and the same goes for TV shows. I haven't actually done this thing properly, but I have seen jokes made by other great people: for example: someone said thank you to another person for being lazy, which made this article appear; and someone posted it in the literature One is a private chat/correspondence with someone. . . It made me ask my collaborator to put a document and someone’s QQ voice/WeChat message. . . There are also people who give random acknowledgments in their doctoral dissertations (make up their own minds). . . So interesting.

5. Of course, my favorite game/little fun is to add a picture to my paper as a logo/Logo. I also put a lot of them in the previous random thoughts, here are two more:

6. Another function of logo is that it can be used when customizing exclusive items. The following is one of the few luxury custom-made products I own. The pattern includes the logo of the doctoral thesis above and the first version of the logo of the article to be released next month, as well as part of my favorite mantra.

. . .

Why do I feel so nerdy when I talk about it... I feel that if I explain it, I will cover it up and tell a story... never mind

. . .

Finally, put your own adapted mantra:

I am the bone of my Thm.?

Prop is my body and Def is my blood.?

I have created over a thousand proofs.?

Unknown to Conj.

Nor known to Axiom.?

Have withstood pains to create many lem.?

Yet those hands will never hold anything.?

So as I pray: Unlimited Proof Works

The original version is as follows: (English and The Japanese doesn’t seem to match (囧)

I am the bone of my sword.?

(体は剣で出ている)

Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.

(血流は鉄で心は Glass)

I have created over a thousand blades.

(九びの戦场

Unknown to Death.

(ただの一度もUnderstandingされない)

Have withstood pain to create many weapons

(　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 parties たに されない) 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 parties も understanding されない いいいいいいいないい ただの一时もUnderstanding されないいいいいない ただれない 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ulation されないい) p>

Yet, those hands will never hold anything.

(古に、生に义はなく)

So as I pray, unlimited blade works.

(その体は、きっと剣で出ていた)
