I see absolutely NO reason in Calculus classes being prioritized over Linear Algebra in universities. I am convinced it is just historical inertia.

@jennineak @MazenAbuKharoof "Being decent" is not some essence we are born with. Propaganda works. There are years and years of it to unlearn for someone like him to get to this point. Of course such a process still pales in comparison to the suffering of an average Palestinian, so I get the push-back.

I recently ran into a situation where "identifying isomorphic groups" confused me for a while. Say H is a group isomorphic to ℤ⊕ℤ/2 so we may think that every element in H has a well-defined ℤ/2-part. But ℤ⊕ℤ/2 has an automorphism f with f(1,0) = (1,1) !

We know empty references in math papers, but more insidious are gaslighting references. A paper says "Theorem A follows from [23, Theorem B]". You look at [23], and yes the theorems are clearly related, but the implication is not clear at all! "Surely I'm not smart enough"..

Today I learned that making sure that the connected sum topological manifolds is well-defined is extremely nontrivial. The arguments typically use the "annulus conjecture", whose proof in all dimensions was completed only by 1982.

@KenanPerry @lelouch082022 The Israeli people have one of the highest access to the internet in the world. It is more about knowing and framing it as OK than not knowing. The mindset leading to the former is certainly shaped by the material conditions in the society. That doesn't mean "we shouldn't judge".

Something that annoys me in math papers: sweeping parts of the proof under citations. You see "this follows from [AB97, Theorem 2.1]", but when you look the paper [AB97] up, it has such a different notation/setting that it is not clear how Theorem 2.1 is even related to 'this'.
