A 16-year-old student, Britney Gallivan, In 2000, used a 4000-foot strip of toilet paper and folded it 12 times. She later derived the formula for the minimum paper length needed to fold something n times.

Math pattern is God’s source code.
Call them fields if you want—Mathematics is the original.
Today is the birthday of George Bernard Dantzig, the American mathematical scientist. He unknowingly solved two unsolved statistics problems, thinking they were homework.
He’s remembered as the father of linear programming.
This is Gabriel's horn.
You can “hold” paint in it, but you cannot “paint” the surface of it.
It is a shape with finite volume but infinite area.
Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan discovered almost 4,000 theorems ahead of their time.
Many results were so advanced that they were proved only years after his death.
His work became part of modern mathematics and physics, like fractals, modular forms, string theory, and black hole studies.
Proofs, probabilities, possibilities, and sets
You are my singularity — the point where my equations break and my world collapses into love.
After John Nash won the Nobel Prize for Economics, a small ceremony was held in the Fine Hall Common Room at Princeton University.
Nash was asked to make a few remarks, and his first comment was:
"I hope that getting the Nobel will improve my credit rating, because I really want a credit card".
Today's date: 3²/ 4² / 5².
math isn't a hard subject you all just refuse to learn.

Parallel lines have so much in common…
It’s a shame they’ll never meet. 😢💔
Can you identify the step with mathematical error?
When Euclidean just isn’t enough. Enter the world of Riemannian Geometry, where curves rule!

Galileo Galilei was a pioneering Italian scientist. He greatly improved the design of the telescope. He discovered Jupiter’s four largest moons. Galileo supported the heliocentric model of the solar system.
He spent his final years under house arrest for his beliefs.
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
~Albert Einstein
Ego and knowledge are inversely proportional
On 9 April 1673, Leibniz was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London: "a position of which he was very desirous" according to Oldenberg.
"An Imaginary Tale" shows the fun and mystery behind i (iota), the square root of -1.
"There's hardly anywhere in literature where you don't find a triangle."

"Chellie"
Chellie loved life. She loved music,
art and people. She especially
adored her husband, her sister,
her children and grandchildren.
She was warm, kind and generous.
She was loved by all who met her.
Her favorite saying:
"And this too shall pass."
Albert Einstein developed the theory of relativity.
He won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics.
His equation E = mc² changed the physics.
He declined Israel’s presidency in 1952.
Einstein valued science, peace, and curiosity.
Graph of f(x) = x^(2n-1), n ∈ N
It's an odd function.
So, symmetrical about origin or opposite quadrants.
Also,
x ∈ (1, ∞) → x < x³ < x⁵ < …
x ∈ (0, 1) → x > x³ > x⁵ > …
x ∈ (-1, 0) → x < x³ < x⁵ < …
x ∈ (-∞, -1) → x > x³ > x⁵ > …
Graphs are shown as:
Our amazing system from small satellites to the huge Sun
Graph of f(x) = x³
A function given by f(x) = x³ is called the cube function.
The domain and range of cube are both equal to R.
Since, y = x³ is an odd function, so its graph is symmetrical about opposite quadrant, i.e., "origin", shown as:
Scientists investigate that which already is,
Engineers create that which has never been.
