i love it when mathematicians use the word "invoke" to basically mean "use". like yes i am a wizard (mathematician) invoking powerful chain lightning spells (using fermat's little theorem) to cut down all who stand in my way (get rid of annoying exponents)

There should be a conlang community but for math. I wanna see counting with factorial base systems and people make up symbols for increasingly useless numbers. Maybe this can make some calculations more intuitive and others much more cursed.

Mathematics people interested in either learning about the Peano axioms of natural numbers (how do you prove a+b = b+a) or interested in learning a proving assistant (Lean) should DEFINITELY check out the natural number game. This is a game which teaches you both of these things step by step, and has you construct the natural numbers and their most important properties from the very basic axioms. Even if you just like logical puzzles and are interested in a bit of mathematics you should check it out!

There's an interesting functional difference between dice pool systems and target number systems that I feel is often overlooked.

For the sake of this discussion with a dice pool system I mean any system where a number of dice are rolled and the values of each individual die are read as is. How those dice are interpreted depends on the game: sometimes you'll be looking at the number of dice that hit a certain numerical threshold (like in WoD, Shadowrun, Burning Wheel, etc.) and that number measures your degree of success. Sometimes you'll simply look at the highest number and interpret the results on a table (like in Blades in the Dark).

Conversely with a target number system I'm referring to any old system where the number of dice rolled is set in stone and the sum of those dice is compared to a target number: the target number itself can be determined by a character's stat or the difficulty of the task, sometimes modifiers are applied to the roll or the difficulty or even both. Whatever. The point is, it's comparing the sum of the roll to a target number and there's a target that needs to be hit for good results. D&D, PbtA, Call of Cthulhu, these are all target number systems, they simply use different dice and different methods for setting the target number.

Anyway, the difference that I feel is often ignored is that within a dice pool system there is no way to outpace the target numbers so that failure is never an option.

Even though in PbtA games modifiers of +5 or more are rare, there is a theoretical possibility of getting there through the clever application of moves, which will theoretically make it so that you will get at least a 7-9 (interpreted as a partial success). Conversely, in D&D (3e, 5e at least) past a certain point characters will reach a degree of competence where certain checks are basically a non-issue. In spite of how people often run these games, natural 1s are not automatic failures on ability and skill checks, so provided you are able to get a high enough bonus (easier in 3e via hunting for synergy bonuses, but even 5e has some abilities which will ensure a minimum result of 10 on the dice for certain proficiencies, meaning that Hard checks become automatic successes).

i got a giant fuckinf diff eq textbook for $6

so im gonna try and learn some differential equations stuff over winter break. never actually had to take a class on it so i wanna try and learn it now.

so hey uhh mathblr, how was ur diff eq class? what parts were super cool, what sucked ass, what was tricky to wrap ur head around, i wanna know!!!!!!!!!
