This proof is a banger, but I have a proof that the eqation xⁿ + yⁿ = zⁿ has no integer solutions for n > 2 on my buttocks

Unfortunately I can't share it with you, as there might be british people on this website.

Actually, currently all the Lemmy instances are blocking the UK because of the new porn law. So you are safe.
- Oh, you mean... there are currently more Argentines than british on lemmy? Escucharon muchachos? Ganamos*
- You're wrong.
  Source: British not using VPN... Well, not for Lemmy, anyhow.
- Source????
- Does that mean reddit.uk is gone now?
  (It's also why I thought "buy European" being hosted there was dumb, especially post Brexit)
- Oh, that's hilarious.
- Damn, we could have just done that rather then having a tea party?
- I haven't yet. I'm waiting to see if the UK can/will do anything to non-UK sites that don't comply.
I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this, which my buttocks is too narrow to contain
Your tattoo is likely not a proof, but just a formula. And if I am not mistaken: the assumption that the formula is true, got disproven a few years ago.
Formatting is wild there my dawg. Fermat's sufficiently recognisable tho' that I know what it meant to say
The proof is actually pretty simple but the character limit on my instance is too small to contain it
- I updated it
  Kinda weird formatting for superscript
Andrew Wiles has taken offense.
I think Lemmy is beyond the eyes of the law. At least, hopefully.

I think that is LaTeX on her arm. How sexy.

No it's not. latex is the source code

Listen, Pythagoras gives us the hands down best way to tell intelligent life visiting earth that we're intelligent. Drawing a right triangle and marking the sides with 3 dots, 4 dots, and 5 dots immediately demonstrates that we are a sapient species that has developed mathematics with no need for a device or language. Of course, we're all carrying devices these days, so maybe that's no longer relevant.

If we ever do met intelligent alien life, there's no guarantee such a thing will make any sense to them.
I mean, for one, they may not have eyes to see your drawing among a million other likely faulty assumptions in your scenario.
- But if they evolved to be right triangles with their sides marked by three dots, four dots, and five dots, then the message will be spot on.
Have you read Anathema?
- The romantic fantasy novel?

For anyone else that needs the reminder, the one on the right is Euler's formula.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_formula

It’s amazing how much a visualization can help to explain
Like I had to take a few higher level math classes in college since I majored in comp sci, and the difference between a professor just writing notation on a board and rambling for an hour vs a professor explaining application and using visuals to explain was such a wild difference in the quality of classes
- Meanwhile Euler was coming up with all this shit while being blind
More specifically, the power series proof of Euler's identity.
Oh sweet! That's the magic that makes rotations work intuitively in Blender and game engines! :D
... Still can't say I understand it but I sure am grateful!
- I thought the magic that makes rotations work intuitively in games was quaternions.

Me to the tattoo artist: "show your work"

Girl on the right has the kind of ink I'm actually a little shocked nobody I've slept with has had. Though my ex wanted Euler's formula as a tattoo.

They both pale in comparison to the Grover’s Algorithm tramp stamp that your mom has.

I mean you do you but the most famous undergrad level proof might not be the flex you imagine it to be.

and basic algebra is a bigger flex?
- I suppose if you really pressed me on it I'd say Pythagorean theorem is maybe less tryhard due to its innocence. It's like the Casio watch of basic maths. Euler's identity is like the cheapest Omega. You're kind of hoping the observer recognizes the brand is expensive, but doesn't know more than that.
- I wonder if it’s a pun or joke. Like her back is C. Idk what else to make to it.
Yeah, at least do the fundamental theorem of algebra, or Stokes' theorem.
- Stokes' theorem tattoo would go hard

I'mma be honest with you guys, I don't get either. And none of the maths either.

Left is the Pythagorean equation. Pretty simple, basic equation that's easy to use and apply.
Right is an elegant mathematical proof, so a little more "attractive" if you like maths I suppose. 😄

Is the girl on the left the actress who plays the actress who pretends to be dead in House? This

edit: actually I can't find that pic anywhere else online so I'm guessing the person isn't real. oh well

Pythagoras is at least something I regularly use in day to day life.

I've had thoughts about math formula cheat sheet tattoos while in school

How are they illustrated so perfectly?

With stuff like this the artist will print a template on special paper that will transfer ink to the skin. They then have a template to simply draw on.
My guess is some sort of printed template was used.
