>> Our so-called Arabic numerals were actually invented in India

Correct, and I occasionally point that out. The numerals 1-9 preexisted India’s contribution of zero giving 0-9. The inclusion of zero was meant to help with alignment, but it ironically proved to have much “greater” value.

I see you got to the salient point first!

It didn't take you or I very long to figure out that he wasn't a math professor. The writer of this piece should feel shame for missing that fact.

In some ways influencing the next generation of teachers is worse than being an embarrassment to a math department.

Let’s leave it up to the market.

Plane one, was designed and built by qualified engineers who used racist white cisheteropatriarchal math.

Plane two, was designed and built by people who used equity based inclusive diversity math who reject the white man’s racist maffs.

Assistant Professor. This is the way to get tenure now.

Why does that statement trigger you?

I wait to be offended. I am offended that you’re offended. /S

Plane two, if it ever even gets built, will crash on takeoff.

Also, Plane Two cannot use any materials or fuels produced using White Man’s racist maffs.

Funny, Asians don’t seem to have a problem with “cishetropathic” math?

Must be just dumb, queer Vanderbilt professors and certain ethnicity subgroups.

You have to admit that they are very clever in attacking the spinal column of Western civilization. Who before would have ever thought of the tactic of attacking logic itself?

Go for the purest form of knowledge, and then there’s nothing left to attack the attackers with. You’ve turned the human brain into a cellulose dishrag.

The abnormal desire to have sexual relations with the dead remains of the Elephant Man.

In about 1987 Michael Jackson tried to buy the skeleton from the museum where it was kept.

I saw the word written on a chalk board in the an office where I worked and asked if that was what it meant, and was told “Yes.”

I guess we won’t have bridges (and a lot of other things) in the future.

Never said I was offended. I just wondered why he asked his question in the manner that he did. It’s a well known fact that there have been women, blacks, and even non heterosexuals that have excelled in math. Thus, none of those traits are responsible for holding an individual back when it comes to math excellence. In other words, I was just stating a truth, that countered what this professor has claimed. In fact, my gaydar goes off looking at this professor, so he should know first-hand that his statement is nothing but BS. 🙂

Mess with his paycheck. Tell him if there are any errors that “maths be hard.”
