“... architecture enthusiast...”

Hey Brittany, try some of your funny math in that field. Move into the penthouse. Good luck!

... describes herself on Twitter as a “teacher, scholar, social justice change agent, Chicagoan, PhD student, architecture enthusiast, wannabe math person, BLM always…”

...and someone in need of a tinfoil hat.

She is that person you hear about; "I cut that board three times and it's still too short."

She will never produce anything with what she teaches.

I would like to hear her rant on Pi.

I think that the larger issue is that Libtards are not willing to dive deep into the history of two plus two. We have more than two millennia of development, in a number of different cultures, solving a number of different real problems, to get to where two plus two equals four in just that form and notation.

Too bad this libtard didn't have to work in base 60, which originated with the ancient Sumerians in the 3rd millennium BC, was passed down to the ancient Babylonians, and is still used—in a modified form—for measuring time, angles, and geographic coordinates -- but not with 60 separate symbols. (Ever consider where degrees, minutes, and seconds came from?)

It's not "imperialism" on anyone's part, it's just lazy thinking and learning on YOUR part, libtard.

Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.

Maybe she should consider that anything below base5 is cumbersome and that because we have 10 fingers we use a base10 system. If she wants she can use a ternary system and have 2+2=11.

Then anything based on math is as well

Guess they have to give up every single modern convenience, including houses. Would love to watch as the snowflakes are de-phoned.
