For the last few years I was perfectly happy living in the world of bounded operators…but the time has come. I'm now learning about unbounded operators on Hilbert spaces

Understanding subharmonic functions and comparing them with harmonic functions is quite fun. I can’t explain

Before ChatGPT and the like, some graduate courses had grades based entirely on homework. Apparently that’s impossible now.

Every time I try to draw a disc B(x,r) inside a bounded domain D, it ends up looking like a sunny-side-up egg

School is so useless. They should’ve taught me how to file taxes but instead I learnt that every irreducible complex representation of an abelian group is 1-dimensional

I was talking to my students today about optimization for two-variable functions (using the Hessian, etc.) and ended up discovering a whole bunch of memes on the internet. Here’s one:

ℕ⁺ strikes again. I somewhat understand when algebraists use ℕ = {0,1,...} vs. ℕ⁺ = {1,2,...}, but... analysts???

The world would be a better place if everyone used the same normalization of the Fourier transform

For all of us who were confused about that scene in "Good Will Hunting" when the professor taught Fourier analysis on the board, but assigned an exercise in graph theory at the end of the class.
A new proof reveals a surprising new link between graph theory and the Fourier transform. “It is a little bit like the moon landing or the 4-minute mile,” said Tom Sanders of the University of Oxford. “It’s not clear ahead of time what this is going to open up.”

I love Indian food and the culture but I just want to be able to breathe and not have my throat burn. Been in India for the last two months for my Indian wedding and I don't remember the last time I was so sick for such a long time. I'm tired of wearing a mask. I see small
