It's so much fun at parties - people are interested in you when they find out you have a PhD, then when they find out it's in maths they walk away. Literally.
I am a weirdo.

you say (836) "The first line is me pointing out that Edie does not need to apologise for reading his post in that way." but it isn't, because you're saying you don't understand why edie's not interpreting it the way you think it should be interpreted.and you say there's what d-b would call a cunts collective who keep doing stuff. in fact, it seems to me you're making out edie's not really the sharpest tool in the box. no matter: it doesn't say what you said it said. fyi: it is not a good idea to talk a load of auld bollocks if people can check what you said before and see you're full of excrement.
you say (836) "The second line is acknowledging that she has every right to forgive him, but his failure to simply apologise on the thread instead of repeated self-justifying means that I think it's reasonable to ask him to provide an explanation for that post on the thread." but there's bugger all about forgiveness here. you simply say that if edie accepts blagsta's explantion, that's fine. but it's clearly not, because you've already said that it's cheap point-scoring and you don't understand why edie's too stupid / internalised too much oppression / blinded by blagsta's explanation (delete as appropriate) to see it.
and revol's covered this in his posts.
what sort of maths?It's so much fun at parties - people are interested in you when they find out you have a PhD, then when they find out it's in maths they walk away. Literally.

I was very fortunate at school - I had three brilliant maths teachers from 13-18 of which two were women. But I had a male physics teacher who always gave me a harder time than the guys even when I was getting the same high grades and helping half the class with the homework.I was told not to bother applying to Oxford. By a male teacher, natch.
A bloke on my poker site asked me for advice recently and we exchanged some PMs. He ended one message with "Hope you don't mind me asking but I thought I'd ask a smart guy." In my response, I noted that I was a gal not a guy. He instantly switched from asking me for advice to giving me some incredibly patronising unasked for advice, despite already knowing that I play considerably higher stakes than he does. Quite remarkable.
They've had to introduce a women's issues forum there because of the unchecked misogyny on the site. Easier than moderating the whole site properly, I guess. Still, the sexist assumptions made about female poker players make it very easy for us to take their money, so I tolerate it.
Edie, that's made my shitty week tons better. Thanks, girlie x xI think your fucking ACE equation girl
You clever, and cool, and don't think it's not been noticed how bloody KIND you are to a lot of other posters. Big up yourself.
yeh you can't do anything about a problem until you acknowledge it exists
Darlin I'm only saying what everyone is thinking.Edie, that's made my shitty week tons better. Thanks, girlie x x
It's applied maths - I modelled how diabetic wounds heal so that I could investage different treatments to see if they could heal faster and better. It's tons of differential equations, simulataneous equations and some algebra at the start. It was really interesting but bloody hard work (60 hour weeks for 4 years) and I read over 400 papers, patents and books on medicine, biology, mathematical techniques and treatments.
Thanks for asking

It sounds like it makes you happyThanks
That's the beauty of applied maths, it's using maths to solve problems in a systematic way. Plus if its a medical problem it's easier to run simulations that try and do animal or human trials, plus you can do lots of experiments at a relatively low cost.
(although I know your job makes you cry with frustration!)
yeh but i wonder if equationgirl could model a better job to see what it looks likeIt sounds like it makes you happy
Thank youBloody hard work, but rewarding with real-life importance. Nice one.
I like maths - I don't get to do much of it at the moment but I do regularly surprise engineers in the department by reading, understanding and correcting their equationsIt sounds like it makes you happy
Hmmm....yeh but i wonder if equationgirl could model a better job to see what it looks like
My physics teacher predicted me a D. I got an A. He very sweetly wrote to me to say "I've never been more happy to be more wrong."
Thanks, that's really nice of you.

inserted for those that might not understand that this is a joke)
Or maybe get a better job as a model.
