  You’re gonna drop three new Ls for ladies, and have two of them be men’s names?

  Lovelace? Lamarr?

    No one means Laplace the person if they say Laplace. And the same for Lagrange though that’s usually only Lagrange points and Laplace is mostly the distribution but also other stuff. Very little of mathematics is named for women because of misogyny. The only thing that comes to mind is Noether’s theorem and that’s not something you come across often. We have Pythagoras but not Hypathia. Einstein but not Maric. At least Lovelace is as famous as Babbage.

      Dunno, Noetherian ring comes up every time commutative algebra is involved.

      The Lagrangian is not just a place in space.

  TLC: Taylor, L’Hospital, and a constant

  I’m in school for respiratory therapy and we learned about laplaces law as it relates to alveoli in the lungs. What are the typical applications of laplaces law? Just wondering because I’m drawing a blank on other ways it could be/is used

    It might also be representing the Laplace Transform, where you convert equations from time-based space to frequency-based space. I used it a bunch in engineering school to make super complicated differential equation relationships into simpler terms.

    Shit is pretty cool…

      As a specific example: it is used in control loops to accurately describe your system. If you have an accurate description it then becomes trivial to describe the PID controller to manage it. Going from open to closed loop is as simple as adding +1 to your equation for example.

    Lan Wu

    I know you’re making a joke, but people getting chinese name wrong always tick me off. Her name is Wu Sau Lan, Wu is the surname, and Sau Lan is her given name, and Chinese put their surname first, given name after. Asian is never given the respect they deserved from the west when their name is pronounced in a wrong order.

      The order thing is very debatable tbh, I generally agree that going in origin culture order is better (easier to keep consistent imo), but there are at least a lot of japanese artists that swap the name order when romanized. (And I don’t think I’d care if someone swapped my name order when speaking chinese).

      Missing the “Sau” (no idea if Sau Lan is one name romanized as two words or two names) feels like a product of ignorance and pretty disrespectful though, yea.

  Always wondered if women were naturally not as good at math as men or if it’s a social construct. Easier to believe the social construct thing, but there are differences in how we think. Hell, there are differences in our very vision. But math? Dunno.

  What’s the latest science on this? Anyone? (And yes, I too can find articles supporting any view I choose. Got any solid science?)
