Phish as a lot to learn from Bitcoin for obvious reasons. We’re on a collision course with Destiny (Unbound) as we get close to Vegas and Bitcoin 26 npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math Absolutely beautiful opening statement.

This comes off as super pretentious and alienating. Programming Bitcoin was a unifying textbook that helped to demystify the math. That’s the book I anchor to for value. npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math https://fountain.fm/episode/8yuqor06ZWbZWxm4k8xC npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math https://fountain.fm/episode/8yuqor06ZWbZWxm4k8xC npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math I’ll have to check this book out! #nevent1q…7gq5 npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math COMING SOON: Office Hours. Are you a listener of the Motivate the Math podcast and have questions you want to work through? Maybe you don’t know what to ask? Maybe you’re just lonely I’m gonna host a space, likely on HiveTalk In the meantime, check out the community on satellite.earth where I host supplementary videos. npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math Video games are harder and far more pointless than pure mathematics npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math https://fountain.fm/episode/VxnhSNvM3GWLpL7hZ2pm npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math We’ll find the balance. Appreciate the boosts of course - but we won’t let the show get too derailed. Eye on the prize!! We have big things to build! npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math https://fountain.fm/episode/wcDCaoF48HBUe1LQg0au @npub160t…yjc9 and @npub12em…y99g were boosted and schooled by @npub16ds…h6vy but they rose to the challenge. This would have gone badly 10 weeks ago. Our progress is evident. npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math Applying math is how a person internalizes the math they learn. It’s just a means to an end. It’s not the end itself. Learn for learning sake. Apply to strengthen the learning. npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math Every math student needs sound coffee! #nevent1q…eqzc npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math We spent the entire episode today on your boosts from episodes 1-5. Tried 6 but we had to abort because we had a time issue. We’ll finish them next week. @npub16ds…h6vy has become the de facto producer of the podcast. Congrats. #nevent1q…klyu npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math It needs to be said @npub16ds…h6vy is a math motivating madman! We can’t wait to read your boosts tomorrow and figure out how to do our show around it @npub160t…yjc9 npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math https://fountain.fm/episode/Z9z0H1YAY9Bv4vDZpBRt npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math Number Theory is an incredible rabbit hole. There’s no way to master cryptography without uprooting your life to master it for however long the journey lasts. You will still be visible in the world but your mind will live in the glorious world for as long as it wants. While in that rabbit hole, the Chinese Remainder Theorem is a side quest that might make you invisible to the world. It’s a world within itself loaded with wondrous discoveries. These are like multi-year video games except finishing them makes you a superhuman. npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math We’ve created a mathematical monster!! Only took 8 episodes!

How can I help teach you and your children math? I know you want to learn and I want to teach it - but how do we really come together? I need to understand your pain and struggles. Please share with me here. npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math Thank you. I’m going through proof (of its existence) involving projective geometry and it’s removing all ability to discuss this with other humans. Thank you kindly for that beautiful economy of words that eludes me. npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math Did you know that the points on an elliptic curve form an Abelian group? Now I’m glad we suffered through 2 podcasts to explain what groups are and how we don’t know why but it’s important to know something is a group! We (on this podcast) still don’t know why this fact matters for elliptic curves yet - but it seems plausible in the context of what we discussed that we like: 1) closure under point addition (adding any two points gives us a point that is definitely on the curve) 2) infinity point is the identity (always wondered what that point meant in the coding books like @npub10vl…sp42 Programming Bitcoin) 3) order of addition doesn’t matter (P1+P2) = (P2+P1) So the points being an abelian group makes all of the arithmetic around adding points nice. VERY NICE! npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU KNOW IS RIGGED TO LOOK A CERTAIN WAY THROUGH A CAREFULLY CONTROLLED MEDIUM. EXCEPT MATH They can’t rig math. They can rig how it’s used and what it says and they can demoralize you into not learning it or seeing for yourself what is knowable. They can co-opt its applications. But they cannot undo Euclid, Euler, or Gauss. Learn math and learn who these men were if you want to have a fighting chance against those who can rig everything you think you know. npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math Based on that thinking - I might say that the ability to be a tyrant and deprive people of their basic necessities of life only to raise their marginal value to them when you benevolently trade it back to them is the most valuable ability. Bitcoin protects you and your descendants from this tyranny. Not completely obviously - but relative to he who has none. Always having the basic necessities without needing the state apparatus is therefore the most valuable thing an individual can acquire. Without bitcoin, this is only possible through debt and wage slavery. npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math Math just needs motivating. It’s not hard if you put in the work. npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math I cannot stress enough the importance of modular arithmetic - the math where we divide and focus only on remainders Take any number N (preferably a prime - let’s use N= 5) (Here = is congruence ) 1(mod5) = 1 2(mod5) = 2 3(mod5) = 3 4(mod5) = 4 5(mod5) = 0 6(mod5) = 1 7(mod5) = 2 8(mod5) = 3 9(mod5) = 4 10(mod5) = 0 You seeing it? 3483638(mod5) = 3 Being good at this is SO IMPORTANT to learning cryptography. You have to be just as comfortable with these operations as nerds are with the other usual ones (addition, multiplication, etc) npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math https://fountain.fm/episode/LNxnprHhlWSBh4n5b0eS This is a bonus episode. Made by AI - we released it because it does such a great job of explaining the 1st 2 episodes to laypeople. npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math Thanks brother! You move yet? #note1ah9…75yl npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math I see a lot of potential to use Nostr for this project. Appreciate that you’re with us for this ride. npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math https://fountain.fm/episode/4QeQ1s9TraV0XEj5nlXz @npub12em…y99g and @npub160t…yjc9 go pretty deep in Episode 2. You might want to check the supporting video. We talk about Groups (seriously - who does that?) I’ve pinned a note on noStrudel exposing a mistake I already know I made - nothing horrible. npub1hpzy3w20jkwh7a7z45ev58vkc3370xva0q78rs0c0npww5smeltsc6tzy4 Motivating The Math @npub12em…y99g and @npub160t…yjc9 are committed to motivating Bitcoiners to study math and demystifying the majority of it. Mistakes will be made as none of us are professionals. We will always hold ourselves accountable - the listeners trust in our signal is paramount. #note1qzf…72gf
