lamarr, get out of there!
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.
TLC: Taylor, L’Hospital, and a constant
Should’ve namedropped Lovelace.
Nobody is meant to work, abolish work.
100% agree!
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…
Solving complicated physical equations, sounds like fate worse than death
Statements like these drive dislike for STEM and general aversion to math and science literacy. Those are things we desperately need
Soo am I supposed to tolerate physicists casually integrating random shit like connections? And haphazardly normalizing integrals that does not converge? Damnit, you can’t even give even loose sense of ‘measure’ to these spaces! How should I tolerate these as a mathematician?
Where is Leibniz in this scheme of yours?
I was looking for L’hopital
