@cam @vaporeon_ strange, my friends are always telling me that....

@vaporeon_ if you take the determinant of a checkerboard matrix, where the matrix is n x n and n is an odd number, the determinant is always zero!

@vaporeon_ consider matrices that I call "checkerboard matrices". That is, if an element is in the rth row, cth column, and r + c is an even number, then the element is zero

The nonzero elements can be any number you want

Here are two examples:

@vaporeon_ oh let me teach you an obscure determinant fact I discovered a couple years ago

@vaporeon_ it also had graphs that were fun to look at and JavaScript code I wrote to generate the data for the graphs

@vaporeon_ did you see any of my recent stardew math

@aschmitz CHARLI XCX AND DANNY BROWN COLLABORATED?????

@vaporeon_ nice to see germany got at least one thing right

@vaporeon_ what it mean

@sidd_harth0_5h4h she's a lady who raps, everything I've heard from her is real good

I can't believe I only just learned that doechii and lady gaga collaborated

shout outs to pendulum for kicking ass

@alas wow that brings me back to high school. time to listen to that one again

@alas like, the band?

As someone who has played around with math and found things independently it really does feel like discovery
