No matter what field in Science you are in, you will use math.

So are white people to do then?

>>8919583
well that's pretty fucked up
are there some developed countries which aren't in a rush to completely fuck themselves up like 1920's USSR left?

>>8919618
its written so informally

reminds me of grading first year's calculus homework

>>8919618
This can't be real...... no......just no....

Because in this day and age if you're a white man you're literally Adolf Hitler.

>>8919583
Oh boy, it's this person again. It took her 12 years to do a PhD in math. She did it at Princeton because diversity reasons and did it without a bachelors in anything STEM related. She was supervised by Manjul Bhargava, a fields medalist, who ended up writing her thesis for her just to get her out. This is evident in her one publication which shares the name of her thesis for which she is not the first author. I really hope she didn't waste too much of Bhargava's time.

>In the early 1800s when this journey first began, I was but a young and naive graduate student. Centuries later, I am a wife, mother of two, and dare I say, mathematician.

>>8919618
Lol. To be fair though, nobody really reads phd theses.

>>8919625
Holy FUCK I hate her writing style.

Overly "quirky" and fake, stilted, pretentious, forced, unfunny, I want to fucking slap this woman. Wait my bad I didnt intend to assume anyones gender of course.

This is less sophisticated then my final project for third year matrix analysis at my podunk provincial uni. (It was on the use of NMF for automatic musical spectra decomposition and analysis.) Can I have a Princeton PhD too?

Ignoring stylistics, is this any good?

If possible a non /pol/ack answer - since anything done by a black person is bad if you ask them.

>>8919660
We have the paper >>8919625

I get it, you don't like the language.

What is it she does in her paper?

"I like to imagine abstraction (abstractly ha ha ha) as pulling the strings on a marionette. The marionette, being “real life,” is easily accessible. Everyone understands the marionette whether it’s walking or dancing or fighting. We can see it and it makes sense. But watch instead the hands of the puppeteers. Can you look at the hand movements of the puppeteers and know what the marionette is doing? A puppeteer walks up to you and says “I’m really excited about figuring out Fermat’s Last Thumb Bend!” You say, “huh?” The puppeteer responds, “Oh, well, it’s simply a matter of realizing that the main thumb joint has several properties that distinguish it from...” You’re already starting to fantasize about the Zombie Apocalypse. Imagine it gets worse. Much, much worse. Imagine that the marionettes we see are controlled by mari- onettoids we don’t see which are in turn controlled by pre-puppeteers which are finally controlled by actual puppeteers. NEVER HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THESE FICTIONAL ACTUAL PUPPETEERS ABOUT THEIR WORK!"

>>8919664
no, not at all. see >>8919660 for another sample.

Does that seem academic or even remotely professional to you?

>>8919669
I don't care how she wrote the text.

Can you explain what she does in the paper?>>8919625

Be honest.

So Princeton is a degree mill now? Why did they accept this person?

>>8919660

>>8919666

>>8919660
How did she get to the point of being able to acquire a PhD? Was /pol/ right after all?

>>8919685
is the abstract too confusing 4 u?

>>8919683
>Expounds on some inconsequential results from undergraduate mathematics.
Woah, that sounds very concrete

>>8919675
>>8919686
It has to be because she's black and a woman and a loud mouth. She got in without even a bachelor's in a related field.

Things like this just reinforce the stereotype of assumed incompetence typically applied to blacks, latinos, and women in STEM.

>>8919625
Yes yes she is into identity politics, but so is half this site

But her paper seems ok, aside from the way she wrote it

>>8919694

Literally both you twerp. Bhargava had to shit something out and slap her name on it to make her leave.

How did she pass the quals? Did she get special circumstances or something?

>>8919698
She has a phd from Princeton and a position in academia, and only one publication. That's absolutely pathetic. I don't know her subject or whether her paper is good, but I don't need to. It's just one paper and that's ridiculous

Denied Awards and Recognition

Surviving village-less parenthood is its own reward, 2011–
Surviving patriarchy is its own reward, 1980–
Surviving white supremacy is its own reward, 1980–

So Princeton adcoms, actual mathematicians, at one of the top 5 pure math departments in the world, decided to take this woman as a student over countless actual geniuses. She probably got an exception for the qualifying exam (unless Princeton got rid of it?) and her advisor likely did all the nontrivial work, which she rewrote in her "liberated" style. Somehow, the department thinks all of this was a good idea. What the fuck? Are people really still this guilty over segregation? It's been 50 fucking years now.

>>8919734

As insane as she is. I really dislike that this isn't acknowledged.

Still, more and more people are recognizing the cancer that sjw and the alt-right truly are, though sjw are on the decline and /pol/fags need more and more obscure people to post about.

yeah

We wuz maths n shieeet.

>>8919746
They probably let her in for muh diversity, and then realized they'd made a horrible mistake. They decided the best way to get rid of her was giving her a degree

>>8919746
An actual Fields medalist was her supervisor.
Someone considered supervising this person to be a proper use of time for a fields medalist.
Reality has become a parody of itself.

Then fail her at the quals and send her home instead of embarrassing yourself further, that's why they exist. Maybe they didn't want to risk the bad PR of being accused of racism for not having racially inclusive qualifiers that don't linguistically oppress young bloods of color? Who knows.

I refuse to believe she could have passed Princeton's quals.

>>8919754

What? Me proving what every non-crazy person (not that there are that many left) already knows.
That as long as you're pressing the right buttons, "representing" the right groups and pointing fingers at the approved enemies you can say the most crazy, off-topic shit anywhere and be praised for it.
Me bringing up holocaust-revisionism was merely an example that left-wing crazyness is rewarded, right-wing (crazyness) is punished. None of them are appropriate at the AMS, but this example shows their double-standard.

>>8919809
that guy is nowhere near the woman in the OP
>My personal approach is to ground these kinds of discussions in the values used to derive the course design decisions. I teach with inquiry, and I emphasize communication, collaboration, multiple perspectives, and learning from each other because of beliefs I hold about learning. Because I’ve been explicit about these values and design choices, I can connect the kinds of discussions of politics in this post to the course, so it feels related. Moreover, because I’ve built this foundation early in the course, these political conversations are part of the continuity of the course, not breaks from the course to do something awkward that closes completely when they’re over. But pausing your course for a few minutes to talk together about the context in which you are all living is absolutely a useful approach too.

>>8919828
What does that have to do with science(/sci/ remember?) though?

>>8919809
>Katz
Hmm, I wonder.

>>8919618
You're all stupid and cherry picking. She wrote her thesis in sections: one for the novice, one for someone in nearby fields, and one for the expert. Of course the portion written for the novice is basic.

>>8919844
to me it just seems like

>>8919625
How did she get into Princeton again? Looking at her CV she majored in "romance languages" and was a masters student for 7 fucking years before taking off another 6 to raise a child, then just popped back into her thesis for a year before leaving, no wonder the thesis is so shit, it takes a several months to compile, clean, and write up a good thesis, but she basically just shitted this out in a year. Seriously read the thesis, it's bad.

>>8919705
What the fuck is "infant care related misogyny"

>single black lady

Way to be a stereotype.

>>8919769
I agree with you, I'm just saying what probably happened. If they kicked her out she would have cried racism and sexism so hard. The department might have just not wanted to deal with that

>>8919865
I can see it now:
>institutional racism fostered by white cis males makes it impossible for me to pass the qualifying exam, and makes fair grading impossible. grading itself is an oppressive white cis male construct that reinforces oppression of colored bodies while ignoring other forms of understanding used by people of color.

>>8919847
I've never heard of anyone writing a version of their thesis "for the novice"

>>8919583
>>8919625
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1309.2025.pdf
The paper this thesis is based on is 12 pages, the thesis is 139, what the fuck? What happened to the three paper rule? You know, a thesis requires at least three solid papers worth of material, unless it's devoted to one big result or construction.

>>8919868
That's because other people don't. I was just discussing this the other day. Basically, math papers are a bitch to read. Authors, especially grad students, try to talk things up so they look clever and sophisticated, which is detrimental to giving understanding. So Piper went through extra work to make her thesis accessible. I like the idea, truthfully.

>>8919879
It's also a good way to turn what eventually turned out to be a 12 page paper into a 100+ page "thesis"

Where did it go wrong.

YOU WILL NOT REPLACE US, RUSSIA IS OUR FRIEND, HAIL TRUMP, HAIL OUR PEOPLE

IDENTITY EVROPA

>>8919884
And big tough geniuses don't have to read all 100 pages.

>>8919722
I had a paper published by the time I graduated from high school.

How the fuck did she have only 1 paper published during her entire 13 years studying for her PhD? How did she even get into Princeton? Why didn't they kick her out after she clearly made no progress? I have so many questions.

>>8919889
they will truly never learn

also is the short guy the same guy that went to prison for 5 years after he robbed an iraqi taxi driver at gun point

>>8919891
I think you're missing the point that a phd thesis is supposed to contain a significant contribution to the field.

>>8919905
It's really not, and it rarely does. You also can't measure the worth of a paper by its page count.

>>8919879
Yeah, but thats not the case. Read her anaolgies and theyre fucking garbage. The paper is instead, to the layman, a poorly written ebonics strewn ivory tower exercise in ridiculous math bullshit.

At least reading a regular thesis it wouldnt be painful from a literary standpoint. This thing is an affront to the english language and I as a layman have no more understanding of its content than I would any other math thesis.

Honestly, if it was just a shittily written blog post of a thesis I could forgive it, but no, it just had to throw in some social justice bullshit.

I wonder how many posting here are actually mathematicians.

thank you for asking

>academia is full of people who got in there because of their gender and skin color
>the only way to fix it is to put more people in there based on their gender and skin color
this is what drives me up the fucking wall about my fellow lefties. these kinds of diversity initiatives don't fucking work because:
a) they're trying to fix wrongful discrimination by using wrongful discrimination, not working towards an actual meritocracy,
b) if white cis men who favor equality leave positions of power, all it means is that white cis men who oppose equality will be comparatively enriched in the upper echelons, and
c) it doesn't address the underlying problem of women and minorities being discouraged AS GRADE SCHOOLERS from pursuing careers in STEM.

want to make academia more diverse? excellent! here's how you do it:
>decouple school funding from local property taxes, so growing up in a poor neighborhood doesn't condemn you do having a shitty education
>fund inclusive initiatives to get kids involved and interested in science; after-school tutoring, school clubs, and school visits from professionals are all good ways to go. focus on the message that science and math are for EVERYONE
>shit, just send more money to schools in general
>train hiring committee members on combating implicit bias. everyone's got it, but it only becomes a problem if we're unaware of it and let it tilt our actions
the answer to women and minorities being underrepresented in academia isn't to lower the standards for them, but rather to give them the same shot as white men have. instead of excusing people who were set up to fail, let's stop setting them up to fail. this is the kind of "soft racism of low expectations" shit that GWB talked about. gotta think of future generations here.
but there are people on the left who think that everything can be fixed overnight if we just kick out the white men and replace them with women of color. and that's unrealistic, unethical, and fuckstupid.

imagine being her kid and reading her CV, and seeing the story of how you came into the world being described as "Oppression" by your mother. I mean, holy hell.

also who the fuck lists the daily business of existing in a shitty world under their education? I've spent the past four years battling my anxiety disorder EVERY SINGLE DAY (and winning most days) but that doesn't fucking belong on a CV!

>>8919625
Oh, fuck sake.
Stream of consciousness is not a way to write a thesis. You may be charming and funny and polished as a speaker, but it's simply not possible to write how one speaks and come up with something intelligible. In print, maintaining flow is far less important than in the spoken word. Writing well is less about arranging a compelling narrative, and more about laying out your argument in a clear and concise way. You don't need to punctuate things with an offhand comment to give your audience time to catch up, if you're writing; you can proceed directly to your next point, and the reader will simply follow at their own pace. Nor is it necessary to recapitulate every paragraph with a summary; the reader has the luxury of going back and rereading a passage they are unclear on. Written communication can be more compact, because the pace is controlled by the reader rather than the writer, and because the writer has the opportunity to edit it before shipping it off, it should be significantly more polished.

Of course, if I expressed any of these views to her, she'd probably accuse me of tone policing. But just because we shouldn't be snobs about colloquial versus formal modes of speech doesn't mean we can't use formal speech in, say, A DOCTORAL THESIS/DISSERTATION. I can slip into Chicagoland street talk (heavily influenced by African-American Vernacular English, Yiddish, Polish, and Irish speech patterns) but you better believe I'm not going to include it in a poster abstract.

They added an addendum. The page is different than the archived version that can be seen here https://archive.fo/CqQYg

ADDENDUM: Since last Friday, this post has been getting lots of comments, some of which are very inappropriate. We would like to remind our readers of a few things:

This is a blog post, an opinion piece, and a provocation to think. As Piper says, it is about “shifting perspective”. It is not being written by a university president, nor is it something we are acting upon. We are not actually firing anyone. A common argumentation device is to take something to the extreme to really help us do the shifting (and often with things regarding race and gender, this is an effective device, albeit upsetting for some). This also does not necessarily represent the opinions of the AMS and its members, it represents our point of view.
We assert our right to express controversial opinions in a civilized way, because it is legal to do so. We are not even the first or most extreme, we are just doing this from a different point of view. Here is a Breitbart piece on the exact counter-argument, which I found deeply offensive but nonetheless did not cause me to explode in rage and start a social media war.
Please do share your comments if you disagree, but recall our guidelines for posting comments (see below).
Any comments containing profanity, insults, personal attacks, or suggestions of violence will not be approved, no matter how carefully reasoned the rest of your comment was.
We will try to respond to comments, but the sheer volume is making it hard to do so in a timely manner. Rest assured that if your comment follows the guidelines (and see item (4)) it will at least be posted.
Thanks for reading the inclusion/exclusion blog.

No, it's not. Life choices is why women and minorities are underrepresented in STEM fields. Minorities choose to follow the thug life and die/be incarcerated, women choose social and biological sciences as they are more interested in it.

Im from /pol/, help me out here.

>We need to decouple success in mathematics from IQ. IQ is a social construct that cishet white men devised that defines “intelligence” on the basis of culture. Sadly, there is a direct correlation between high IQ and “earning” a PhD in a STEM discipline, which is all too reflective of how white cishet men have designed disciplinary concepts to reinforce their own power structures.

>It is fundamentally unfair and marginalizing for IQ tests and mathematics curriculum to be designed around the same white supremacist, cisheteronormative standards, thus marginalizing women of color. What we need isn’t just “fair hiring;” we need a radical reconceptualization of mathematics in a decolonizing framework.

>>8920125
there's more to racism and sexism than just some white guy saying "UR NOT ALLOWED"
there's a stigma against women going into STEM; they're seen as boys' fields, which is why girls are less likely to go into science. a black kid in middle school will be perceived by his peers as "acting white" if he expresses an interest in comp sci, in a lot of places. this is what outreach is supposed to combat.

both SJWs and /pol/acks need to let go of this idea that racism and sexism are enforced by boogiemen who lurk around to keep women and minorities where they belong; the most insidious ideas are the ones that nobody really wants anymore, but still hang on because we don't realize how much they affect our subconscious reasoning. very few people would go up to little Annie in third grade and tell her "oh sweetie, girls can't be engineers; they have to be English teachers instead", but your average Annie gets that message all the same, from her classmates' attitudes, from the subconscious responses of teachers and parents, and from who they see representing those fields. and eventually Annie internalizes it (usually without even realizing it) and becomes less likely to go to engineering school.

this is part of why diversity in academia is important; to show impressionable children that no matter who you are, you can study whatever you want to study; there are no men's fields or women's fields, no white subjects or black subjects or asian subjects. of course, the flip side of this kind of representation is that those representatives (of whatever groups) have to actually be legitimate professionals in their field. people like Herron define themselves by their victimized status; she's not "a mathematician who happens to be a black woman", but has rather deliberately made herself "a black woman mathematician".

the Jackie Robinsons and Jerry Lawsons and Barbara McClintocks of the world didn't demand that everyone heap praise on them because they had survived discrimination. no, they fought through it all to show that they were great in their own right, and in so doing inspired others to follow in their footsteps. the ones who think they command respect just because they got a raw deal but still did okay? they're just pretenders, the flip side of the coin to the "good old boy" who got where he is through patronage and nepotism.

>Want to try that word salad again?
there is a cultural/societal perception that math and science are "for boys", which dissuades a lot of girls from studying them. look down the toy aisle at your local retailer; toys marketed to boys are more likely to involve combat and mechanisms, while those marketed to girls are more likely to involve socializing and artistic endeavors. (or, to simplify, boys play with action figures but girls play with dolls. there's a certain amount of this that does seem to be neurological, if studies on gorillas and infants are any guide, but it's enhanced by our culture.)
sorry about the garbled prose, though; I'm a little wiped out today.

>How do you explain females in the third world rushing to get into STEM?
in third world countries, formal education is the exception rather than the norm. there's often not the infrastructure outside of the main cities for kids to go to school, and economic conditions often mean that they drop out around middle school and start working instead because their families need the income. I'm talking about American/Western society, though.

that was the only one i mentioned... and its what the blog post in OP was about

and wow it's almost like as efforts to enforce gender equality increase, whether in USA or in scandinavian countries, you get more and more women going into the softer/social sciences because that's what they're generally more interested in...

>>8920264
How do you still not get this? That's the point! Why aren't women interested in hard sciences? There's zero evidence to suspect it's genetic.

>>8920270
How do you still not get this? There's every reason to suspect it's genetic since every effort to control social factors causes INCREASES the gender divide, sending more men into STEM and more women into things like nursing

i have a math degree and am a graduate student, it's not a particularly glamorous life and women generally desire more in their social life then what they would likely get sitting around in chalkdust-filled classrooms

I'm also a math grad student. You literally said women like nursing, not thinking about math. One is a hobby, as open to both genders from birth as can be. One is a biological duty that only one gender is physically capable of performing. How is that a "natural draw" to be compared to thinking about math?

Because all of the girls I know don't fucking like to stay in the dusty construction, or near machines reek of oils, or get under the sewer.
Don't ask me why they don't want to get into the field, ASK THEM INSTEAD.
Obviously there are exceptions but generally girls don't like the freaking dirty work and don't blame "sexism" for that.
That is why Math and CS have more girls anyway because they are more comfortable.

Do they have a large group? Odds are she went with the flow for 4-5 years, then blackmailed the SOB into approving her thesis.

Most graduates from my group employ some variation of this. It's not as bad as it sounds.

None of you have any place to judge the quality of her math. You actually believe it more likely that there's some grand conspiracy to put black women in important places than that this woman did good work. Incredibly you've all missed the point of writing the thesis the way she did. This board is a joke.

>>8920503
That's absolutely not what her CV says. She left after however many years with a master's and then came back and finished her thesis. That's far from uncommon.

At least she has an accurate self-conception. Her 'about the editors' paragraph:

Piper Harron tried really hard to play by the rules of society and academia, but she failed. Not only did she fail, but she was miserable and found that playing by the rules wouldn’t even keep her safe. After giving up completely, and after giving birth to her second child, she finally finished the first draft of her number theory PhD thesis in 2014, a mere 6 years late. She officially got her degree from Princeton University in January 2016, and is currently a Temporary Assistant Professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. She dedicates her work to everyone who dabbles in misery, trying to find their way in systems that don’t support them, and to anyone trying to tear it all down.

No, I do too. Princeton isn't going to take Master's students. You come in as a PhD student, and if you decide to leave before your thesis you are still granted a master's degree so long as you've done quals and however much coursework. I would recommend that if it seems like someone is doing something absurd and it makes absolutely no sense to you, maybe it's because you don't fully understand the situation.

>>8920031
exactly.

the less work the author does, the more work the reader has to do. and since a thesis (or anything, really) is written once, and read many times then the author will be appreciated for putting in the appropriate amount work.

Well Adriana, maybe we DON'T LIKE YOUR ARGUMENT! Did you ever slip that variable into your formula?

>a black kid in middle school will be perceived by his peers as "acting white" if he expresses an interest in comp sci, in a lot of places.


>"acting white"
so how is that white people's fault?

sounds to me it's black people's fault.

As a black male who has worked tirelessly to contribute in a meaningful way to STEM, I would gladly sign a petition telling this woman to fuck off. I couldn't care less about whether or not my colleagues look like me or whether they're confused about their chromosomes: literally the only thing that is important is that the people I work with are competent.

I don't want the well-educated and well-established figures to "move out of the way" because they're white; I want the chance to work with them and prove my mark in the same manner they did.

Princeton does, in fact, offer Masters' degrees. This is a relatively recent development, but it's real.

That's what everyone who's there for the right reason wants. I know someone like you at my uni, he's smarter than me. You will go far, dude.

>>8920564
What I'm suggesting, and maybe this was unclear, is that it is unlikely that they take many people for terminal Master's.

Black guy here. Too many """systems""" supported her attitude.

There should obviously be room for creativity, but this isn't creativity. She should have either been made to prove that she is at least WILLING to do actual work in her field or be removed to make space for somebody who is.

Not in math. It's given along the way in the phd program but one mayn't enroll in a math masters.

I'm literally shaking rn. Did the AMS actually publish this cow's story

can anyone find the radiolab segment on her?

like I said, these ideas worm their way into people's heads. kids are impressionable; they pick up on what's around them. and when elements within our culture tell kids that science is for white men and black men are supposed to be athletes or musicians instead, they internalize it. those kids being black themselves doesn't make them immune to it.

if you're trying to figure out who to blame, you're barking up the wrong tree. the people who got the ball rolling have been dead for centuries. institutionalized racism in America is a relic left over from an economic system based on labor-intensive cash crops, a tool designed to enrich the moneyed classes by recruiting poor white people to keep black slaves subdued.
in the end, it was a bad deal for everybody involved; black Africans and their descendants were brutalized and exploited, working-class whites suffered from low wages and unemployment (since cheap slave labor got rid of a lot of the jobs they'd otherwise fill), and even the planters ended up screwing themselves over eventually (since they'd sunk their money into slaves, and then their slaves were all freed after the war). (note of course that most SJWs would call for my head on a spike for admitting that slavery was bad for people besides blacks.) but some patterns in society have a way of propagating themselves even if they're not beneficial to anyone. as before, the only ones benefiting from this holdover are rich assholes who stoke divisions to distract the working man from how they're getting screwed.
but enough of my quasi-socialist rantings. the point is, we're kinda fucked

>I almost said "on your watch" LOL
i-is this real?

>>8920575
well i just finished my first year in math grad school, and this shit kind of makes me want to abandon the academia meme.

>>8920596
i think its TBA

slavery existed in every single culture, black people enslaved other blacks until white people became smart enough to build ships and get to where black peolpe were living, then the more powerful black people sold the less powerful black people to the white people for gold nuggets.

america was the first country in the world to seriously consider the idea that slavery is wrong. just get the facts straight before you start going on your "all americans benefited from brutal slavery" soapbox of lies
