It's a STEM Life...

All our friends getting through exams, this one is for you!

A coffee cup of caffeine!

If you don’t know Cauchy now, you most likely will at some point in your mathematical career. 

He’s so badass. Let me tell you something about Augustin-Louis Cauchy.  We were best friends in middle school. I know, right? It’s so cool. I don’t even… Whatever. So then in eighth grade, I started doing some really neat math that was totally new to me, but then the teacher moved to Indiana, and Cauchy was all like “study analysis.”  Like, if I would blow off analysis to study something else, he would be like, “Why didn’t you finish the chapter?” And I’d be like “Why can’t you wait until I take pre-calc first so I can understand you.” So then, for my birthday party, which as an all-mathlete study party, I was like, “Cauchy, I can’t invite you because my friends think I’m a big enough geek as it is.” I mean, I couldn’t have a famous mathematician there. There were gonna be mathletes with their calculators there. I mean, right? He was a mathematician! So then his mom called my mom, but it was actually the librarian saying I needed to return Cauchy to the library.

Happy birthday, Albert Einstein.

Here, a look at a famous picture taken in Albert Einstein’s Princeton office — exactly as he left it — mere hours after the great theoretical physicist and 20th-century icon died in 1955.
