    On location...

    I have given talks (or served on a jury) in a Hilbert space, a Banach space, a Baire space, a Schwartz space, a Weyl chamber, and in a Fourier series.

    Salient values of trigonometric functions

    I noticed this pattern in the early 1990s but learned that I am far from being the first to have done so (Jean-Luc Eveno heard this some 20 years earlier from a teacher and surmises that it has been teachers' lore for generations before)—if you have seen this published anywhere I'd be interested in knowing:
    \(x\) in degrees:\(0^\circ\)\(30^\circ\)\(45^\circ\)\(60^\circ\)\(90^\circ\)
    \(x\) in radians:\(0\)\(\displaystyle\frac\pi6\)\(\displaystyle\frac\pi4\)\(\displaystyle\frac\pi3\)\(\displaystyle\frac\pi2\)
    "Label":\(0\)\(1\)\(2\)\(3\)\(4\)
    \(\sin(x)\):\(\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt0}2\)\(\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt1}2\)\(\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt2}2\)\(\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt3}2\)\(\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt4}2\)

    Mathematical limericks

    A Dozen, a Gross, and a Score,
    plus three times the square root of four,
      divided by seven,
      plus five times eleven,
    equals nine squared and not a bit more.
        — Jon Saxton

    \(\dfrac{12+144+20+3\sqrt4}7+5\cdot11=9^2+0\)

    Integral z-squared dz
    from 1 to the cube root of 3
      times the cosine
      of three pi over 9
    equals log of the cube root of 'e'.
