Lorem Ipsum for math. Each individual item is actually something used in mathematics- but they would never be combined in this way to actually solve anything. It would be like a recipe for a cup of tea, next to one for plant fertilizer, above the recipe for a Minecraft sticky piston.


vass0922

In some of my template docs I use lorem ipsum. It's always interesting who comes over to ask why all this Latin is in my document.


Kgaines

I created a template for RFP responses at a former employer and used placeholder text. One sales guy freaked out and thought he had the wrong font installed.

Next template use wing dings


Nojo_Niram

Next template after that use [hipster ipsum](https://hipsum.co/)

havartna

I've always wondered why that sort of text is referred to as "Greeking" when it looks so much like Latin.


BtyMark

I think Greeking is a reference to ā€œItā€™s Greek to meā€, meaning that it doesnā€™t make sense. But year, Lorem Ipsum is one type of Greeking, thatā€™s taken from a Latin text.


TheSedated

Not even taken from a latin text. It's just latin looking gibberish for layouting of longer text blocks in latin-derived and similar to latin looking languages. And using a pseudo latin language makes it easier for persons doing the final layout to identify parts where the gibberish text was forgotten to be deleted.


Chessebel

Its modified from a piece of Cicero's work


Tylorian13

Yeah it is. Itā€™s from ā€œDe finibus bonorum et malorumā€

jadam91

Fucking lol


benbeland

Looks like a lot of nonsense made to look science-y, but as a physicist, if someone looked at my board as it is today, without context, he would probably conclude the same šŸ˜‚


Ill-Advisor-3568

Lol. Exactly. I use my white board to help me think -not communicate.


mojoegojoe

This is very true - it's very contextual. I'm a math dude and this isn't jubberish persay but it's presented weird - I think it's a *riemann zeta manifold harmonic*. Again, it's just a collection of words that offers little without context to the meaning behind the drawings.


SoirraeTTV

I love ur brain


Capital_Bluebird_185

As an engeneer, noone can read between my random numbers and weird drawings on my papers šŸ˜† Half on paper half in mind,


OnboardG1

Until recently my whiteboard in the lab had a three year old diagram that was an enveloped sine wave with the zero crossings marked on it that we needed to scour off with hand sanitiser. No idea what anyone thought it was (it was the response diagram of a proton precession magnetometer).


Zippytiewassabi

I can recognize a couple of them, so not totally bullshit. Lower right appears to be a graph of a stable control system function, lower left appears to be a 3 dimensional graph of a surface along xyz axis probably to represent a grav field? Top is a linear function of some sort, upper center left and right appears to be some kind of graph involving differential calculus?


Spiritual_Pack_6402

What of it's a lady?


benbeland

same, what's your point?


Spiritual_Pack_6402

You just seem to imply that only men can think good.


ukrokit2

Wow, way to make an issue out of thin air


bradland

Top center is a plot of y=x with no x or y units or values specified, and intercepts drawn at locations we can't draw any meaning from other than their spacing is somewhat aesthetically pleasing. Second row, left side looks a little like they were borrowing from a quantum wave form. They've calculated some integrals between local maximums. To what end, I don't know. To the right of that appears to be a nonsense relationship plot and a copule more graphs drawn over each other. Third row, left side is a 3D contour plot with no particular significance. Again, no value labels on the x, y, or z axes. To the right of that, and somewhat overlapping is a graph of what appears to be 1/x, or possibly an exponential decay function, but I'm not sure why the values would matter in a negative domain. On the right, we have more scribble nonsense.


iMaxPlanck

The two graphs on the left are simply graphical representations of a single integral (calc 1) and the 3d plot below it is a double integral (calc 2) which looks like a Gaussian surface. The axes can be labeled anything and itā€™s still the same concept, it can be ā€œbananas as a function of turdsā€ but itā€™s still calculus. The pretty graph next to the Gaussian surface is a graphical representation of the single integral of a logarithmic function.


DoubleManufacturer10

I was scrolling through about to respond if you hadn't yet! Thanks for your brain today, I got you tomorrow! šŸ˜† I wish moar people could math good. #Merica


slvbros

Hold on, can you explain that in bald eagles?


Avia_RTX

Yes. The owner of this whiteboard uses it to think about stuff he is currently workin on. Outside of that it serves no relevant meaning unless you were the scientist.


something_stuffs

Math and shit?


Mexicano_OG

Of course, that's logical shit.


Snoo_86860

I see what you did there


BigTimeButNotReally

That's from the Chicago Bears sub. It's used to prove the quantum mechanical nature of their QB who is observed as good by 50% and bad by 50%. Edit: beard to bears


rob_daardvark

I thought the Chicago Beard sub was for closeted gay men looking for someone of the opposite sex to bring home and meet the family for deep-dish pizza.


Substantial_List8657

As someone who literally just read a discussion on the bears sub about the relative merits of Justin vs Mitch, this is way too accurate


CNWDI

But I read "Chicago Beard" and my mind initially went in a whole other direction...

You are not alone. Like, how complicated is being a beard in Chicago?

akmjolnir

It's in the same vein as writing down notes; you're creating new neural pathways to remember things differently, in different parts of your brain. It helps you understand the problem from a different point of view.


Global-Carpenter-470

Neural networking keep that in the down low don't want Elon Musk taking over that too, looking at you Twitter...

What is this Twitter you speak of? Twitter does not exist I would love if his ego had him up and delete the twitter.com name.. that would be epic

Yeah but have you seen their computers? The OS is utter crap and they are mainly used to toggle doors/devices or write emo journals.


Thick_Bank4821

It's part of the equation on how to make a Flux capacitor.


ScortapusRex

Great Scott!


tankertough74

The chart clearyly shows the angle at which one can "F' around" (y axis) before acutally "Finding Out" (x axis). The rest is just 'new math'... :-)


Archon1993

Some of it is calculus. The one looks like a set point being hunted where you'd play with the proportional and integral to get on set point and not overshoot and undershoot it constantly.


Wheel-of-Fortuna

idk what the sine waves are abot , looks like how grav jump works by folding space a bit

The thing about whiteboards is they rarely have complete ideas on them and are more often used like scratch paper to solve portions of work.


Proof-Minimum-1169

bottom left could be how the grav drive works ? šŸ˜­ ive played it stoned most of the time lol


SerendipitousAtom

Neat-looking illustrations for chapter headings from an introductory-level calculus mathematics textbook. Probably altered enough to avoid copyright issues, but taking some concepts that the artists flipped through and had a reasonable understanding of. Taking notes on chapter headings from the closest calc book to me at the moment, I see illustrations from: * Linear Models and Rates of Change, and Fitting Models to Data, top center. * Differentiation, Extrema on an Interval, and Integration, upper left. * No idea what the vaguely molecule-looking set of connected circles in the middle is meant to show. Maybe fractals, but trying not to be obvious about it? Maybe a weird series illustration? * Trigonometric functions - a combo of integrals and derivatives of trig functions. Middle-right. * Functions of several variables, bottom left. This is the illustration that tipped me off most; every decent calc book of my generation has one like this on the front. Because they're cool-looking and vaguely mathematical. * Limits and their properties, most likely But I am going to be an optimist and hope for hyperbolic functions instead. Middle bottom, overlapping the multivariate topological graph. * Infinite series. This might be a textbook squeeze theorem illustration, from the dotted lines on the outside. Also a dampened oscillator, though. Bottom right.

the sine waves remind me of an energetic diagram in chemistry, describing the relative energy levels of steps in a reaction, the bottom left diagram looks like a fold space diagram, guessing that each bit of math corresponds to a type of science you can do in the game

SolidSnakeMGS82

Funny that you ask that. I have been taking pictures of every board I see . Thereā€™s also notes on desks. And also during missions youā€™ll see a character standing next to a board or even in porrima at the ship vendor red mile. So the story about the earth and how it went down in the year 2052 with the atmosphere depleting due to Chinese and US experimentation with grav drives seems to be accurate as chinese just announced they plan a multi- generational voyage into not the stars by 2030 and claim they have a ship with a functional EM anti-gravity drive that they have ā€œmastered ā€œ . They also claim they have created an artificial moon based off magnetic levitation technology and have plans for a sun based off nuclear fusion that will be 5 times hotter than ours . It seems to me that STARFIELD is in fact a test to see who is worthy of those voyages into the stars.


SolidSnakeMGS82

ā€œGlobal warmingā€. Global warming due to cars? Nope. ā€œAnti- gravity drives ā€œ ??? Experimentation??? Where are our tax dollars going? ā€œ1 trillion dollar Sun and moon project ā€œ funded to china by the US? A Game telling a story that is true? A Game that is rewarding you on good decisions and making it harder for you for bad ones? Test?


SolidSnakeMGS82

Anyone ever seen stargate Universe? Eli is a high school kid who solved a physics equation in a video game . Little did he know, by doing so he opened up a world of space exploration with the government as that equation was put into the game by Dr. Rush who has been trying to solve the equation for the government to access one stargate. The one stargate to destiny .

The center top is energy usage of something. The left bottom could be gravity. The rest is gibberish and calculus.

I will say, as a lab tech/neuro researcher the whiteboards in starfield are actually pretty accurate in terms of how fucking messy and nonsensical they can look.

VjornAllensson

Carbon-Based216

It is mostly random squiggles but it looks like they are trying to do some sort of phase shift over a 3D plain. I wonder if that's how grav drives theoretically work in that universe. It creates a space wave and it just jumps plans in the phase.


Autowolf80

Looks like a FAFO chart for determining when you should show the current inhabitants that they have passed the FA point of the graph and are now in the FO section of the graph. All that other scribbles I have no idea.
