Maths. There are at least a few of us though.
Bread baking might also be a contender, based on recent data.
I always liked making bread when I was younger, but I hadn't made any in about 10 years and tried a bread maker recently that someone gave us.
Why do I feel like it's so much harder to make in a bread maker. Just throwing it on a pan seems so much easier for me.
New things are hard? And not all bread makers are well designed imo (my biggest personal complaint was with one that wanted to be too compact).
Though take this with a grain of yeast, I have limited mechanized bread maker exposure as well.
What's your favourite bread recipe if you have one?
By far lion house rolls.
Hello, what branch of math are you specialized at? Algebra, Analysis, or Geometry?
Combinatorics! Especially algorithmic stuff.
Oh, is algorithmic complexity part of combinatorics, or am I missing the mark? I would love to hear more about the kind of combo you do!
Sometimes! Counting is combinatorics, occasionally counting the steps can be a quite interesting, combinatorial task. Other times combinatorics is about playing a game, like a rubix cube, and trying to find clever ways to win.
So, for me, lots of playing with abstract systems. Some code, some proofs, and a surprising amount of linear algebra.
Ohh, playing with abstract systems, sounds nice! Also who can forget linear algebra in any math >.>
