About me

Hi! I go by Lilly (she/her), and I am a high school student whose special interests include mathematics and philosophy. I mainly edit mathematics/philosophy articles, but I do edit other ones. I believe in universal access to education, which is 25% of my motivation to contribute here, and 75% is just giving back to Wikipedia after been helping me a ton.

Drafts

• Draft:Woo (pseudoscience) (declined)

To-do list

Edit the following pages:

1. Large Cardinal (need to fix its tone, but I don't know exactly how to)
2. Set-Theoretic Topology
3. The Historian's Craft
4. Philosophy of mathematics
5. Narrative history
6. Philosophy of history
7. Determinacy (especially the incomplete sections)
8. Polynomial ring (edit this section to give an example of K[X] breaking when K is not a field. I suppose we could use Quaternions for K as an example.)
9. Homeomorphism group (especially adding a short introduction to it)
10. Abstraction#In history (this is a pretty good candidate for adding info about how history is done or written)
11. Categorical topology
12. Frege: Philosophy of Language
13. Ground axiom
14. Uniformly connected space
15. Kant and the Platypus

(Might) create the following pages:

1. Time and narrative (book)
2. Decomposition (topology)
3. Philosophy of set theory
4. Analytic philosophy of history
5. History of general topology
6. User:PicoMath/The Rule of Metaphor

Interesting things/TIL (Today I Learned)

References to mathematical concepts may change via author; this part I did not learn today (certainly), but what I did learn today was that Kunen apparently uses the term $BST$ (for Basic Set Theory) for referring to a theory weaker than ZF. $BST^{-}$refers to BST without the Axiom of Foundation. It is only used as an ad-hoc theory by Kunen, however, as to motivate some "weak" finitistic theorems that usually hold on ZFC.
