It's December 22nd, ♾️ National Mathematics Day in India. On this day in 1887, the brilliant mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan was born in Erode, Tamil Nadu. Ramanujan was responsible for advances in number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions, including solutions to mathematical problems until then considered unsolvable. Schools and universities throughout India celebrate his birthday now with math contests, games, demonstrations, and other educational events. In 2017, the day’s significance was enhanced by the opening of the Ramanujan Math Park in Kuppam, Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh. 
Ramunajan's genius was obvious from childhood. By the age of 12, he’d mastered trigonometry and developed many of his own theorems. Ramanujan’s peers at the time said they rarely understood him and stood in respectful awe of him, but his ideas were too novel for the leading mathematicians in India to be bothered with. 
In 1913, when Ramanujan was 25, British mathematician G.H. Hardy became enamored with his theorems and got him into Cambridge University. Ramanujan thrived in Britain and was soon elected to be a member of the London Mathematical Society. In 1918, at the age of 30, he became a Fellow of the Royal Society – one of the youngest persons to ever achieve this esteemed position. 
Ramanujan returned to India in 1919 because the food in Britain didn't agree with him. His health continued to deteriorate, and he died in 1920 at the tender age of 32. His achievements in mathematics, however, continue to live on and grow ever larger. His notebooks of unpublished material are a source of new ideas to this day. Of his thousands of theorems, all but a dozen or so have by now been proven correct. A century after his death, researchers are still discovering that mere comments in his writings about "simple properties" and "similar outputs" were themselves profound and subtle number theory results. 
It's no wonder that in 2012, former Prime Minister of India Manmohan Singh declared Ramanujan’s birthday as National Mathematics Day to be celebrated across the country. ☮️ R.I.P., Younger Brother of Rama… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Shakuntala Devi has a book on homosexuality! How the fuck did I not know this?
Excuse me you all. I grew up solving her puzzle books throughout my school days and 5-6 years of my adult life as a math major trying to understand and then later iterate that Shakuntala Devi’s math is much different from the math we do in college. SO basically she has been a part of my life in some way or the other. And now I discover after 15 years of knows her “closely” (not sure if I can claim that now) THAT SHE HAD WRITTEN A BOOK ON HOMOSEXUALITY BACK IN 1977. Yeah that is right, 1977 India. Shakuntala Devi. I’m amazed, not sure how to react, definitely going to read it. The preface looks promising.
Anybody else know this feeling? Discovering how people you have known, randomly or otherwise, somehow having a deep connection with the LGBTQ+ community!
For anyone interested, her book is titled, “The World of Homosexuals” and here is a link for a free copy of it to read - https://archive.org/details/kupdf.net_shakuntala-devi-world-of-homosexuals

does anyone have some evidence/sources for “newton didn’t discover anything, he read indian scientists”? when i google it i find some vaguely indian-nationalist sources talking about how indian scientists (either brahmagupta II or bhaskaracharya) had discovered gravity 1000 years earlier. it definitely seems to be the case that the mathematician brahmagupta wrote about earth having an attractive force that makes things fall down, but (1) did he mathematically model it? i thought that was one of newton’s big innovations, building on earlier european and islamic theories about gravity, and (2) did newton know about or read brahmagupta? people independently come up with the same ideas all the time, there’s enough credit to go around

Throughout history, women have left an undeniable impact on society with their hard work, creativity, and dedication to progress. Unfortunately, their accomplishments have often gone unnoticed, been undervalued, or even stolen. Despite these challenges, brave women of today continue to push boundaries, break barriers, and pave the way for a more fair and equal world. It's our duty to keep going, so that future generations of women can inherit a kinder, more just, and supportive world. By following in the footsteps of the incredible women who came before us, we can create a world where every woman can flourish and succeed, and where their contributions are recognized and celebrated.
Joan of Arc is a patron saint of France, honored as a defender of the French nation for her role in the siege of Orléans and her insistence on the coronation of Charles VII of France during the Hundred Years' War. Claiming to be acting under divine guidance, she became a military leader who transcended gender roles and gained recognition as a savior of France. She was put on trial by Bishop Pierre Cauchon on accusations of heresy, which included blaspheming by wearing men's clothes, acting upon visions that were demonic, and refusing to submit her words and deeds to the judgment of the church. She was declared guilty and burned at the stake on 30 May 1431, aged about nineteen.
Rani Lakshmibai was the Maharani consort of the princely state of Jhansi from 1843 to 1853. She was one of the leading figures in the Indian Rebellion of 1857 became a symbol of resistance to the British rule in India for Indian nationalists. When the Maharaja died in 1853, the British East India Company under Governor-General Lord Dalhousie refused to recognize the claim of his adpoted heir and annexed Jhansi under the Doctrine of Lapse. She rode into battle with her infant son strapped to her back, and died in June 1858 after being mortally wounded during the British counterattack at Gwalior.
Rosalind Franklin was a British chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose work was instrumental in the discovery of the structure of DNA. Her contributions were largely overlooked by her male colleagues, James Watson and Francis Crick, who used her data without her permission or acknowledgement. This theft of her intellectual property and erasure of her contributions is a prime example of the systemic sexism that has historically plagued the scientific community.
Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian-American actress and inventor who co-invented a frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology during World War II that was used to guide torpedoes. However, her contributions were largely ignored and dismissed by male engineers and the military at the time. It was only later in life that she received recognition for her scientific achievements.
Emma Weyant is an American competitive swimmer. She was the US national champion at the individual medley. She qualified for the 2020 Olympic Games in the 400m individual medley and won the silver medal in this event. Weyant finished second in the 500-yard freestyle at the 2022 NCAA Division I Women's Swimming and Diving Championships. She was beaten by William (Lia) Thomas, a fetishist, who when competing as a member of the Penn men's team, which was 2018-19, ranked 554th in the 200 freestyle, 65th in the 500 freestyle and 32nd in the 1650 freestyle. Weyant is the fastest swimmer in the 500-yard freestyle and had her position stolen by a man.
Maryna Viazovska is a Ukrainian mathematician who made a breakthrough in sphere packing, solving the centuries-old mathematical problem known as the densest packing of spheres in dimensions 8 and 24. She was awarded the Fields Medal in July 2022, making her the second woman (after Maryam Mirzakhani), the second person born in the Ukrainian SSR and the first with a degree from a Ukrainian university to ever receive it.
Hannie Schaft was a Dutch resistance fighter during World War II who played a crucial role in the resistance movement against Nazi occupation. Schaft was a former university student who dropped out because she refused to sign a pledge of loyalty to Germany. Nazis arrested and killed her in 1945, just three weeks before the war ended in Europe. According to lore, Schaft’s last words were, “I’m a better shot,” after initially only being wounded by her executioner.
Shakuntala Devi was an Indian mathematician and mental calculator who was known as the "Human Computer" for her exceptional ability to perform complex mathematical calculations in her head. Her extraordinary abilities earned her a place in the 1982 Guinness Book of Records. Her lesser known achievement is that in 1977 she wrote what is considered to be the first book in India on homosexuality titled “The World of Homosexuals.”  
J. K. Rowling is a British author and philanthropist. She wrote Harry Potter, a seven-volume children's fantasy series published from 1997 to 2007. Known for her philanthropy, she was doxxed and harassed after coming out with support for women's and gay rights in 2020. Rowling secretly donated hundreds of thousands of pounds to save 100 female lawyers and their families facing murder in Afghanistan. In 2022, she funded a women's only rape shelter in Edinburgh.

My Journey With Ayanamsa
It feels fitting that my first astrological post be a write up on one of my most profound astrological journeys. I started studying astrology avidly when I was in my teens, and soon discovered the magic of Vedic Astrology & Nakshatras .
Learning of the Nakshatras and the beauty of what they have to offer opened up a world of knowledge and patterns that feel almost criminal to be aware of. I mean, no amount of knowledge or spirituality can be a 'cheat code' to bypass enduring and navigating Earthly life, but it just shocks me the pure transparency of the cosmic patterns found applying Vedic astrology. I mean, Tropical astrology without Nakshatras was already magical to explore, but Nakshatras took the cake haha.
Tumblr media
I noticed very early on that Lahiri Ayanamsa didn't seem accurate, but at the time I didn't know about Ayanamsa and was driving myself utterly mad trying to understand why not only my own, but other charts I'd observed seemed to off by at least a couple of degrees.
I am someone who is born at the end of a Nakshatra. The more I delved into Nakshatras, the more it became clear that somehow, I belonged to the latter Lunar Mansion to the one that showed up in many calculations.
Everything about me (and others who had the same dilemma), down to my personality, upbringing, mannerisms, art, outfit choices and even my physical appearance aligned with the prospect of calculations being altered at least a couple of degrees.
A lot of people told me that maybe some people are just anomalies, I even started theorising that maybe some peoples' spirits didn't inhabit their body until a couple of hours after birth (lol), but that was me clutching at straws- also, the ascendant would change too much if were the case & it were a birth time issue.
Eventually I discovered Ayanamsa, and I realised, I wasn't crazy!
I learnt that Lahiri Ayanamsa was the most commonly used Nakshatra only because it was the one selected by the Indian government. They needed one consistent, passable Ayanamsa to settle confusions & standardize dates for various celebrations.
The Ayanamsa was created by a Mathematician with little knowledge of astrology. There was just an urgent need to pick at least one definitive calculation irrespective of whether it was necessarily the most accurate. I mean, I'm sure they would've wanted it to be accurate too, but that wasn't the main goal.
I am quoting renowned Vedic astrologer, Ernst Wilhelm on this- but even NC Lahiri- the creator of Lahiri later admitted his own calculation was flawed, and noted that if he could go back in time he would have altered the Ayanamsa by a few degrees.
Before Lahiri Ayanamsa, the most commonly followed Ayanamsa were Revati based ayanamsas (True Revati, Usha/Shashi, Hipparchus, Sassanian).
Ernst Wilhelm devoted extensive time, observation, testing and intuitive understanding to cleverly creating his own Ayanamsa which ever since I discovered it, makes a world of sense to me. So many things in both my own chart & others' just clicked. There were a lot of inconsistencies I used to explain away by being like 'hmm it must be their d9' or 'huh, I guess their other placements are just stronger than that one'. I found that a lot of these things that didn't quite make sense were naturally rectified by using Ernst's Ayanamsa.
Before finding Ernst Wilhelm's Dhruva Galactic Center (I can thank @makingspiritualityreal for my stumbling across it on tumblr, thankyou for sharing your knowledge lovely!! ♡), I used Raman Ayanamsa. I wasn't certain it was the absolute best one, but it did seem to rectify a lot of the issues I was coming across- however there were many instances where I would for example; see and feel the influence of a transit a little bit before it occurred even using Raman calculations. So, I did suspect the degrees should be a little further forward, and Dhruva Galactic Center perfectly aligns with that.
The intuitive line of thought behind Wilhelm's Ayanamsa is also awesome! The concept that the 'correct' Ayanamsa would be based on the Galactic Center- the heart of our galaxy- which lies in the very middle of Mula, 'the root' 'the truth'... it just makes too much sense!
Since Ernst Wilhelm's Ayanamsa is only accessible through his Kala astrology software, I've been using Usha/Shashi Ayanamsa on Astroseek since it is ever so slightly different, but almost the same in value to Dhruva Galactic Center. EDIT: @bdandelion informed me that there actually is an Astroseek Ayanamsa called 'Galactic Center Mid-Mula' that is essentially the same as Ernst Wilhelm's Ayanamsa! I'm not sure how I missed this, I think I just got confused haha, but how exciting!!
I am and always will keep an open mind when it comes to Ayanamsa and all astrological things; if I closed off my perception because one guy said one thing, I would not know even half of the things I know, but for now, that is my story/journey with Ayanamsa :)
I'm so grateful to know what I know, because I spent a good year of my life (when I should've been focusing in school among other things, lol) frantically trying to understand why the astrology I loved didn't seem to make mathematical sense, why some people and placements weren't fitting. To me, this has been a big test of my faith in my own intuition. I knew something was up, and I did think I was going mad for a while, but I followed that trail and found a wealth of knowledge I am blessed to have.
To be clear, I have no desire to force other people to follow the same calculation- I understand it would also be jarring for people. It would shift quite a lot of things for some people and all, but for what it's worth, I think part of being a good astrologer is keeping that open mind and heart to potential new information. Like with science- keep an open mind, entertain every idea, and don't fully latch onto something until you have sufficient reason to believe it!
Peace and love my guys! ♡

Pythagoras, circa 570-495 BC:
"In the sacred geometry of existence, the right angle is the corner stone upon which the universe is constructed. It is the meeting point of the material and the divine, where the earthly and celestial realms align."
Hermetic Wisdom, "The Emerald Tablet," attributed to Hermes Trismegistus:
"As above, so below, and in the sacred right angle, the secrets of the cosmos are unveiled. Seek the perfection of this angle, and you shall find the key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe."
Albrecht Dürer, Renaissance Artist and Geometer:
"The right angle is the gateway to the harmony of proportions. In its symmetry lies the perfection of God's design, mirrored in the beauty of art and architecture."
Rosicrucian Manuscripts, 17th Century:
"The right angle, the symbol of divine balance, holds the power to transmute base matter into spiritual gold. It is the cornerstone of alchemical transformation."
René Descartes, 17th Century Philosopher and Mathematician:
"Cogito, ergo sum, yet the right angle, esse est percipi—To be, is to be perceived, and in the right angle's existence, it is perceived as the foundation of mathematical truths."
The Golden Dawn, 19th-20th Century Occult Order:
"Within the pentagram, the right angle represents the element Earth, grounding and stabilizing our spiritual endeavors. It is the symbol of earthly wisdom."
Aleister Crowley, Occultist and Magickian:
"In the Book of the Law, it is written: 'Let there be no difference made among you between any one thing and any other thing; for thereby there cometh hurt.' The right angle signifies the unity of all things, where distinctions dissolve."
Vedic Wisdom, Ancient Indian Texts:
"In the sacred geometry of Vastu Shastra, the right angle known as 'Vedha' is the cornerstone of architectural harmony. It guides the construction of sacred spaces in alignment with cosmic energies."
Chinese Feng Shui Tradition:
"The right angle, like the gentle curve of the dragon's spine, brings balance and harmony to the flow of qi. It is the foundation of auspicious space design."
Islamic Geometric Art:
"In the intricate patterns of Islamic art, the right angle symbolizes the intersection of the finite with the infinite, creating mesmerizing tessellations that reflect the perfection of the Divine."

Hello! I hope your having a nice day. I wanted to ask for Sai Nanami with a crush on reader in the stone world? If that's cool with you.
Thank you in advance!
Dr.Stone Sai Nanami with a crush on reader in the Stone World
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A/N: I stared at a photo of Sai for a very long time to get an idea of how to write this lmao, it’s kinda long because I wanted to include everything I could. I am by no means someone who understands code or programming, so writing this got my google searches looking like a child who first heard of the word “code” (While writing this I realised I got carried away…) 
Genre: Fluff
GN! Reader
Tumblr media
You’re one of the statues that Tsukasa revived, and became a part of the kingdom of science after the whole battle.
Back in the old world, your profession had something to do with technology, so you were very familiar with the world of programming. 
You joined Senku’s team in globe throttling, and off to maths city, India, you go!
When Ryusui mentioned a guy named Sai, you were intrigued
I mean, a genius mathematician who Ryusui claims to be a million times better than the average person? You naturally wanted to meet such a guy.
When you reached the place and dug out a statue of a guy whose hands were outstretched in many directions.
“That’s the million times smarter genius Sai?!” “He looks… Half-Indian,Half-Japanese?” “Great, another baaad pretty boy. Gotta say, I’m not a fan” your companions say, looking at the statue. “I wonder what he’s like?” Suika asked, to which Gen responded with, “A math genius could go one of a few ways…” painting the image of an over the top strict professor image and a socially awkward kid curled up and hugging their knees. 
“I wonder which one…” you mutter. They poured the revival fluid on him after dressing him up. And out from the stone comes a man with dark curls and with petrification marks covering his hands. “What’s… going on?!” The man named Sai questions, getting used to his surroundings. “Could it really be?! Did you people save me?! I can’t thank you enough…” he exclaims, a confused but thankful look on his face. 
He looked to his side and saw Ryusui with a stupidly happy look on his face. “PEEGYAAAAH!” Sai screams, running away, shocking everyone. “HA HA! Running at the sight of me? Show some tact! Catch him!” Ryusui laughingly orders, making Kohaku catch up to Sai and tackle him to the ground. 
“What in the world is happening?” You asked Senku, “heh, no idea.” he answered. “No, No, NO! I fled all the way to India, and it wasn’t far enough! I refuse to return to Nanami corp.!, Well, that’s as long as you’re involved!” Sai exclaimed, “Ah, I kinda have an idea…” you say, making Senku look at you and then towards Ryusui. “His full name is… SAI NANAMI!” Ryusui announced. “On your feet! We’re teaming up with that million times brainpower of yours!” Ryusui points. “Ryusui…is…my little brother!” Sai explained, pointing towards the blonde, shocking everyone.
After a whole explanation, Sai insists that he isn’t a genius that Ryusui points him out to be. “Um, that’s weird! So you’re not some freaky genius?!” Chelsea asked, scaring Sai. “Exactly! It’s a lie!” He answered. “How hilarious! Still glad to have you as a regular ol’ pal!” She replied, “Th-That’s good enough for you?” Sai asked, in awe. “Of course! Anyone is welcome!” You answered, making Sai look at you and it was at that moment, he thought it was love at first sight. “O-oh uhh t-thanks…” he mumbled bashfully. “HA HA! Don’t bet on it!” Ryusui appeared, ruining the mood and explained everything. 
“Mental Math is pointless!!” Sai exclaimed. “A computer could do the same calculation in an instant! And given enough time, anyone in the world could perform ten digit multiplication like me.” he added, making everyone question themselves. “T-ten digit…?!” you asked, shocked, making Sai blush. 
“I’m a programmer!!” he announced, catching your attention. “They all wanted to put me to work. So I left Nanami corp, and Ryusui… And fled all the way to a university in India!” Sai explained. “All I want…Is to code!” He states, looking happily at the sky, hands stretched as if typing on a keyboard. The look of sadness painted his eyes as he realised that he lost the one thing he loved the most. “I understand the feeling…” you mutter, suddenly missing your own gadgets. Sai asked how long will it take for a proper computer, to which Senku answered five to ten years, making you sad as well. “Why did you even revive a guy like me…” Sai sulked. You wanted to comfort him, but decided to give him some time alone for now to take in everything. 
Your group talked about how to go with the whole calculating the trajectory, and a few suggestions were given here and there, but nothing was set. Francios appeared, and was concerned because apparently Sai hasn’t touched his lunch yet even though it's dinner time. You all went to his room, peeking inside, you were shocked to see his walls filled with writings, to which you recognize as machine code. Your eyes lit up in awe.
Sai then sensed your presence, causing him to panic. “You see, I was thinking… Even if this world lacks computers, what I can do in the meantime is jot down some code for later.” Sai explained. “No one can really read any of this stuff. So this is “programming”?” Senku asked. 
“This is code for Dragon Quest!” you exclaimed, unable to keep your excitement at bay, shocking both Sai and Senku. “H-how’d you know..?” Sai asked shyly. “I’m also a programmer! Well, kind of… I worked in the field of technology back in the old world, so I’m very familiar with this stuff.” You explained, giving him a smile, causing blood to rush to his cheeks. 
It has been decided then and there that with Sai and your expertise, the stone world can make an old version of a computer. And in Sai’s eyes, that meant teaming up with you and spending more time with you. 
You and Sai asked how the computer was going to be made, to which Senku did a whole demonstration with flags. “Ooh, it's a simple Half-Adder!” you exclaimed, “easy enough to create with just a Xor gate and an And gate” Sai continued, confusing both Kohaku and Gen. Sai pointed out that the set up was pointless unless it was happening fast and electronically, which you agreed. To which Senku explained the more in-depth way. 
“How’re you feeling? Pretty overwhelming, isn’t it.” You asked Sai, who was staring in awe at the workers. “Uh… yeah… very much, is it always like this?” He asked, “Oh trust me, it was worse before.” you answered, along with a chuckle remembering when Ukyo, Taiju, Yuzuriha and Nikki first showed you the phone. 
“I haven’t properly introduced myself, haven’t I? I’m Y/N L/N. I used to work for tech companies in the past.” You introduced, offering an outstretched hand to the male. “Oh… Sai Nanami, programmer and a maths teacher at that university that Ryusui mentioned.” he answered, shaking your hand with a blushing face. “Looks like we’ll both be working with each other closely, I look forward to it!” You smiled, making his heart race. ‘Sai this is not the right time to fall in love! But… they’re so cute and kind and…’ Sai’s inner thoughts were interrupted when you called for him. The Adder circuit was finished, and Sai tinkered with it. You can definitely see the hope in his eyes return, the idea of a computer in this stone world wasn’t just a distant dream anymore.  
The more time you spent with Sai, the more you saw his love for programming, he’d ramble on and on about it for hours on end, and you’d listen to his ramblings. 
That means that the more time you spent with Sai, the more he developed his crush on you
I mean, no one else could understand him (literally) only you and maybe even Senku knows what he’s talking about, but Senku is always busy with science. 
You helped Sai make the circuit diagram that you both presented to the group, 
When Dr.Xeno instructed the making of fax machines, you saw his face light up with the idea of the stone world slowly reaching the modern era, and another step closer to his computer dream.
When Ryusui announced that the voyage must continue and to leave the work to corn city, Sai was conflicted. He didn’t want to join the voyage because Ryusui was there, but he also didn’t want to leave you now that his feelings are growing. “On that note, our brief time together ends. I’ll remain here in India to toil away on circuit diagrams which I'll fax to you once I can…” Sai says, “ehh? You won’t come with us?” you ask, Sai noticing the sadness in your voice, making his resolve weaken. “Get outta here. No, Literally, you’re coming with us, Sai! We’re shipping out together!” Ryusui exclaims. 
Chelsea was confused and so were you. “We’ll probably need his math skills at each location we visit!” Ryusui explains. “NUH UH! Not going! Certainly not with you, Ryusui!” Sai shouts. It was evident that he didn’t want anything to do with his brother, but it made you sad that you’ll be leaving him when you’ve been enjoying your time with him. “Not even sad about leaving Y/N?” Ryusui whispers to Sai, causing the older male’s face to be painted red and stuttering excuses, making the younger smirk. 
As night time fell, the fax machine started operating, and a photo of the people at corn city came out. “A group pic!” Chelsea exclaimed. “To mark the occasion? It looks like everyone joined the fun from both team Japan and team U.S.A” Gen says. You look towards Sai, when you notice the solemn look on the two brothers. 
You walked towards his room, determined to get to the bottom of it. You knock on his door, a small “come in” answers you.  “Hey, Sai… you good?” You ask, walking into his room. “Oh… uhh…” he started panicking when he realised it was you. “Uhh yeah…” he mutters. “You can tell me if something is bothering you, you know?” you offer. He looked at you with wide eyes and pink cheeks. ‘Damn it Sai! Get yourself together… why do they look good like this… wait, not the time!’ he slapped his cheeks to get the thoughts in order. 
“It just reminded me of the Nanami corp. Group photos.” Sai said, looking down. “Ryusui and I were the only ones not born to the matriarch of the Nanami family.” He explained, shocking you. “That explains why you and Ryusui look different from each other, and explains why you look half indian…” you say, immediately realising and then apologising. “Oh my! I’m sorry I didn’t mean it that way, it's just…” You panic, shocking Sai but he chuckles. “Don’t worry, I understand the confusion.” he reassures you, as you let out a sigh of relief. 
He explains how he and Ryusui were growing up, and how his family and Ryusui only wanted his skills in math and all of that. “That story is so stirring…” you say, “how so? Ryu is nothing but selfish. He uses people…” Sai exclaims. “You know, Sai… from what I understand. Ryusui just wanted to spend time with his older brother, you.” You say, taking hold of one of his hands. “Isn’t he a man of desires? He desires everything, including a brother that he can relate to. You said you both were the only ones left out, yeah?” you ask, he nods. “It seems he just wanted to create a bond with the only brother he has that understands him in that sense. Y’all only got each other, you know.” You added, Sai looked like he was understanding your words. 
“Tell me, did he ever order you to do these things?” you finished, and looked at him, he looked up with a look of understanding. “Thank you…” He muttered. You decided to let him have some alone time to think, “I’ll get going now, give you some alone time. If you ever need someone to talk to, I’ll be here for you, Sai.” you say with a smile and left his room. As soon as the door closed, he stared at his hand and exploded. ‘Oh my god they held my hand, oh my god they held my hand, oh my godddddd my heart is going to explode, good thing I was able to keep up the face because i was about to just sit here and die in front of themmm’ he thought, hands to his face hiding his red grinning face. 
‘They’re hands felt good holding mine, not soft, but that just shows how much they’ve been through to get where they are now, oh god i am falling hard… but, what they said about Ryusui… maybe he’s not as bad as i thought he was… maybe i can finally tolerate him enough to be okay with joining the voyage… and spend more time with them…wait, no! That’s not the goal here!!’ he panicked again. 
“HA HA! Sai! We’ve got some time before we part ways! Whip my skills into shape, won't you?! Let’s play chess together!” Ryusui barged in, shocking the older male. “Like I keep saying…No! Thank!...” he stopped his words when he remembered what you said. “Sure. Let’s play” he answered.
They had a brotherly talk, which made Sai sure with his decision of joining the crew’s voyage, and also fixing his family issues with Ryusui. “Sooo, I saw Y/N leave your room” Ryusui teased, earning a beet red and stuttering mess of an older brother spouting excuses. 
You were happy to find out that Sai was joining your voyage, the thought of leaving him in India made you sad, so to have him with you guys made you more excited to set sail. 
During the voyage, you all were busy working on the components of the computer, luckily for Sai, his work ties closely with yours so you two still got to spend a lot of time together.
Ryusui would often sweep in and throw in a teasing remark towards Sai, causing him to blush or stutter. 
The day the calculator was acquired, you could see how happy Sai looked, even during the mathlympics when he was just coding. You were impressed that he was able to code and confirm the answer to the problem very easily. 
You were also there as moral support from when Sai was teaching Suika and Chrome math, making your head hurt from all the numbers. But Sai liked how you were invested too, it was like he was able to show off to you. 
And when the computer was delivered, you and Sai were both in tears.
“We’ve got a boat scheduled to arrive today from North America to Japan! And Sai…It’s a delivery you’ve been dying for!” Ryusui announced, The ship docked and everyone was excited. Senku explained the specifications of the computer, to which Sai says that it’s on par with the NES. All the parts have been moved and assembled in the computer room, and now you and Sai were in your element, making punch cards. 
“Oh how I missed this!” you exclaimed, feeding a program Sai made to the computer, revealing a tetris like game. You both started making more cards to feed into the program, both totally in your element. When everyone retired for the day, you and Sai stayed in the computer room, still enjoying the computer and each other’s company in silence. 
And who knows, maybe the next program Sai makes is a game where he’ll let only you play, and confess his growing feelings for you that way. Because it was love at first sight, but it was also love that grew as you both got to share the one thing you both love.
But as far as he’s concerned, only you can surpass his love for programming and coding.

I appreciate your info dump on linear algebra, what do you have on combinatorics
theres this indian mathematician called Rajat Hazra who was featured in an Indian Express article for computing the expected time needed until a monkey with a typewrite would write COVFEFE in 2017, when that weird donald trump tweet came out. its the time the monkey needs to type 26^7 symbols, but not for the reason you might think (the word ABRACADABRA has an expected time of 26 + 26^4 + 26^11 symbols).
iirc, its because you can combinatorically prove that this expected time is the same as the value at a certain stopping time of a certain martingale process (probabilistic process where you expect a_{n+1} to be equal to a_n on average, no matter the value of a_n).
the martingale was as follows: suppose you have a random letter generator. every round, a person shows up to the table with 1 indian rupee, and they bet all their money on a letter. if theyre correct, they get their money back multiplied by 26. if not, they lose the money and leave. if theyre still there next round, they again bet everything they have. the process stops if the word ABRACADABRA is spelled. you can compute for yourself that at the end of the process, there must be 11 people at the table (given that everyone plays a perfect strategy) with 26^11 rupees, 4 with 26^4 rupees and one with 26 rupees.
