Gab's Hideout

Hello/Kumusta/Hallo!

I am Gab, a freshman studying mathematics in university. I also play chess and other board games. I mainly speak Tagalog and English, and am currently learning German as my third language. I usually write in whatever language I feel like. Yeah, as you can see from the picture, I am a very shy person in real life 😬

Here's some stuff you might enjoy:

"Fields" of Interest (definitely no pun intended if u got it)

Mathematics

Mathematics is a misunderstood discipline; "schools" do a disservice to this wonderful field of knowledge. Here you can see me talk about math itself in Functor Network, but I'm not as active there. Oh by the way, here's a short puzzle for you:

A fun little bridge problem

Back in the olden days, the people in a certain city in were bored. So they decided to come up with a little problem to amuse themselves.

In the city, there once flowed a river with two islands in the middle. These islands were connected by seven bridges, as shown below:

Now, the question is, can one find a route such that all seven bridges are crossed, and each bridge is crossed only once. But the cityfolk weren't able to find a satisfying solution. But perhaps you could solve it?

You can find the solution here in case you couldn't.

I really should make an interactive version of the puzzle soon.

So that Was Second Sem...

After all...finally...I survived my first year in university! Woohoo! I learned a lot of stuff, mainly in physics and mathematics.

The Physics Experience

Speaking of physics...my instructor was the best! I can hear her enthusiasm while teaching. We also had discussion quizzes,.. Read more

Short Notes

Who tf decided that $f(X)$ is good notation for the image $A$ under $f$??. I lost like six points in an exam since I thought it meant the set $X$ inside $f$!!

German Language Zone

Ja, ich kann nur schlechtes Deutsch. Beim lesen bin ich in B1-Niveau. Aber es gibt viele Wörter, die ich nicht erkennen kann. Und frag bloß nicht nach meinen Sprachkenntnissen!

Sprichwort für diesen Monat:

Steter Tropfen höhlt den Stein

Here I will mainly write in German.

25 Aug 2026 I posted my new article in Functor Network about sequences. Will transfer it to Neocities if I have time.
