K (189?–?) Soviet pioneer.
From Kazan, Tartarstan, USSR, K was diagnosed as a ‘transvestite’ in 1937.
She was given permission by the People’s Court to wear female clothing, her identity papers were changed to her female name, and her name was removed from the military recruitment rolls.
She was featured in a 1957 gynaecology textbook.

I remember being pretty good at linear algebra once, calculus never really stuck though. I vaguely remember it all like a dream but maybe if I could get some materials I've no real use for it but prob beats being a gamer
I read a book on topology and like 8 years later I was finally able to actually understood what I had read cause of real analysis and I only got that because of the 2 calculus courses and I got that cause I did a shit load of practice problems after lectures (this was a different degree lol). I remember after finishing the exam grinning cause I told myself I would eventually learn what the fuck I was reading almost a decade ago
Sweet nice on ya for understanding the stuff, back when I took it the class was a haze since I learned what the test wanted and moved on. Not the best way to learn but still, topology reading would probably turn math practice into something more real than just treating them like stand alone puzzles.
It turns out topology is just ultra analysis which is just mega calculus, oh there were fun shapes and moving and bending shapes but in terms of the homework or readings... it was all just advanced calculus that whole time
advanced calculus damn a level beyond calculus is trippy but guess my undergrad schooling had a limit on what course they taught us, furtherest I got was linear algebra
Found my old text book scans from that class and been trying to pierce together some old stuff I still have some notes but they aren't great ngl. Still you're right my brain muscles feel stronger
What are you into? If topology sounds fun, Bert Mendelson's Introduction to Topology is such a wonderful text. It's extremely dense but also the best written intro level text I've ever seen.
Honestly my thoughts exactly, I remember my final being just one question but it took me at least a couple of days to figure it out. I shared it with the rest of the class of 7 people and we all got it
