Angry mathematicians are dense in /r/math when one naive poster makes the mistake of asking for good applied mathematics papers.

22  2017-08-20 by codosotopo

The original post (found here) features a soon-to-be graduating mathematician asking for the best papers on applied mathematics. The idea is that when he graduates, papers that he would normally be able to access through his university suddenly become locked behind paywalls, which sucks if you want to do math.

Of course, instead of actually giving him some good papers, the fine denizens of /r/math decide to bitch about copyright.

Fun subthreads:

The whole thread is ridiculously idiotic in a fun way, and while slightly political, it has nothing to do with Drumpf/Nazi/Antifa drama.

I still don't understand why papers written in any state funded institution should be pay-walled. Blessed be the authors who put their work on their sites. And pirates.

trying to defend the practices of the academic journal industry is a good way to out yourself as literally retarded

It's fucking maths fucking burgers. I get that it's difficult to say that extra letter and all but you fat fucks already have little cars to shopping in, surely you can squeeze enough millilitres of blood past the Big Mac buildup in your arteries to get out the extra syllable.
