Banach Spaces Degree Panic

apparently it’s now common for undergraduate math majors to complete their degree without learning about Banach spaces...it’s really sad to see us losing our shared norms

A screenshot of a social media post jokes that undergraduate mathematics students are graduating without learning about Banach spaces. The punchline is the mathematical double meaning of “shared norms,” referring both to social standards and norms in functional analysis. It is used as a nerdy reaction to academic decline or declining shared knowledge.
