Another Pair of Pants

Some people just don't understand fashion. That would include me. Some people just don't understand topology. That would aslo include me.

Following up on yesterday's pants discussion, a pants decomposition of a surface is a collection of curves cycles that splits the surface into a set of pants patches. Don't you hate it when your pants split? The jokes could write themselves, but I think the mathematicians already did that for us deliberately.

I figured Cali would be a good student for modeling ripped jeans. And Moira would most likely appreciate them.

Bonus Comic

As you may know, I sometimes give the "official" answers to Calendar Math problems, and sometimes I do this by making a comic out the answer. I was able to present the answer for the January 5, 2022 puzzle. Since it isn't a standalone comic, but a straight explanation, I'm putting it here as a Bonus comic. The question is included.



I also write Fiction!
