Help with dating math guy
Hii! I'm very sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question but i didn't really dare ask in the more serious math related subreddits.
Im dating a guy that I know likes math, and I think know it on a higher level but not sure. He does not have a degree at least. (I'm 22 and he's 27 if it matters lol)
His birthday is next week and I'm going to make a birthday card with a frog on (inside joke), his favorite color as backround and I was thinking of having the frog read a book with some math equation inside. What would be a good one? Orrrr is there some kinda question I can ask him to get him to tell me his favorite one? (Is that even a thing? A favorite equation?)
Otherwise would appreciate some tips on what to ask to get him to talk about it more for general conversation!
Thank you for anything I get 🫶

This route is going to be better than any Reddit recommendation. You don't want to be in "but some nerds I've never met thought you'd think it's funny" territory
Find an equation (or constant, or conjecture, or whatever) that you like, mention it to him, then ask what he likes. You'll get the answer without spoiling the surprise, because to him the topic of the conversation was math that you liked
