Description
Cheerilee gets a special message.Kudos if you get the math bit, though haven't done any predicate logic in about two years so help me out if I've gotten something wrong.
Wasn't planning on doing a comic today.
Happy Valentine's Day, to those of you to which the greeting still applies! (And everyone else too because why leave anyone out.)

Well... That's some assignment you've written there, Diamond Tiara.
Very intelligent comic, including Diamond Tiara's struggle.

What does that paper written by Diamond Tiara say?

The title is 'My Struggle' which was used by another author...

VOLUME I: A RETROSPECT CHAPTER I IN THE HOME OF MY PARENTS It has turned out fortunate for me to-day that destiny appointed Braunau-on-the-Inn to be my birthplace. For that little town is situated just on the frontier between those two States the reunion of which seems, at least to us of the younger generation, a task to which we should devote our lives and in the pursuit of which every possible means should be employed. German-Austria must be restored to the great German Motherland. And not indeed on any grounds of economic calculation whatsoever. No, no. Even if the union were a matter of economic indifference, and even if it were to be disadvantageous from the economic standpoint, still it ought to take place. People of the same blood should be in the same REICH. The German people will have no right to engage in a colonial policy until they shall have brought all their children together in the one State. When the territory of the REICH embraces all the Germans and finds itself unable to assure them a livelihood, only then can the moral right arise, from the need of the people to acquire foreign territory. The plough is then the sword; and the tears of war will produce the daily bread for the generations to come. And so this little frontier town appeared to me as the symbol of a great task. But in another regard also it points to a lesson that is applicable to our day. Over a hundred years ago this sequestered spot was the scene of a tragic calamity which affected the whole German nation and will be remembered for ever, at least in the annals of German history. At the time of our Fatherland's deepest humiliation a bookseller, Johannes Palm, uncompromising nationalist and enemy of the French, was put to death here because he had the misfortune to have loved Germany well. He obstinately refused to disclose the names of his associates, or rather the principals who were chiefly responsible for the affair. Just as it happened with Leo Schlageter. The former, like the latter, was denounced to the French by a Government agent. It was a director of police from Augsburg who won an ignoble renown on that occasion and set the example which was to be copied at a later date by the neo-German officials of the REICH under Herr Severing's regime.

If I recall correctly those statements loosely means:
For everypony there is another pony to love them.

That's some whacked out math at the board right there

The predicate logic looks good to me.
I also like the "Diamond Tiara is Hitler" bit, even if it did force me to spend a bit of time looking for the English text of Mein Kampf to check I was inferring correctly, since I certainly don't know off the top of my head how it starts (or middles, or ends). And the table of contents went on forever!

Well, I spent more time trying to understand the maths written in the blackboard and the letter, than actually reading the comic.
By the way, why do you know predicate logic? I mean, what career are you pursuing, exactly?

Same deal as Yoshermon. Had to take it as part of the math portion of a CS program.
Nearly through with a degree, though I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do afterwards.

I don't know about DimFann, but I learned it as part of my college's Computer Science program, along with Boolean Algebra and other discrete mathematics. I'm not far enough into the program to know how it's actually applied in the real world (outside of proofs for hardcore mathematicians), though.

taking into account what is written on the blackboard and on the letter:
the letter is really cute
elementary school in equestria is pretty fuckin hard

The chalkboard....
It was all I could stare at

Awwww. 
The math looks fine to me, too, except for the \{ Ponies \} = D_p bit. I'd write that as D_p = \{ x | P(x) \} with a predicate P such that P(x) means "x is a pony" -- unless your set-theoretic universe only contains ponies to begin with. Oh yeah, and you should probably stick to using either D or D_p. But that's all.
What the HECK did Diamond Tiara write in that letter, BTW? o_O She may be a bad apple, but she's not nearly that bad.

The best part about that comic is that Diamond Tiara wrote an essay entitled "My Struggle".
/What you did there, I sees it.

Her face in the second frame just tickles me pink for some reason. Very nice, and very cute. I hope your Valentine's Day was fun!

Maths! Neat! The "Dp" set had me confused at first though.

The predicate math checks out. I started trying to work it out on my own before I realized the answers were all on the blackboard behind her <_<

I'm glad you actually explained that it was a math rrference, because otherwise I would never have understood it. Never was that great at math, myself. Also, great reference to "Applebuck Season"!

Would have been cool if they had the equation for a cardiod on the front.
