Why do CS majors struggle with babby math?

lol out loud math is fucking trivial

>>57669376

it's so trivial that it was only discovered in 1957

Pay attention.

>>57669376
because im just in cs for the degree
im going to be a bus driver anyway

Why do people even need to go to school? If they were smart they could just know it all without learning.

tbqh my main issue is I havent done math some time, I ace'd calc 1 & 2, but I forget what all these symbols mean, the actual math after that is easy to me...

Anyone have good sources on just figuring out all the symbols? Serious. Each book / teacher seems to use a slightly different format.

Min cut max flow?

>>57672426
this so fucking much

>>57672426
bumping this

Math has an issue with its notation to more difficult problems clear. The notations are just not intuitive and just obscures what the problem is about. If they really wanted people to solve an issue like this instead of trying to solve the actual problem at hand they would include a drawing that visually shows what the problem is about.

I'm not sure why this cluster fuck of a notation even exists. It just feels like a random bunch of people adding more shit.

Example, the large E for summation should just be S or even SUM. Why the fck do they insist on using outdated greek characters?

>>57674025
Tradition. If the biggest complaint about notation that you have is greek letters, then that makes you overall statement very questionable.

Enjoy your codemonkey life. If you can't do math above calc 3 you're a shit programmer. Period.

>>57674025
I would say math has a notation problem no more than any generic programming language does. You have to learn what the symbols mean and the syntax of the equations in order to understand them.

>>57674025
The S is used for something else, and Sigma is more compact than SUM. Furthermore, it's been used for centuries and people that do math regularly get used to the notation pretty quickly.
You seem to not grasp how big math is.

Ah math, please fuck my self esteem to pieces until I can't do anything right.

>>57669376
Cause no one takes cs to learn cs. They just wanna program and be code monkeys so they can sit in front of a screen writing fisher price lego code with .net garbage or java. i.e. take existing code functions and libraries and piece together to make something your boss is happy with, company makes millions and you get the crumbs.

Sounds cozy, do I get a retirement plan and 401k out of it?

>>57674305
Rarely use advanced math like that for my job to be honest. I did get a load of crap about those edges notation theory etc, can't remember any of it though and think the last time I used set theory was when in uni. I did get some math and I do use some math though.

>>57674570
Most of the CS jobs are like that. Or just mind numbling stuff working with data all the time. Both will feel like kys tier after a few years though.

Thought only 35% of students even get a job related to the field of CS. So I guess a fair amount go into something like finances where the degree is not very useful.

>>57669376
Congrats on passing your class anon

Mommy's soo proud

"Haha /g/ I'm so smart i think this math is babby math haha i'm smart! love me /g/! aren't I cool! I'm smart!"
You're not smart and we can all tell you're not smart.

Does it hurt when instead of biting your bait, people nod and agree, or does that just make it funnier? Here, I'll try :

"IT ISN'T A LARGE E YOU DUMBFUCK. IT'S A SIGMA. THAT'S LITERALLY THE SAME AS A GOD DAMN S YOU SHITTY ISLAND NIGGER!!!"

Procedural programming languages have, for the most part, replaced standard mathematical notation. Even the average person can understand simple procedural implementations of a Fibonacci function in most programming languages. I implemented the Gregory-Leibnez formula in Fortran a while ago just for the hyucks, and it's objectively way easier to understand.

>>57674305
I'm a programmer, not a mathematician.

>>57669376
You see people building spaceships, you are awed and want to join.

You go for an engineering degree, but you are too lazy to put in the effort it takes for engineering. Or maybe you are too stupid.

So you switch to CS, and pretend.

>>57674866
My apologies to the smart and hardworking people who chose CS willingly. When I say "stupid and lazy", I refer to the other 98%.

Notation should use dead languages so there is no chance of changing times giving a different meaning to all the notations. It's the same reason biologists use Latin for species names.

If you are really complaining about the fact that you can't remember that sigma means sum, your trouble is not the notation.

it all comes back. good old theoretical computer science/algorithms, most useless and boring load of shit i ever had to sit through. congrats on getting the A OP.

You dumb cunts. It's obviously a sideways M.

R is the set of all possible combinations between every element in some set X (that's valid/legal) using some particular relation that you define R to be, where R is a subset of that set crossed with itself

for example:

If set A={1,2,3}
we can define R = {(1,1), (2,2), (3,3)}

in this case, we say (a,b) is in R, or aRb, if a=b
hence, in this case, R is a representation of equality in the set A

If you can't even pronounce maths correctly you're off to a bad start.

Numbers are hard.
