/g/ why are you so bad at math? Why do you think it's so

/g/ why are you so bad at math? Why do you think it's so useless because "muh programmers never need math" even your own lord and savoir RMS took Math 55 at Harvard.

math is gay dude

Mathematics aren't hard unless you are doing novel work, why don't you link us your thesis?

Otherwise its just grunt work of practicing abstract reasoning.

Most of it will be completely inapplicable to solving real problems, and a computer scientist that encounters a "real problem" will probably be able to approximate an almost optimal solution either from domain expertise or algebra.

I only have high school math and I'm doing just fine as a programmer :^)

Math is very easy to forget. I do quite a bit of linear algebra for work, but I'm almost certain I'd fail a calc1 exam.
>>
But I understand that just fine.

Measure theory ftw.

it just... feels... good.
>>
>>58398581
That's because linear algebra and calc are rather separable.
>>
Gonna in math after I transfer to an actual university, actually. Fuccin' love it. That said, I haven't self-studied much. I remember in 7th grade I taught myself up to elementary calculus, but I stopped after that and can't do much beyond the Chain Theorem

This topic is proof that /g/ is retarded lmao

I has a class similar to this in my senior year (Formal methods and Semantics).

>>58398556
This is pretty much on point. First order logic, Hoare logic, proving correctness (singular direction; not completeness) of a specification, algebraic specifications, etc, were interesting (if not draining), but don't serve me at work. It's good information to hold onto conceptually in the back of your head, but often isn't of much use.

I enjoyed my senior architecture and computer organization course more.

Why does it feel good to live in poverty? I don't get this.

I was el classico "gifted" student all the way through high school in math, but once I got to combinatorics/linear algebra it all went to shit. I get a headache just by looking at images like OP's

ans: either 0, infinite or i.
It's always 0, infinite or i.

>>58398522
Fuck lebesgue integral. Its one of the most useless shits ever.
>>
>>58398522
High level math is too bad, learning what the notation means is fucking tedious; how do you search google about functions, subscripts meaning and braces and that sort of shit?

Math is useless

In the same manner that Stroustrup invented C++ to give programmers a job and a feeling of unfulfillment for eternity, Cantor invented set theory for mathematicians.

Set theory is the C++ of mathematics: bloated, superficial, redundant.

>>58400800
holy shit somewhat went to all the trouble of formalizing that. did this actually pass peer review or is it all nonsense?

is this the power of weapons-grade autism?
>>
>>58401716
someone just typed it up in latex

>>58398522
Only people who don't know anything about math like it. Anyone with a proper upper level math heavy education would know
- that math sucks
- to avoid it whenever possible

>>58398522
Math is easy
what are you working on?

Anyone into mathbooks?

my favourite readings are

That is not really complex at all. I'll admit it may look scary if you are not familiar with integral calculus

It's the other way around dude, Indians have stupid good math for some reason
