Why the fuck is there so much obtuse terminology in the field of mathematics?

Every single fucking concept is given some name that is, at best, some dead guy who nobody fucking cares about, or at worst, misleading and entirely counterintuitive.

Why the fuck is this absurd academic circlejerk permitted in the current year?

All mathematical terminology should be revised from the ground up.

Don't even get me started on inconsistent and unintuitive notation.

Only incel neckbeards desperately clinging to their superiority complex will disagree with this.

mathematics is a very diverse field when put into application i guess

Nobody reply.

It's a very very old subject with lots of contributors from all over the world.

If you don't like it don't specialize in a field that uses it, especially since you're clearly too retarded to deal with more than one way to express a term

academia doesn't need you lad

math people don't shower have you seen them?

truth

like a lot of mathematical concepts are named after agricultural concepts because they came from agricultural backgrounds (germ, kernel, root... so on)

so what would you name them after, op? your animes? asuka's horned sphere? the heero yuy theorem?

I laughed at this post

I actually quite enjoy the agricultural terms used in mathematics

What the fuck this is disgusting

It's almost like the math terminology is all... imaginary! See what I did there? It's a pun. Nobody loves me...

I'm studying IT and my major issue is that a lot of the writers of this material don't seem to have the first clue at communicating models of how things work to people who don't already have the knowledge about the subject matter.

Maybe it's just a thing with technology that once you've mentally 'mastered' it, it's harder to even imagine what it was like to not understand - but it's very very frustrating trying to learn about IT at an average uni.

I like computer science because the names of algorithms and structures are based mostly in English and not Latin. Less namefagging theorems and principles. Turing machine, von Neumann architecture and Dijkstra's algorithm are some of the few exceptions. Everything else is easily associated with the theorem or algorithm. Bubble sort, binary search, quicksort, object-oriented design, agile, scrums, sprints, structures, classes, objects, etc.

Mathematic notation is unintuitive, but pretty efficient. That's why I printed out a table of math symbols and constantly use it for reference.

Greek letters suck. Leave that shit in Greece.
