>At calculus level right now because I dropped out of highschool when I was sophomore.
I guess it's better than not even knowing how to do division properly, I'm surprise I like learning it more than programming.

I still don't understand calculus, I've failed several calc classes through highschool and college. But I made it to several parts of Serious math.

We completed metric spaces and group theory in our classes this year.

>>36739603
My last required math course covered things just before serious math.

got up to homeomorphisms and now i hate math

>>36739603
Math is for autist.

While everyone should get into serious math at some point in their life, things that involve math are much more interesting and useful.

Engineering, economy, business, to name a few.

I'm a problem solver, an ISTP, not a mathematician though.

Ive pretty much forgotten everything I learned in school. Feels Bad.

Sounds like your reading comprehension is fucked anon.

Hoping to understand Fermat's Last Theorem, but I'm only at serious math.

>multivariable calculus and diff eq
>4-D calculus is easier than linear transformations
What retard made this?
>boolean algebra
>serious math
It's literally 1's and 0's

>>36740194
It's to be expected if you don't keep it fresh. I remember Ted Kaczynski said he forgot most of the math he learned in his life and he has something like a 175 IQ.

>>36740330

seriously? fermat's last theorem isn't difficult to understand?? unless you're trying to understand the proof

Just got a B.S. in Math last week, I took functional analysis which covers banach and Hilbert spaces, took algebraic number theory as well as algebraic structures, took real analysis and complex analysis. Of everything however, non discrete combinatorics, i.e. Infinitary combinatorics, was my favorite. Gonna take the GRE and try to get into a good grad school now

>>36740417

i'm getting my bs in math because it's BULLSHIT

>>36739603
IUTT is definitely the hardest simply because only a literal handful of mathematicians understand it fully.

I never even passed Algebra 1 or Geometry

>>36739603
this was clearly made by someone who was at or around "topology" and bullshitted what was above him

>unless Grothendieck was making memes from the Pyrenees

>>36739603
Why is boolean algebra down so far? Why is laplace so much further down than diff eqs? A lot of this doesnt make sense

>>36740537

i just realized everything past a certain point is either related to topology or is some big name problem

bachelors in applied math

realized academia is a meme

And my math education is unlikely to ever go higher

>>36740677
I was a slow learner and had bad teachers. Like every parent I ever heard talk about them complained that they were bad teachers. Didn't help that I didn't give a shit either

fuck math

I'm an engineer and I just meme math most of the time. Never used anything past clac II lmao

>>36740656
No but I will make more money than you straight out of uni with a comfy internship at a company while your autistic ass is drowning in debt for a useless pure math degree.

>>36739603
I wish I was good at math. INB4 "you just have to practice", you cant practice something that bores you to death. Anyways, I am somewhere around the matrices/complex numbers/logarithms level. Truly brainlet tier.

>>36739603
to be honest the highest i remember is the fundamental theorem of calculus and I don't remember a whole lot of other shit. I had my first psychotic episode my senior year of highschool and just wrote gibberish on calc tests. Eventually they just gifted me some credits to get my creepy ass out of the place for the rest of the year lol.

I've tested at genius iq in a legitimate iq test but I am fucking awful at math

>>36739603
For 2 years, I was a pure math PhD student at one of the top departments in the US, where I studied several of the topics past the """""Genius"""" Level gap and also some others which the creator of this image presumably hadn't heard of. The metaphor of a trench is quite apt, as after you pass a certain point, it's quite easy to fall down the rabbit hole, and start to wonder what it was about the subject that you found attractive in the first place.

Also, it's ludicrous to single out Cohomology and Symplectic Geometry as being on another level from the rest of the advanced undergraduate curriculum.

Math major in second year here, I've completed everything up through the serious math gap, and I'm starting to spill over into group theory and cryptography.


If you aren't good at math, you should be shot.

how old is too old

also are appliedfags really brainlets

>>36741053
too old for what?

and no, some applied mathematicians are very smart, although there is a lot of garbage in the field

i never learned how to divide or multiply without a calculator

>>36741022
you sound like a giant fucking cornball and are probably lying. "The metaphor is apt" dude what the hell are you even from earth?

Oh wow, that is pretty sad. Hope your life gets better friendo.

>>36741265
Yeah, it's too late. Kys my dude.

Failed elementary algebra once, falied intermediate algebra once and failed college algebra once. But eventually I made it thru all 3 with heavy hand holding. Math is the sole reason I'm still stuck in community college for 3 years and have no associates.

>>36739603
Aside from vectors being way too low, it's kind of legit.
All of what I've studied gets a little old in my mind, but I remember at one point having no issues with some fractals constructions. The really simple ones, like Mandelbrot.
Aside from that, I'd say tensors, as I've studied them for engineering.

>>36739603
Not approached serious math. Did partial differentials. Will do fourier some time

>>36743699
>So r9k, how fucked am I?

Not at all. I know you want to engage in some self-destructive conversation, but really you have a lot of options. The only person holding you back is yourself.

Go on Khan Academy and start learning maths from the start. When you get up to algebra or calculus, invest in a text-book and you'll be golden.

I had a similar situation to you and I fixed it.

>>36743699
I'm in the same boat (pulled out of school at grade 6 and was "homeschooled") and only recently started getting back into it. Thankfully math is one of those things you can pick up and just start learning easily online these days.

I was never good at math in school because I didn't care, but if you actually want to learn it you pick it up pretty fast.

>>36739603
elementary algebra sadly

>>36739603

Deepest I have gotten with a clear and thorough understanding is boolean algebra, but I have studied things up through the P=NP problem.

Here's a protip though, P =/= NP

>>36741124
But that is a metaphor and apt is an rven shorter word than fitting or suitable...

Not sure whybyou found is response forced.

One upside of my retail job is now I can do pretty much any addition of numbers up to about 6 digits in my head. That's actually really big for me as I used to be totally shit at even basic mental math.

Calculus is where I stopped academically. I pretty much tanked my last few maths classes in high school. Shit ain't for me.

>>36739603
>TFW just starting logarithms.

I dropped out in 10th grade. But I did do khan academy up to trig. But I forget most of it.

I tried learning calculus from a textbook when I was 15 but it was hell. They don't explain anything correctly, and make the assumption that you have a teacher utilizing it. Better to just chip 300 bucks into a community college class

I'm proud that I never took a math higher than algebra 2. Fuck stem garbage, absolutely useless to any non-autist outside the field.

I'm 25 and just got to multivariable calculus. I'm taking it way too slow because i'm studying on my own,dont have to study for exams but I dont want to skip a single definition or example.

>>36739603

the picture is stupid because several of the terms like "optimization" or "partial differential equations" are introduced at undergraduate level but their research continues all the way to the current frontiers of mathematics.

and some "fields" are way too deep.

"metric spaces" ??! that's a second year undergraduate sub-field in a bog-standard analysis program.
how in the fuck could it possibly be deeper than measure theory or stochastic calculus?
