you're ugly

>>8058676
That's a given, anon. I'm just a triggered maths student who dislikes bra-kets.

>>8058684
Bra-kets are elegant as fuck
You're probably one of those people who refuses to call the Dirac delta function a function

>>8058697
No they're not. They're just unnecessary extra writing.

>>8058524

>>8058697
but it isn't

>>8058706
>They're just unnecessary extra writing
That's simply not true desu
How would you do write it then

>>8058712
But it is. If I'm not mistaken, distributions on R are certain functions from C(R) to R, where C(R) is some space of functions on R.

I'm fine with calling it a function. I just prefer to be explicit about working in a Hilbert space and with linear functionals. It reduces stuff to rote algebraic manipulation and tends to hide what's going on (similar to that video about using triangles for exponentiation and logarithms). I find that sort of stuff ugly desu. I see how it's useful shorthand, but I prefer to avoid it.

>>8058721
That's right. Hell, I'm so
ignorant, I don't even know what you're talking about.

>>8058714
First of all, I wouldn't leave my reader guessing at where everything lives (no reason to pull some obscurantist bullshit here, we're not doing philosophy). Next, I'd write v instead of |v \rangle, and similarly for the dual space.

The only piece of decent notation physicists seem to have invented is the summation convention for differential forms and polyvectir fields. And they didn't.

>>8058697
If there were any point in using that notation, mathematicians would have adopted it by now, and they haven't.

>>8058748
Also, the musical isomorphism.

>>8058684
How do you feel about Feynmann diagrams?

>>8058833
I've never done any QFT so I can't really comment. Are they used in place for calculations or just to help one get an idea of what's occurring so that they know how to approach a problem/concept?

>>8058833
Feynman diagrams are a good idea. Contrary to braket notation, they have been adopted by mathematicians. See for instance Kontsevich's proof of formality.

>>8058882
A Feynman diagram is exactly equivalent to a mathematical expression. So in some cases yes, you can use them instead of direct calculations.

I'm starting to sincerely believe some people don't have a train of thought.

They react instinctively to things and make the rest of it up as they go along.

>>8058549
he's an economist, I have no idea why they put physics equations for the picture in that news article
oh wait yes I do, [math]everyone[/math] is fucking clueless

>>8059155

Someone had to decide what stock photo to use on this article. I wonder if it was tagged under differential equation or if they searched equation and were just lucky that it contained one.

>>8059155
Because mathematical-economists use lots of physical models to model junk in the economy.. Imagine that.. I had a nobel-laureate math-econ professor who is prolific in pure math, economics, and physics.. Gunduz Caginalp.

The major problem with "If you see something, say something" is that a lot of the people seeing things are idiots, and the people they say it to have to react because they'll get fucking crucified if they dismiss it as silly and it later turns out to have been real.

>>8061179

People should be much more ashamed for how little they know about mathematics. Every single facet about a modern retard's life has depended on some rather advanced mathematics.

Point to something in your room right now that was not created with the help of mathematics.

Unless you're talking about a tampon made from the hair you collect out of the shower drain or a hand carved desk, there's fug all around you that would exist without maths.

I'm not saying everyone needs to be able to actually calculate anything, I just think there should be a more global appreciation of how important it is.

i fucking hate adv. math, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate how important it is.

you mean to the 1% of theoretical physicists that use it?
Or are you just calling calculus advanced math?

>>8058723

Not even kidding

>>8061711

I just hate the people who say "I'm just not a math person lol" in general. At least be aware that you're a fuckibg retard.
Math doesn't take any special skill except pure logic and intelligence. If you say "I'm just not good at maths" you might as well say "I'm a fucking retard who is too lazy or too dumb to think" and you'd still sound smarter because you'd at leat appear self aware.

Fuck all the girls bullying me and laughing at me for being good at math. Fucking dumb bitches go do porn that's the only thing you're good for I swear

What really pains is that people actually brag about not knowing anything about math. There is a general attitude of defiance and disdain, even among well-educated people.
You would never hear someone proudly claiming that they never read or don't give a shit about history or art.
I mean, maybe they don't, but they wouldn't brag about it, because it's unseemly. It's not so much the fact that people don't like math (to each his own), but rather the fact that it is universally ok to hate it and claim complete ignorance of it, as if it were anti-intellectual/cultural/whatever.
