When you can't possibly ever be a small fraction as effective as a basic smart phone?
Is it really worth spending years in university and countless dollars, to be able to solve problems someone else already did 200 years ago?
Sounds like a waste of life to me. Why not do something useful instead?
It is a waste of time.
Better you realise this now.
OP being a mathematician is about learning how to solve problems people and computers don't know how to do yet.
We develop the mathematical tools for the other scientists to use. I'm working right now on better ways of modeling historical tsunamis to give bounds on tsunami risk for costal areas.
After your first year or so, your classes will focus on how you know a thing is true or how to use something you know to solve a problem you don't know the answer to yet.
Until AI comes along, you're only competing with people.

Keep telling yourself that.
P.S. AI is already here.
>>8716156
Prove it.

neural nets are already is industrial use, catch up anon, i can do those calculations you're talking about on my m2090 workstation, the fact is you've been duped into taking a massive debt you didn't need to because con men lied to you about the real world, no one needs university anymore, and all that paper proves is that you're a rube, a stooge, a mark, a gullible sucker. worse than bad credit is a university degree and a heap of debt

Sorry my skunkworks access card isn't working at the moment.
Listen Anon, you're obviously very bright, like many others in your field. If your intelligence and focus along with theirs was directed elsewhere. Cancer would be as dangerous as a common cold.

are you trying to beat cancer? if no fuck off
>>8716254
All of us should be trying to beat cancer, one way or another. What's your point?
>>8716322
Cancer is natural. Eliminate cancer and we'll just be even more overpopulated than we are now.

neural nets can't do my algebraic topology assignment so fuck you
>>8716763
I bet they can, you just don't know it yet.

Having trouble with calc 1, my friend?

The Riemann has yet to be proofed/explained by anyone or any computer.
Fermat's last theorm was solved by a person
Not a computer
