It depends on what you mean by that. If that's "application to real life problems", then most of the natural sciences are "useless" by your definition.

>>8984156
What about everything that is not purely social ?

Name one natural science that doesn't have a practical application.

could you possibly reiterate your statement in a way that is perhaps a little more understandable?

I'm not following what you are saying, and thus cannot honestly retort to your statement.

dude I'm not the anon who responded to you. I replied to you cuz you sounded like a fucking faggot using stupid fighting words, which you did again ironically. Get some fucking therapy. No wonder why people don't like applicational mathfags. Fucking equivalent to fedorafags really

Hi CIA....

can I speak to your supervisor?

>>8984399

4u

>>8984383
honestly, I can't believe that an agency as prestigious as the CIA would stoop so low as to hire someone as dumb as you, who blatently exposes themselves as online shills, letting the people know that your agency is attempting to sway public discourse.

How exactly have you not been fired for extreme incompetence yet?

No secret agency could afford to hire someone as transparent as you, buddy.

their cover would be blown instantly from your sheer incompetence.

>>8984374
Although every natural science has at least some practical application, many of their subfields don't. Look at astrophysics, for example, most of its research is theoretical, with select few applications. But then again, even pure math can be applied to real life at some, if rare, occasions.

No it's environmental science with a focus on chemistry

Even if pure maths is not immediately practical, it is beautiful.

Theoretical breakthroughs in pure math can trickle down in applied fields, in the same way that progress in pure chemistry can benefit pharmacology for instance. Besides, there's nothing wrong in seeking pure intellectual challenge and trying to push the limits of human understanding and capacity for abstraction.

>>8984156

Calculus as once pure math. I think it's impossible to argue against the utility of it.

Try again, noob.

calculus was intended with a practical application in mind.

>>8984614
This. Even elementary algebra was once pure math.

>>8984633

wrong on 2 counts.

1. Astrology has nothing to do with fire.

2. the video I posted was about a fuel additive that was supposed to minimize cabin burning in the event of an airplane crash.

So, you lose.

>This. Even elementary algebra was once pure math.

keep trying to advocate for pure math funding, while you have literally no practical application, mathfags.

The famous formula [math]1+2+3+4+\cdots =-\frac {1}{12}[/math]

has several applications in Theoretical Physics (Quantum field theory & String theory)

It's a special case of Zeta function regularization.

>>8984648
What people are saying is that many subfields in math were once considered pure math, up until the point when someone actually found an application for that. The point is, no one knows about that beforehand, so it is both ignorant and dangerous for the advancement of science to dismiss pure math like that.

Also, Leibniz made mathematical sense of calculus, Newton's work was just all over the place and it wasn't until Leibniz came an published a book about it that he decided to publish his work aswell

Pure mathfags are all clumsy kids desu

>>8983305

Mathematics is a utility, the application is basically description.

Its purpose is to be applied, describing the universe or, you know, counting shekels. But on its own is like a tool without an object to act upon, like a brush without canvas. It is a backbone to fields in which truth isn't relative, no matter how many people dislike it. If you are mathematically correct, you are absolutely correct.
