Are you washed too?

how can you forget derivatives? they are like multiplication tables

a bit. the very essense of some theories stays, but when i read some of my own reports from 12 years ago it often feels like "it seems like that guy knew what he was doing" even though i recall them not being anything to write home about

>>216085046 (OP)
I never done anything beyond basic algebra and geometry

>>216085046 (OP)
>Forgetting how to do derivatives
I forgot how to do integration by parts but how does one forget how to differentiate

I felt kind of like this looking at my old DSP and electromagnetism course work, it would come back fairly fast if you dug in but fuck me

Pretty fascinating though what the human mind is capable of when you dedicate yourself to something

I never want to see any of that shit ever again. learning that didn't change anything in my life, fuck college scam.

>>216085955
are these derivatives? I have no idea what I'm even lookning at

>>216086036
It's not a very complicated concept if you're introduced to it in any other way than wikipedia articles
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vKqVkMQHKk

I don't even remember how to do long division

>>216086215
yea but I can't even remember what the hell that is, I'm 35 years old I could not tell you the last time I've done anything with that

>>216086036
Derivatives are extremely simple, they are a the tangential function of the original function, it's easiest to understand when you remember that the derivative of sine is cosine, and the derivative of cosine is minus sine. It's like the speed of the function.
Much like the derivative of speed is acceleration, and the derivative of acceleration is snap.
Integrals are simple the "volume" of a function between point a and point b
Integrals can get really complicated but their definition is quite simple.

>>216086324
I believe ya

>>216085681
I only remember what they represent but completely forgot how you solve them

>>216086232
same

>>216085046 (OP)
Yes

>>216085681
I forgot multiplications

>>216086441
you don't "solve" derivatives, you just apply rules mechanically

>>216085046 (OP)
I've literally become more retarded. My peak was in highschool.

>>216086546
Ok I rephrase, I completely forgot all the formulas

>>216086546
Same as life

>>216085920
You can easily learn more about them if you spend 10-20 mins a day before bed, learning math is actually quite fun on your own, without all the academic pressure.

Yep, neeting doesn't only affect your social skills, it slowly turns your brain into mush. I fucking regret neeting for a few years when I was 18-21, made me a halfwit and introduced so many bad habits which I have to carry the rest of my life.

>>216085046 (OP)
I never quite got how to solve integrals

>>216085046 (OP)
Once I learn the basic logic for something, I carry it with me for decades. What I do forget are some minor details.

For example, if I haven't used a programming language in a while, I will forget intricacies about its syntax, but I don't easily forget the basic core principles of the language and its capabilities. So, picking it up again is a lot faster than learning it from scratch.

>>216085046 (OP)
It's all about memorizing formulas and shit, who cares

>>216086719
It's very simple in principal, it's the perimeter of the function (if it is 2d) between two points, for example, the function of x ---> 2x between 0 and 5 is 0 and 10
you need to find the antiderivative of 2x, which is x the power of 2
and then you substract the x to the power of 2 for 5 by that of 0
which is:
5 power of 2 - 0 power of 2
25 - 0
The integral of 2x between 0 and 5 is 25

>>216085046 (OP)
I barely even remember how to sign documents
like 99,999% of written text I create is by keyboard not by hand

>>216085046 (OP)
Yeah, I have a useless bachelor's degree in math, when you study math you mostly do theoretical stuff like convergence of functional series, topology, abstract algebra etc. Nobody gives a fuck about integration because
>WolframAlpha can solve integrals o algo
I used to have a head full of lemmas and theorems but after I obtained my degree I got depressed, withdrew from society altogether and became a NEET. I still offer paid tutelage in math including university math from time to time to earn some money, it was a condition my mother gave when she agreed to me being a NEET

>>216085046 (OP)
I became retarded since I dropped uni.

>>216087091
Yeah, muscles you don't use tend to disappear. If you still want to maintain your intellectual abilities I'll give you word of advice - try doing college level math just for fun, without the pressure of exams and homeworks. You'll see how slowly but steadily you'll be making progress and remember the things you forgot

>>216085046 (OP)
I remember studying math with my father in 4th grade and he got extremely pissed because I didn't understand fractions, I started crying and thought I was retarded for years
Then I kinda got over it and passed calculus IV in uni, and some random day I asked my father one of those retarded trick math questions like what's 1099 + 101 and he got it spectacutarly wrong, he said some shit like 5000 and then I realized that he was just projecting his retardation and math insecurity onto me all those years back

>>216085046 (OP)
>maths past exponents
They don't teach that in school here

>>216085681
Sociolinguistic course in high school. I only studied the bare minimum to pass math exams

>>216086593
integrals require intuition

I only got up until integration/differentiation. Engineering made us do laplace transformation ( our teacher was a gigabitch about it )

>>216086791
Fr, I genuinely couldnt fuckin care less, if someone told me in high school I could make shaders and 3d anime girls using all the math then maybe but its too late now

>>216086324
aahaa yes...i see what you're saying

>>216085046 (OP)
I look back at my differential equations, real analysis, topology, fluid dynamics, etc notes sometimes and wonder when I became so stupid
But in retrospect, I knew nothing about my current field of study back in college anyways

I have never really been able to do divisions on paper.

>>216085046 (OP)
>Are you washed too?
Yes and how do i even fix it and get back anons...

>>216085681
I took math classes like a decade ago bro

>>216085046 (OP)
My entire Physics degree was one big masochistic experience. I went into Physical Oceanography and that was quite fun.
I would imagine I am probably washed now, but could get back into it if I locked in.

>>216085681
I don't even remember what derivatives are bro

I was at the top of my math class too but I have literally never used any of it in the decade that I've been out of school so it has left my brain entirely

>>216085046 (OP)
Calc2 made me drop out of uni to work trade jobs

>>216085046 (OP)
I don't know the multiplication table
when I have to solve 8x5 or whatever I'll just do 10x5 then 100-5x2

who cares about this nerd shit, e = mc^2 sounding ass niggas, how about you put down your silly numbers and join us in the real world.

>>216090859
>when I have to solve 8x5 or whatever I'll just do 10x5
>ok, I see where you're going
>then 100-5x2
wtf

I know how 2 solve y'+f(x)*y=g(x) so I ain't got ur skill issue. GET REKT M8

I'm totally washed. Can't think straight, can't do shit, just being a wageslave with no ambition or determination. I became the adult I didn't want to be as a kid.

>>216085046 (OP)
I was always retarded at math. Never knew how to do anything beyond basic shit like multiplication or division.

>>216085681
>how can you forget derivatives? they are like multiplication tables
Yeah, high school derivatives. Wait, no, early high school derivation / integration. (Ameritfarts, don't read further, because you retards don't learn about derivation until college.) Things like integration by parts, I doubt you'd remember it after not using it for ten years.

>>216085046 (OP)
what the fuck are derivatives and integrations?

>>216086215
>It's not a very complicated concept
HURRRR!!!!

>>216086791
That mindset is why there isn't a single Spanish mathematician I ever heard of

>>216087158
>math neet
haha how terrible now imagine being a stats neet that'd be even worse

Yeah, been a while. I forgot most of the mathematics and chemistry shit I learned in school.

>>216091564
There's no way you haven't had some exposure to calculus
