The only reason math is difficult is because of all the weird symbols. it's like looking at a diffrent language and going "wow i cant understand anything, this must be so complicated that my simple brain is unable to grasp it" but if you actually speak the language its just reading, and its even easier than learning another language because theres only like 50 symbols. Does anyone have a good resource to learn what each symbol means? Need some kind of dictonary that lists all the symbols and explains them like what a ∑ or ζ means. Once I have memorized all of them all i need is a calculator and i will be able to do PHD level math, might even actually get a PHD and become a math worker (i guess that would just be a professor, arent really any math jobs except for learning other people math, atleast chemists and physicists and other scientists can actually do stuff like make rockets and invent things, math is just a pyramid scheme of teaching other people math) and yes I know math is the language of the universe and everything else is built on top of it blah blah but thats like asking someone to respect a caveman axe because without it there wouldnt be any rockets. Well, that should be it. Please link resources for what I asked I will go trough them and come back when im an expert in math. Thank you.

didn't read the rest of your post. dumb fuck lol

I admire your confidence in the face of total ignorance.

Lolno.

Chopping a log of wood with your hands is hard, if you just use an axe its easy. See how things can both be easy and hard depending on how you approach them? You are not human, your understanding of language is that of a creature with a diffrent brain structure, even a toddler would be able to make this connection, what are you?

>>16727100
I have a suspicion that you've never chopped a log before.

>>16727096
I dont care if its actually the language of reality or god or whatever i only said that to jerk off you mathcels a little bit so they would actually give me what i ask for. I will return with a math phd ASAP. (might not actually get a phd because i think that costs money but ill atleast be an expert)

>>16727110
of course he hasn't. he's one of those morbidly obese, sub90 IQ retards who thinks he'd teddy k

>>16727110
I helped my dad with it when i was 10 years old. its only hard if you're a total weakling, you dont even need that much muscle. but thats not the point, im not suprised that you math people are completly unable to grasp any level of nuance and meaning and need everything fed to you with a silver spoon because thats what math basically does, its rule following taken to its autistic max, zero room for thinking nor creativity, just memorization

>>16727116
you really should make your lies more believable. unless by "helping your dad" you mean carrying logs over for him to chop. meaning, you've never had to cut wood yourself. you know this. so why lie?

>>16727114
IQ is a bad measure of inteligence, welcome to the real world where everything isnt just a number.

>>16727118
You actually think hitting an axe down on a piece of wood is hard? I'd epect that from a math nerd, heres a video of a 6 year old doing it just to make you feel pathetic:

>>16727122
Anon, I really don't have the words to explain to you why what you just did is beyond stupid. I will try.

You say that chopping wood is easy with an ax. So easy, that a child can do it. You post a video of a child striking logs with an ax. He repeatedly strikes the log with the ax... completely unable to split it.

It's like you've modified your argument to say a child can strike a piece of wood with an ax. No shit. That's not what chopping wood is.

I'm just in utter disbelief.

>>16727124
Obviously you didn't watch the whole video, its irrelevant if he dosent get it on the first try he manages it eventually. If you want to heres a video of another young child doing it first try: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dZwHbRsjvso

>>16727116
>you dont even need that much muscle
I agree. But that's not the "difficult" part of chopping wood. Which leads to my main point here.

>you math people are completly unable to grasp any level of nuance and meaning
No. It's you that doesn't understand the nuance here. You think that understanding what the symbols mean will render you capable of solving any complex math formula by plugging in numbers on a calculator.

Here, let's do some kindergarten calculus:
Pic related is the "integral" symbol. It basically means "area under a curve on a graph." For example, we can take the integral of y=x from 0 to 10 and find it is equal to 50. We can generalize this as a function (Indefinite integral or antiderivitive) as y=(x^2)/2. Plug in any x for that function and you'll get the integral of y=x from 0 to x. This makes sense as y=x draws half of a square with side lengths x.

Now, by plugging in numbers on a calculator and not simply googling the answer, find the Indefinite integral of y=x^2.
Show your work.

>thats what math basically does, its rule following taken to its autistic max, zero room for thinking nor creativity, just memorization
You've just admitted that you've never done actual math that is not high school level or engineering style recipe based math. As such, it is irrelevant what your opinion is on what math is or isn't.
It's like saying you had to color within the lines in school which was boring and therefore the drawn arts have no room for thinking or creativity.

>>16727110
I have a suspicion that you are unable to read "hard" as "impossible" and "easy" as "simple."

>>16727148
I could but why would I in this circumstance?

>>16727148
why would i read one word and interpret it as a different word? are you schizophrenic?

>>16727083 (OP)
A "math worker" is anyone who uses math in their work really... which includes a vast number of professional jobs. It's very difficult to describe what happens in "pure math" since that's by and large research that's done for the sake of pushing the boundary of human knowledge.
Anyway, you learn what the symbols mean in your studies. It's just syntax and is simultaneously purely aesthetic and crucial to understand (and every school/author uses the symbols differently lol) Learning and applying the concepts is the hard part. Some people can self-learn this stuff, but generally if you have to ask how to self-learn you will never know (it's just work and figuring out how to provide correct self-feedback). University is where most people figure this shit out.

>>16727192
>defaults to schizophrenic
You need to update your lexicon to exclude obvious tells. The words. They mean things. Your inability to conceptualize "hard" and "easy" separately from physical labor does not reflect well upon you.

The bickering in this thread is unnecessary, pathetic and aggravating. You're nitpicking, pretending not to understand and derailing. I genuinely don't understand how this condescension could be more appealing than genuine curiosity. To think how trivially simple it would be to just agree or disagree with the idea that the ugliness of math symbols makes the subject harder to learn and nicely offer OP some educational resources.

>>16727271
Your gaslighting won't work.
>>16727148
>you are unable to read "hard" as "impossible" and "easy" as "simple."
It's very clear you're accusing someone of not reading one word and assuming a different word.

>>16727083 (OP)
its to gatekeep the goyim out of gods chosen mathematics

>>16727280
OP got exactly what he was asking for in the second post. So with that formality aside, we are free to call him a retarded faggot for the rest of the thread.

Sometimes I translate a math equation into code and then when I look at it it really is quite simple.
But of course there is also very complicated math.
