Story Mathcoping is a good deterrent to brain rot

[Fallenleaves]

I'm average iq at best and I've never been good at math my whole life. But I still try to learn and do math with help from YouTube and textbooks.

I've been going to the library on a daily basis and I don't plan on stopping till I'm done with the basics.

I don't like or love doing this but it's still a good cope.

Based, I'm doing it mainly because I'm shit at everything else, nothing more nothing less

 

[Man]

Math lessons are shittily optimized for learning.

Once I re-notated all the math nomenclature to words that made sense, were applicable and less abstract, then I understood it better than the academic 'shorthand' that isn't compatible with how I learn for some reason.

I have a High IQ for what it's worth.

True. I don't have trouble imagining the concepts but it feels like mathematicians try to intentionally sabotage you.

Do you have the same trouble with programming languages or different "human" languages? I always thought of mathematical notation as simply a very different type of language with far more consistent rules. Admittedly tho formal logic can be tough to parse.

[Man]

Do you have the same trouble with programming languages or different "human" languages?

No. I learned some Javascript and am conversational in German.

I always thought of mathematical notation as simply a very different type of language with far more consistent rules.

I think math was too formal and impersonal and I didn't care enough about it to learn it the formal way, not that it mattered in University, but I failed a few FRQ (free-response-questions) in highschool because I didn't show part of my work and didn't mention whatever theorem was being used, by name, despite reciting the definition and having the correct answer (40% of the test was basically vocabulary + show your work). I think those parts are included so women get better grades.

Admittedly tho formal logic can be tough to parse.

Formal logic is hard to parse but easy to understand when you break it down, professors only explain it the 'proper' way with the notation and nomenclature. If you rewrote it in 'common language' I think most high school students could pass a proofs class.

I personally am of the opinion that citing theorems and showing sufficient steps is quite important. In high school it's less important, but imagine reading a math paper and trying to fill in the gaps only to find out the whole thing is bogus. I've been there. Even master students studying math sometimes try to justify going from A to B by simply inserting fallacious judicious guessing. Again, I've seen plenty of such BS.

Not using symbology gets unwieldy very quickly. I think modern mathematicians have struck a reasonable balance.

It Is Truly Difficult To Live With Such An Enormous IQ Moronism Join Date: 2010-02-08 Post Count: 451 #183567345Saturday, February 13, 2016 11:26 PM CST Hello adolescent schoolchildren. Lately, I have explored the territory surrounding my place of dwelling. And during each individual expedition, I noted the magnificent geometrical patterns throughout nature. The mere nodes of a single leaf bind together to form often semi-curved yet white, "embedded" lines. It is beautiful. Upon returning home, I thought excessively about the situation. And then I came to a horrid and unfortunate realization: The vast majority of civilians are incapable of recognizing simple mathematical patterns within nature. I was repulsed by that truthful realization. Mathematics is one of the fundamental components of abstraction. Recognizing the connection of concepts via mathematical knowledge is imperative to understanding the functionality of a system. Basic Calculus describes sequences. Yet, individuals of average intelligence cannot understand simple abstraction without a calculator(And calculators focus only on blatant computation, as computers are computational devices), which they can very rarely utilize efficiently. It is horrible. Nevertheless, returning to the main subject itself, I often displace myself to my local library to review scientific/mathematical books, and determine whether they are fit to be replenished within the finite collection. After analysis, I subsequently inform the menial laborers of my decision. It frequently baffles me that individuals such as Gilbert Strang(Who feigns supposed knowledge of basic Linear Algebra principles) are glorified by the employees there. Gilbert lacks sufficient knowledge of the subject he is speaking about. As does the majority of MIT instructors. They are novices who have gained supposed "credibility" via media manipulation. Linear Algebra is much more abstractly-concrete and fundamental than what Gilbert or his colleagues can convey it to be. Strang's "Linear Algebra" is successful only because of pseudo-pedagogy. Allow me to elaborate in a much more humble manner: I have attained exactly 157 IQ units. My spatial-reasoning greatly exceeds that of the typical individual, and this is evident by the many physics engines that I constructed on Unix-based systems using only C and SDL as my available utility tool. Yet, my proficiency in geometrical/trigonometrical manipulation is a mere thousandth of my overall capabilities. On various occasions, I have also solved many abstract, post-PhD level problems within the ranges of number-theory/model-theory. It is often distressing to visit Internet forums to discuss my intelligence level, given that reference to basic philosophical principles quickly confuses those who have a lower IQ than I. Strangely enough, those same individuals cannot comprehend basic vocabulary words, and they frequently mention the use of a dictionary and/or thesaurus. Why, a dictionary and/or thesaurus is redundant to understand such simplistic terminology. Well, I suppose that I should continue development of my memory-storage algorithm. I intend to simulate OS functionality using RBX.Lua, which should be relatively easy using modules. I can only hope that society stops patronizing individuals such as myself because of our superior intelligence. It is truly terrible.

Solving such a trivial issue is as simple as disabling your electronics and drafting a page of accurate answers. Do not worry though, such knowledge will be very useful.

You are experiencing difficulty in computing simple components of algebra, yes? Perhaps you would recognize greater results if you ceased with your reliance on a calculator.

Off-Topic Logic Game

Unintelligent_Anon Join Date: 2016-02-24 Post Count: 361 #185501144Wednesday, March 16, 2016 11:07 PM CDT Greetings, Off-Topic. On this particular occasion, I have decided to have an entertaining discussion with all of you by composing a simple game based on logical-reasoning. Firstly, while utilizing mathematics, we have objective statements such as "x = 5" Those particular type of statements are properly known as "predicates", given that they equate to either the Boolean values of true and/or false. within the above premise, it merely defines the quantity that variable 'x' represents. Therefore, it is "true" predicate. Although I used "x = 5", we could use symbolic notation such as this: E(x) = 5 Where uppercase "E" refers to the word "Equal", and the input variable 'x' receives the quantity described on the opposite side of the "=" operand. --------------------------------------- Recognizing the above objective explanation, the goal of the game is rather basic: to derive logical expressions to be interpreted by other users. I have devised a minimal list of logical symbols below: "-->" - The logical "if-then" operator. "If certain cookies are delicious, then some grapes are bluish"(Note that the premise predicate and the conclusion predicate do not necessarily need to be related. They merely need to have an obtainable Boolean value. '~' - The logical "NOT" operator. It merely negates "true"/"false" Boolean predicates into the opposite Boolean value. ~"I decided to traverse the area" becomes "I decided not to traverse the area." "^" - The logical AND operator. "(1+1 = 2) ^ (2 + 2 = 4) --> (5 + 5) == 10", which is true, given that "1 + 1 = 2 ^ 2 + 2 = 4" are both (true ^ true) respectively. Disregarding all of the other logical operators for the current moment, this is a sample expression that I have devised below: Suppose that we have variables 'a' and 'b': a = 100 b = 50 Firstly, let us define a predicate to determine whether the first value is a factor of the second value: R(a,b) = (a % b) This will retrieve the remainder of the division operation "a/b", using the difference between 'a' and 'b' as a referent. Likewise, R(b,a) would also retrieve the remainder of the division operation "b/a", using the difference between 'b' and 'a' as a referent. If I had an expression such as this: (R(a,b) = 0) ^ (R(b,a) = 0) It would be an expected case of a true/false pair. This is due to the mere fact that the (100 % 50) does not have a remainder, whereas (50/100) does indeed have a remainder of fifty itself. Hopefully the above descriptions provides a rather wholesome and otherwise precise discussion involving mathematical logic.

#184830717Saturday, March 05, 2016 7:39 PM CST "You didn't really refute it you just said it was close minded tho" How you perceive and define "existence" determines the validity of the statement. For example, do you perceive a set of molecules with a cardinality lesser than one-hundred as being nothingness? If so, then the molecules can "exist" in their own respective "space" without existing in your clearly defined object space.

He/She regularly attempts to mitigate debates in his/her favor by making references to irrelevant characteristics of opposing individuals. Why does this individual continue to behave in such a repulsively-narcissistic manner? It is quite intriguing.
