Are you serious? Everything IS math. Our own existence could be described perfectly (in theory) using only mathematical functions, thereby proving that WE ARE MATH. MATH IS REAL.

English is purely an invention of our own and not a "rudimentary subject" as you call it. Math is the most elementary subject and everything that you can possibly imagine is actually just math in some form or another.

We don't, we just have the jumble of numbers you mentioned. Math is far more interesting than what they teach in school (in the US, at least).


it's like this in Canada too.


However, I feel like that wasn't what I meant with the question, I did clarify, I hope you can readjust your response according.

And sonuvbob... that was not my intention, I never applied a blanket statement on Mathematics as being a "jumble of numbers".



you didn't read the whole thing. skip to page four if you don't like his music/painting parallels.

i'm not discrediting you, i'm asking you to read the entire text before deciding it is irrelevant. And i'm not going to answer your question in my own words, since I feel the words in the aforementioned text are better than what i could write on the subject.

as an aside, stop being an ass.

None of his responses seem to be related to the contents of the quoted posts. I think something might be broken in his head.

Maybe his teachers didn't teach him enough of this 'maths' we've been hearing about.

I hate Algebra, it doesn't make sense to me.

Geometry, analysis and probas are quite interesting though. Oh and they can be useful irl. Algebra mmm not so much in your everyday life
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

I would argue that Algebra is more useful irl than Geometry. But maybe my everyday life is different than the average person's, idk.
