I literally am tearing my hair out on some math formulations some students I'm on a project with sent me, where they named all of the different variables x1 x2 x3... all the way up to x8, despite there being three different variable types.

that made sense back in the days of 16kb basic interpreters lol

Hand-written linear programs solved with Gaussian method over 4 pages and when you're finally done, it's like, What variables are these?

i have no idea what gaussian method is, the dude's most famous for magnetism and blur functions

And normalisation of curves and solving groups of linear equations.

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

oh, normalization... like derivatives...

well, i never did study the math that hard, i just study it when my task requires it

I actually like math. Sort of.

Starting to get mathed-out, tho.

i like it too but i am more interested in applied math, aka "computation"

so i don't study the math unless it does something

Gotta math-stretch sometimes
