Mathematics Slander

Mathematics isn't only for smart people. It's also for those who appreciate beauty. And those of us too stupid to quit.

"Math is Math!"

My Dog is a PHD in Mathematics, can't wait to show him this

"calculus students making simple algebra mistakes"

That rocked me to my core
They got us trying to remember too much shit

0:34 this one hit HARD. I can’t even do basic arithmetic anymore without doubting myself

"Considering how many fools can calculate, it is surprising that it should be thought either a difficult or a tedious task for any other fool to learn how to master the same tricks.

"Some calculus-tricks are quite easy. Some are enormously difficult. The fools who write the textbooks of advanced mathematics — and they are mostly clever fools — seldom take the trouble to show you how easy the easy calculations are. On the contrary, they seem to desire to impress you with their tremendous cleverness by going about it in the most difficult way.

"Being myself a remarkably stupid fellow, I have had to unteach myself the difficulties, and now beg to present to my fellow fools the parts that are not hard. Master these thoroughly, and the rest will follow. What one fool can do, another can."

-Silvanus P. Thompson, Calculus Made Easy, 1910

I am once again, asking for Physics Engineering Slander

[GuyFromJupiter]

I never knew I was bad at algebra until I took calculus, so I'm glad to see a meme about that!

[PMT]

Ah yes I remember the countless times I solved complex Calculus tasks, just to get a wrong solution because I forgot to add a minus *somewhere* in my calculations.

You've successfully slandered about 98% of my hopes and dreams at this point, keep up the good work my friend

"Dropping negative sign" is the most dreaded upon action

[Altair]

Me completely forgetting how to do basic arithmetic during gauss jordon elimination

[InItForTheLoot]

“You can derive better than anyone else in this class, you just suck at algebra” - my calc teacher to me. I’m in the bottom half of the class grade wise😢

[anch]

"Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well!" was literally my reaction when I saw the meme.

[adityamahajan]

my aunty jus got PHD in Maths and I'm gonna show her this😁

[uhcbvyv]

these videos are golden my man good job

[NoodleBerry]

I dropped a negative right at the beginning of row reducing a 6x6 matrix. So that was fun

[liamw]

I love how even through all this, the math channels on youtube are still like really well respected (as they should be)

[starman]

I remember i failed algebra and trigonometry twice while i had highest math score on calculus 3 at that time i was still preparing for algebra retake exam. Thanks for mentioning 3blue1brown he is jesus of mathematics.

[mauriciorv]

😂😂 i will say this is one of the funniest I’ve seen. Just earned a like

[ghosthunter]

me casually a difficult exam where we had to find points on a plane through pretty extensive mathematics, getting the right answer, but then when I rewrite it to use in the next section I just flip the x and y for some reason and continue with the wrong answer

[aranhaciclista]

This reminds me of a fluid mechanics test that a guy in my class had when the water level changed 10^-15 meters
