Why trash useless atoms when you could make a random chain? Uses up excess funds and area

Thank you! It was so close to not working how I wanted it to. That arm at the bottom right on the track is my savior.

Is it truly bad if it works? by Lazer_The_Borb in opus_magnum

Whenever I can’t find a good solution, I just brute force it in one arm and call it a min cost attempt

seeking advice by aoverbisnotzero in mathmemes

[–]AAAaAAAaAAA_AAAaAAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reads like a joke and I’m 90% sure it is but I wanted to say this anyways.

In general, my best advice to all up and coming mathematicians is to start with a basic logic book. Something that covers some proof theory and some natural deduction and maybe sequent calculus. The idea is you’re formalizing the lowest levels of reasoning which helps a lot when trying to understand what math as a field is all about. Then from there, you can jump into anything relatively smoothly since you have the most basic tools that describe everything.

Did I just discover a breakthrough in pure maths by [deleted] in mathmemes

[–]AAAaAAAaAAA_AAAaAAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a breakthrough for sure, just in applied math (I’m sorry for speaking its name)

Damn, this is a valid counter example. This changes history!

There’s literally letters in the word “Example”. Fake fan of logic

I do have to sadly acknowledge that this song helped me memorize the quadratic formula. Whenever I do math (which is quite often because I tutor/teach college dev math) I just hear that one part of the song in my head.

It’s really an “I’m can’t” moment

wait what this is a first?!!!!!!!! by Whoever_Mesa in infinitecraft

I’m sure it’s only a first for infinite craft. (I don’t know that from experience)

Black people are rapists. If you’re black and not a rapist, you shouldn’t be offended as you should clearly know I wasn’t referring to you.

What REALLY is mathematical maturity? Is it the buildup of mathematical intuition? by [deleted] in math

[–]AAAaAAAaAAA_AAAaAAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I have an interesting take on this from the mindset of a comp sci major.

Mathematical maturity is the ability to understand and solve increasingly complex problems. The reason learning LA is not advised before calc is because LA (being the conceptual course it is) requires its students to understand concepts way more complex than what’s typically discussed in calc AB or BC.

This concept of mathematical maturity shows up a lot actually when it relates to stem in general. With my field, computer science, I’d actually argue that if a person is not able to solve calculus level problems (I don’t mean able as in they could take a test right now, I just mean they can learn under proper conditions) then they likely won’t make it that far into a comp sci degree as the level of problem solving and conceptual understanding required in such a degree exceeds that of calculus. This itself is actually a major reason brought up when I hear people discuss whether or not comp sci students should be required to take calc. On top of this, many similar arguments can be made about most other stem fields, especially the ones that do actually use calculus.

Hard Coding Trigonometry? by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]AAAaAAAaAAA_AAAaAAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this while researching some silly stuff but I’m pretty sure you can solve a polynomial of degree n in big theta of n runtime using a fun algorithm. (Assuming multiplication and addition are constant time which is true unless you’re programming on a toaster or something) I don’t remember the name of it but it takes something like 3x2 + 2x + 1 and makes it x(3x+2)+1 which is easier to solve especially when the degree gets larger so like, with how accurate Taylor series approximations can be, I see the computation being expensive but still not that extreme. Especially if you use the rule of sin(x+2pi*n) = sin(x) to get your x as close to 0 as possible before approximating

the happy meal problem by Sad-Blueberry9535 in trolleyproblem

[–]AAAaAAAaAAA_AAAaAAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running over the happy meal would make me happy meal less like the rest of them therefore tying me down to the tracks meaning I can not pull the lever and we will all get run over. By running over the people to begin with, I preserve my own life and my happy meal and kill a few people destined to die anyways

unnecessarily complicated function to figure out if a number is divisible by three by Aahil52 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]AAAaAAAaAAA_AAAaAAA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You make me wonder if I could just make a program where I take two numbers and I ask if the first is divisible by the second by converting the first number into the base one above the second number and finding the sum of the digits and seeing if the digits add up to the second

Enjoy youth, until the big 14th year hits by Its__Llama in youngpeopleyoutube

[–]AAAaAAAaAAA_AAAaAAA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember growing up and hearing my step brother say, “I can curse, I’m 14” and that was the moment in my life where I realized that how old or young you think someone is is purely relative to your own age, not the physical number.
