the actual annoying thing about people's dislike of math is that it's kinda... mistaken? because the school subject called math, as it's currently taught, isn't really mathematics, it's just pen-and-paper computation class. even into high school (and often college) they're still teaching you rote algorithms and testing your ability to do rote algorithms with pen and paper. when i do math for fun i don't even do all that stuff, i use Wolfram Alpha all the time for algebra and integration and etc.

math is a puzzle game! you get to solve tons of puzzles just by visualizing stuff and thinking about stuff and it's the best puzzle game ever because you can make up your own puzzle in 3 seconds that takes hours of time and insight to solve and you get all these awesome eureka moments and at the end you've proven something universally true. and you don't need to learn very much to start having fun with these puzzles - classical geometry in particular is filled with them and has like no prerequisites and (almost) no numbers.

it is genuinely like if handwriting class was called calligraphy class and whenever you said you like doing calligraphy people would be like "omg calligraphy scares me, i hated being tested on my cursive" and it's like ??? that was not calligraphy. you have not done calligraphy

”Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Do people energize you or drain you? Would you rather be at a party or a library?” Stop subscribing me to binaries. Social interaction is invigorating and makes my life better and I’m exhausted the whole time.

@mybeanalgebra I SEE YOU ONLINE 🫵 HELLO

I need to stop thinking about my work days as "productive" days and my days off as "unproductive" days that I waste if I haven't built something or deep cleaned my house. What the fuck am I accomplishing at work. My job doesn't wash my dishes

guess who

two words that really shouldn't be the same word:

inductive in "inductive reasoning" (philosophy term)

inductive in "inductive proof" (math term)

But like what's the fun if you don't get carpel tunnel

they should invent a hobby that doesn't require potentially destroying your wrists

ADHD is so debilitating and it isn’t talked about enough. Imagine your body doesn’t produce enough of the most essential neurotransmitter. You are constantly seeking this neurotransmitter through any way possible, and it’s why you get addicted to doing things or focusing so heavily on something you forget to meet every single basic need.

You sit there and question what the fuck is wrong with you because it was so easy to study yet you just didn’t do it. It was so easy to do the things you stopped doing but you literally can’t do them.

Like wtf do you fucking mean I was born with a chemical imbalance that makes me incapable of getting up??? Wtf do you mean I have to take stimulants to counteract crippling ADHD symptoms, and then those stimulants actually just make me like everyone else????

Dude. What the fuck.

It makes me quite upset that all the math people hate (High school math) isn't even really mathematics. Computations at best. Feels like going to people who like literature and saying I hate literature I was made to do spelling tests every year in school.

Also unsolicited hate whenever you're like I like math.... There's no critique just pure hatred. Like I've cried because of math before, I still love it to bits.

Can people stop putting math hate on the math tag ?????

pleaseeee like I just want to see some fun math stuff, a bunch of theorems and memes
