uh oh I've been thinking about determinants again
@wallhackio why in the fuck would that be on your mind
@cam @wallhackio Latex in the browser!!
@wallhackio @amy @cam TeXLive is free
@wallhackio @aescling @amy wait is that your thesis
@wallhackio @aescling @amy I wish I knew jack shit about math or physics
@wallhackio @aescling @amy I’m not very good at it and don’t know where to learn it as an adult
@cam @wallhackio @amy i wish i had a useful resource on paw so i could say something more helpful than “i believe in you” but i at least do genuinely mean that. imo everybody can learn math really but i think it’s often taught quite poorly
@aescling @wallhackio @amy to be fair when I say I’m not very good at math I mean that I haven’t learned it in a while and didn’t learn anything beyond calculus so when I see an integral or a matrix or a big sum symbol I just black out
I’m meant for simpleton disciplines like biology
@cam @aescling @amy if you're really curious then watching math/physics edutainment on youtube is a good place to start, people like Tibees or 3Blue1Brown
If you want to do math for real real and also have 6 months then read Serge Lang's condescendingly-titled "Basic Mathematics" https://ia600307.us.archive.org/24/items/basic-mathematics-serge-lang_20240418/Basic%20Mathematics%20-%20Serge%20Lang.pdf
@cam @wallhackio @amy you finally understand
@wallhackio @aescling @amy I think you might be sick in the head
