Normal distribution, degrees of freedom, etc etc my brain is blue screening. How am I supposed to remember all this shit? HELP.
I'm bombarded with like 12 new complex terms in each lecture that I'm supposed to just fully understand. Gdhsjfbe fuck my ADHD brain.
OH MY GOD THEY HAVE MULTIPLE SYMBOLS THAT MEAN THE SAME THING, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT IN MATHS?
Higher math is actually notorious for this. The notation someone uses is a product of when they went to school, where they learned stuff, and what the background of their teacher was. There's absolutely no standardization, despite what you'd naturally think. It's a mess.
Sounds like we should just stop doing it.
The notation thing or math in general?
Either way, I think most mathematicians would agree.
Referencing this:
Edit: In all seriousness, though mathematicians should copy chemists and develop some kind of standardized notation.
Have you seen calculus?
i vs j for the imaginary part always annoys me. if you're an electrical engineer, you're wrong - I'm sorry.
this is an anglo problem, it infects everything they touch
Everything should be standardized in academics, it makes no sense to needlessly bloat things
