STOP DOING MATH

NUMBERS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN NAMES

YEARS OF COUNTING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for going higher than your FINGERS

Wanted to go higher anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called “GUESSING”

“Yes please give me ZERO of something. Please give me INFINITY of it” - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

LOOK at what Mathematicians have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the calculators & abacus we built for them

(This is REAL Math, done by REAL Mathematicians):

(Plots of the absolute value of the complex Gamma function, a mesh plot of |arctan(z^(-5))|, a compound of five cubes)

“Hello I would like (Riemann surface for the function f(z) = √z ) apples please”

They have played us for absolute fools

    Not gonna lie, I used algebra mid-conversation about a week ago. We were talking about the roaming range of unspayed cats. They typically roam within a 5 mile radius from home. I then had the fortune of remembering the formula for finding the area of a circle and was able to determine that unspayed cats have a home range of 78.5 square miles. That may or may not have been the first time I’ve used algebra outside of a classroom. I’m 31.
