  As an engineer I fully agree. Engineers¹ aren’t even able to do basic arithmetics. I even cannot count to 10.

  ¹ Except maybe Electrical engineers. They seem to be quite smart.

    Engineer here, I can definitely count to 10 tho

    0 1 10

      0 1 everything that comes after is simply summarizes as “many”

    Electrical engineers are the ones that use j though (because i is used for current)

    10? That’s the name some put to 1e1, right?

    Except maybe Electrical engineers.

    Yup, I can count just fine to 10: black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white.

    The inner machinations of an electrical engineer is too complicated for me to understand, I think they might be thinking on a higher order to understand these circuits

    Thats why I barely passed my electrical engineering class lol

  Right? They got that shit backwards. Op is a fraud. i is used in pure math, j is used in engineering.

  How do we know it’s gay though? OP could be a girl (male)

  • SippyCup@feddit.nl ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Because it’s 4chan. And there are no women on the Internet on 4chan

    Sure OP is a girl. Guy In Real Life

  The mathematician also used “operative” instead of, uh, something else, and “associative” instead of “commutative”

  source

  • Zagorath@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    “operative” instead of, uh, something else

    I think they meant “operand”. As in, in the way dy/dx can sometimes be treated as a fraction and dx treated as a value.

      I think you mean operator. The operand is the target of an operator.

      source

      • Zagorath@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

        The operand is the target of an operator

        Correct. Thus, dx is an operand. It’s a thing by which you multiply the rest of the equation (or, in the case of dy/dx, by which you divide the dy).

  My thoughts exactly lol
