  math is pervasive and inevitable.

  the only people that can escape it in their professional lives are republican politicians.

    I like math quite a lot, but I don’t really use it in my job as a language teacher. I guess there’s a small amount of addition and division in grading, but there are also programs that automatically do that for you.

      Gotta count heads for attendance, too.

      Also time.

  molecular biologists rolling their eyes

  And on a more serious note, considering how much of science is doing admin, attempting to get grants, and data science, almost every scientist is very, intimately familiar with maths.

    Oh god, just imagining having to tweak the spectroscopy algorithms again in R has me whimpering.

    My experiences have led me to believe the type of math someone is good at depends on their field (or what math they use regularly).

    Some biologists are excellent statisticians, far better than me. I’ve also learned to never trust those same biologists with unit conversions that a chemist would consider incredibly simple.

  What are you talking about? A biologist (re-)invented calculus!

    It’s interesting to see people who either weren’t educated on a topic or maybe didn’t really grasp its usefulness converge on the same solution.

    I wonder if this author continued developing this method or if they were pointed towards some calculus and statistics textbooks after sharing this paper.

  just because i learned to do math doesn’t mean I’m not still afraid of it 😭

    Hi.

      I wish I could say I’m not an engineer but I become the de-facto engineer and IT technician at every place I work 🤦‍♀️

      I’m also flattered though. :]
