Fake and gay.
No way the engineer corrects the mathematician for using j instead of i.
Right? They got that shit backwards. Op is a fraud. i is used in pure math, j is used in engineering.
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
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
The mathematician also used “operative” instead of, uh, something else, and “associative” instead of “commutative”
How do we know it’s gay though? OP could be a girl (male)
Because it’s 4chan. And there are no women on the Internet on 4chan
Sure OP is a girl. Guy In Real Life
Newfag.
(sorry! seemed like the appropriate 4chan reply)
My thoughts exactly lol
$\int dx f(x)$ is standard notation for physicists
Wait bottom mathematican is using j=√-1 instead of i and not the engineer? Because I’m EE gang, and all my homies use j.
That part also got me really confused. All the mathematicans I know use i while engineers use i or j depending on the kind of engineer. I’ve never seen a Pikachu engineer using anything other than j.
OPs boyfriend is obviously an i engineer and hates j engineers. No one can stay angry at mathematicians - engineers on the other hand…
Pikachu engineer
That’s a fucking favorite now. Keeping that in my back pocket.
The fun starts when you study quaternions
i^2 = j^2 = k^2 = ijk = −1
I agree. Clearly i is current. What is this i=√-1 nonsense.
[Lapsed] mechanical engineering gang checking in. I was also surprised. Though, tbh, I think it came down to personal preference of the professor more than field-wide consensus.
a real mathematician would use (0, 1)
instead of i
Something something distance calls for norm, not just squares.
||i||² + ||1||² = 2
Imagining your death.
no, d…do you have a plan?
Me, a language/arts person: “Huh?”

Well done, truly
I think rather d/dx
is the operator. You apply it to an expression to bind free occurrences of x
in that expression. For example, dx²/dx
is best understood as d/dx (x²)
. The notation would be clear if you implement calculus in a program.
If not fraction, why fraction shaped?
If you use exterior calculus notation, with d = exterior derivative, everything makes so much more sense
As a physicist I can’t understand why would anyone complain about a +jb or $\int dx f(x)$. Probably because we don’t fuck
As a software dude I can see you wrote a regex, I just can’t find out what you’re trying to match.
Heeyy… So when you need to express something more, well, delicate than just code, you need to use math symbols. For that you can use tex expressions. Modern markdown supports it: just copy and paste the $…$ part
This is the kind of brat I can get behind. 😏
😏
NGL, this is hot.
I’m a mechanical engineering student with a math minor and I’m a switch so yeah, I’d take either side of this
Better plot than 50 Shades of Grey
I believe the correct terminology is denominator mathematician.
Relationship goals
They both bottoms.
Hum… I don’t think the integral “operator” applies by multiplication.
You can put the dx at the beginning of the integral, but not before it.
Physicists be like: whitness me
Nobody on your link is treating the integral “operator” as multiplicative.
If you were using nonstandard analysis with dx an infinitesimal you could put it outside I guess. Maybe with differential forms too?
Switch it with a summation operator and see if it makes sense. The problem isn’t the operation by itself, but the fact that the operator implies an argument application, like a function.
In the context of differential forms, an integral expression isn’t complete without an integral symbol and a differential form to be integrated.
Physicist behavior
Gods I wish I had a top to troll like this
Imagine a top that isn’t math brained, giving you so much more opportunities to troll before they find out…and then when they do learn something you have been trolling them…
No, in my experience people like that just end up trolling me because they have no frame of reference and don’t care about reality. You can’t troll somebody with math if they reject the idea of learning anything about or using math.
Why are we still visiting literal pro-Nazi websites?
4chan is a largely fascist website but that doesn’t mean every single screenshot is fascist or does something to promote it
It normalizes their behavior instead of shunning it. Remember: If there’s one Nazi at the bar who hasn’t been kicked out, you’re at a Nazi bar.
Didn’t realize you had to be a nazi in order to post on 4chan.
If you are unaware of 4chan being a tool to push people towards fascism, you seriously need to do some more reading and learning. It is an explicit goal of the platform. Here is a random example of an article you can read. Wikipedia is also full of good information.
But physicists actually do that? They often write it like this: ∫ dx f(x) or this: ∫∫∫ dxdydz f(x,y,z)

As an EE, I used both. Def not a mathematician though. Fuck that, I just plug variables into programs now.
