How I imagine mathematicians...

  What they actually see:

  convolution

  cross product

  dot product

  multiplication

    The irony is that this meme works in reverse for that. At least, in order of mind blowing as I refreshed my memory, it goes multiplication (very easy), dot (scalars easy), cross (vectors medium) and convolution (integrals hard).

    In fact, I never did the later two but convolution looks fun.

    No. If a is a scalar, which it clearly is, it’s all multiplication.

    I see multiplication in code, Cartesian product, multiplication, multiplication.

    I might not count as a mathematician though. If the * was supposed to be convolution the a should have been cursive.

      In latex if you are using * you better mean convolution

  it’s funny, because I always imagined them giggling about typing 8008135 into calculators.

    Surely you mean 5318008.

      Naw. Mathmaticians are frequently dyslexic.

      It’s grammarians doing it backward!

    Excuse me, but self respecting mathematicians calculate it properly.

  madness. How am I supposed to know if 36 = 36 or 36 = 8?

    Numbers are all made up stuff, and they’re all the same. Here, lemme prove it; let a=b, and…

    a² = ab             // multiplying both sides by "a"
    2a² = a²+ab         // adding a² to both sides
    2a²-2ab = a²-ab     // subtracting 2ab from both sides
    2(a²-ab) = 1(a²-ab) // isolating (a²-ab)
    2 = 1               // dividing both sides by (a²-ab)
    

    From there you can prove any number is any number. 36=36 or 36=8 or 36=π.

    Do you mean 36 = 18 there? Otherwise, I’m very confused. 😅

    source

    • mhi@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Doesn’t make a difference as 18 = 8

  • DacoTaco@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Because the things like 3a are only for variables, not numbers.

  0a⁰ + 3a¹

    Yeah, when I found the meme template, it did say that, too, but I wasn’t sure if that information is actually helpful to someone reading alt text. Personally, I only know the guy from the memes. 😅
