  I’ve taken like four or five advanced trigonometry courses and I still can’t really define what trigonometry is. Mathematics is like Andrew Tate’s Hustler University scam. If you take one class, it only exists to prove that you’re a mark and sell you more classes.

    I enjoyed the trigonometry unit in my highschool geometry class, but that’s because it was mostly proofs, and those were just philosophy about triangles.

  If you change "number" to "vector" you'd have mathematicians agreeing with half of those.

  source

  • Speiser0@feddit.de ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    But a vector is a number, no?

    • kpw@kbin.social ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Not really.
