What is the point of maths?
>>
I genuinely don't know what to do anymore, all that studying...
>>
>>17059945
math itself doesn't really have a point, it's just exploring the consequences of quantitative ideas
however, it is extremely useful because nature seems to obey quantitative ways

Usually a product operator

>>17059945
The point? You build-up an enormous logical structure based upon a couple of conditional assumptions and then let other people (and now machines too) tell you how stupid your assumptions actually are.

This guy multiplies.

what is the point of normies who only care about eating, shitting and fucking? Genuine question. What mentally stimulating thing would you have to bring to the table?

>>17059973
You ever notice how no one comes from a culture that doesn’t center around food and occasionally sex. They also tend to poop downstream from where they get their water.
Amazing coincidences.

okay let me rephrase it in a way you might comprehend: no culture on this earth is exclusively dedicated to base survival and sprinkles of hedonism. "Eating, shitting and fucking" was a shorthand, the central point which I will not let you distract from (as you failed to answer): what do you and your ilk bring to a conversation that has any actual intellectual merit?

Helps you figure out what statements must hold true in any coherent reality with more than one thing in it.

Do zoomers not really experience a little transcendental moment when they fully comprehend calculus?
>>
>>17059945
To predict stuff and how to assemble and make stuff and to know how stuff works.

So that you can you have an excuse to geek out by building a dumb ass rolling bridge

>calculus
acceleration and the area under boring function curves (boring because they only have one output) .. nigger that stuff is pedantic .. a much more interesting topic would be assembler programming or building your own game engine ..
>much deeper .. much more fascinating
>>
>>17060614
Calculus and systems programming are both interesting. Same as mongolian basket weaving. We all have different interests, and many people don't need the see the point of a thing, they simply focus on it because it is personally interesting.
>>
>>17060093
They throw their shit at me, not downstream.
>>
>>17060622
checked and youre right .. i just wanted to point out calculus is kind of boring to me / i dont get the interest

NTA, some people prefer to have the formal sciences abstracted from its applications, others the opposite. I'm in the former like
