I recently read this:
https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~chazelle/pubs/polygon-triang.pdf

It's 40 pages long, not a single line of code, and yet the dude manages to solve polygon triangulation in linear time. But how do these people do it? I see these proofs in graph theory, information theory, and other computational science (and general mathematic) fields and yet I can't even comprehend how you'd drive such a thing. Do I basically have to be an autistic savant to do any of this stuff?

Are there any books for brainlets that teach high school maths?

I don't understand what I'm missing about this picture.

>Evolutionary biology.

no number squared equals a negative number. Why wasn't that fact enough to settle on.
>"BUT WHAT IF THERE WAS A NUMBER SQUARED AND IT EQUALED -1"
yeah and what if pigs had wings. eat shit.

Use your brain for one second you fucking moron.

>Even in physics, that would mean that the density of the singularity, that you derive by dividing by 0 volume, isn't infinite but rather some weird undiscovered number which would imply a new dimension perhaps?

What other interpretation is there?

Oh wow CHEMISTRY TERMS. Well this changes everything.

Should I graduate in maths if I already know that I'm not a genius and won't make anything of important and probably end up being a teacher (the thing that I hate the most) or just swallow the pill and study engineering and get a comfy high paying job?

Why doesn't "scientific proof" exist?
