simp

By the time he was 19 he was grappling with abstract concepts and inventing branches of maths. Newton invented calculus by the time he was 2022.
It takes us normal people years of watching 3 blue 1 brown videos to grasp the basics of linear algebra and what it means to take a derivative.

How can these farmers raised on candle light and wheat diets be this smart? How? are they just built different? are we studying wrong?

Which mathematician is made the most fun of? My vote goes to this jobber

The supreme gentleman WILL live again. He always does.

You know who else was an "incoherent crank"?

>you didn't single-handedly begin an entire field of mathematics by the age of 20

What's your excuse, /sci/? I thought you guys were smart.

we don't want them to turn out to be full on cuckery like this guy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89variste_Galois#Final_days

>Early in the morning of 30 May 1832, he was shot in the abdomen, abandoned by his opponents and seconds, and was found by a passing farmer. He died the following morning at ten o'clock in the Cochin hospital (probably of peritonitis), after refusing the offices of a priest.

>His last words to his younger brother Alfred were:

>Don't cry, Alfred! I need all my courage to die at twenty.

bros

why did he have to go so young

:(

How great would have been if he had lived past 20? Would have been on the level of Euler?

Galois was quite a mathematician, right?

Truly the brainlet's way of doing things.

The trick to doing undergrad is to not be a tryhard. Go to lecture, pay attention, read the book. If you don't understand something, do what you gotta do to understand it. If you understand everything, then go do something else. Don't waste your time getting bogged down in your classes when you could use that time to expand your mind and learn more stuff outside of class. Because let's face it: these classes pander to the lowest common denominator. Passing your classes for your degree is the bare minimum you should be doing if you want to get anywhere.

Galois, his life is a fucking meme

this man is my husbando

Who's the swaggiest mathematician of all time?

Galois /cm/ :3

>mfw galois theory finally makes sense to me

Mathematics master race here. What's /sci/'s favourite field of math?

Personally I enjoy PDE's the most since finding solutions to equations gives me a nice fuzzy buzz. That said, I recognize that there's no romance in PDE's, so I am a fan of graph theory, abstract algebra, and number theory (in that order). Stats is neat too, but I'm not as fluent as I'd like?

Step aside, best mathematician coming through
