Even math itself?

Yeah so far so good! You gotta try this shit anon I feel great! woohoo!

>>11098567
>weeb, furfag, and math incel all at the same time
Wow, that's rough.

>>11098567
You misspelled philosophy

>>11098684
fuck weebs and furfags but I'm starting to suspect mathfags might be onto something? I never cared about "math" until a couple years ago. Since I started reading into it I've been getting this feeling that math might actually be really fucking important unto itself like.. existentially or whatever. I have a hunch that math might be the only thing that matters.

Apart from finding a job

Philosophy and mathematics are the two most important subjects starting out. Master high school math then pick up physics also. The unexamined life is not worth living and the path of knowledge offers unfathomable returns.
I recommend Khan Academy if you need guidance on starting your journey. Good luck.

My college offers applied math with computing degree (basically applied math major and cs minor) and also a computer science degree (just a standalone cs major). Which do you think i should get? Will applied math be important in the future, along with computation? Or should i just go for cs

>>11098892
If you want to go to grad school studying some math (Lin alg + analysis) will help you

>>11098892
A CS major with a math minor >> a math major with a CS minor.

>>11098719
Physics is more important and fundamental than math. Math is just the language to display information. Physics is the study of said information itself.

You need to know both but realize that this "existentially or whatever" is the physics underneath it all.

>>11098944
There are some really weird things in mathematics that no one understands. Like Godel's incompleteness theorems. There is mathematics which seems to have no application in the physical world, but which is a very serious mathematical problem.

Try reading, anon.

>Everything else becomes trivial.

including things like basic hygiene and sexual intercourse

>yfw you cant even predict how much a beam will deflect under a load despite being an excellent mathematician

>>11099477
We could figure it out without having to memorize a bunch of formulas. We just choose to let brainlets concern themselves with such mundane tasks.

>>11099484
>We could figure it out without having to memorize a bunch of formulas
No, you literally cannot. You MUST know experimentally determined facts about the material.
Therefore only studying math is stupid.

>>11099486
Engineers don't remember those facts either though.

>>11099516
>engineers dont remember facts about the modulus of elasticity, shear, poisson's ratio, etc.

>>11099486
This knowledge of in an early textbook for mechanics. Experiment gives us motivation for a mathematical model to make some ideal / estimate, but making this calculation is extant from problem solving.
Like, there are mathematical physicists in math departments...I don't know what you're trying to say with this. You're not gonna dunk on anyone with your undergrad knowledge lol. Mathematicians prioritize their mathematics the most, but that's not to say they don't study or care about anything else. This idea that problem solving is reducible to a bank of knowledge is a very undergrad, very engineering student type mentality

>>11099534
You missed the point of what he was saying. He was saying that pure math does not provide a complete understanding or complete description of the physical world, since its methods are inadequate for even basic physical problems that need experimental results.

>>11099534
>here I will roleplay as someone who knows what they are talking about
You CANNOT predict what happens to a beam under a load without actually going out into the real world and running some experiments first. Period.

>>11099546
This is empirically FALSE.

I'm considering double majoring in math and philosophy, but I'm worried /sci/ might laugh at me.

yeah now they call eric deyhquan and says the nigga got money but we know that aint true.
Greek were black, Romans black, Ottomans black.
jew are all black. White people? black.
check mate cracker.

god if only my degree could make this happen.
had the choice of spending my life earnings on strippers and investing instead I went to fucking college.

>>11098944
>Math is just the language to display information
Hasn't done algebra confirmed

>>11099830
You're the one bringing /pol/ shit here

>>11099424
>Godel
way to reference the most normy mathematical concept you fucking brainlet

>>11098567
I heard ur bullshit meme bitch

I find math interesting but I mostly want to have an understanding so I can apply it while learning other subjects.

I'm an absolute brainlet, currently using khan academy to remember the shit I forgot back in highschool.

At what point would I be 'ready' to start studying physics? I'm still reviewing geometry now and then I'll go on to trig and calc.

>>11098944
But anon, physics and math are one and the same.

>>11104240
No they aren't. Both physicists and mathematicians agree they are separate disciplines.

>>11104174
classical physics is just algebra

>>11104245
Really? Let's ask Edward Witten, Lisa Jeffrey, Dan Freed and Pavel Etingof about that.

>>11098944
