Is math education mostly useless? I've never used stuff like long division, trigonometric identities or simplifying quadratic expressions in my adult life

You've used electronics so you've used math. Stupid schizo

Absolutely not. Math education employs tens of thousands of math teachers, how could that be useless?

Yes, maths is a language inferior to English.
6 means six in English.
> means superior to in English.
Yet Jesus means ??? in maths,
love means ??? in maths.
Anything in maths can be replaced by English, the opposite is impossible.

flipping burgers requires no math, you'll be fine.

You could define every position of letters with values and construct it, abc.. -> 123...

why are you so desperate to look down you nose at the people who cook for you? is it because you don't even have a job at all and you have a guilty conscience over being an unproductive waster? your mother cooked for you for years, you must think she is a total moron. half your genes come from her.

This cannot be applied to reality unless machines replace humans, which cannot happen as machines need humans while the opposite is false.

>> No.14820768

>>14820756
I dont understand where you need machines to define that A=1, B=2 etc.

Imagine trying to replace Jesus with a bunch of numbers, good luck speaking mathematics daily instead of speaking english.

>> No.14820910

>>14820782
Well if 1+2=3 then a+b=c
We use words for meanings while numbers are the words in themselves for some meanings
one = 1
etc.

>> No.14820914

>>14820910
And im not talking about replacing, Same goes for other languages aswell, The words are just different for same meanings

So because you specifically haven't done much with your life the entire education system is supposed to stop supplying basically all tertiary sector workers-to-be with vital skills?

That is not realistic, that is the main flaw of science: replacing reality with a man made reality.
No matter how much you try, Jesus and God will never be replaced by things like 16282 and 132976.
You are free to imagine what you want, to become some sort of madman who believes whatever, but your imagination is not reality.

the true social function of mathematics is to filter stupid people

Math beyond maybe 4th grade arithmetic is useless (to 99% of adults), math education teaches you to memorize and apply algorithms over and over in very slightly different circumstances with high accuracy. Basically what I'm saying is that when you're doing algebra you're actually learning to cook a Big Mac.
