We learn by trial and error, not by math. Math is a shortcut the weak use to explain problems you can't figure out on your own.

I'm a geology major and all the math used in geology amounts to jack shit. It's trial and error that lets us figure out how groundwater flows. It's trial and error that lets us figure out about subsurface layers of rock. It's trial and error that lets us learn the relationships of long dead species. At best math helps us develop tools. Math is just our bitch.

Math majors put themselves on a pedestal they don't belong on.

No:

Mathematicians love math

Engineers use it.

Just look at perturbation theory and QFT if you want to see molested math.

It's the other way around. Physicists are fucking retarded at math.

pretty sure it's the engineers that use it and the physicists that fuck with it and cherrypick proofs and methods that work for their theories and ignore all the "rules"

engineers don't know enough about math to rape it anyway kek

We don't ignore the rules you tart. We just don't meticulously make sure our system satisfies every condition that one theorem needs to be true, which is fine most of the time because a lot of physics deals within a very confined set of assumptions anyway (natura non facit saltum etc.)

And this is done out of convenience anyway (else your undergrad degree would take you several decades). When you develop a new theory you have to be just as rigorous as any mathematician.
