My topography book uses some dumbly obfuscated matrix operations instead of saying something like "add each angle to the previous and divide the sum by C".

Why do you have to do this you dumb cunts?
I can tell you're trying too hard to make this look important. Just stop and make everyone's life easier.

Probably so that when you scale the difficulty of the problem up the method still works.

Post it.

Oh wait you won't because you're just a brainlet whining that a mathematical expression involves more than adding and multiplying counting numbers.

Mathematicians, being the most elitist and stuck up stem group, enjoy being over your head. It's like a mental illness.

If you were any not-shit at math then the first thing you would question is 'how the fuck did they find a way to model this with matrices and now how exactly does this subject relate to linear algebra?'.

Students with that attitude are fucking your girlfriend and getting 10 times more money and pussy than you.

Since when do engineers study topography?

Do you mean topology? I am talking about topography you fake gamer girl.

Yeah I was about to delete my post after rereading yours.

I remember the sophmore civies would go out and do surveying. That's basically topography right?

the answer is group theory
or category theory

that is to say, if you can represent the method or whatever as a matrix, it has ALL of the necessary properties of anything related to matrices of that size and structure.

Actually mathematicians just like to express things in their own form of pottery because mathematics is a art.

What pisses me off is they don't write explanations when they don't expect the readers to get it.

That's representation theory.
