Have fun doing any non-entry quantum physics without complex numbers.

Im starting to learn this stuff in school and feel exactly the same. :P

>negatives

even high school burnouts understand that negative numbers can be applied to debts

>>8619061
Back then I would say this is bait, but /pol/ invasions made me believe that there actually are people this retarded

You may not use it, but someone smarter will.

Honest question, why aren't taxes automated yet?

As a carpenter, I use Pythagoras all the time to ensure structures are square.

>>8620202
You can eyeball all you want but it will not be perfectly square and that can lead to serious problems that I'm sure someone as smart as you would already be aware of.

because everyone has to get their gibme dats from the IRS ex: the mortgage deduction

>>8619374
They are, actually. The IRS knows exactly how much you owe them, if you are a normal working citizen. If they didn't then anyone could cheat. The only people who they can't 100% track are businessmen who you never know exactly when they earn profits and when they don't. With workers it is simple: A paycheck every 15 days.

The reason they don't just e-mail that shit to us is because there are businesses who offer to do your taxes for you. If the IRS were to e-mail you how much you owe them all those accountants would be out of a job.

Basically, corruption.

>>8619061
plebs have no need of them, but there was a chance you wouldn't end up as one so it was the right thing to do to attempt to educate you

>>8619061
Tell me more about how math is not needed for my current situation as a physics major.

>>8621249
The IRS knows how much you owe based on your paycheck deductions but they wouldn't know about tax writeoffs etc, which is where accountants are handy

>>8621288
>The IRS knows how much you owe based on your paycheck deductions

And they should definitely send you that information via email. That would be very helpful as most people are mathematically illiterate. Then anyone could take care of their deductions safely.

Read time like an imaginary number, you'll have an idea what a dimension is.

Lol, surely you think a ring in mathematics is something you should be able to wear on your finger.

You don't see any use for negatives in life whatsoever? I hope you don't reproduce

This can be useful at times

Is practical use of imaginary numbers really complicated or is it understandable for someone with only basic knowledge in the field

They are the reason you have shelter in a building that doesn't collapse immediately.
There are many "past" uses for it that will one day no longer be needed in implementation, only in the results/measurements they provided.

MOST people will never do anything useful with these concepts: in this you are correct. Many people don't know what they mean, and some can't even spell those words.

Maybe. But it's fun hobby.

>>8625592
You can learn it in a few yours to get a general picture. Probably you remember the number line from school. Since a imaginary number consists of a real part and an imaginary part, you're number line is now a number plane. Often imaginary numbers are just used to easily solve problems in two dimensions, for example rotations are represented with the help of imaginary numbers

You get paid the money you count using arithmetic by using the knowledge from algebra 2. People will pay oogles of money to retards with number reasoning skills.

anything beyond algebra should be strictly tertiary education. teaching trig and geometry to highschoolers is beyond retarded, and a massive waste of time. even algebra is really pushing it, in a world where people with a HS degree still manage to max out their credit cards and run up bank overdrafts.

this is all part of the elite's control system of course. keep youth learning things they have zero practical use, wasting their formative years. if we actually taught natural philosophy, or economics, then people would have control over their lives, which is not what the elites want.
