Too bad Chad won't have a job after graduation. Sucks, huh. I want to major in pure math but I'll probably end up working at Starbucks under some tranny freakazoid looking manager.

I was thinking either civil engineering, cyber security, architectural science or some meme trade

>> No.10681532

Sir I think if you have learnt so much pure math, you would be very happy and would not bother working in Starbucks. If the point of studying in university is just to get a good job after then life is really miserable

The reason people go to university is to get better qualifications to get a higher paying job. Unless you're loaded, there is no reason to go to university just to learn. Learning just for it's own sake is dumb and gay

miserable is spending 40 years at a job you can't stand just because you had to study religion, liberal arts, music or n-dimensional geometry at university.

I get the appeal of math, I really do, but 3-5 yars of fun in uni is just not worth hating your job for 40 years.

Imagine having fun learning and using your degree to land a good and enjoyable job after, I know it sounds foreign to Americans, but here in Europe that is actually the case :)

Since most of pure math is base independent, he might as well use decimal whenever he needs to look at specific numbers. And when he first looks at a specific number, you bet he looks closely.

There's certain habits acquired from doing pure math.

Usually there's letters, not numbers. And integrals are seldom single variable and computable. I haven't seen a +C since calc 1, and have only used a calculator in physics exams.

>> No.10681773

Also integrals are usually definite (i.e. over an interval), so there's no +C

True, what I say does not contradict this. When mathematicians first work with numbers, they take it way too seriously.
>I haven't seen a +C since calc 1
I think this is more of a comparison of these people how they behaved in undergrad. And the +C becomes a metaphor for other similar habits that the soon-to-be pure mathematician will acquire.
>I have only used a calculator in physics exams.
Calculator is a metaphor for Mathematica, Maple, MATLAB, Sage etc. which is the calculators of our day.

What does applied math have to do with opening umbrellas?

>> No.10681856

>>10681824
Applied math instanciates abstractions. In a way this is like opening up and looking inside the umbrella that is the particular abstraction at hand.

>Name me a career that makes pure math worth it.
Mathematicians have a reputation for learning and usually turns out to be a great resource in just about any interdiciplinary project in the sciences. The situation is similar for industry. It's the best major for the thinking man. Of course brainlets do not know how to utilize the power of math. The people that belong in a math major tends to make their own way. It seems you do not have insight into this mindset at all. I think you are right in that pure math is not for you. You would end up at starbucks.
