>relearning basic geometry
Am I just a brainlet or do most people find it this boring?

>> No.8870444

Depends what you mean by "basic". I find euclidean geometry really fun.

>>8870440
For compass/straightedge stuff try euclid the game. It's a fun way to learn that kind of stuff.

Why? Skip to precalculus.

skip to differential geometry you brainlet

Oh it's extremely fucking boring. I hate it.

Not him, but I am in a similar boat.

I am going to college for Comp Sci(le meme), and I know enough Algebra to get by, but I suck ass at Geometry and Trig so I have to learn that shit first.

It's love hate.

It's incredibly boring, but I'm a visual learner so having a rock solid understanding of geometry improves my other math skills when I try to visualize them.

Make it challenging. I wrote up my own axioms after translating the greek version of euclid's elements without a translator, as well as redefined what an angle is and a bunch of other primitives. I also counted, and copied all the definitions from all thirteen books.

I am going to do a text analysis of heath's translation next and then make dependency trees for the definitions.

Things are only as boring as you are.

I lost.

Geometry is my favorite area of math.

>> No.8871842

You're joking right? Geometry and trigonometry was the best. Arithmetic was for Jewish Muslim Fags.

JUST
Geometry is the ultimate visual intelligence test.
Prove me wrong.

What the hell is there to "relearn"?
It is about 2 hours of work max, otherwise yes, you are a brainlet.

Learn vectors. It's a lot more fun, and it gives you a much more concise and powerful theory. If you want to have a lot of fun, learn linear algebra.

>> No.8872437

>>8872366

It is possible to get vectors/linear algebra from synthetic projective/affine geometry. However, there are some projective and affine planes which cannot be described by linear algebra.
