Coding is a tool for thinking in general.The fact that claude is accomplishing task X does not imply that you should retire you own thinking.

How many people on here can truly say that they were considering between two different countries. That doesn’t happen at scale. Mmmh...How about four countries?US,UK,Canada &South Africa. As a student,though

It is easy to understand the equations if you have physical intuition of what is going on.Then derive from first principles.Memorizing formulas is the key to failing advance math.

Are you saying that because they end with "Algebra"?You can get an A+ in basic Algebra and have no clue about Abstract Algebra.It is the chain of reasoning rather than the mindless manipulation present in baby Algebra.

Geometry is fundamental to physics and chemistry,not Algebra.Look at the thinking style,not the content.

Analytical geometry underlies calculus,not Algebra.And combinatorics is a completely different arm of the two cultures of mathematics.Also Geometry was fine before Rene Descartes messed it up with Algebra and then we christened it Analyt

Yes. Substitute Algebra with Combinatorics and you will be fine .I do not understand this Algebra worship.Speaking as someone who graduated magna cum laude in in College Math.

Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum k

I would say Physics is the subset of Mathematics that describes Physical reality.The rest does not care if it is practical, just logically intact.

There is a very slick proof for the irrationality of the number 2 that is found in Baby Rudin.I thought it was his invention.Turns out it appears verbatim in Hardy's A course of Pure Mathematics .

This is good as a second course on Linear Algebra.For a first course,use (I am not kidding) Linear Algebra Done Wrong by Sergei Treil https://www.math.brown.edu/streil/papers/LADW/LADW.html

Actually,combinatorial thinking is more useful for understanding Algebra and not the other way around.Key word is understanding .No need for a beautiful formula you cannot understand.

Combinatorics can do that even better,minus the memorization.

You probably have not come across Lev Landau's ranking of physicists.From Wikipedia: Landau kept a list of names of physicists which he ranked on a logarithmic scale of productivity ranging from 0 to 5. The highest ranking, 0, was ass

Black tea is consumed principally in Europe, North America, and North Africa. Totally left out East Africa,where Kenya is the world's 3rd largest producer of Tea,only a proportion of which gets exported.
