I like the extended version, though I’m almost certain I saw an even more expanded version somewhere, though I haven’t been able to find it again.

That’s tough to swallow. Philosophy almost belongs at both ends.

Mathematics is the only branch of science that will continue long after the universe ends.:-)

Math is literally made up. There is no physical basis for math. Math is just another language used to describe things. The universe doesn’t care whether there’s “2 particles” or “1 particle and another particle” or “1 particle + 1 particle”. It doesn’t make these distinctions. Math only exists as long as there is an intelligent species which uses it. If there are no intelligent brains capable of using math and with a knowledge that it exists, math stops existing.

Pretty sure that when humanity dies, math dies with it, and the universe won't give two fucks about it and continue on it's merry way.

As an engineer, we would be fishing from the black cat’s bucket

As a manager, I would ask you to file a Jira ticket first.

Hey, I raised a ticket
It just went through the board into done within 5s of me creating it…

Archimedes constant for pi is good enough to get to the moon. Send it.

Not with a rod. But with a hairdryer.

I always say this to annoy my math and science friends
Engineers live in the real world Scientists live in the ideal world And mathematicians… live in their own world

this is exactly why i like math. i get to play pretend in my own little world

Yeah, that cat is definitely a cylinder

I feel like the raccoon needs to be handing off “his” fish to an engineer to gut and scale and fillet for him.

I was studying discrete mathematics with a book that had mini biographies of the mathematicians that worked on wharever was being explain on that section. And it was one of them, who considered mathematics and art at the same level as painting or sculpting and hated that mathematicians “lower” themselves to do math that were “useful”, like nobody expects the same “useful results” from the art department. This guy worked really hard to only research on pure mathematics and the most “useless” branch of it, number theory. Eventually, his work helped build the necessary mathematics background to make encryption a thing, and now the entire society use his research.

This may have applications to "

Idk man I’ve seen mathematicians at my university shudder at applied math and they were kind of half joking and half not.

Mathematician be like:
Hey engineer ! What if we kissed at the intersection of two parallel lines ?? 😳
Haha just kiding…
Unless … ? 👉👈

On the other hand, physicists who think a correct mathematical result proves anything, despite the logic behind being flawed, are the real issue.
