calculus is amazing, i would recommend learning it

2017-11-25 22:16:12 UTC  

I wish I had more of a reason to finish learning it

2017-11-25 22:16:35 UTC  

so far I haven't really encountered any problem I need it to solve in my own life though, for better or for worse

2017-11-25 22:16:36 UTC  

Yeah I will learn it because I need it for my projects.

2017-11-25 22:18:19 UTC  

for whatever reason my life has taught me to be attentive to quality and big picture/situation/context more than precise quantity

2017-11-25 22:18:55 UTC  

hoo boy I am screwed up today

2017-11-25 22:19:18 UTC  

morning migraine, now coked up on an assload of caffeine, stumbling and groaning

2017-11-25 22:19:49 UTC  

What drove me to learn math on my own as an adult was to realize projects I was thinking of so I struggled to learn all the necessary steps on the way to acheive the end goal. I like to work that way because you have a goal, and you have to learn a variety of sometimes completely new things.

2017-11-25 22:20:28 UTC  

Through the projects it gives the math an immediate purpose.

2017-11-25 22:20:57 UTC  

Then it's easier to learn.

2017-11-25 22:21:02 UTC  

is this in the field of graphic design?

2017-11-25 22:21:05 UTC  

yeah and as you applied it to a specific goal you desired, you probably remember it more easily

2017-11-25 22:23:09 UTC  

you should post these gifs on r/dataisbeautiful and r/oddlysatisfying

2017-11-25 22:23:13 UTC  

you could roll in upvotes

2017-11-25 22:24:09 UTC  

In the past, we would put people like White Pride World Wide into groups so they could channel their autism together for every one's benefit

2017-11-25 22:24:12 UTC  

Today we fail them in school

2017-11-25 22:24:18 UTC  

This is the final result of the decision to learn math after many failed attempts over the years I finally succeded after just understanding vectors. So from that point it took almost a year to finish it.

2017-11-25 22:24:44 UTC  

yeah clearly this is a gift he has

2017-11-25 22:24:53 UTC  

who knows what this guy could invent

2017-11-25 22:25:04 UTC  

a method if not a physical device

2017-11-25 22:25:10 UTC  

There was a community during the medieval era which tried to figure out how to solve polynomials of increasing degree

2017-11-25 22:25:21 UTC  

Everyone wanted the glory of taking it one step farther

2017-11-25 22:25:53 UTC  

I do this thing where I might pick something up to learn, but eventually give up. Some time passes, then I go at it again, I give up again, then after a number of tries I eventually always get it.

2017-11-25 22:26:09 UTC  

if I were fuhrer he's the guy I would commission to make the deep learning software to crunch racial quality scores from a huge database of profiles containing a few head photographs and other personal info

2017-11-25 22:26:14 UTC  

I think things sometimes have to take time.

2017-11-25 22:26:23 UTC  

maths definitely does

2017-11-25 22:26:29 UTC  

But you don't need to entirely give up.

2017-11-25 22:26:42 UTC  

math is one of those things that seems to improve by revelation/"eureka!" moments

2017-11-25 22:26:44 UTC  

it's often described as constantly bumping into walls until you know the layout of the area

2017-11-25 22:27:12 UTC  

only makes sense that it requires backing off to let things settle in your mind at times

2017-11-25 22:28:01 UTC  

there's an amazing documentary about this actually, about the guy who solved fermat's last theorem in the 90s

2017-11-25 22:28:42 UTC  

That cabinet is the first CAD model I ever designed.

2017-11-25 22:29:23 UTC  

And the game that runs on the arcade is the first software that was something I've coded from scratch.

2017-11-25 22:30:33 UTC  

I've always tried my very best to make things the way I imagine them and no less..

This is when I invented perspective as a five year old 😃

Just to illustrate, it's a mech foot seen from the front.
