Pfffft….
For anyone who doesn’t know, this is what linear algebra looks like
You’ve officially lost it.
I’ve never had it
y = mx + b
It’s algebra. It’s linear. 😬
I agree, all the other examples here are not on a single line. Some of the letters are on top of other letters, definitely not linear.
I solved it. Answer hotdog
Is this how Costco keeps their hotdog combo so cheap?
That and the threat of the CEO going full Patrick Bateman on the board.
you got to use numbers? i’m so jealous. we had to use matrices of variables when i learned it
EZ
One time at work I was trying to work out a least-squares fit using linear algebra.
I have no background knowledge in linesr algebra, it felt like drawing a pentagram on the floor and chanting in backwards Latin.
I see your linear algebra and raise you nonlinear acoustics: boom!
I remember algebra. x = 2 and all that jazz. Letters and numbers mixed all willy-nilly. Surely the “commutative” part can’t make it much worse.

Where the Red Fern Grows
My dad’s grade 4 teacher used to clobber him real good with a Bible whenever he did normal kid stuff, the Bible can definitely make you cry.
I noped the fuck out of that course. I’m sure it’s super interesting and rewarding, but I just couldn’t take it mentally at the time.
Oh, The Kittel… one does not survive ethically to solid state physics
This book…I read the whole thing, did most of the problems, and still don’t know a thing about abstract algebra.
Lessons in chemistry
Project Hail Mary legitimately made me cry there towards the end. I watched the movie afterwards and it wasn’t nearly as impactful (and I have opinions about the movie, even tho it was decently good), but the book just kicked me in the chest.
Finished compsci but interned as a computer technician and there I thrived. Instead of constantly having to keep up to date on programming: subscribing to journals, attending seminars and conferences, networking with other programmers, and of course (re)studying shit to get certified.
That sounds like my time as a computer technician and then a network tech. Always chasing the next cert to stand out from the next tech. Once I switched to compsci I’ve never been pitched any certifications.
