@jmw150 @dqn I'm part Asian and majoring in computer science but I fucking hate any math beyond trig.

@xianc78 @dqn

Aww. Linear algebra is pretty great once you get used to it. Vector spaces are basically just polynomials you don't multiply. You can cheese many algs with it.

Calculus, and later analysis, is bullshit physicists made up so they can continue to approximate everything without understanding stuff.

@xianc78 @dqn

But yeah, feel for the character. People that can't learn such things are pretty fucked in the upcoming decades.

@Hyolobrika @dqn In East Asian cultures, failing school is highly frowned upon because it breaks family honor.
