minus-squareMaalus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·11 hours agoYou guys are mathematicians not letterematicians. Also, I’m doing engineering shit and I still need to count using my fingers when calculating something on a multiplication table
minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·7 hours agoAs a math guy, obviously the order of the letters is: x, y, z, a, b, c, then the rest of them in whatever order I currently feel like. As a CS guy, obviously the order is sort( [ set of all letters ] ).
minus-squarejawa21@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·10 hours agoI do trig for a living. I don’t remember how to do long division at all.
minus-squareaffiliate@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·11 hours agoexactly! and i am always in favor of counting with fingers. we were given them for a reason, might as well make the most of them. counting is hard enough as it is
minus-squareDragon "Rider"(drag)@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·8 hours agoNo, counting with fingers is bad. Count with phalanges instead. It’s more efficient
minus-squareCrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 hour agoJust be sure to do it in binary. You gotta squeeze all of the value out of those phalanges.
minus-squareDragon "Rider"(drag)@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·32 minutes agoThat’s impossible, because it would require tracking each digit at once. Counting in binary is kind of possible with fingers, but not with phalanges.

minus-squareaffiliate@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 hours agoyeah cohomology can be particularly rough. look on the bright side though, at least you now have the tools to answer this question:
minus-squareAtlas_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9 hours agoExactly. That’s why I refuse to do algebra.
