After you don cracked your brain and pass all this yeye calculations. You will find work taya without getting one.

One illiterate might finally give a job and dictate a ridiculous amount as your salary.


Tell Dangote to solve Quadratic Equation now, na F9 straight grin

Knowledge is it's own reward.
What you do with it is up you.

Without mathematics and those who apply it, you would still be living in caves.
Everything , every convenience of life that you take for granted today came about by the sheer application of mathematical knowledge.
If you don't use yours, others will.
Those others will be the ones blasting rockets and spaceships to other worlds and galaxies , while you and your type are daily on your knees supplicating to the empty sky to come and rapture you into space, your so-called heaven.

Chew on that.

I have a rationale that could disprove a corollary of the second law of thermodynamics. It's being in my head since my uni days. If I release this rationale, I fear it would render Equation 12 on that list invalid and create constant energy which would be a terrible thing for mankind. gringrin

When I saw the thread heading, I knew Pythagoras would be the #1. That eqn birthed the geometry aspect of mathematics.

Let me tell you a story.

When I was in js2, I left the school hostel and travelled home. Unfortunately, I met no one at home as my parents travelled (there was no handset then). I had to return to school the next morning after sleeping in my neighbours place. I didn't have a dime left on me as I had hoped to get some cash from home. On getting to the bus stop, I pleaded with a passenger to allow me sit on his laps so i wont have to pay transport fare. It was a small car, owned by young lad who wanted to make quick cash. When the car got moving, he insisted that i pay inasmuch as i wasnt occupying any seat. The passengers were furious at him.

After few minutes of arguing, he said that if only his passengers were science students, they will understand that irrespective of the fact that I wasn't occupying a seat, I still need to pay. That was the last thing he said, he didn't collect money from me but that statement stuck to my mind.

It wasn't until ss2 when I studied Newton's laws of motion that I understood perfectly what the young driver meant. Especially the mathematical derivatives of Newton's 2nd law where F = ma. It became clear that for the moving car under constatn acceleration, more force (fuel) would be needed if the mass increases. I was increasing the sum total of mass,m in his car and as such, he would need to burn more fuel to maintain acceleration.

Mathematic eqns become more interesting when it is applied; that is why engineering is the best course to study. Application of mathematical and science principles become alive when you design your first plant grin

guy! you are good.... Nairaland has smart people.

Did it change the fact that World will come to an end??

No, equations don't change facts but elucidate them. These ones may show why, how and other reasons why the world would end when it will end. Don't toy with science please.

MaziOmenuko:


I keep wondering why those math courses have simply-silly names: partial differential equations: you go think say the course go easy as na 'partial' and not complete. Na so we do one mat201 course wey dem call 'ordinary differential equations'. O'boy, there's nothing ordinary in that course. Na so so 2nd, 3rd and 4th derivatives full that course. Person never finish first derivative, na to dey struggle with 2nd, 3rd and 4th; that wan na die.

Have you noticed that the final solutions to those differential equations are more complex than the original problem? How then is that a solution? You solve a simple linear differential eqn and your answer becomes quotients of complex numbers, how is that a solution?

Na waoh!
You are right to some extent, buh Complex analysis does not fit the bill cos its actually complex.
Same thing goes for real and functional analysis,; they are both unreal and not functional.
I wud choose any other branch of mathematics over Abstract maths preferably Differential equations.

Buh i ve got some friends that are just blessed with that intelligence so much that they derive joy in all branch of mathematics.
