Math is Cool

[Gymkata]

Math for it's own sake is like having recreational sex. It's all about the act, not the outcome.

Hahaha, mad a point and a pun!

No.....math for its own sake is like a wooden leg with a kick stand. Completely pointless. Math is ultimately used for the further progress of science. GO PHYSICS!

You've got to be joking.

Where else can you prove absolute, unshakeable truths with pure logic?

I actually enjoy mathematics most of all when its applied, but math for its own sake is far from pointless. People don't sit down and say, "hmm what type of math can I work out to further progress science?". They think, they analyze, they construct proofs and theoreoms based on logic alone. Then someone else goes and looks at it and does something with it.

You sound like a hippie too. Physics made me a sammich and cleaned my room yesterday. Math lazy. LAZY!

x^2 + y^2 = (29)^2
3x=4y
y=4/3x

Actually that's:
y=3/4 x
not 4/3.

I was waiting for someone to point that out... I would have said something, but I'm only in Algebra II/trig so I figured I would be wrong. I suck at math, anyway.

Amazing that our local math major missed it.

This one didn't. Just too late to the party.

I just miswrote it.

x^2 + y^2 = (29)^2
3x=4y
y=3/4x

x^2 + (3/4x)^2 = 841
x^2 + 9/16x^2 =841
25/16x^2=841
X=23.2

(23.2)^2 + Y^2 = 29^2
538.24 +Y^2 = 841
Y^2 = 302.76
Y=17.4

3(23.2)=4(17.4)

ADDING UP NUMBERS IS VERY UPLIFTING!

Math makes my head hurt.
