🧵 What branch or aspect of maths makes you go gaga?

axioms. I can't see the numbers therefore numbers not real

I meant "gaga" as in it enthralls you.

Measure theory is melting my brain and making me feel retarded, but in a good way

Calculus, mainly just because there's so many different levels and specializations in the field. You can do standard differential and integral calculus in basic physics, but you can also combine it with so many more complex things. Maxwell's equations, Fourier transforms, Navier-Stokes, Laplace transforms, the Schrödinger equation, etc.
Any math which doesn't have applications in physics is communist propaganda.

Is that why commies were so good at cryptography/espionage historically?

I'm a math novice by all accounts but logic (specifically sets and symbolc notation) is really appealing to me for some reason. I would like to eventually be competent in calculus and differential equations

I'm talking about epsilon-delta shit. I'm an applied-math supremacist. Pure math is gay and retarded.

Physics cels got btfod by abstract algebra and never recovered

Now now chud, we all know yoh were filtered hard by first semester analysis and linear algebra

I'm quite decent at analysis and competent coder. Abstract Algebra on the hand make me wanna kms. I never be a pure mathematician at this point.

Real analysis is also used for applied math. The only difference between 'pure' and 'applied' math is that one is immediately useful for some application

geometry. have you constructed a square with the area of a given circle yet? before you repeat the same answer that everybody else repeats, constructing a square with the area of a given circle and constructing a square with the same area of a circle are two different things.
