Heh. Two immediate comments:
- It's not as bad as that. Chebyshev approximation + other techniques for evaluating mathematical functions are pretty easy to learn.
- You're absolutely right. Welcome to mathematics! The mountain goes infinitely high. There are tons of technical papers I'll never be able to digest simply because they've compressed lots of thoughts into cryptic-looking but standard notation.
- lifeisstillgood 11y agoThanks :-) I'll get back to you once I have mastered long division !
- jason_s 11y agoIronically, that's one of the few useless parts of mathematics, and the least favorite part of my elementary school education. Suggest group theory or linear algebra instead. ;-)
