As someone who went to university for mathematics (and computer science) I can tell you this is the most common misconception. People think that I spent years studying how to become a calculator.
I love talking about both subjects I went to university for actually and both can be difficult to get people interested in. There are massive misconceptions about both.
- lordnacho 9y agoYes, this is one of the most annoying things about people who don't know anything about math. - They see a shopping bill or a phone number and ask you if you can add them. - They see random equations, often in the background, and ask you if you understand what it means.
