idk if it’s because she’s pregnant or w/e but my sister, an art history major, turned stay at home mom, thinks she knows as much math as me all of the sudden like I was talking about like 3rd order differential equations and she was just like “lol just use photomath” uh they barely make calculators that can do past 2nd order. most computer algebra systems don’t go past second order. I had to write a code to check my work on 3rd order +. Not only that but can photomath even do fractions? There’s no way it can do anything above multiplication and division. And then I was talking about linear algebra on fb and applying the geometric series to matrices and she was like “ah yes….. that should be…. linear?” like fucking congrats you read the first word of the post.
This also reminds me of this freshman physics kid that hangs around our office and he tries to keep up with us and it’s hilariously embarrassing. Like we were doing quantum the other day which is a grad level class and he’s like frantically reading Schrodinger’s Wikipedia page and offering up useless nonsense like “uh uh Schrodinger’s cat!!” thanks kid we’re talking about applying the Dirac equation
