Yea Forums cannot even solve basic calculus

>when your whole career revolves around one author who had to make up a bunch of shit so that his theory could work

The problem is that you STEMfags might work an "important" job (important to globalism and automation) where you make money, but you live life like a slightly wealthier basic bitch, with your love for the same capeshit media and stupid boomer materialist outlook.
You're just a tool for the zeitgeist and are working hard to make yourselves obsolete for your 5G overlords.

Rekt

I have degrees in math and philosophy.

And which do you prefer?

You must not have met a lot of high-tier STEMfags. My algebra prof in uni read Gauss's works in Latin. My physics prof in second year of preparatory class helped his colleagues in ancient language department translate Nicolas of Cusa's scientific writings, and he had coauthored a book on Ancient Greece with our literature teacher (who was also classically trained). He would sometimes quote Goethe in German during lectures.

My Fourier analysis prof held a master-level degree in philosphy on top of being a tenured math professor. He wrote a nice article on Swift and has a blog were he regularly posts things like poems of his own or commentaries on Hegel.
His TA was also literary inclined, also had a blog, last entry I saw he was posting notes on his reading of Duras.

We're not all code-monkey pajeet with inflated salaries.

TL;DR: You don't know what you're talking about and you're not even as well-read as some of the people you diss.

>my prof this, my prof that

Was I talking about the the experienced and elite of your teaching faculty?

No, I was talking about the young STEMfags that frequent this website and that can be seen in droves at any university. If you're having trouble finding them, just look out for the hunchbacks in the Marvel teeshirts with gaudy looking earphones in.

What's wrong with their ear phones?

Seething. You are exactly as ignorant as the OP is.

You were talking about STEMfags, which is a vague term that does include professional mathematicians.

I was giving examples of people I know because in my personal experience well-read people are not rare in some STEM fields. You could find plenty of similar examples elsewhere.

I could have also given my own example but it's much less impressive, l'm currently learning hebrew by myself while learning some of Gongora's poetry by heart.
I also have a good friend and classmate who read the Quran in Arabic and has memorized dozens of Verlaine verse in French.
I used to discuss the nationalist theories of Maurrass with another classmate, sometimes comparing the differences between his style and Pascal's.
I have yet another former classmate who reads in four languages, who's a fan of Dostoievsky, Eliot and mystic poetry in Spanish, and who is currently learning Greek and Japanese. He also spent a year studying linguistics. Another classmate from an earlier year was fan of Bataille and Schopenhauer, I used to discuss Wittgenstein with my roomate who was also a math student.
Another classmate of that time started regularly projecting old movies in senior year, in the past few years we've seen, among others, Orson Welles' adaptation of the Trial, Jean Eustache's La Maman et la Putain, a couple movies of Parajdanov, about a dozen Truffaut, and Casablanca.
Let's not even mention the people trained in classical music (mostly violonists and pianists, but also some accordionist and saxophonist, and occasionally weirder things), they always make up a very recognizable and pretty significant minority of any higher math classroom.

That's all people in their late 20s (but most of our literary conversations took place five years ago), and just those I remember off the top of my head. The six I mentioned make up about 5% of the STEM people I've met (not including faculty) but 15-20% of the STEM people close enough to me to have a conversation about anything non work-related.

>just look out for the hunchbacks in the Marvel teeshirts with gaudy looking earphones in.
I don't think I've ever met more than a handful of those types in any lecture room (so among 30-150 people depending on the class).

What are your country and university?

I’m well-versed in complex analysis and DSP; meanwhile /sci/ is 90% basic calculus questions (and the other 10% is completely uncritical theory of mind).

You don't need Math and physics to be rigorous retard

How can one study philosophy without studying math? How can one understand Greeks if he can't see beauty of elegant proofs?

lmao thanks for my morning laugh

I actually liked calculus in high school a lot. Just not enough to do it every day so some Jew can make more money.

i can differentiate and integrate

But I'm a chemical engineer.

>Literally just came from class where we calculated Singular Value Decompositions of matrices.
wow principal component analysis so hard. How's your Intro to Statistics for Sociology class going?

the secret is to do things for the purpose of avoiding reality, not because of motivation or discipline

Its beyond basic calculus and that's the only relevant point here you fucking nerd. Nobody claimed it is or isn't hard to do. Its objectively not a subject ever taught in Sociology.
Your post is just teeming with insecurity, and objectively wrong in all aspects.

I have a degree in physics and still think positivism is for retards who memorize the exact way to solve problems out of the textbook without understanding what he's doing or why
I bet you're an engineer, and I know you're a fag

France, I studied in Condorcet preparatory class, then in Orsay. I gravitate to a certain type of Yea Forums autist obviously, but they're surprisingly common. Mathfags have a thing with languages.

This is perhaps the most honest self-help advice i've heard on this website. Trying to chill and not claw your own eyes out in anguish is a great motivator it turns out.

>muh humanities–sciences dichotomy

Childish. There’s no reason you can’t be interested in both.

Calculus is utterly useless

I've solved more than 100 project Euler problems.

>tfw try to find refuge in lit when i failed to obtain a stem career
maybe i should just off myself

Huh? Unlike you idiots on /sci/, I'm an actual physicist.

>Yea Forums cannot even solve basic calculus
??

>Unlike Yea Forums I've taken two semesters of introductory undergrad engineering! Checkmate!
What an embarassing post

>Mathfags have a thing with languages.
This is true in my experience.
Lots of the professors in my university's math department can speak 3+ languages and read decently in a bunch of others. It's pretty amazing.
