Let

>let
>assume

I though math was a real science, not some arbitrary make-believe random bullshit

If you don't get why we use words like let, assume and considering in math, you clearly don't understand math.

So I can just assume that 2+2=5? Wew lad

Yes, you can do that

>cotemporary mathematics
Worse than alchemy I tell you

What field of science are you studying where these sound arbitrary to you?

>I though math was a real science
Math has never been science. Science uses empirical approach.

>Assume that 2+2=5
>Then 2=3. A contradiction!
>Thus [math] 2 + 2 \neq 5 [/math]
See, nothing wrong with assuming.

you're dumb

>literally making up imaginary numbers because your math doesn't work
This is why math is a pseudo science.

He was working mod 2
9gag tier pic, shit thread

He thinks imaginary numbers are make believe because they're called imaginary numbers for the sake of a 500 year old tradition

Okay then, I guess your penis is 10sqrt(-1) inches long then

nice try brianlet

why do we have conventional current then? Because of tradition

this.
because of the name, those "I'm more of a humanities person" idiots will always whine that mathematicians just make stuff up because they're too stupid to understand how math works. it fucking pisses me off, seriously, the name "imaginary numbers" is the worst thing that could happen to mathematics. I bet that if imaginaries were called "orthogonal numbers" nobody would have any problem whatsoever with accepting complex numbers. or at least not a bigger one than with accepting square roots or negative numbers.

>imaginary numbers are bad
>irrational numbers are not
this is science FICTION

>So I can just assume that 2+2=5?
Yes. There is nothing wrong with that.
Your mathematics well then become either inconsistent (aka. worthless) or all numbers will be the same.

can you read?

Fucking retards.

you know that it's literally just a way to express concepts right

also find me a math boy from the last two centuries who's called it a science

lol I love these people

i argue that imaginary numbers dont exist
but what you think are complex numbers are just elements of R^2 with a certain binary operation

then why are they roots of polynomials in R? Nice try bigot.
