Happy new year from a math teacher! :D

The “Japanese multiplication” is just a visualization of longhand multiplication.

The "Japanese math" example always irritates since it's completely ridiculous when you move up to something like 87 x 688.

#1 y=log_a(x) is upside-down, y=sin(x) is also flipped

#9 this is actually (more or less) how pythagore was proven by ancient greeks

Better: transform the pentagon to one big triangke first.

I love math. I regret not doing undergrad in it ? ? ? ?

I particularly enjoyed the last one.

I’m a 40 yr old mechanical engineer and the visual Pythagorean theorem blew my mind.

Nice! Did you know #2 can be done completely by hinged dissection?
Werewolf4619
I feel like #2 made things way harder than necessary after getting the rectangles.
animatronicChristmasChickens
You can show how to disassemble and reassemble. #2 seems like it's going to do that but doesn't quite

Even before that. Once you have the triangles you can calculate their areas, add them together, take the root. Done.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
This is what I was thinking. I guess it's a nice proof, but if you have the actual numbers all you need is the area of the polygon.
TheDarkNerd
Though I think the idea is that this can all be done with a compass and straightedge.

I can't believe I used to understand this

Ok but how do I do taxes?

Just reread a paper I wrote in grad school and it took me a while to understand it. The struggle is real

Bro I'm studying it rn and I still don't understand lol

Me and math were never good friends. I can count on a hand with 4 amputated fingers how many tests I scored positive during middle and high.

Such an underrated comment

My exact thoughts watching all of these things.
apneax3n0n
i used to understand and love it . had stopped using it since i stareted working in a unrelated fields. 5 years later i found my old ->
apneax3n0n
books and notes . i could not understand a single line of my own writing. (analisi matematica 3 fuck that shit).
POGassultraboot
You understood?
apneax3n0n
when u do it every day it's not that hard. stop for 6 months and it's ununderstandable
POGassultraboot
That’s cool. What job was that?
apneax3n0n
I studied mechanical engineering but I work as a software developer so no complex math is involved
POGassultraboot
Gotcha. Sounds pretty cool.

Dont you just mean derstandable?
apneax3n0n
no it was not https://www.yourdictionary.com/ununderstandable#:~:text=Not%20understandable%3B%20that%20cannot%20be%20understood.
apneax3n0n
wait the opposite of understandable is just derstandable ? this makes no sense. i mean if the prefix un is for the negation "unbelievable"->
apneax3n0n
"unhappy","unfuckable" ... you are thelling me the understandable is the negative version ? i mean the clear word in getting things->
