The irony is that this meme works in reverse for that. At least, in order of mind blowing as I refreshed my memory, it goes multiplication (very easy), dot (scalars easy), cross (vectors medium) and convolution (integrals hard).
In fact, I never did the later two but convolution looks fun.
Yes (actually \ast though?), but unless you're a maniac in LaTeX latin letters referring to variables in a math environment are cursive (actually a math font I think). Therefore if I am reading a single sentence that may or may not have been made using TeX I tend towards not if variables are in a standard font.
Yeah, when I found the meme template, it did say that, too, but I wasn't sure if that information is actually helpful to someone reading alt text. Personally, I only know the guy from the memes. 😅

I see multiplication in code, Cartesian product, multiplication, multiplication.
I might not count as a mathematician though. If the * was supposed to be convolution the a should have been cursive.

In latex if you are using * you better mean convolution

hurr durr maybe it's a vector in ℝ

it's funny, because I always imagined them giggling about typing 8008135 into calculators.

Surely you mean 5318008.

Naw. Mathmaticians are frequently dyslexic.
It’s grammarians doing it backward!

Ah, that’s how we wound up with reverse Polish notation.

Excuse me, but self respecting mathematicians calculate it properly.

madness. How am I supposed to know if 36 = 36 or 36 = 8?
lvxferre@mander.xyz · 8 pts · 251d
psud@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 248d
Lots of zeros in that due to a=b (before looking at the spoiler text)

Do you mean 36 = 18 there? Otherwise, I'm very confused. 😅
mhi@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 251d
Doesn't make a difference as 18 = 8
DacoTaco@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 251d
Because the things like 3a are only for variables, not numbers.
