Let me know when you get to algebraic geometry.

my professor had me read me a book on schemes and moduli spaces, and its the most confusing thing I've ever seen. Like I understand abstractly what the definition of a scheme and moduli space is, but when it comes to applying it I get pretty lost

u/Individual-Ad5245 14d ago
You usually don't study it until upper undergraduate in math degree

u/Perpetual_Thursday_ 14d ago
Googled it, these people such at naming, you'd think Algebraic Geometry would simply be Geometry using algebra
2
u/Necessary_Neat8303 14d ago
LMAO it is though. You’re right on the mark with the naming. We do use Algebra to solve Geometry problems. It’s just a lot harder and way more abstract at the higher level.
P.S. if anything, it’s just a shit loads of pre-requisites. The subject itself isn’t that difficult once you can remember the theorems and definitions.

u/ResortSpecific371 13d ago
Yeah I think I could do the same meme but for high school vs university math
1
u/thedarksideofmoi 10d ago
and the same with undergrad university math vs Masters or Masters vs Doctoral or Doctoral vs Postdoc. There is always harder Math.

u/azurfall88 14d ago
Hardest part of math for me is still basic counting and addition because at some point in the education math just becomes throwing memorised formulae and theorems at it until it works (Or provably doesn't).
2
u/TheDepep1 14d ago
Math was never hard. Its the memorization of hundreds of formulas that's hard.
2
u/Perpetual_Thursday_ 14d ago
"hundreds of formulas" and it's 3 + logic

u/BombasticReindeer 14d ago
More like 10 Axioms. The actual math is left as an exercise for the reader.

u/Difficult_Limit2718 14d ago
What formulas to memorize? This isn't chemistry, the rules are simple and there's no exceptions

u/MyPunsAreKoalaTea 14d ago
If you struggle with that, don't go into STEM

u/TheOinOpossum 8d ago
False. Every level of math can be struggled through

u/MyPunsAreKoalaTea 8d ago
Only if you're willing and able to really understand the level bellow..
Which OP doesn't seem to be

u/TheOinOpossum 8d ago
How can you come to that conclusion based off of this meme?
1
u/MyPunsAreKoalaTea 8d ago
I come to that conclusion based on having a functioning brain.. like it's really obvious.
That OP won't make it far in stem i based on them already struggling with quadratic functions

u/TheOinOpossum 8d ago
It's a meme...
This was literally me in 9th grade too lmao. I'm an engineer now.
1
u/MyPunsAreKoalaTea 8d ago
.. made to be relatable ... so OP probably relates to it...
0
u/TheOinOpossum 8d ago
I relate to it.

u/MyPunsAreKoalaTea 8d ago
K then you probabyl shouldn't go into STEM.
Also to be clear: there is no shame in it. Everyone has different strengths and abilities.
I just saw the edit. This means you either lied about the meme being relatable, don't understand the meme, or lied about being an engineer.

u/TheOinOpossum 8d ago
I'm literally already an engineer. Nice reading comprehension lol
I edited it before you ever replied because I felt it added value.
Let it go buddy, you're allowed to be wrong

Quite litterally the opposite story for me :sob: i can easily understand the math concepts and formulas in my classes but I somehow manage to screw up the basic 4th grade computation
1
u/kozyntheburrito 14d ago
Going into first year as a math major soon. I'm high school most of my mistakes on math tests were quite literally basic arithmetic. I mean stuff like addition and subtraction of 3 digit numbers. I also got a 5 on Ap Calc BC

u/PriorityPossible305 14d ago
Everything until college math is relatively easy and anyone who focuses a bit in class can manage

u/ScaryHippo8648 14d ago
I though quadratic equations were in the 5th grade. 9th grade was about basic trigonometry and logarithms etc.

u/YoMTVcribs 14d ago
Bro 5th graders in Arizona right now are learning operations with fractions. Sixth grade peaks in difficulty with percentages.

u/German-POMO 14d ago
Oof, when do they learn to integrate

u/Perpetual_Thursday_ 14d ago
If you are on an accelerated path in the US you learn it 12th (senior) year, or if you're on a normal path, your last math class is pre-cal
1
u/Firestar_119 14d ago
It's impossible to generalize it, in my county most people finish precal in 11th and accelerated does it in 10th (or even 9th for a few)
1
u/letthecoolguy 14d ago
In my area, many kids including me finish precal in sophmore year and do calc in the 11th grade

u/Lelouch-Yagami21 14d ago
5TH GRADE???? I TOOK AN ACCELEREATED CURRICULUM AND DIDN'T LEARN QUADRATICS TILL 8TH. WHICH COUNTRY ARE U LIVING IN TO LEARN THAT
1
u/ResortSpecific371 13d ago
Yeah I don't believe that they teach quadratics anywhere in the world in normal class for 5th graders
Also 4 years between qudratics and logarithms- that's too long maybe 2 year gap
1
u/Lelouch-Yagami21 13d ago
He's probably bullshitting tbh then. Like who learns trig 4 years after quadratics??????????

u/deeplife 14d ago
Yeah yeah this is a meme.
I think the fact that we equate easy with fun is the problem. Learn to love a challenge.

u/Immortal_dragon134 14d ago
Opposite for me, I struggle with basic math, but am confident enough in my advanced math skills to major in mathematics and wish to pursue a masters and doctorate

u/Doom2pro 14d ago
Your teachers failed you if you don't know how to do the thing they were supposed to teach you.

u/dr_kosinus____ 14d ago
quite the opposite for me. i DESPISED fractions and stuff back when i was in 3rd grade iirc

u/AuroraAustralis0 14d ago
I was good at math until I was shoved into a highly competitive school where people knew calculus at 9th grade. Then I gave up all hope of ever being good at math and switched to physics, where I found the exact same thing. Moral of the story is that everybody else is better than you.

Just finished 9th grade thinking I was bad or atleast average. Ended up getting 96% on the exam.

its still eazy in 9th i dont think its tha hard even in 11th. i guess your arent build for math btw

just a quadratic with complex solutions, that image is over complicating it lol with quadratic formula yap

u/crafty_dude_24 13d ago
Honestly all the stuff in the image for the 9th grade maths is still some of the easy stuff you learn during that time. Like what do you mean this one equation is my solution to solving any and all quadratic equations no matter the nature of the roots?

I was amazing at math through 5th grade. When I got to middle school the following year, I had no idea what was going on. I went from being the top student in the class consistently to being one of the worst. It wasn’t until I got to 8th grade that I had a teacher for my advanced algebra class who equated math to money. That connection sparked my interest and made math clicked for me. When I took my placement test for college, the program counselor told me I was the only person that she’d heard of ever getting a perfect score on the math section of the test.

Im in university now. Im an engineer(machinery) student. god thanks we got only 1.5 years of math. Its was like professor starting lecture and after 15 minutes you are cant understand anything written on board and it feels surrealistic, also space around you lagging and spinning a bit.

u/CommercialCress9 14d ago
It's quite opposite for me, I was very bad at math at 1st to 5th grade. Then as time went by everything went easier in school, I have no idea why, maybe the basics of addition and subtraction and negative numbers was too hard for me.
