@dotnet genuinely the coolest maths concept I have ever learned -

@theorytoe@ak.kyaruc.moe yeah, Euler's formula is great.
It's awful that schools don't teach it earlier, you can derive most of trigonometry from it, instead schools force you to waste time memorizing a bunch of identities for trig, only to learn Euler's formula and the complex plane and realize all that was unnecessary. -

@dotnet yeah, unfortunate too because complex numbers have been more useful than rational roots (still havent used those yet) -

@dotnet also the fact that youre literally gatekept from the form of complex numbers that actually is intuitive makes me really mad
because holy shit polar complex numbers are so much more intuitive than rectangular, especially when you have j in weird spots -

@dotnet i have NEVER needed to graph a rational function, find asymptotes, find roots beyond a 2nd power polynomial, or any of the nasty rational functions stuff
sure you might need roots for cubics, but at that point I just punch it into my calculator:gura_sus: 1e+6 litres :flag_china: likes this. -

@theorytoe@ak.kyaruc.moe oh yeah, I think I vaguely remember learning that, but I don't think I've ever knowingly used it.

@theorytoe@ak.kyaruc.moe yep, polar form is so much more logical to work with!
My uni covered them first as part of physics 101, iirc for dealing with alternating current, made so much more sense and so much easier to visualize. -

@dotnet
my shit uni didnt cover them till circuits :dread:
sure I had it in tandem with physics2 but even then didnt really teach it that much in physics....:gura_sus: 1e+6 litres :flag_china: likes this. -

@theorytoe@ak.kyaruc.moe being able to estimate or predict asymptotes is handy for quickly estimating how a problem would behave before putting in the effort to put it into a solver.
Agreed on the rest though, if the problem ends up complicated enough to write out, you're likely to just stick it into a computer unless you're specifically trying to show off lol:gura_sus: 1e+6 litres :flag_china: likes this.
