What they actually see:
convolution
cross product
dot product
multiplicationThe 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.
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.
No. If a is a scalar, which it clearly is, it’s all multiplication. And there is no reason to use any of the first three. We say “three apples”, not “three x apples”.
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.
3 a *
Excuse me, but self respecting mathematicians calculate it properly.
Now let’s see, it was Dolly Parton had…
Tropical geometers: a^3
3(a)
a, three times.
Shaka, when the walls fell.
threa
AAA I guess
That’s A³
i just want to know how to write it as screaming
Chess Grandmasters: a3
FYI for the alt text: that’s Vince McMahon.
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. 😅
Za.
