Well, you just used it to make yourself a comic. The wait is over.
If you’re eager for the Second Coming of the Real Life Usage, someone has to program CFD code.
batch please, my whole life is based on that stuff

Yes! A reason to be proud to be a Golden Grizzly that isn’t basketball!
Every damn day. Engineering for life.
Although, to be fair, the computer does most of the thinking for me.
Yup. I do stats for biologists, and the exact same deal. You can get a computer to do anything, if you know how to order it around. (Except for getting you a date. Most computers can’t do that.)
Funny… My computer has gotten me tons of dates. And laid too… All of them attractive.
Introducing new “Real Life”! Now without second order partial differential equations!
Wait no longer.

Oh plz, ec for diffusion of heat, for dynamic of fuilds, for the nodes of energy in quantum mechanics…
partial dif ec have limitless use in science
when I asked my college math/trig teacher what this would be used for he said nothing… we just need to go over it because the government said we should.
They say that. And then you get to college…
Not everyone got an amazing job like me.
I’m game developer, I use this to develop engines and stuff.
Don’t hate me because I got a better job than you, hate me because my engines are amazing and it allows you to get a lot of headshots.
… I’m working on becoming a game developer too.
Ah! Navier-Stokes equations!
[whimpers in corner]
In all seriousness, you generally can’t use these in real life because they’re to complicated to be solved in all but the most simplified scenarios. You would use simplified Navier-Stokes equations if you ever had a job involving computational fluid dynamics.
So? What’s wrong with that? You just get the computer to solve them by brute-force. Approximate solutions are good enough. Especially when “approximate” means “ten decimal places available within reasonable processing time”.
only math i use in “real” life, is + and – and occasionally BEDMAS
Physical chemistry!
That’s not a tie. It’s a broom handle. Little math is required to sweep floors.
Using nothing more complex that basic arithmetic and measuring shadows, he ancient Mayans were able to not only mathematically prove the Earth was round, but were able to accurately calculate its circumference within a margin of error of less than a meter.
Without computers, without calculus, they were able to calculate the Earth’s circumference with a margin of error of less than THREE. FEET.
So tell me, why do I need to learn this again?
And the proof of that if where?
Al-Biruni did it with no error though to be fair he used calculus and the degree of a ray of light
Because we already know the circumference of the Earth?
You just aren`t being creative enough.
I’m sorry, but I’m a mathematician. Questions like this freak me out.
What is this ‘real life’ you speak of?
A horrible, horrible wasteland where people expect you to socialize and there’s no ceiling, just an endless void. Pray for your sanity’s sake that you never encounter it.
If you’re an idiot who works at McDonald’s? Never.
Some actual smart people doing smart jobs use math every day.
I think it is fair to say that there are a great deal of people who will never use this… I work with people who drive big trucks for mining operations and they make 100,000 + a year, they dont use equations like this, and they dont have to spend alot of time in school to make big money. who is the idiot…
I know a guy who owns McDonalds resturaunts, he makes around 2,000,000 a year and he just hires guys who can do the math for around 80,000 a year so he doesnt have to do it ever… he is probably not an idiot either… if you think you are smart you probably are, but most likely your are not smarter than those who realize that they dont know anything but still manage to make more money than you do.
Start talking about real money and then get back to me.
Try being an RF engineer… you’ll be glad you paid attention to all those “boring” trig classes in college.
And that is why we need trade schools. Some people are interested in solving problems, some people never go beyond performing tasks. Higher education is a waste for the latter and it holds back the former in unproductive learning environments. To be sure, we need that kind of professionals – those hotel beds need to be made every day, and the little shampoos replaced, but they should not be subjected to higher-order thinking unless they ask for it.
Due to technological advances, trades are slowly becoming obsolete. The mundane jobs of replacing shampoo bottles will soon be done by machines that do not require pay, insurance, retirement plans, and other employee benefits.
Well some person has to build your computer, your phone and predict the weather. It could have been you is what they were going for.
i will never have to do a push-up “in real life”, but i am glad that i have strengthened those muscles.
I’m grateful for this type of math, and I am grateful for those who care for it.
I dont care for it. never have, never will, even if I end up using it everyday.
Actually, you use this every day. It’s simple logic, this math does nothing for you in the way that they think you’ll use crazy math but it teaches you logic.
