Oh cool, I know who this person is, she did a couple of amazing videos on Bezier curves and splines

The hard part of math isn't understanding esoteric symbols it's the theory behind it and it's application. Number theory will mindbreak almost all people.

This post confuses me. Why would code be simpler than the math notation? Both involve symbolic abstraction of basically the same complexity

Its got to be a relatively small group who knows enough to understand loops and is also afraid of math symbols.

i hate that we all got so frightened about math. it's genuinely fun to learn how it works when you're not being forced to in a school setting, which was just a fucking nightmare for no reason. i had this former navy DI lady teacher in gifted kid algebra [so already a year ahead] yell at me for asking questions; she wasn't going to 'hold my hand' thru the homework, which was quite literally her fucking job
