Fake and gay.
No way the engineer corrects the mathematician for using j instead of i.
As an engineer I fully agree. Engineers¹ aren't even able to do basic arithmetics. I even cannot count to 10.
¹ Except maybe Electrical engineers. They seem to be quite smart.
Engineer here, I can definitely count to 10 tho
0 1 10
The inner machinations of an electrical engineer is too complicated for me to understand, I think they might be thinking on a higher order to understand these circuits
Thats why I barely passed my electrical engineering class lol
Yup, I can count just fine to the 10th number in a zero-indexed counting system: black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white.

Electrical engineers are the ones that use j though (because i is used for current)
10? That’s the name some put to 1e1, right?
The mathematician also used "operative" instead of, uh, something else, and "associative" instead of "commutative"
I think they meant "operand". As in, in the way dy/dx can sometimes be treated as a fraction and dx treated as a value.
I think you mean operator. The operand is the target of an operator.
Correct. Thus, dx is an operand. It's a thing by which you multiply the rest of the equation (or, in the case of dy/dx, by which you divide the dy).
Right? They got that shit backwards. Op is a fraud. i is used in pure math, j is used in engineering.
My thoughts exactly lol
How do we know it's gay though? OP could be a girl (male)
Because it's 4chan. And there are no women on the Internet on 4chan
Sure OP is a girl. Guy In Real Life
Newfag.
(sorry! seemed like the appropriate 4chan reply)
