No, those who do not learn math have an impoverished life. You have no right to criticize the pleasures of knowing high level math because you've never done it before. Meanwhile many mathematicians partied, did drugs, drank in their youth, and still go on vacation, etc. By comparison, most who know math would agree that only sex and food top mathematical pleasure (and considering most mathematicians are married with children at a higher rate than normal, please none of this "virgin nerds" childishness I've been seeing around these comments). Just because you don't appreciate it don't look down on the people that do. Because we all think you live an incredibly sad life.

[@angellius4606]

Pookz everybody knows math they just fucking hate it, like me.

[@DannyMakesVideosIGuess]

Most people do just basic maths, not a lot go on to do A level or degrees. It's pretty naive and petty to hate Maths, it can help you do a lot of good things like quickly being able to work out how much is the best amount of fuel to put into your car for the distance you want to go, or for forensic scientists that need to know how to calculate the velocity of bullets or thrown weapons for criminal cases or even medical scientists that work on cures for diseases and treatment for some conditions. These people have to know Maths to better our lives. Then there are those less fortunate 3rd world children who would literally give their live to go to school and learn other languages or maths or music. Honestly in my opinion if you absolutely outright *hate* Maths you are a petulant, spoilt douchebag.

Agreed. I program and the number of times I've had to use quadratic equations I can count on one hand. Plus today there's so much knowledge out there most people don't have the memory capacity to remember it all, rather instead remember where you can find the information then remember the information itself.

[@obinator9065]

Scottx125 Productions If you study the right way, you‘ll have no problem memorizing the formulas. I see people doing photographs of chalkboards, and then crying that they can‘t memorize it. Write it down, repeat it, this is active recall, you don‘t even know what your mind is capable of.

harrypotteravenclaw I hate when people say they don't need algebra/calculus... Or real life, LoL you guys using this everyday in your life, it's just that smart people made it so good so that you don't need to do all that manually. Take the math out and you have no phone/tv/satellite/pretty much anything that humans invented

[@shen8032]

Vijayabhaskar J Your point is so wrong

[@vijayabhaskar-j]

Azka okay boi

[@plmnhytfxswa]

"""""complex math equation""""" second degree and he tells them the formula..... it's something once you had studied, you can't forget

[@fardinrahmankhan6747]

Ferrera:I was good at algebra. Proceeds to get basic math equations wrong even after hearing.

[@brinka7918]

We did not deserve Jim

[@utkarshverma6888]

every asian kid be like 🤣😂😅😅

[@crimsonnite9291]

Like you need to be Asian to know this child play

[@damamdragon73]

I couldn’t forget the quadratic formula if I tried... And believe me... I have... That god forsaken song...

[@snuffeldjuret]

I have probably used that one once or perhaps twice :P.

[@Hellomotoniko]

The quadratic formula's called 'Midnight Formula' (Mitternacht - Formel) in Germany- you have to recite it even if you're woken up at midnight!

[@hcy3964]

KZbin Sheldon where you at

[@admiralspyro9722]

The fact that Sheldon divided the equal sign made me cringe.

[@rango3018]

Sheldon s sarcasm is on another level.

[@mac8919]

I can't breathe I'm wheezing Jim Parsons: Oh my god Me: Has an asthma attack from laughing

[@TianaBassett]

James Corden, America Ferrera and Jim parson = Me: Screaming 😱

[@jackishere120]

The title does not even relate to the video also this was pretty funny, i enjoyed it.

[@CausallyExplained]

some brains are not made to remember they are made to imagine and to create.

[@mast420kalandar]

Thats just an excuse for the people who cant do shit. This whole "i am creative person, so i am allowed to suck at math" scam is so stupid. When the real thing is if you are really creative, the last thing you should suck at is math. Creative people tend to visualize and math needs a lot of visualisation. This is one thing i hate about people who reffer to themselves as "the creative ones and the artist". As if rest of us here are just machines who communicate in binary language. They get to follow their passion of singing and dancing and drawing and what not because the rest of us take the responsibility of running the world that allows them to do what they do. Then to turn around and call themselves the "creators and artist" and so they should get a passe is not just a bit rich but ignorant and arrogant.

[@RockNRollNews12]

Mayank Rungta So actors need to study mathematics on the daily? They're not stupid nor required to have Einstein's IQ

[@RockNRollNews12]

Mayank Rungta Think you're just mad at yourself cause scientists aren't regarded like celebs

[@mast420kalandar]

Miracle axb isnt that sad that scientist aint considered real celebrities?

[@mast420kalandar]

Miracle axb My point was these so called creative people(even though i respect their art. I am jim parson fan myself) have a tendency to take pride in their weak background in mathematics. Dumb is the new cool in today's age.

[@simonerover8188]

Shouldn't complex equations have i's? Rip informatic science

[@huntergirl7275]

I've had years of calculus and differential equations classes, and I still write that bloody formula on my cheat sheet for every test.

[@kieranw5863]

Mom: Watcha u doing Me: Revising Maths

[@PepeValiku]

Everybody freaking out about the math, me being here just admiring Jim Parsons socks once again...

[@odineinmann5299]

Why are so many saying it’s not a complex equation!? What else are we supposed to do when the discriminant is negative??

[@Flash_345]

......

[@jamiestewart7882]

imagine thinking that the quadratic formula is a complex equation lol

[@jarahfluxman20]

It can be if b^2 - 4ac < 0 😏

[@TheMartnK]

Jarah Fluxman nice one😄

[@bitanmandal977]

Sheldon thinking who the hell invented this kind of formula.... Raj: my ancestor Sridharacharya

[@baranaru1495]

since when the quadratic formula is a complex math equation

[@WooHoo507]

Ok but i thought he was gonna say "write this equation!" then they would have to write it themselves, not write whats being read to them??

[@kingsk0133]

Carolina yeah but they still didn't get it right lol so it was fair

[@MeMyselfForWho]

Seeing Sheldon struggle with the quadratic formula has me weeping

[@kaptnseebar9467]

You know, the term "complex" is ambigious in relation to maths

[@medicis1466]

was looking for this comment lol... at first I thought they would have to solve a quadratic equation in C hahah

[@TheMartnK]

medicis Well, you can with this exact formula if b²-4ac < 0

[@bryannathan5068]

Just realized that Jim Parson's acting was so solid.

[@calebkuti7897]

But his voice acting could use a little work

[@ellja9399]

Sheldon's pink socks made my day

[@alejoaceval4278]

I was expecting some partial differential equation. Disapointed.

[@itsameaffi]

same.

[@creatip123]

1:45 "oh my god...." Typical people's reaction to sheldon, while being sheldon.....

[@ziabrisac]

Jim Parsons is Sheldon Cooper without the super intelligence

[@jamietomalin3815]

Time is impeccable and terrifying

[@matchprofit]

Wow so complex

[@steliostoulis1875]

Crumbly flunky imaginary

[@itstimetotalkabout1054]

They were sayin the equations on the show ( tbbt ) are complex

[@thisissketchy9339]

*Sheldon Cooper:* You're _weak._ *Jim Parsons:* I'm _you._

[@TBL_ZA]

woah im Smarter than Sheldon Cooper, wtf.

[@georgiion1684]

no, you're not.

[@SeanKyle461]

"Does that matter?"

[@ailish086]

We learn off this formula at 12. These people can't even write it down.

[@DannyBPlays]

don't you feel special

[@GirlyGirlMsp]

No the hell we don’t

[@sweetlioness3735]

Lol when he just goes "well that is probably you that said it wrong" and when she was like "oh you didn't mean me?" and he's "oh gosh no I didn't mean you" it's incredibly Sheldon like and makes me think how much no other actor could make it better😂😂
