"Considering how many fools can calculate, it is surprising that it should be thought either a difficult or a tedious task for any other fool to learn how to master the same tricks. "Some calculus-tricks are quite easy. Some are enormously difficult. The fools who write the textbooks of advanced mathematics - and they are mostly clever fools - seldom take the trouble to show you how easy the easy calculations are. On the contrary, they seem to desire to impress you with their tremendous cleverness by going about it in the most difficult way. "Being myself a remarkably stupid fellow, I have had to unteach myself the difficulties, and now beg to present to my fellow fools the parts that are not hard. Master these thoroughly, and the rest will follow. What one fool can do, another can." -Silvanus P. Thompson, Calculus Made Easy, 1910

"seldom show you how easy the easy calculations are. On the contrary, they seem to desire to impress you by going about it in the most difficult way' is completely bullshit...

as someone who had to learn differentiation and integration, i 100% agree mathematicians complicate problems atleast half the times to make themselves look smart. p.s: only applies to ready to solve maths that comes in exams.

[@thats_inaccurate]

As someone taking graduate math classes, I disagree. Oftentimes we cannot find a simpler solution to a problem until after we find a harder solution to build up intuition. The way you learn math in school is very very different to the math research process. You see and learn the refined and nice looking maths that come out of hundreds of years of people polishing proofs that were ugly the first time around.

[@alphenhousplaysgames4565]
