Cherry-picking individual topics and saying, “See, I never had to use that!” as an argument to invalidate standard mathematics education is a tactic of the anti-math crowd. Sometimes, in order for the machine to work, all the parts have to be in place. Read the first sentence here. Someone, at some point, had to have an understanding of polynomials, derivatives, curve fitting, among other things.
Those voice balloons are mathematically generated!
The “first sentence” on the page you link to is: “Sorry, we recently made changes to our web sites and the page you are looking for may have been removed, had its page address changed, may not exist, or is temporarily unavailable.” Is that intentional?
No not intentional. Will check momentarily and update. Thanks for letting me know.
It was a missing quote in the anchor tag. It is fixed now. Thanks!
Love the comics Manan! Great addition to the blog, because I can actually understand most of these 🙂
Thanks, Josh! I’m pushing for a weekly comic. Eventually the artwork will catch up with the jokes! And the jokes will catch up with being funny! 🙂
