>>12399885>>12402313So, the answer is: "yes, you don't need it, but it's just that somehow, by solving various types of differential equations, you get SMARTER and get BETTER AT MATHEMATICS" and "it's just a filter"?
You do understand, that it's just degeneracy?
I have to do this meaningless shit for 2 semesters because some degenerate on my faculty thinks it would be a great "filter" and because some degenerate thinks that "well, mathematics is a puzzle game, and solving these fucking equations by your hand will definitely help you somehow because it's all a puzzle(??)"?
With these "arguments" you're just proving my point; there's no fucking hidden meaning in this shit, it's just universities are one of the most conservative institutions, and they just ignore that, with the scientific progress, some "engineering" areas of the mathematics, where you just learn how to solve some shit, are already completely meaningless. But, still, we have some old man who taught all this shit for years, how can we let him be jobless? We have to let him teach the shit that can be solved in 2 seconds nowadays and spread his schizophrenia to his students, and let his students become professors and spread the same schizophrenia to the younger generations. That's basically it.
>>12402307>a few examples of problems solving algorithms give the wrong answer to in your computational math classesSo? You do understand, that I'm talking about some ODE, integrals, limits, etc.? You do understand that all the mentioned above != algorithms, and it's just a meaningless analogy?
It's literally "computer can make an error in solving Y, therefore you should learn how to solve X by hand."
