I hate math. Finally agreeing that it’s made up does not help. That was the part I knew.
Here’s what would help. Written apologies and retroactive A+’s from all the poor beleaguered teachers who were unable to force me to believe all this shit was necessary to learn. Cause. Y’know, it wasn’t. Not even close.
But it's not really 'made up', it proves itself through equations we can see and again proves itself through equations we can understand how the universe works. Maybe wasn't relevant to you and only minimal to my work but saying it's just made up isn't correct.
Well, it's as fabricated as any other logical construct. That doesn't mean it isn't useful.
