A lot of people make the mistake of assuming that an equation is hard just because it uses fancy notation or a fancy font or new to them notation, as well as assuming that all hard questions in mathematics are gonna be really abstract and unreadable. Number theory disproves that, as it's easily one of the areas of mathematics with the largest number of wholes in our knowledge.

The fact that that last problem, the _Riemann Hypothesis,_ has been unsolved for *over 150 years* yeah, you’re gonna be here for a long time. Probably gonna die before you could even come close to solving it.
More than that. Letters in high school math tend to only represend (real) numbers, but in most higher math classes, you are going to start studying more and more of the underlying structures, which aren't made of numbers but rather sets and abstract algebraic structures, so the letters you use start to no longer represent anything that can be called a number.
I was hoping for Collatz at the end, because it might be the only thing that should invoke more sheer terror than Reimann Zeta, to the point that mathematicians treat it with Cthulhu-esque "don't speak its name, and for gods sake don't kill your career studying it" levels of avoidance

This serie of memes is perfectly showing the problem that the American and European continents have with maths and, actually, the logical language. We've presented this language like it was such and horrible and something that you can't even understand. But, in fact, this is one of the most simple things that we can imaginate. Maths aren't as hard as we all present them and are not linked to an hypothetical natural "genius-side"...
Yeah when i was younger i found math intimidating and simply chalked it up to me not being a ‘math person’. I’ve begun to put more effort into understanding it now and I kind of enjoy it. It’s a shame how our culture spooks kids out of it by making it seem like something you either can or can’t do.
Saying math is simple and intuitive is very funny, especially considering that all the mathematical discoveries have been made by very smart people who have spent a lot of time thinking about it. The average joe is only learning the easiest of all the mathematics discovered at a snail pace.
Both the Riemann Hypothesis (last image) and especially the abc-conjecture (what was attempted to be proven in the penultimate image) are very easy to state. The simplest way of stating the abc conjecture is: for any real number x>1, there are only finitely many pairs of integers a and b such that a, b and a+b do not share common factors and a+b > d^x where d is the largest squarefree divisor of ba^2 + ab^2.
this is why i am not studying anything math related in college, the first one brings me flashbacks of me not understanding shit and crying in the corner, good times :D
I dunno, I guess the zeta function is the last one because of the Riemann hypothesis, but understanding the statement of the conjecture isn't hard (same for FLT earlier on). Making any progress on it or understanding the proof of FLT is way harder than e.g. the schemes picture in 0:36. I would probably put one of shinichi mochizuki's nonsense papers as the last bit.
As someone who can learn calculus without getting confused, this is 100 times harder. Edit: calculus is confusing, but still, no where near as confusing as this.

Imagine being stuck in the void of space with the last problem and the only way back to reality is finding the solution
Bro💀💀💀 having fun proving it
The fact that that last problem, the _Riemann Hypothesis,_ has been unsolved for *over 150 years*
yeah, you’re gonna be here for a long time. Probably gonna die before you could even come close to solving it.

About a month ago, my pre-calc teacher told us that when math becomes so advanced, it is no longer about numbers, but letters.
More than that. Letters in high school math tend to only represend (real) numbers, but in most higher math classes, you are going to start studying more and more of the underlying structures, which aren't made of numbers but rather sets and abstract algebraic structures, so the letters you use start to no longer represent anything that can be called a number.
wow, this compilation was really very hard, the most hardest i've ever seen

Thank you for making me feel like a brainlet.
I thought I could do maths. Nvm me my brain cells died.
This serie of memes is perfectly showing the problem that the American and European continents have with maths and, actually, the logical language. We've presented this language like it was such and horrible and something that you can't even understand. But, in fact, this is one of the most simple things that we can imaginate. Maths aren't as hard as we all present them and are not linked to an hypothetical natural "genius-side"...
Yeah when i was younger i found math intimidating and simply chalked it up to me not being a ‘math person’. I’ve begun to put more effort into understanding it now and I kind of enjoy it. It’s a shame how our culture spooks kids out of it by making it seem like something you either can or can’t do.
It's like how culture scared me out of broccoli but when I tried it steamed for the first time I really liked it
if only they teach people how to read this shit not just to math majors
Yeah agree, thats why math just pure shit
Saying math is simple and intuitive is very funny, especially considering that all the mathematical discoveries have been made by very smart people who have spent a lot of time thinking about it. The average joe is only learning the easiest of all the mathematics discovered at a snail pace.
It's so ironic that only those who have actually solved all these problems can understand it the best
_yet no one has solved the Riemann Hypothesis_
welp guess no one will understand it best for now
Both the Riemann Hypothesis (last image) and especially the abc-conjecture (what was attempted to be proven in the penultimate image) are very easy to state. The simplest way of stating the abc conjecture is: for any real number x>1, there are only finitely many pairs of integers a and b such that a, b and a+b do not share common factors and a+b > d^x where d is the largest squarefree divisor of ba^2 + ab^2.
If a proof ever starts with “obviously” there’s a problem
anything that is related to math my brain cells degrade per second.
u kno it's gonna get bad when the first one is already quadratic formula
The quadratic formula is pitifully easy. It’s literally early middle school level mathematics.

Same here.
When fermats last theorem is in the middle …
And I thought getting a 5 on AP Calc BC test was impressive... dang looks like I still have a long grind before becoming truly impressive at math
It is crazy how I can recognize the most intense equations because engineers still use that shit.
Engineers don't do number theory lol
This video make me want to learn math
When you are a PhD and the only line that doesn't make sense is the one that starts with "obviously...."
growing up is recognising the maths as it gets more uncanny
They really said fuck letters, we're adding graphs and symbols INTO the equation now (before graphing)
Just looking at these equations made my anxiety go 📈
Anyone who's gotten to a high enough level of math knows its more letters than numbers
I still got ptsd from learning long division
"The extension to the general case is left to the reader"
Ah yes, the infamous.
That went from 0 to 100 real quick.
damn this ones actually accurate lol, fermats last theorem looks so simple and is easy to understand but such a nightmare to prove
this is why i am not studying anything math related in college, the first one brings me flashbacks of me not understanding shit and crying in the corner, good times :D
just get past algebra, maybe survey of calculus if you want a degree that can earn you a livable salary
I dunno, I guess the zeta function is the last one because of the Riemann hypothesis, but understanding the statement of the conjecture isn't hard (same for FLT earlier on). Making any progress on it or understanding the proof of FLT is way harder than e.g. the schemes picture in 0:36. I would probably put one of shinichi mochizuki's nonsense papers as the last bit.
The last one is the sum of all natural numbers
Well, sort of. Obviously, 1+2+3+... does not equal -1/12 but through analytic continuation it makes sense to assign this to the sum

btw,

is (1/2)arctan(x/2)＋C right？(C is Integral constant)
yep, spot on
I loved math before strange lines, symbols and letters were added to it
As someone who can learn calculus without getting confused, this is 100 times harder. Edit: calculus is confusing, but still, no where near as confusing as this.
Calculus isnt confusing or hard.
whats tough is the fucking teachers man. Tests become near impossible when your teacher is ass at explaining, and you gotta go on professor dave or some shit for the most basic help.
@@honkhonk8009 Exactly. The rules are plain and simple, but if your teacher isn't good at explaining or helping you visualize, you're fucked
A lot of this is still calculus. It’s called concrete mathematics or discrete structures. Uses crazy theorems and takes forever to prove them. Huge pain in the ass.
Calculus is easy. Fucking algebra and set theory is where it's at.
weird shit, today is my math exam and i get this in my feed😂
everything after phase 2 looks like chaos personified as numbers and letters, or like an ancient language, long forgotten by history. How you can understand this, it’s a mystery.
0:00 Many people (not including me) still get mad over this.
Remember the guy that made a whole freaking book to demonstrate that 1+1=2 ?
For me personally Riemann Dzeta-function is simpler than Category Theory.
Both mentioned above are still very hard tho
I think the video was implying actually solving the Riemann Hypothesis, not just understanding what the zeta function is.
