"When will I ever use this?" "How is this useful in my life?" Not everything we learn in math has to be applied. Math can be seen as an art as well.

Typo on one of the problems: Use the numbers 1-32 instead of 1-36. Whoops.

I remember they asked this question during the 2022 Physics Nobel Prize 😅

Dude, you seriously make me happy when I pop on X and I see one of yer videos. Please don’t stop spreading joy. Let the haters hate, I don’t know when they’ll be able apply their hate for anything good.

Thank you!

ok but how do u make 11 with 4 4's i've been trying for like 10 minutes

I’ve learned to tell my students that there’s more than just learning a concept that may not be applied later- math provides your brain opportunities to stretch and discover new learning- it’s brain development that math helps expand.

4 * 4 - 4 / 4 = 15 ((4 + 4) / 4) ^ 4 = 16 4! / 4 + 4 - 4 = 6 4! / ((4 + 4) / 4) = 12 4! - 4 - 4 - 4 = 12 44 / 4 + 4 = 15 (44 + 4) / 4 = 12 4! - 4 * 4 + 4 = 12 4! / 4 + 4 / 4 = 7 4 / 4 + 4 * 4 = 17 44.4 / 4 = 11.1 !4 + (4 + 4) / 4 = 11 HAHA I DID IT

Math is beautiful in its own right. But I do think the question of when will I ever use This is a great question. The amount of teachers who will teach calculus and linear algebra in college without explaining why is the majority. And people just end up memorizing formulas.

It’s the beauty of maths. I love maths, yet don’t know why

I'd never heard that, about the area of pi in a 3-4-5 triangle. Thanks.

Applications are a great gateway to mathematics. It wasn't until I needed certain mathematical ideas (in my case mostly game theory) for specific applications that I developed a love for the field. But now I love pure math at least as much as applied math. As you say, it can be like art. There is useful art. Sometimes it tells us something important about psychology or whatever. And sometimes it's just beautiful and that's all it needs to be. Math is the same way. 🕯️

@UKbitcoinHODL Until last month, my age was the square root of the year. Very special considering the year will only be a square once in my life time

Well that (and @ThomasHall17's retweet) got ya a follow

application : great. commercial potential for perfect square mirror ?

I wish I had you as my math teacher when I was young ages ago. When we asked that question, the answer was "so you get a good grade". Not very convincing, so I and most of my peers just hated math.

If you want to have brains that work acutely into your 90’s (if you’re lucky to get there) do simple math regularly plus Mensa test examples.

Cool video bro. It doesn’t matter if it’s useful in everyday life or not. Math teaches you how to think critically. You can be a philosopher without being a mathematician, but you can’t be a mathematician without being a philosopher.

The issue is with the force. Forcing people to learn things when they are uninterested is not a recipe for making lifelong learners. And suddenly everything comes into perspective as to why the outdated education system has failed most of society.

Those things can be applied... my KV patch uses Pi. Riemann Hypothesis Proof is a million dollar prize which relates to prime pairs via the zeta function 1/2 line... So figure out how to apply it and stop being closed minded. We wouldn't have the screen everyone is complaining if it wasn't for the mathematics (they choose) to not use.

I need more Howie rants in my feed.

The fact you have doe colorguard seems to jive well with the ideas in your post. Colorguard is Math and Physics in Motion.

Love it! Thanks! Couldn't agree more! (Math teacher here)

Actually this has many useful applications in real life; that triangle is a perfect framework that you can use to model repetetive phenomenon; the day and night is a simple phenomenon, but what about when you are asked to model electromagnetic fields...

I love you enthusiasm for math!

It is useful because the learner is learning to visualise concepts and understand how they work in context. Those are skills we all need for life.

oh i love math and i love your energy. we need more teachers like you

Agree with the general statement. But not for the four 4s, this is not maths. As for the puzzle, this is 32, not 36, did you really do it yourself or this is just an unfortunate typo? It took me 20' at breakfast and there is a single solution.

Keep up the good work, sir!

For once, grudgingly though, I accept your explanation

new knowledge : Any integer can be written in one of these six forms: 6k, 6k+1, 6k+2, 6k+3, 6k+4, 6k+5 every prime number is 6k±1

I enjoyed this video.

youre right but make applied the focus. in my experience most math teachers have no clue as to what they are teaching is used for. just like you, its for its own sake. math is a tool and should be taught as such. its like handing someone a wrench and asking them to paint with it

Math is music my friend and you are allowing it to resonate in a way that really matters.

Math is nifty. Howie Hua is nifty!

I think you are OUT OF YOUR MIND! AND I LOVE IT!!!! WAIT... DOES THAT MEAN I MAY BE OUT OF MY MIND AS WELL? :) Keep up the Great videos.
