personally I think its kinda evil how many jobs end up just being math

I thought engineers build things

To build things you have to model the world in order to understand if you are building them correctly. Engineers model the world with mathematics. Usually.

Engineering sounds more complicated than being mathematician

engineering involves a lot of math followed by multiplying everything by 2

It’d actually probably be mostly conservation of energy and Fourier’s law

Engineering is, in fact, complicated, but it also depends what you’re doing. Usually it is just “take problem, systematically convert problem to math, use computer to do math”. If you are a research mathematician you are inventing new math

Not to imply systematically converting problem to math is always easy but like being A Mathematician is also very difficult.

Why do they call some programmers software engineers when they don’t necessarily use math and just program
Programming is applied mathematics.

Oh well coz they build software productd. But like the building doesnt necessarily have to involve math at least as ur coding it
I mean it’s a (relatively) simple energy equation based on the temperature, volume, and distribution of your water and the temperature of the freezer
we know exactly how much energy it takes from water for it to freeze, it’s just a matter of figuring out how quickly that energy will transfer from the water to the surrounding air
all of this is extremely well-studied
it would be kinda stupid to actually do it for something as trivial as making ice cubes in your freezer at home, but like, if you really wanted to you could

Not all math is arithmetic. It’s not really possible to program anything non-trivial while avoiding mathematical logic for example.

Is all logic mathematical or is there non-mathematical logic? When you solve any problem

Whats an example of a non-mathematical logic?
