As an economist, learning this type of math is literally learning a new language.

I hope the fucking ignoramus who reported him got charged. What the actual fuck, people???
Destrophyryker
Charged? For what, idiocy? I’m afraid that would put far to many people in prison my friend. She should be mocked and laughed at though.

Dunno. You’re right, of course. Perhaps false accusation? I’m no lawyer so I don’t know if there is such a thing.

That's fukin hilarious! Also, they don't seem very intelligent. But why would anyone expect logic & reason from a person who has none?
ratfaceddog
It only stands to reason that the 7 people who have downvoted you identify as racists. Why else would they be offended?
emacs5000
This is great sarcasm..... Isn't it?

What? I’m not sure how you could read that as sarcasm. Who would be offended by “racists aren’t smart” besides people who consider 1/2

themselves racists? Think about it.

Don't make that mistake. For example, many Nobel Prize winners were racist. Believing the enemy's dumb only makes it harder to defeat them.

I wish a reporter would ask Trump what he thinks of schools in the USA teaching kids Arabic numerals.
latinomartino
We really shouldn’t be teaching Arabic Numerals in school! Think of the children!!!!!
Septcanmat
If he’s doing differential calculus he’s probably using comparatively few Arabic numerals. Mostly Greek and modern Latin alphabet.

I actually did take a quick look at what differential equations look like before writing that comment, but figured the joke was worth it.

Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, a 9th century Muslim mathematician, is known as the father of algebra.

"Algorithm" came from "al-Khwarizmi"

In the 7th Century Arabs added 'al-' to the Greek word Khemia & is now seen as a possible origin of the word alchemy.
TheBigMosh
Yeah, algebra is literally originally an Arabic word. Arabic numerals...
ztygs
I found it funny how many Americans said no when asked if they think their schools should teach Arabic numerals.
SirTomcatTheObstreperous
Shhh, if you mention the numbers we use are Arabic to the Southern States, they're going to ban them and try to go back to Roman numerals-

Replying directly to this: Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi first wrote about algebra in his book "Kitab Al-jabr."
