gollark: You can't really do applied maths without knowing the pure maths backing it.
gollark: It does help you with things, and people find it fun.
gollark: I like it because you don't have to worry about stuff like "units" and "error bars" and in many cases even "numbers".
gollark: You vaguely remind me of my former maths teacher, who seemed really weirdly enthusiastic about (some) maths.
gollark: However, gnobody, universities are not able to instantly teach maths[citation needed] so that is not *that* relevant. Although I suppose you'll probably like learning it full-time from very good mathers™ more, you can do SOME mathy stuff now.
