Silliest academic moment to me personally is when you've spent a good chunk of your life hearing about how elusive and difficult calculus is. That the concept of calculus is some grand, overly complex concept that will melt the minds of mortals. That it's the language of God and all. Then when you actually look into calculus and try doing it you realize it's just 7th grade algebra

#sp-rambles #Calc III is where thing gets sillier and more complex but still it's pretty much just basic algebra #Oooooohhh how scaarryyy a derivative is just nx^n-1 how spoookkyy #I'm pretty sure if you showed 5th grade me how to do Calc I/II they'd immediately get it and do it well #Sorry for mathposting I was trying to sleep but brain is full of astrophysics and astronomy rn #This is what happens when your special interest is space I'm sorry
