Conspiracy

Prof Leslie shall discuss on why maths is a big scam. ( hehehhee )

Now, everyone knows that 1 + 1 = 2.
But, 1 x 0 = 0.

Those are what you have learned in primary school.

In secondary school, you learn...

a + 1 = 3
Therefore, a = 2.

Yes yes, the zeroes are still common. But alphabets are introduced.

After secondary school, this is what you learn..

a x b = c
Therefore a = c/b

The only numbers you will face is 0. And lots of alphabets. Or else its Greek alphabets.

The point here is :

Maths ( lower to higher )

numbers ---> numbers + alphabets ---> alphabets and zeroes.

Crap, my logic only processes 1s and 0s. Try to feed to a CPU alphabet values, it will crash on your stupid face and go "BOOM!" ( who knows you might start to look like Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie or something. Turning handsome//beautiful cause of an explosion? xD )

Question : Why are we moving away from known value numbers to unknown value alphabets? Makes sense during learning, doesn't make sense when you think about it.

x represents an unknown value in different questions.

in Question 1, x can be 12. In Question 2, x can be 0. In Question 3, x can be P/(2ac + 4bd)

So.. wtf is 'x'? Is it just 'x', or is it 0, or is it P/(2ac + 4bd) or is it 12, or is it just some imaginary number that we use imaginary numbers to calculate with?

X is an alphabet -_-"""

Its weird to me how maths can evolve to such an extent. I mean, to calculate an unknown value, yes we can say that 1 + 2 = x, what is x?

but x + y + z = 3???

Weird isn't it
