[Thread] Mental Math
(mander.xyz)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
there is certainly math going on in the brain at various levels, both equivalent models and identical sorts of calculations, it's not just fuzzy matching.
But probably not calculating trigonometry and calculus when juggling, right?
almost certainly doing those things and more (especially lin alg and diffeq solutions, and who knows what equivalent mathematical representations). Why wouldn't it? even stereotyped, there are subtle feedback variations you need to account for.
