A friend has just shown me this book "Calculus made easy", published in 1914, and I think it's got one of the best prologues I've ever seen. This is *exactly* what textbooks should be doing. And they should all be honest about how terrifying the topic names are too.
@unyquez@RohitMiles@signalborder Lol the point of the joke is to double-take at something obvious. That’s the literal point. No one’s trying to deceive anyone.
@Ataraxis00 Sometimes when I want to make myself sad, I go watch YouTube videos of reactions around the world from 2008 when they made the “call” on election night and think about how happy we once were.
