X, Y, Z, and thensome

First off, don’t take this post the wrong way. Math is one of my favorite subjects and I love doing it. But I just think that there are some things that could be improved or added. Sometimes I just have these…epiphanies. And I thought I would write about them. Sometimes I think about long division and think, there must be another way. So I decided that we should just invent a sort of shorthand for all those bothersome, messy symbols. So instead of: 5790÷234 You get: ∀∈ Ehhhhhh, it’s complicated. Just forget I said anything. Another thing is that some new numbers should be added. Like common fractions should have their own symbols. Like 5/6 could be ð, 3/5 could be º, and 1/2 could be Ħ. I think this could improve messiness (that’s a pet peeve of mine) and the symbols could be manipulated to become ratios or percents. Final thing: I want to combine algebra and calculus to make…wait for it… ALCULUS! It could be a 3-year course from high school senior to college sophomore. Imagine these two wonderful sequences combined. (1+x)^n=1+nx/1!+(n(n-1) x^2)/2!+⋯ f(x)=a_0+∑_(n=1)^∞▒(a_n cos⁡〖nπx/L〗+b_n sin⁡〖nπx/L〗 ) Goosebumps. Just imagine what I could do with combinatorics… (P.S. these equations don't show up very well on the blog)
