Thoughts on the world through the eyes of a BOY GENIUS. (hang on, the editors tell me I have to be modest.) ...through the eyes of a boy genius.

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)
