>WTF is the point of it all?
Practice of math and logic.
>That sheer lack of context is what I hate about academical math.
Isnt this beautiful?
Math doesnt need context, especially cultural context.
We dont need examples with apples, cars or money to do the math.
Sure, they are helpful for kids, but at some point they are so used to abstract concepts that theres no need for that.
So not only logic is being practiced, but also abstract thinking.
>still irrelevant in my life to this very day.
We dont do math just to apply some random ass formulas. As ive said it improves logical and abstract thinking. Both of them can make significant impact on someones life.
It can be seen everywhere in real life, especially during arguments.
