David Byrne was actually the first person to discover this during a Once in a Lifetime opportunity

When I started algebra in something like 5th grade I had a huge issue with f(x) and the best answer my teacher gave me was that “the equation is a function of x” and couldn’t explain it differently and I couldn’t get over the fact that we are not multiplying whatever f is by X. “If we’re going to set precedent with notation at least be fucking consistent” - 5th grade me probably

I tried to figure it out myself back in high school but the best I came up with is X^2 -->2x because it just fucking does.

I’m a chemical engineer and I now better understand calculus slightly better from this post. I did a whole lot of “okkayyy …let’s just stick to the process and wait for this whole thing to blow over”

I know what they were asking me to do but I never really fully understood everything.
