Why?? Without algebra we wouldn't have math and without math we wouldn't have nerds to make fun of.

@RenFur look into Sumerian mathematics.

No algebra, yet they managed to invent a pretty workable version of π with their Sexagesimal number system.

That base is what all our clocks work off of. Base 60.

See as well sumerian sundial clocks.

@DeWayfarer

That's very interesting. If I knew what you were talking about, even more interesting I suspect. 😂

Seriously, did you study Math or History post high school?

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@RenFur both! Was on the history class model UN club. 😆
Minored in math in college!

@DeWayfarer Did you graduate?

I entered University in Honors Math & Economics. For the life of me, I don't know why. I ended up HATING both. I should've gone to Humber College to study Film & Television.
