Hmm, during our 3 year Mech course we were told how by the end of the course we would prove that f = -1. When we finished the A Level maths part, we were shown how f = -1 actually could not be so. The tutor then progressed by showing how this was the case.
It took 5 pages of A4 paper to prove it, by using differential intergration and 'J' notation to name a few.
Then to top it off he said and I quote "To apply mathematics to any situation, you simply manipulate what you have by A N OTHER form of equations to achieve the outcome you desire"
In other words, it's a load of horse shit that makes you think mathematicians are clever people while all along they are pen-pushing make believe Alchemists
