Is there a math concept that never made sense to you? Which one or ones do you wish someone would explain in new ways?

If none of these come close you can mention something as a comment.

Derivatives are fine, integrals are what I hate — I do understand them, but I hate dealing with them, simplifying and all that. They aren't much different, but for some reason they make my brain boil 🤯
Also limits are kinda disgusting 😅

@m0xee @futurebird integration is horrible in general. The fact that there are trivial functions that do not have a primitive that can be expressed through standard functions is an injustice.

(But how do you dislike limits and not have an issue with derivatives?)

Ha-ha-ha, good question! I think it's something irrational, hard to put into words — all three are related, but it's one of those cases when there is a gang of friends and you like one of them, can't stand the other two, but as they hang out together all the time, you have to tolerate them. Derivatives are my darlings, limits — can bear with them, integrals — eww, yuck! 🤭
