How are complex mathematical equations “invented”? As in, how do you come up with the formulas and know definitively the answers to them are correct?
In: Mathematics
Equations are typically *derived* rather than invented. The all ubiquitous **equals** sign being the most important feature; firmly stating that what is on one side of it, is exactly the same as what is on the other side. Use proper substitutions and prior defined manipulations to determine new, and sometimes, easier to interpret equations. This is mathematics. Much of the other stuff I’m reading on here is physics.
