How does one “invent new maths”? Like Isaac Newton inventing Calculus, or John Napier logs. How does one answer a mathematical question that’s never been answered?
In: Mathematics
It’s basically teaching a tecnique, for example in a world where people only knew addition, I could teach them multiplication, instead of doing 5+5+5 just do 5*3. This is much easier for more advanced calculations, it might not even be useful right away, but maybe in a few years some mathematician will find a use for it
