👉 Annoying math often involves convoluted proofs or formulas that seem to have no practical application, making them feel like a puzzle with no clear solution. For instance, consider the concept of non-standard analysis, which introduces infinitesimals—quantities smaller than any positive real number but not zero—in a way that feels counterintuitive and mathematically cumbersome. The rigorous definition of these infinitesimals, involving limits with these tiny numbers, can lead to proofs that are both lengthy and difficult to follow. Additionally, some mathematical constants or identities, like Euler's identity (e^(iπ) + 1 = 0), while beautiful and profound, can feel frustratingly abstract and disconnected from everyday applications, making them hard to grasp or appreciate.
