    When I was a physics undergrad, I was in differential equations class.There were about 15 students. The professor was a mathematics professor who taught way above the standard level and way beyond the textbook. He rarely ever turned to look at the class.
    There were about 5 physics majors, 9 engineers, and one math major who sat in the front row and always appeared to be asleep with his head on the desk. The professor would start lecturing and lose about one student every 2 minutes until we were all looking at each other shrugging. Then professor would ask a question. Not turn around, just ask. No one would respond and he would repeat the question. Then say “anyone? Anyone?” in the much parodied style of professors.
    This would go on for an uncomfortably long period of time, then the math kid up front would suddenly sit bolt upright, give the correct answer, then lapse down onto the desk, apparently asleep again.
    I will never forget that class, lol.

In face, space of functions of at most countable nonzero values defined with the dot product as sum (x in R ) f(x)g(x) is also Hilbert

      Math is a language and not every word has to be a noun, nor does every sentence have to reference real possibilities to be useful.
      You should use whatever words you want, however you want.

    The class was DiffEQ, but at the beginning of the course, my professor took count of how many different majors there were -- about half were engineering, maybe a quarter were physics, the rest were a mix bag of math (we had specializations, so even then it broke up even more), and a few actuarial science (ActSci) majors.
    After taking count, in a thick Ukrainian accent, he said, "Take a good look around you, more than half of the physics and engineering majors will drop or fail this class. About a quarter of the applied and pure (math) majors with drop and change majors."
    Kid in the back raises his hand and asks, "But sir, what about stats and ActSci?"
    I swear it was like he was waiting for this question. He smiled and said, "Stats and ActSci are under no illusions about how difficult the course is and how well they'll do in here. How do I say this," (I shit thee not, this is what he said), "Physics and Engineering think they are, I believe you say it, hot shit, until they get here."
    That first day of class formed a core memory of college for me. (He was also not wrong on how the class changed by the end of the semester.)

I thought I was just bad at math until I started doing that and then I got things right for a change, although I still have to be careful with signs.

      Also, the sequence space l2 is a Hilbert space as well, and it involves no integration at all.

      High level math has very little calculations unless it’s within “applied mathematics”. Outside of applied maths, it’s all theoretical or abstract. Pretty much generalizing statements so much that you can’t assume basic properties you thought you could like how a number times 0 is 0. Or even if 1>0. Maths is all about proving those statements until you build up as high as you can.
      The best part about it, maths can never be wrong because it is based off of full logic and as little assumptions as possibe. You can have a proof be several pages with no concrete “real numbers” involved.

    Wow I’ve never watched a video right after it was uploaded... I’m so buried in Class Mech homework I’m literally watching physics videos as soon as I wake up to remind myself it’s still fun. Thanks for the joke videos!!

    "Boundary terms are always zero." :P . I'm personally past that point though. In GR you got to worry about boundary terms.

    My electrostatics professor the other day, in a quiz on Laplace's equation and boundary conditions, claimed that "all PDEs can be solved by separation."
    It was presented as a "correct" statement in a multiple-choice list, and consequently we were docked for omitting it.
