It tastes good, what more do you need

But doesn't the nuisance value of having to translate problems from textbook outweigh the benefits?
>>
>>7752961
>problems from textbook
yes all of math has been developped to write textbooks.
In fact the jews control mathematics because they want exclusive rights to textbook publication and sell them to retarded american kids $400 a piece.
To keep selling more, they made them mandatory and are now selling textbooks at the PhD level.

I did a Msci Maths degree in a Russell group university (UK equivalent of Ivy League) and never met RPN once. Is this a US thing?
>>
>>7752989

You never took abstract algebra? The UK has really gone 3rd world...
>>
Because the operator comes last, you have no issues with operator precedence, so there's no need for parentheses.

With regular infix notation, the meaning of an operator depends on a later part of the expression and you have to use the shunting-yard algorithm to parse it instead of a simple stack like with RPN.

Did abstract algebra, no RPN. Mainly group and ring theory.

Thanks for responses, I'm going to play around with RPN and see how it goes

It is superior, just like pic related is superior to amerifat hot-dogs

It's neat for stack-based programming...

Not the reverse one.
