OH fuck. Doesn't even know 5th grade algebra. Starts out with 1x1 = 1. Now subtract one from both sides. Then you get (1x1) - 1 = 0 which is true you moron. Throwing more money at inner city schools isn't going to do anything to fix this level of stupid.
"Howard studied chemical engineering at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn until he fell out with one of his professors over the answer to the 1x1=1 conundrum." from the article above. No you mean he attempted to study engineering which was waaaaay over his head and was let in via affirmative action even though he couldn't have realistically passed elementary school. This is now the poster boy for me saying Affirmative Action must end or we are all fucked.
That's not even algebra. He doesn't understand multiplication on a fundamental level. He doesn't understand that multiplication is repeatedly adding things.
1 x 1 = 1
1 x 2 = 1 + 1
1 x 3 = 1 + 1 + 1
He doesn't understand that's what multiplication represents. His K-12 education failed spectacularly.
"How can it equal one? If one times one equals one that means that two is of no value because one times itself has no effect. One times one equals two because the square root of four is two, so what's the square root of two? Should be one, but we're told its two, and that cannot be."
One times one equals two because the square root of four is two, so what's the square root of two? Should be one, but we're told its two, and that cannot be.
If a math teacher ever told anyone that the square root of 2 is 2, that math teacher needs to be fired.
To be fair, Abstract Mathematics and Abstract Algebra is a thing, and has practical use in mathematics and the real world, however, that doesn't appear to be what Terryology is.
Black people have had their own version of math since Terrence Howard discovered that 1 x 1 = 2 and created 'Terryology'.
I'm not joking: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/terrence-howard-thinks-1x1-2-has-a-secret-system-called-terryology-and-spends-17-hours-a-day-making-10502365.html
If you want to laugh even harder, here is his "proof" that 1*1=2
Not only can he not do 3rd grade math, but he also can't use Microsoft word.
If there was ever a time for an LMAO, this is it.
I went past laughing and just stared at my screen in awe for a few minutes.
No. No. No, Terrence. No.
This is flat Earth all over again
I do not believe the earth is flat. However, flat earth doesn't approach this level of ridiculousness.
I have one quarter in front of me. And I have one of it. Therefore, I have 1 quarter.
1 * 1 = 1
Haha, you're right. It's a million times worse. Post Modernism is the root of the disease

And yet he still got accepted into an engineering program.

Hey welcome to the Institute of English and Literature young man.
Maybe he just went crazy. Drugs?
Teachers matter.
He seems not to know the difference between multiplication and addition.
If a math teacher ever told anyone that the square root of 2 is 2, that math teacher needs to be fired.

So far as I can tell, that's just abstract in the sense that it doesn't rely on real world objects, just the numbers themselves.
Abstract mathematics is true and useful within some context, is probably the simplest way to explain it.
Explain.
Sure, it’s easy. Just have a basic understanding of addition, and only addition, and then try to cram multiplication into it backwards.
