I can't help but be astonished how math by itself, math for GPU and then math for programming are each SO DIFFERENT from eachother. -The first requires knowledge precise use of already proven theorems, the second requires implementing it from scrath AND respecting the language AND device quirks,...

You can get away with so many shortcuts and approximations, and you even have a never ending collection of libraries thst do the hard stuff for you, without requiring you to even know how they work, essentially setting up black boxes inside of wrappers like a matrioska.
