翻译自How to Use Math Words to Sound Smart

你想过为什么每次和工程师们讲话沟通起来都感觉他们好聪gu明guai的样子。很多什么时候会用上不少数学术业来『装逼』。不过又不仅仅是他们才会用这些,快来学起来~

接下来我们来逐一看看这些词,并且学学怎么使用它~

delta

这两份Snapchat的市场提议听起来都不错,但是他们之间区别是啥?

what’s the delta here?

exponential

our hands-free hand washing app is experiencing massive growth

we’ve got exponential growth 指数级增长

orthogonal

Vegan lunches have nothing to do with getting more expresso machines

That's an orthogonal issue

binary

Either you're going to give us a million dollars or you're not.

I have binary expectations here

high order bit

我们应该在那放上申明(不承诺),不过现在最重要的是我们被起诉了

The high order bit is we're being sued.

3rd quadrant

There's nothing positive about this review we got on Bloomberg.

This review is pretty 3rd quadrant.

t0(tee zero)

I know the app doesn't really work but is it good enough to launch?

Is it good enough for t0?

multivaraiate

We should a/b test calling it "the best app" or "the bestest app"

Let's do a multivaraiate test.

forcing function

If no one clicks on this giant red button then we drop the whole project.

This is our forcing function.

asymptotic

It's like we keep almost keeping money but then we never do.

We've got asymptotic profit.

null

We can't afford to pay this quarter.

Your salary is null.

你今天用了什么数学术语吗?
