    Sounds to me like this is exactly what the OP meme is referencing.

    Basic math: square root only of positive numbers and 0.

    Advanced math: square root of anything you want

      You’re missing the point. Math (especially advanced) is about precision and rigor. Writing sqrt of something negative is ambiguous. There are better ways of writing it as explained here https://lemmy.world/comment/18924227

        Except that yes, math is about precision and rigor, and yes, the square root of negative numbers is totally allowed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root#Square_roots_of_negative_and_complex_numbers) and yes, math totally allows for statements with multiple solutions.

        sin(x) = 0 also has infinite solutions and yet it’s totally legal for x to make an equation like that.

      So what’s the square root of your mom then?

        √∞ = ∞

          You mean limit of sqrt(x) when x->+inf = +inf
