In langage that don't use the latin alphabet, how do you write math ?

In arabic or in japanese for exemple, how do you name variables ? How do you use the notation dy/dx ? Does it make sens for you to use se sigma for the sum ?

Where can I learn maths online as a guy with zero knowledge?

So unfortantly I grew up in some insane cult where they don't teach you anything non-religious, including math.

Just left the cult a few months ago (currently 19)

My actual passion is science and specific astrophysics, a career which lives on math daily.

I'm a very intelligent person and a very good student, I just really have zero knowledge about math

Any online course / youtube channel for people without learning disabillities teaching everything from the beginning?

How do you solve this?

This one question has quite literally been having me pulling my hair out.

sin^2(x) = cos^2(x), solve for all solutions in the interval [0, 2pi)

So I did sin^2(x)-cos^2(x)=0,
then sin^2(x) - (1-sin^2)=0,
leaving me with 2sin^2(x)-1=0

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to factor this and get the solutions. Help?

Why does the x turn negative

I understand how to get the vertex, but I don’t understand why it becomes negative because I thought absolute numbers were positive unless theirs a negative sign before the absolute lines but both are negative.
