figarofigaro Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 i have never been strong at math. i'm taking the last math class in college i'll ever have to take. now i just have to make sure and pass! :hatred: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAustin Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 one of my boys got paid to take some dudes college algebra class. he got him a B and the dude was freaking out because all he wanted was a C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Morris Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 math was always easy for me, when I was in high school I was a math tutor. Never had any trouble with any of it but then again I think my state was also 46th in edecation at the time so they were not trying at all to give us anything that required real thaught.

count chocula Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 the only math i remeber goes like this: there once was a man with 69 boobs he had 222 many so he went to 51st street and saw doctor X, he ate them all off and left him BOOBLESS. fuck yeah. calculator talk - fresh shit.

shape1369 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Ive got a test in my electrodynamics class tomorrow. Between that and my advanced calc class, I have about as much math as I can handle in my life right now. I spent an hour today listening to a professor derive the prime gradient of a normal vector to a cloud of charge exhibiting dipolar behavior yada yada yada. Only to find out (four pages of notes later) that I can treat the entire situation like a surface charge distribution issue (much easier). The only reprieve I have from this life of math is philosophy of science classes... this semester is intense... edit for punctuation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuse=--action Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 On this subject, I just got a great MOTD when I logged in as root. Two men are in a hot-air balloon. Soon they find themselves lost in a canyon somewhere. One of the two men says, "I've got an idea. We can call for help in this canyon, and the echo will carry our voices to the end of the canyon. Someone's bound to hear us by then!" So he leans over the side of the basket and screams out, "HEEELLLLLOOOOO! WHERE ARE WE?" (They hear it echo several times) Fifteen minutes later, they hear this echoing voice: "HELLOOOOO! YOU'RE LOST!" The shouter comments, "That must have been a mathematician." Puzzled, his friend asks, "Why do you say that?" "For three reasons. First, he took a long time to answer, second, he was absolutely correct, and, third, his answer was absolutely useless." -fuse.

fuse=--action Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I love math, and I don't get how my sister doesn't get it. She's completely different than me. For example, when first learning about trig, I didn't get it because all of the numbers seemed arbitrary. Her, she doesn't get it because she can't visualize the word problems. The numbers aren't even a problem because apparently numbers are always just numbers to her. I don't get it. -fuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saraday Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 i have a hard time visualizing word problems, too.. i try hard and i study a lot, but i just can't get the thinking process down. some people can do it, and some just can't. my grandfather is a physicist/mathemitician and my brother is about to get a degree in physics, minor in math.. i really wish i could grasp this stuff like they do. it's just not so easy for me.

caffeine Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Yeah back in highschool I liked all my math classes, even got an B+ in AP calculus. Then after a 2 year break from math, I take calculus this semester in college and now I'm on the verge of withdrawing to save my gpa. So it looks like summer session is necessary. I knew I shouldve taken the life sciences calculus instead of with the engineers. I don't see why a year of calc is required for medical school anyway. :rolleyes2: I blame alcohol.
