EFF MATH!!

[dinosaurateme]

Don't let Frankie aka samiksha do your homework. you'll fail, like i did.

[leo01g]

math didnt really get hard till i had to learn lagrange multipliers THOSE WERE TOUGH! I remember my asshole professor gave us this really hard question on a midterm and then just said "Well I kinda knew no one was going to get it right i just wanted to see how you guys would approach a problem like this"

[Aurgasm]

i speak 5 languages and math isn't one of them.. beyond Calc 1 that is.

hahahahaha sucker.

[cansei de ser sexme]

math is still easy for me.

[dorkfish]

I almost moved to Russia to pursue my love of mathematics.

[marooko]

dont you mean gymnastics, or poor nuclear technology?

[JSam67]

I like music far too much not to enjoy math.

[betao]

The worst fucking subject of all time. My absolute enemy since grade school, and the main obstacle between me and a degree. I cannot think of many things I hate more than math. I'm not even in college math and im drowning (along with the rest of the class). I dont care about exponents, fractions/decimals, division, etc. I simply could not care less. It will never ever apply in my life and I wish I didnt have to take it




This isn't meant to piss off the elite, trust me.

I always used to believe that, regardless of it's difficulty. I've always asked myself "why am I learning this, i'll never do this after school", but then I finally realized why exactly you learn it.

Learning advanced math (math beyond early years of high school imho) isn't supposed to really teach you directly what it does. For instance, you're right; you'll probably never have to find the derivative of a complex function in real life (key word being probably). But that isn't what you're supposed to get out of it. I think it's supposed to indirectly teach you problem solving skills that you can apply elsewhere. Those tough classes and painful formulas all teach you how to solve complex problems. That is what you're supposed to get out of it, methinks.

I may be wrong, but it's just my take on it. I'm not a big fan of math, but can sorta understand why we learn it.

Math is sucks. Grammers where its at!

[dorkfish]

nah, math. the state university in st peterburg would've let me dick around with probability theory and theoretical cybernetics and i would have written a crowd pleasing book about number theory.

instead I moved to San Francisco.

[menikmati]

I enjoy math rock.

for a minute i didnt realize you were joking.

i hope you are joking...

This is so true. Ive taken trig, stats, and now im in calculus. I probably won't use a large majority of what I learn, but I still enjoy math becuase of the way it teaches you to solve problems.

spot on. it's an exercise. most of what you do at the gym you never need to do in real life either.

I enjoy math rock.

I never understood that name.

[Aurgasm]

this thread sucks.


a fucking math thread. come on

[MeowMixer]

for a minute i didnt realize you were joking.

i hope you are joking...

Really?

[boarderwoozel3]

I had the same reaction :/

The language class I'm in is tough.

[Aurgasm]

I had the same reaction :/

The language class I'm in is tough.

what class?

[boarderwoozel3]

Understanding Language. We started with the form and structure class words in excruciating detail and are now using that base to cover phrase structure and transformational grammar.

[Aurgasm]

oi...


are you a linguistics student?

[boarderwoozel3]

Nope, journalism. It will definitely improve my writing.

[Aurgasm]

It certainly will.

multimedia skills will make you an asset though, trust me.

[boarderwoozel3]

That's what I'm banking on. Even though print journalism is going the way of the dodo.

[sbessiso]

I just don't care. It's way too difficult and stressful for me. I'm not even in college math

This is funny though, I had class yesterday and we had a math quiz. By the end of it I counted 22 heads. Out of those 22 there was one C, one D, and the rest Fs! He was soo mad at us

[TomAz]

Math is beauty. Math is purity. Math is not subject to interpretation; it is not a social construct; it just is. The rules of mathematics are the same regardless of where you are or what culture you're from or how you write it down. It's one of the core elements of being.

[Boourns]

MATH POWER!

Yeah, my school sent me to the local math olympics a few times...have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons, too.

[rskapcat]

I always did well in math classes, even my college ones. And I always thought of linguistics as the "math" of language. Yeah, I'm a nerd.

Your class must be held in the portable buildings next to the football fields.

it was a joke really.

that sounds pretty intense. what are you doing in SF if you dont mind me asking.
