Math

[MusicMends]

Screw parents, I just got chewed out for having a 62% in Geometry. They dont understand that only 2 kids a year pass this guys class cause hes a douchebag, hes an ex army sergant. Fuck Him and Fuck them

Im serious on the 2 kids thing

[theused999182]

im sorry.


i am SOOOOOOO glad i dont have to take math anymore.

[pUnKrOcKgIrL917]

yeah, math is for satan.

Math is the devil. I have a learning disorder called discalcula... it's like dyslexia but for math. I get numbers mixed up all the time, and it takes me several pieces of paper and many hours to do one math assignment. I've been in the same math level for years, but no one diagnosed me for it for a long time because my school system hates the unpopular people. Finally, when I started college, my current math teacher helped me pinpoint the disorder, and I have started to help the situation. It's getting better.

i hate math now. when i was little math used to be my favorite subject. i loved doing time tests and all that stuff because it seemed like math, but with a point. it was kinda like a game to me. now i cant stand it. it just seems so pointless and is stuff youll never use and i just spend all period counting down the minutes to the bell.

[MaybeOneDay]

Shit dude, that sucks. Sorry.

Anyways, I hate math with a passion. It's easily my least favourite subject and I'm on the brink of failing. Hopefully I can start doing better.

[YearsGoneBy]

even though math is my best subject it blows more than jenna jameson...i hate it

It's okay to hate math, but it's far from useless. I find that the higher I advance, the more I find connections between math and other disciplines. For example, the three dimensional vector cross multiplication we're doing now in multivariable calculus has applications to organic chemistry and Newtonian physics.

What the fuck does that mean? If you don't learn all the crap that seems useless to you now, you're not going to understand it when you start applying it to things that do matter to you. Like television, airplanes, birth control, and music.

For you shitty poets and song writers out there, there's a complex math associated with how people appreciate literature. It has something to do with the Fibonnaci sequence and intricate syllable counts. What the fuck does that mean?

You're a better writer if you understand the mechanics of writing and think about the suicidal bullshit you're about to put on paper before you actually do it.

In short, math is everywhere, and it's totally impossible to try to live outside of it because you don't like it. It's fine if you don't, but I think it's better to try and understand it, because it'll give you a better understanding of pretty much everything.

And the kid who says his professors fails all but two of his student is a fucking liar. There's no way a teacher would be allowed to keep his job at any school - public or private - if that happened. Go open a vein, dick head.

...he's right.

[DriveThruRawker]

yeah math sucks especially when my parents are on my back for my math grades.

[blackandblueNFG]

yeah.. wait til you guys get to calc. it seriously makes no fucking sense... its just like there to do....and you dont use it for ANYTHING!!!!

my parents just checked my progress report. C+ in math:( thats my lowest grade

[piebaldkid42]

my parents just checked my progress report. C+ in math:( thats my lowest grade so they werent too psyced about that

[13th hour]

Thankfully, Im done with math now. And I wont take any in college if I get my way. Oh and Nards, you might be right about the teacher thing, but the rest of your post was pretty "iffy". Not everything that you said is true.

[Poor Excuse]

haha i miss progress reports..

what could you possibly miss about them?

[aurora]

We didn't have progress reports this year because our school switched computer systems and it is all messed up ;)

[mirtizzle]

i had to take calculus at a shitty community college to pass with a decent grade. and to take calculus at this shitty community college, i had to take college algebra even though i took calculus in high school (but me pass the ap test? HAH...) AND precalc at uf. at least for 6 weeks, i felt like a math master.. of course i had only been doing that kind of math since 6th grade..

[aurora]

all hail the math whiz of ap.net, you should internet tutor whats-his-face;)

[Alk3DCStars71]

I'm a college freshman, and I'm in prealgebra at my community college. Don't ever take that class, just struggle in college algebra. I'm bored in the class because it's finally clicking for me and now it's too easy, but the college won't let me switch out because I tested so low on my ACT's. But this really blows: When I get ready to transfer to FAU next fall, my math credits won't transfer because no university considers Prealgebra or General Algebra "real math"- they're considered Math Remedial courses. That doesn't make sense. They already have a math lab at my school, so why is my class remedial? If I have to go through another pointless year of math, I'm gonna snap. There is no way I'll last until calculus- I'm watching my high school brother take it and he's going crazy. Damn smartie.

[nards228]

It's not iffy, I just don't have the time to type three thousand papers to explain all the intricate applications. I threw some random things out there (airplanes, birth control) that have pretty obvious mathematical connections - aerodynamics, stereoisometric three-dimensional molecular shape differences, and so on.

As for writing, you can explore that on your own. Read a book that you think flows extremely well (for starters, try some Dr. Seuss). You're going to pick up a lot of mathematical patterns in the sentences - syllable counts, where emphasis is placed, and so on. Then pick up some book that doesn't flow at all (any stream of consciousness literature, basically) and notice how the patterns are essentially all gone.

My point is simply that math is everywhere. And yeah, that guy's a goddamn liar about his teacher.

Stop trying to sound so smart, cockbag. I know where you live!!!!
And anyway...
Math stops being fun when it becomes more about letters than numbers. If you think geometry is tough....have fun in calc 2.

I used to hate math until I discovered that the only thing that was holding me back, was myself. I realized that I was being lazy and I didn't want to put in the necessary time or effort to master math. Now that I'm in college I realize that there is an answer to every problem and if I don't understand something I work at it until it makes sense. I am currently enrolled in a finite mathematics class and I am actually enjoying it.

[worldstheory]

I hate math so bad, but I'm bizarrely good at it. Last year I got like 103%.

Ok, you guys can make fun of me if you want.

[steveo1022]

renard shut the fuck up. all u do is critisize other people. u sit there and called every1 a liar and act like this genious who is smarter than anyone else. if everything people do and say piss u off so much, become the gad damn president or get a lawer and sue every1. untill then dont worry about it. dont go into every post and act lik a douchebag.

I agree with you for the most part, but for christs sake man, learn to type!

[UNcreative86]

hmmm....all i have to say is that i think there might be something wrong with me because i enjoy math. maybe i should see a doctor about this.

lol, just how that was worded made me laugh.

[BleedingMe]

I have an A in Calculus right now, but I still hate math. I'm only trying so hard at it because I want to own my own business and you need to know that shit.

Shockingly, I'm actually doing good in Honors Algebra 2 this year. I sucked at regular Algebra back in the 8th grade. But this year I actually have a 92 average which is pretty good to me. My parents are pushing me way to hard though. It's like, they expect me to be a genious and they have to realize that I'm not. It's like, if your friends get a belly button ring or tattoo and you say to them "But so and so got one, why can't I?" The parents go "We don't care about so and so, we care about you." But when it comes to grades it's like "Well, so and so got an A, why can't you?" Talk about contradicting themselves. I don't think they understand that your brain and a body piercing is two very different things. Your brain is not the same as others, therefore should NOT be compared to. But a body piercing is something almost everyone can do so why not compare right? Do I make any sense at all because I think I lost my point somewhere in there... :confused:
