I love math. None of that "creativity" or "opinion" bull**** involved

My English teacher last year was superb, we actually wrote stuff of consequence. This year we wrote tiny poems and ****, and never once did anything more than 2 pages. (unless you count some BS magazine project)

[Spicious]

And then they teach it all again in college

And of course you find out everything from school was taught poorly or incorrectly, in calculus at least.

I just find it pathetically easy. I love math. None of that "creativity" or "opinion" bull**** involved

Unless you're trying to prove something new.

[colecampbell666]

What're you trying to prove, Mr. Satan?

[Unknown Target]

Math ****ing hurts.

[tinfoil]

Math is boring as hell. It actually makes my head hurt.

[castor]

Well let it. Its the most powerful tool humankind has in its hands, it should have some effect on you

[tinfoil]

Fine.
Why don't you do 3 pages of calculating the surface area and volume of compound solids that look like they were put together by a 5 year old with blocks, balls, toilet paper rolls and effing superglue

[colecampbell666]

It's easy.

[tinfoil]

... but tedious and boring as hell - at least science is interesting

[CP5670]

I don't blame you. As I said, they don't teach any interesting math in grade school, or in many undergraduate classes for that matter. Real math actually has little in common with what they do at that level.

I'm still trying to pluck up the courage to start learning 3D Maths, it's been nearly two decades since I last looked at a maths problem....

[NGTM-1R]

Kara is best at maths.

At least, for quotes about maths.

[colecampbell666]

I thought kara was a chemist?

[haloboy100]

Math and Science go hand and hand.

[colecampbell666]

Not really. Sure you need to know math for science, but not as in-depth as say, a mathematician.

[Spicious]

Care to try some modern physics without a good grasp of maths?

[colecampbell666]

No. I'm talking about chemistry, which kara has a degree in.

[CP5670]

It depends on what exactly you're doing in chemistry. You may be right about experimental work. On the other hand, I know some people working in theoretical and computational chemistry, which is all based on PDEs and numerical methods for solving them.

[Flipside]

You'll certainly learn how to play around with the number 6.02 x 10²³
