Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

trig and algebra are related nicely
sin and cos are represented by equations that use the numbers e and i
therefore tan cot and sec and csc and coth and sinh and cosh and tanh all have algebraic representations
h5 that's what i ended up doing
I'd write my 3-7 lines then just add simple math in the margins above it. easy things like 19x5=95

to be a mathematician you have to prove your fucking work
Now, I had one that was actually pragmatic with working out shit, my algebra 2 teacher. You showed your work, you could get partial credit (cause she could see were you done fucked up). You don't, you either got all or none.
Course when I got to calculus in college, all the work had to be correct or you'd get points off. And I got a D. Fuck Calculus, the only thing that came from it is that I can kinda understand some more xkcd comics than normal people.

that is only true up to calculus
this is my point
guys, I really shouldn't have to explain how retarded you are if you think all that matters in math is getting an answer
You're fucking retarded.
Some people are smart enough to know that 7x8 is 56 without fucking carrying the one.

that's stupid the way you prove that you are right is by proving it
done by going back and solving it in reverse
showing your work is just used to make sure you aren't cheating which is stupid if you can prove it

or should I get chico in here
Anytime we were assigned to write anything fictional, I could crank out pages & pages of quality stuff that the teacher would usually showcase to the next years classes as example work.
Assign me a non-fictional topic to write a huge report on, always on some topic I have absolutely no care for?
Shiiiit I can't even come up with an outline.

I did not, nor do I currently want to be a mathematician
And you must realize that is a stupid analogy

I hate that shit, I've TAed a few courses in math (algebra and calc 1 and 2) as long as someone provides a modicum of logic for how they arrived at their answer (and that answer is correct) I usually let anything slide.
I also have this problem
It is pretty rough

sure, you figured out how to solve a problem your way on these. That's awesome and you should be commended. But a lot of times, you're learning how to come to a solution using a method that is used in many other types of problems, and that needs to be utilized a bunch of times.
sometimes it may have just been your teacher being a dick, but most of the time they knew what they were talking about and were trying to do you a favor, but you were a snot-nosed little teenager that naturally assumed you knew better than any dang old grown-up.

no, I don't realize that at all
the foundations of our systems of mathematics are such that everything must be definitively proved to be correct
I don't care if you want to be a mathematician; you are taking a fucking mathematics class, not an arithmetic class
you may not be a writer, but if you are taking an english class, you still have to write essays
this is the same fucking thing
imagine you are a builder and have to find the length of something so you know how much wood you need you don't need to "show your work" you need to know how much wood you need and that is it
edit: we know how to do the problem rank it just slows you down enormously to do so
were i making up a new theorem i would prove it several ways to prove it
since they want us to find the principals i figure I've already got them and i'm not taking the time to write unnecessary numbers . they already have the answer and so do i

I just didn't understand the process, so I figured out the answer in a way that worked for me. Maybe if I'd had tutoring by someone who could adapt a way to teach me the process in a manner than I understood I'd have caught on to it but public schools yadda yadda
we're talking about math class

Do you all have horrible tendonitis in your writing hands?
JordynNolz.com <- All my blogs (Shepard, Wasted, J'onn, DCAU) are here now!
if you are taking a wood class or an arithmetics class, your teacher is a dick if they are making you show your work
but if you are taking a fucking mathematics class you had god damn better show your work, you fucking twat
the very fact that you could arrive at the answer tends to prove that you knew what you were doing
beyond that, the necessity to prove your work on all of the 50-100 problems you had to do was beyond redundant
remember that time Defender argued with math?

no, but I would like to see this
But not fucking algebra and arithmetic, ya fucks.

the vast majority of the work shown in those subjects is algebra
Guess what arithmetic is.
Guess.
Take a guess.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING IF YOU AREN'T PROVING YOUR ANSWER
YOU FUCKING IDIOTS
OH JESUS FUCK MY BRAIN I AM LEAVING THIS THREAD
GOODBYE, THIS THREAD, YOU ARE FULL OF RETARDS WHO THINK THEY ARE INTELLIGENT BUT IN REALITY DO NOT KNOW ONE GOD DAMN THING ABOUT FUCKING MATHEMATICS
2+2=4
That the equation & solution. No work has been shown because the concept of addition is so strikingly simple that it needs to work. You'd have to do something like make two sets of two hash-marks and let the teacher know that you counted them to find the answer of 4.
Take y=(mx)+b.
his one actually has a formula for solving it but not everyone needs to work through it as depending on your intellect it may be almost as easy as 2+2.
Show me your proof and method for the equation 0+1.
I am talking about the use of math in every day work
you don't have to show your work because it doesn't matter as long as you are right.
i was right and i understood the method. i could show my work when asked but to do it for 50 problems is stupid and silly.
almost as stupid and silly as relating showing your work in math to writing essays in english
god it's like talking to a 5 year old
In the words of the ancients, one should make his decision within the space of seven breaths. It is a matter of being determined and having the spirit to break through to the other side
really, because if you can work out the problem in your head, and arrive at the correct answer, then I'm pretty sure you do
could you stop being a snot-nosed little shit for once please
confusing grade school mathematics and a pure mathematics course at the college level is pretty dumb
you are pretty dumb
Using his english analogy, it's like doing sentence diagramming on essays as you write them.
This here? This is a declarative sentence. This here? That's a predicate.

I was looking into some engineering programs last year, most of them required 3 semesters of calc., and only a few 300 level math classes. Stuff like, Differential Equations (kind of like algebra and calc mixed, relatively easier than 2nd semester calc.). Most of the upper level math classes you'll take will be only in the applied maths section. And two semesters of calc. based physics.
For the first two years of your undergrad, generally all you have to do is 2 semesters of calc and physics, then you apply for the engineering program.
First semester of calc., you'll be taxing your algebra skills (the calc stuff is new anyway, no sense worrying about that yet), maybe take a refresher algebra course if you don't think you're up to it.
