I took to just writing out the problem and fudging up a little bit of what looks like work then dropping answer in because man teachers don't have time check the work on every question for their whole class.
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

I hate math because I am an abstract thinker.

Doesn't work with math. Math is about as concrete and unmutable as it gets.
For everyone who says that they could get the problems without showing their work and they just had mean teachers, you are retarded
nobody cares how easy it is for you to do problems in your head; to be a mathematician you have to show your fucking work
seriously, this is like taking an english class, only writing introduction and conclusion paragraphs on essays, and then whining when the teacher fails you

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.

I did not, nor do I currently want to be a mathematician
Math class became much more tolerable once I realized I could write a TI-BASIC program for all the mundane bits.
Perform the quadratic formula and get the two X-intercepts plus the vertex in less than thirty lines? Yes.
they don't let you do that anymore
i used to get yelled at in math class because i always found the easiest way to do things and would get most of it down in 4-5 lines (i skipped a lot of writing because of this method) and i got F's all the time because i arrived at the answer "in the wrong way"
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.

showing your work in a math class is important because you're not learning answers, you're learning critical processes.
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.
I'm thinking of going back to school for mechanical engineering. The highest math i have learned was basic algebra 7 years ago. I stand on the brink of disaster.

And you must realize that is a stupid analogy
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

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

Showing your work isn't at all important for a lot of people until the higher levels of mathematics. All that showing your work did for a lot of us in basic algebra and arithmetic is drill in an association of meaninglessness and futility with showing our work.

Think of it like simple arithmetic.

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.
