the only maths I have to take are calc 1-3, calc 4, differential equations, and linear analysis except some of these class layouts seem to differ on which of those last two I have to take
not that those are the only math-related classes, I mean, I'm raped up the ass with physics classes of every sort from next year on
Don't need the box for your example though, Teefs.
I loved FOIL, but I never understood the product-sum way of factoring a quadratic. I mean, I knew how it worked, since that was how I did it in my head, but I didn't understand their explanation of it.
Outside of the classes where you're learning it, when does one actually use algebra or calculus? I mean, obviously some advanced sciences require it, but really... i don't get it.

Precalc is one of the few classes that I see as having no practical application after school.
That, and earth science. Fuck earth science with a rusty rake.

(P.S. I hate algebra and/or calculus)
P.P.S. I don't know calculus.
U + ME = US
That's addition.
I guess that's what I never get, I mean, i break things down to addition and subtraction. Probably the only variable other than that is fractions which aren't TOO hard but i still don't like em.
It's like, every thing you could ever want to do is just a matter of adding and subtracting different numbers in a certain sequence.

Yeah... I have absolutely no use in understanding how the world around me works!

For three days I went to a teaching conference that was supposed to make me a better teacher. At this conference I learned:
1. Most teachers are morons. At the conference I quite literally heard the following questions:
"What's a blackboard"
"If I'm a 7th grade teacher do you think that will have harder classes than 5th grade"
2. "Educators" speak in an illiterate garbled mess of obnoxious and useless terms. Literal words from the presenter at the conference:
Presenter: "So you really need to scaffold and watch your SIOPs. If you don't unwrap the standards and look at the PPOs you'll be birdwalking and we all know how low that is on Bloom's Taxonomy!
The crowd found this sentence to be hilarious. Lools were had all around.
Way to use a bunch of annoying buzzwords just to make yourself sound smart. You are not a lawyer or doctor and you do not need lingo. Regular human translation of that last piece of crap comment:
"You really need to plan your classes and work on teaching to the state standards. If you don't, it'll be too easy to get off topic and your kids won't learn."
American teachers are depressing, American education is sad. I have more great stories but tl;dr.

it's the really important one
so glad I'm finished with abstract algebra
(the textbooks I used for those courses were called "contemporary abstract algebra" then "non-contemporary abstract algebra")
(those motherfuckers)
not that those are the only math-related classes, I mean, I'm raped up the ass with physics classes of every sort from next year on
the movie is two hours long
they gave us two hours exactly to return the tape before latefees per additional minute
i'm sorry what the library just got ten million to spend on whatever they like and i pay tuition so why are you fucking me in the ass here?
Me too. But probably for a different reason.
We need to make the unions stronger.
DID YOU EVER KNOW THAT YOU'RE MY HERO
maybe some bench presses or something

I wish I had the chance to use algebra more, I'm afraid I'll forget how
Learn how to not give authority figures shit?
Trust me you'll use that particular skill all the time in the real world

this statement is confusing to me

make love to me
awaiting your reply
man someone should vault the one fiddy threads
We're doing intersecting planes and I have NO IDEA WHAT'S HAPPENING.
Just wanted to blow off some steam. I'll figure it out given time.

I feel your pain, but I also relish it. If teachers didn't suck, I would be out of a job.

Then again, I don't claim to know "teh maths".
