GKSB Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I greatly dislike any form of Maths other than Stats, and that's because I'm stuck with them for Biology. Rock on Bio majors? The math we use in chemistry is a little more fun than abstract math as well, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inactive Account Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Looks like my hard abstract math'o'doom class might improve. One of the TA's gave the lecture today. He was a better lecturer than either of the professors... yeah, there's something weird going on there. A weird thing happened though. So the previous lecture had been on generating functions. It was given really badly, and the powerpoint did not help at all. So I ended up turning one of the slides into a demotivator. The TA used the demotivator as a lecture slide. Hilarity ensued. I sort of curled up in my seat and tried to be invisible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fayt Zelpher Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 :D I hate most of Pre-Calc. Algebra II was fun though. :) Eh, hang in there. It gets better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Odinson Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Meh, Math is about the only subject I'm consistently good at. And I do find math very interesting. Especially Algebra and Calculus. And as much as I hate geometric proofs (it damages my hand more than me punching a tree), I love algebraic proofs. So much fun. But I'm weird like that.

Freohr Datia Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Well, I'm an economics major, which is little more than applied mathematics. And I don't know how far you've gone in math, but the real fun starts when you get to calculus 1. At least I think so. Hold in there miss Freohr, you'll find some math you like sooner or later. P.S. what does the XD emoticon mean? I honestly don't know... :( Aw I'm sorry this is so late =( Well...... at least I could hope I can enjoy calculus... =] XD means I'm laughing.

Don't worry. Once you get through the dirty work of all the precalculus knowledge, it gets better. Okay. I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HongLei Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 The only purpose math exists is to make videogames and for Fire Emblems battle system to kill enemies. Think of it this way no math = no FE ... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messy mike Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I actually love calculus. I'm taking AP Calc BC right now, and while my teacher is an idiot, I find it really interesting and way more practical than I thought it would be. Oh, and FE math. That's my favorite part of debating, working through all the numbers. Much more so than the actua llogic, which is why I have more fun debating FE than any real life issues.

Inactive Account Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 I still kind of hate the math course they're making me take for my CS degree as the professors are horrible at teaching it, but at least the TAs have a sense of humor; one of my answers on the exam I just took had a postscript of "and that's why washing machines are evil" and I got away with it. I think many people hate math because few people can actually teach it. My profs right now are extremely smart (to the point of being a problem when they can't fathom how someone wouldn't understand a concept that we find hard and they find basic) but they're terrible at teaching the material. And so I find myself loathing the class. I still love calculus though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
