This educashun thing is stupid. Math makes me quit. Sad

EDIT: APRIL FOOLS!

Sorry to hear that, Weasel, but I can commiserate there. I barely, and I do mean barely, squeaked by when I was in college; I passed my final math requirement by a mere 4 points out of 600. That's about 84%. I think.

At what sort of slack college is that a passing grade? Laughing

Weasel: Math is the reason I took a break from it this semester.

Wease, just remember that 90% of the math you learn at school isn't used in the real world Very Happy

If you can add, subtract, and multiply, and read a tape measure, you'll survive.

^^^ don't you live in a shipping can?

What are you studying?

Posted: Fri Apr 01, 2011 9:09 pm

The biggest problem with math is that it is a language. If your teacher doesn't help you understand the language of math, you will be lost.

I struggled and struggled with statistics until that was explained to me...

Then I kept struggling, but I knew why. I don't speak in symbols. Wait, we all speak in symbols. + - = /

Hang in there Weas!!! It's worth it in the end.

Forgot about dividing? Scissors, knives, saws and such are useful!

As a college graduate with a useless degree (anthropology) I say quit. I keep slapping myself I didn't go to trade school.

Then again I'm one of the few non-smokers who tries to convince smokers not to quit. Confused

I like math, what is giving you trouble?

Posted: Sat Apr 02, 2011 3:26 am

I swear I've seen pics of irish's abode and its a shipping can...can't divide that too much... Laughing

Or was that when he was in...

@ Badger, It's a shipping container please, not a can. It means I can just close the doors, get it onboard and sail away Very Happy

Hang in there Wease, it will all make sense eventually, although I've been waiting mumble years for it to happen
