Wow, I thought this thread was about meth for so long. :Oo:
Anyway, I got up to the horseshoe & then my brain melted. Mathematiques and I have never really been able to get along. I have always tried hard to be able to understand, but I just don’t seem to have the brain for it. Like, no matter how slow I go, I always find it extremely easy at the start, and then end up exploding on a brick wall.
One time I cried when I had to do division.
Maths is like a foriegn language to me and Im not even into the really difficult stuff yet. Its starting to get scarier, though xD
Ive never been good with Maths, I remember in primary school crying over Fractions. I just couldn't get my head around them.
Im just starting my Maths GCSE years and it sucks that my year group is the last to do Maths coursework ;________;
Why did the person do it in pen? You're not supposed to use pens!
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
In calculus my senior year of high school, we had a full-period (45 minute) test that consisted of two questions. I was the only one who finished early (and by like 3 minutes).Originally Posted by Faris
Now I'm afraid to take calculus next year
When my grade 10 math teacher told the class that we'd need more than one page to solve just one question, my brain died.
I liked most math classes, but this still amused me. I also would never major in math.
WTF? That was why I gave up math even before I started making that stuff
It looks like faux-calculus for the purpose of humor. At first glance it seems to be a rotational calculation around a non-axis line, but there's no reason for it to use silly symbols like omega as far as I know. Also, I'm not used to there being integrals of summations--it seems a little redundant. Then again, I haven't taken calculus in a year and might be a little rusty. =/ Right now I'm in Statistics (bore of bores; at least calculus was interesting).
I thought so too, since integrals are defined as a summation over a contrinuous distribution (I think)
But then I thought differentiation under the intergration sign was silly... how wrong I was when that came up in my maths lectures last week... I'm glad I'm not doing a degree in maths though, but physics is mostly maths anyway...
In England, all maths is done on grid paper.
Differentiation? Do you mean derivative?
Integrals of derivatives are useful because of that F(b)-F(a) theorem (I forget what it's called).
Graph paper is unAmerican.In England, all maths is done on grid paper.
Definitely. I used graph paper only a handful of times in high school.
I didn't have to use that much paper with quadratic stuff :\Now I'm afraid to take calculus next year
When my grade 10 math teacher told the class that we'd need more than one page to solve just one question, my brain died. It was only quadratics too. =(
But the picture is funny~
Yeah all your exercise books in England are done on Graph paper. Though we tend to just call it math paper and Graphpaper is the paper with all the 1x1 mm squares that has the heavier 1 x 1 centimeter square grid marked on it.
Sucks.
Nope, I mean differentiation under the integral sign. (Apparently its an easier method of solving complex integrals by differentiating the integrand with respect to a new variable and then integrating that with respect to the original variable, as opposed to integration by parts.)Differentiation? Do you mean derivative?
Integrals of derivatives are useful because of that F(b)-F(a) theorem (I forget what it's called).
I miss those books. In GCSE I used to colour the squares in the back pages in with alternating colours until I had a chessboard like pattern.
Actually Math was my favourite lesson!!!:chuckle:
