    It's the only non-basic math that seems practical and interesting to me. You're my polar opposite, Raistlin MacKenzie! My Dr. Wily, my King K. Rool, my Soup Nazi. I'm assuming your last name is MacKenzie because a lot of movies seem to have MacKenzies in them these days.

    And probably the most useful class for the kids, eh?

    One subject they are sure to use countless times.
    Sixth grade math, yeah.

    The AP Stats class came in while I was in precalculus and sang a Statistics version of Jingle Bells to us today :</>D!

    Math is the best area of study ever. :P Also, the mention of AP brings forth an irresistable urge to brag about my 5 on the AP Stats test. There, I did it.

    I wanna major in either statistics or general math in college.
    ^That's how much I like it.
    Buuuuut, I'm not sure what career it could lead to besides... math teacher. :O?

    I've never been any good at math, and I'm screwed when it comes to doing any non-simplistic equations sans calculator.

    I decided to give it a chance again with Statistics this semester, and I failed it so badly that I never want to take a math class again (then again, I have to pass at least one for my major...).

    I really wish I was good at math, though. However, numbers and I just don't mix.

    I hated math back in school, but oddly enough it was my best subject.

    Knowledge in math allows you to increase your problem solving skills (in areas related to math), thus streamlining your solutions and freeing up time for better things.

    For example I'm trying to figure out how much better it is to get 500 000$ right now, or 50 000$ a year for 20 years.
