    Math is the only subject that is truly and utterly necessary to be taught in schools.

    (provided you know how to read)

    I have a truly marvelous proof of this proposition that this post is too small to contain.

    Calculating percentages is easy, if you train yourself to do it it should become automatic.

    Well, I meant more advanced math. If you can't average things or multiply, then you're probably screwed! xD

    I actually have fun doing math homework sometimes. No lie! I wish I were better at it

    You can use a centroid to model weighted GPAs

    I like maths, I just start hating it when it gets too complex for me. I hate it at school though, because I didn't grasp some of it straight away and almost failed

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    I liked it enough to do a degree in it.

    Math makes me happy, especially algebraic math. I enjoyed solving complicated math problems, because they're basically just logic puzzles. Intellectual exercizes keep you sharp.

    Anyone remember those "Does .9999...(infinity) = 1" threads? Good times.

    The only subject I enjoy teaching is math. There are, like... real answers. It's pretty awesome.

    Oh god yeah xD

    I like statistics and probability. Pretty much any other type, not a big fan!

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

    One subject they are sure to use countless times.

    WORST MATH EVER. You realize that's only pseudo-math at best, right? God, I hated AP Stat. And statistics was a big part of my political science methods class. *head desk*

    No no, give me real math any day. In AP Calc we'd be given this gigantic pakcet of AP Calc problems and we'd all get together over the weekend to work on it. It was actually fun for me working through complicated derivatives and integrals. Alas, I have forgotten most of calculus now, too.
