<p>omg adidasty i think thats the first math statement on CC i understand! cos means uh female genitalia in farsi (iranian). Lots of persians around me.</p>
<p>BTW: I know the statement means 1</p>
<p>ok that was just sad adidasty
and beramod yes we all know that and it doesnt really require thinking lol</p>
<p>hahahaha!!!! adidasty...hilarious. Math is so easy, sometimes I don't realize how people don't know how to do simple things...then I remember that I suck over in the english/history area.</p>
<p>Same here...but I just suck at English. I never get ****ed at people though if they dont understand (that would be bad since I am a tutor) I just realize that each of us were programmed differently and I try to teach people more about the beautiful art.</p>
<p>I don't get ****ed at people either...I actually help a lot of people in math as well.</p>
<p>It's just hard to understand why it's so difficult for some people (not that I make fun of them). Maybe it's just because I look at math as simply a bunch of formulas and stuff. Once you know the formulas, you can do almost any problem.</p>
<p>In english/history/language you have to learn a lot more information and esp. in english--you have to make up sentences and stuff that attract the readers. I hate that, so difficult for me to write a 2 page essay. That coudl be because the topics are never interesting, though.</p>
<p>EDIT: I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT! haha, Math is better (IMO) because you cannot insert opinon anywhere....the answer is the answer, no ifs, ands, or buts. English--depends on the grader as to whether or not the sentences grip the reader, etc. As a result, I may think that a paper that I write may sound really good, but the teacher may have the opposite opinion. History is boarderline...I like history if I watch it on history channel or just casually read about it, but I don't really like learning it for a test. It's nice to learn it, but not memorize it, if you will. Then, when I am tested on it, I do miserably on it.</p>
<p>You are exactly correct in your reasoning. In English/History there is no definite answer, but in math you have a definite solution and it's easy to back it up.
However, you will never be truly orginal if all you do is follow formulas and never use logic to come about your answers. The truly good math students do not need formulas, but rather they use logic and reasoning to come about their answers. You have to really understand what you are doing in math and why you are doing it to ever be really good at it. Im not saying that you dont do these things. However, of course when you take a test in math you use formula's because you usually have limited time to answer a problem. Basically what im trying to say is just dont memorize the formulas, but actually sit down and think about why a problem is solved the way it is. Then, you will be an excellent math student.</p>
<p>That's exactly why math/science are so boring to me! In English you have a lot more room to play around. It's more fun.</p>
<p>oh..........
I see where you come from when you say that in English you are free to play around, and that is true becuase there is usually no one definite answer, However, the beauty about math and the one answer means that you usually have to implement some brilliant principles in order to come about to a solution. It really tests the human intellect and when you finally come up with a solution the steps you took the get to it are usually brilliant. Mathematics just builds on top of its self, everything is intertwined and sometimes from some seemingly unrelated things,you can come up with something to unify them. Really, to each his/her own. Everyone was programmed differently and that is the beautiful thing. And also the reason why I do math in English.
Haitham</p>
<p>I've finished differential equations :) what's up?</p>
<p>I'm a generation (or two) removed from most posters here, but back in my graduate student days we had bumper stickers that read:</p>
<p>'Operations Researchers do it with models'</p>
<p>I love math because of the same reason that it has a definite answer, but I hate science and english. Science is just stupid in my mind and English is way too objective. I just have no need for myself to study science. I am glad there are people who do, but its not my cup of tea. </p>
<p>I disagree with the assertion about history. History definately has a definite answer. Ask me a question and I will tell you the answer. The answer is subject to interperetation, but there is an answer.</p>
<p>Got another math pickup line. I wish you were x^2 and I as x^3/3 so I could be the area under your curve</p>

<p>Bye, bye credibility!</p>
<p>Whoops meant to say Subjective. English AP stuff running around in my head, and I didn't mean to sound "above all" when I was talking about history, I just meant that it is easy to look up the date of the Battle of Concord whereas it is not easy to look up the meaning of a Keats poem.</p>
<p>intg(10 to 13)(2x)dx ??</p>
<p>Ok we are dorks so what...</p>
<p>its odd he mentioned 42 as the answer to the light year question, whats that book where the answer to the universe is 42?</p>
<p>Of course history is fact...what I meant was that the information is harder to learn (IMO). So I grouped it in with the english/language because those are my weak areas. I divided the subjects into two categories: stuff I enjoy (and as a result do well in), and stuff I do not enjoy (as a result, I don't do as well in them).</p>
<p>These math lines are pretty damn funny</p>
<p>Edit:
Coincidence or not, two of my favorite teachers in my school are like the "proud to be a geek" type of people. They are hilarious, yet are able to teach, while provoking the "geekiness" in everyone, sort of speak. Hahahaha. Great times.</p>
<p>One more pickup line, "My love for you is like the slope of a concave up function because its always increasing"</p>
