So.............who's the weird guy in YOUR math class?

<p>I've made an observation about every math class I've been in. I've noticed that in every math class, there's always that one GUY who thinks he knows it all. Some of them even go to the extent of proclaiming to be "geniuses" or "math gods". For example, in my current math class, there's this guy that just likes to blurt out the answers while everybody's still trying to figure it out. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I envy this guy or something because I usually figure out the problems waaaaaaay before the class figures it out on the board but I keep the answer to myself because people are trying to learn and in a learning process, people actually have to figure out the answers themselves before they can understand the problem. What's really annoying is that while the teacher is teaching, this guy is always trying to acknowledge the teacher's answer like he knows more than the teacher or something. He's always blurting out phrases like, "Yep", "That's right", "That's correct". Sometimes, I feel the urge to just yell out, "Shut the fuque up":mad:</p>

<p>.......................so, do you guys have or have you had anybody like that in your math classes?</p>

<p>there are a couple in my math class. it drives me crazy. one just likes to sit there and talk about random things and how easy the class is, the other is just strange. but they both seem to think that they're the teacher.</p>

<p>Me . :D</p>

<p>I'm in standard math, so no one is like that. I'd say i'm the closest to it, minus the weird part.</p>

<p>There's a guy like that in all my Comp Sci classes... he's freakishly brainy, and he's an 18 year old junior in college.</p>

<p>I had one of those in my math class last year. Every now and then, he would recite the first 100 or so digits of pi because he thought it made him look smart. The rest of us found it annoying. This year luckily no one really fits that description.</p>

<p>There's this one kid in my school who thinks he is god. Almost everyone else thinks he is god as well. He doesn't work well in a group at all, is annoying, people don't like him when they actually talk to him, and he is extremely stubborn and arrogant. It's a shame because he is actually amazing at math, but he will never come to anything due to his lack of American common sense (he's from china...) and communication skills. I rival him in math, and I was once in his class in physics. Whenever we would work in groups to solve some problems and then do some experiment, he ALWAYS <em>HAD</em> to have it his way (which was always some weird idea which nobody would have ever came up with, way more complex than it really had to be... he never liked doing things as simple as they could have been done, grr)... So sometimes the rest of the group would force him to either leave or do as the group wants to do it. He sucks at trying to explain anything. He never allowed anyone to talk to him and tell him anything when we were trying to solve a problem. So, the rest of us usually backed off of him. He thinks he is the smartest person to have walked the planet as well... The programming teacher and one of the math teachers believes the same thing. </p>

<p>Oh, and dubisteinschuh, I wrote on the board the first 100 digits of pi on pi day last year, lol... That was the only time I ever did it though, because it was pi day. I memorized some digits that morning and can still recite the first 100 digits... will come in useful next pi day!</p>

<p>When is Pi day? I'm almost at my goal. Maybe I should recite. :)</p>

<p>At least I don't have a weird guy in my math class. . . in fact I don't have any guys in any of my classes. . . all girls' school</p>

<p>Speaking of people saying the answers while working on a problem, my chem teacher actually does that quite a bit while we are working- it kind of ruins the surprise of finding the right answer.</p>

<p>I know pi is cool and all. . .but why memorize all of that?</p>

<p>Chaos, it's March 14th- don't foget the first three digits!!! 3-14</p>

<p>Sorry, that was a joke. I forgot the sarcastic eye roll. :p
It's fun, as a test of memory. If you keep at it, about 200 digits\hour. ^_^</p>

<p>I was sure you knew, but I couldn't help myself. . . no one really does that at my school, even the "math" people. I think I'd prefer the periodic table, since it would help me with AP chem. . .</p>

<p>lol, Katia11.</p>

<p>I used to sing the elements to "We didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel.</p>

<p>And memorizing element masses helps SOOO much with finding moar masses (I hate having to look up a mass in the periodic table!!!)</p>

<p>Well, I'm a girl. I resent that you feel there is always a weird 'guy'. But I forgive you.</p>

<p>They don't call me the Human Calculator for nothing.</p>

<p>.-_-.</p>

<p>There is a serbian senior in my pre-calc class. He always has the answer before even the TEACHER can solve the problem. And he complained when he got a 97% on his report card.</p>

<p>Amazing what European education does to you.</p>

<p>Yep. Evan and Sean. Those kids are...phew. Of course, they're both also a year above me.</p>

<p>Sean is weird in that he pays no attention in class and pulls 'A's. Then again, if that was the qualification for "weird", I'd be weird too (weird girl); haven't made it through a single class period yet without falling asleep at least once.</p>

<p>Evan is weird in that he likes DDR, like me.</p>

<p>Boy, I've just succeeded in proving that I'm weird, didn't I? Didn't think of it that way...</p>

<p>I have had The "Guy" in my math classes for years. Two years ago it was The "Guy" and The Girl, that was interesting. I was mad they never got into a fist fight, would have been funny.</p>

<p>I'm taking math at a community college, and there was one girl in my class who's in high school who fit that description...then she decided to take the class at the local state university instead (guess our class wasn't good enough for her).</p>
