The "I hate Math" thread

**Erwin Rommel** · October 02, 2007, 05:35 AM

here you can rant the futility in comprehending calculus, algebra, trigonometry and all that bull crap!

anyone share my opinion??

**Gary88** · October 02, 2007, 05:41 AM

my maths lessons this year have all been really easy so far (meaning yesterday) but i still hate them

**TAG** · October 02, 2007, 05:42 AM

Yes I HATE math...but fortunately I'm over with school.

**Erwin Rommel** · October 02, 2007, 05:42 AM

they are useless coz computer will be so advance we don't need to do all the computations!

It was such a relief to not having math all the three years before I graduated.
I only had it the first year fortunately.
It saved my life.

why? what the hell was your course?

I'm not too good on the advanced math and plus its boring.

I read some Electrician course (which has maths, in different form), but I choose the alignment in the second year which happened to have less maths.

they very worthwhile, a calculator can do any computation the average person will ever need but you still need to be able to operate it. whats the use in having a super computer that can do any mathematical operation if you don't know what its doing or why?

I have no idea what 'math' is, but boy do I hate maths.

I am telling you all right now. Get over your hate of math, do what I could not. You NEED math to do anything in today's world. I am a history major. No math, right? No, you need to take math anyway to graduate. You'll need science courses, nearly all of which have a heavy math portion.

This is coming from a man who is currently failing Statistics due to not going to class ever.

WHY FUZZ

That's why we have people who enjoy math.
Personally I hate algebra, and I don't understand it either. I only know that a+a equals a2.

**Enemy of the State** · October 02, 2007, 10:08 AM

I hate mathematics too. I just forget everything after the test, and I barely get through that. I have no idea how I'm going to pass the exams :hmmm:

**HansDuet** · October 02, 2007, 06:56 AM

I hate the damned matemathics... barely got through from last course.

**~Beren~** · October 02, 2007, 07:59 AM

I HATE math...

**molonthegreat** · October 02, 2007, 10:19 AM

The most thing in math im never gonna use its just crap but there are other subjects as well which is totally uneccesary.

**fieldmarshal** · October 02, 2007, 10:21 AM

I think when people say "I hate Math" i doubt they talking about basic algebra. Ill be more specific, i hate Differential Equations, not only i dont get most of it, most of my engr classes are full of it.

**Armfelt** · October 02, 2007, 10:33 AM

My previous school had much higher standards in math education. Due to that math is quite easy easy in my new school. It's still boring as hell though.

**~~Magic Man~~** · October 02, 2007, 11:19 AM

Yeah i hate maths too, managed to scrape a C in my gcse's though, so im happy enough.

**Psamtik** · October 02, 2007, 12:05 PM

I found math fun and interesting as long as it isn't too hard, but it should some challenge.

**drak10687** · October 02, 2007, 12:19 PM

If you're going on to earn a "higher education" math, imho, is pretty much the only thing you HAVE to remember, and as such the only thing worthwhile remembering from high school (personal interests aside). For example, I had general physics in high school, then 4 physics courses, starting with mechanics in college, and if I were to go on to do mechanical engineering in University, I would start off with mechanics again. The workload would of course be greater, but I would be surprised if they don't go over the basics in the first week. Anyways, the point is that you can start any subject in Uni at practically zero (as far as what you remember), and still be able to catch up... but you'll have a real hard time if you can't do the math.
