I wanna kill the fucker who invented math

math is so fucking stupid, i know it's necessary in some ways, but for every 1 useful thing we learn in it there's 2 other chapter's of bullshit. when the fuck am i ever gonna use quadratic functions, parabolas, all that bullshit. even when i get the process and what to do its still a buncha useless bullshit being fed into my brain, it's overwhelming. its my main problem in school. i studied for this test i missed out on for a month and i still fucking failed! i dont give a rats ass about parabolas, im not gonna be a fucking engineer! i dont care about solving with square roots, i couldnt give less of a rats ass about varation's and constant's exponents and inequalities, and all this completely unnecessary shit theyre making us learn. i can't take this shit anymore. i have a final tomorrow and if i dont pass it i fail the fucking semester! uuughh...

 

Hey... I've studied engineering and we don't use parabolas either.

Haha... Office Space Syndrome.

 

So don't take it.

I use pretty much all the math I took in highschool. And I've taken second-year university math. I need it for econ.

 

well one things for sure, he's not in the white house

 

Whe-hell, this is interesting. Now that we've been renamed "The Whiners" and moved to this part of the fora, we're actually going to get posts from random people just bitching about stuff. omg yaye u guyz

 

i like math just cuz its easy. but i dont really get why we need it. its all just bullshit invented crap.

 

yeah i know you need it for college, but other than that i dont know what else you'd need it for. and we don't have a choice. i wish we did. over here we have an integrated math class system, where you can't choose the bullshit you learn, you have to learn a little bit of all the bullshit. plus, class of 2009 and above (coinsidently my class) has to take and pass integrated 3. its pretty much bullshit. if i wanted to learn about parabolas and quadratics, i'd learn it myself.

it was meant to be more of a rant about how unnecessary teaching you math in school is. er atleast how unnecessary it should be. it should atleast be optional. and yeah, i'm whining about because it pisses me off and looking at most of the other threads on this it seems like thats what everyone else is doing

 

I don't need it for college. I'm going to need it in the real world - you know, what uni trains you for.

 

One of the main reasons for all that math is actually to help build logic skills.

 

Don't worry... the math they teach you in American highschools and colleges is so fucken elementary that it won't help you out in life, needing it or not.

They taught me most of the shit they teach you here in 12th grade back in 4-5th grade.

 

^uh, not sure what math classes you were in, but Im pretty sure you werent learning calculus in 4 and 5th grade...

 

fuck calculus i'm in the lowest math class here (college algebra(algebra II)) and i'm takin trig over summer school and thats alllll i need for this place. lol

 

i'm pretty sure he didnt grow up on the american school system...
plus he's a damn sexy genius. or something. heh

 

I went to an international school which did give me an American High School diploma, but the education style wasn't truly American. I always thought that my high school sucked education-wise until I came to the US.

Calculus is optional in American High Schools, most people don't take it.

 

What you had probably put you off better than anyone else in this country... or at least my old school district.

 

Yes, but it made college unbearable.

 

this is true.

and math sucks. i'm learning the same things the original poster said. ba log na right there.

 

Hmmm, well. almost all of the math I've learned I've used... for other classes.

Calculus was so not necessary for Econ, it was mostly graphs so thusly, slope equations and the like (and more theoretical than with real numbers, mind you these were introductory courses).
But Statistics, we used some fancyass equations in. That was actually fun. Think probability (which I hope to god they're teaching you) only expanded and way more interesting

 

math is everywhere causing me missery
in bartending school you need math, and even in my fucking painting class we are learning about geometry in nature
math should not be anywhere near my art or drinks
but it is oh well

 

at my school theres a kid who jsut moved from south korea and he's in 10th grade. He already ahs enough match credits to graduate. I asked him to help me with algebra II and he was telling me how he learned that in elementary school.
