Oh, then I can't wait for Calc! :D
Although I've heard that the teacher gives 3 hours of homework a night. O_O

I never do math homework. Pre-Calc is simple, its just brown townyzing functions.

Thats what I mean, it just takes too much time to get problems done.

Remember, the alligater likes to eat biggur numbers
1< 6
But whut if they are the same?
6 = 6
nO alligatur :D
I told this to my physics teacher and hes said its not right and had no idea what we were talking about.  Are the greater and less than signs different for science?  Like they're a set direction, greater than pointing to right, and less than pointing to left ?
Did I just answer my own question...?

I suppose they could be referring to vectors, but that's about it.

Ah, Physics. I love physics. Mostly because I can apply what I've learned to real life situations and just helps me know more about the things around me and such. Where with math it's all memorize this formula and apply it in this case. More than half the time I have no idea as to why I'm doing this or where it would help me.

Math exam in an hour and I don't know stuff! Woohoo!
Man I hate math. Sucks that almost ever profession needs it these days.

So hows ur life goin?
lol i like math
what im good at
1.Math
2.uhh Art
3.lunch
what im not good at
1.spelling (english)
2.Science
3.History (acctually im pretty good)


MY GOD I HATE POP QUIZES

You can do that with math... very easily...

I can't wait until next year... honestly, volume and surface area aren't remotely interesting =/

We haven't even touched on trig functions, and all the algebra outside of linear equations we've done could be taught in about 3 minutes. It's BORING. Physics at least looks like it takes some thought.

Sadly, the rest of my class struggles with surface area so we're stuck right now.

Well maybe it's the teaching style around here, but for the past 3 years of math people always ask the question why and where. It's not just me so I dunno.


I have the same exact teaching style from my last year's course in High School, now in college.

I think I owe my nutty teacher a "thanks".

Just did an organic chemistry midterm this morning, it was alright.

I forgeted up on syntehsis though, I can never remember what the reagents were. Had to reduce benzoic acid and then do some two-fold Diels-Alder reaction on the forgeter, finally needed to replace the COOH acid group with COOCH3, that was an easy CH3-OH alcohol addition but then I forgot which loving solvent to use.

Hate organic.

I remember in human  biology part of our final was a page written about muscles all the way from insertion/origin to the micro filaments such as myosin and that moonstuff. Gah

I took 1st year biology once, it was mostly loving zoology. The only good part was in the beginning where they HAD to explain how chemistry and physics kicked in for stuff like ecosystems and lake turning and all that jazz. After that it was a bunch of memorizing which animal from which kingdom was forgeted over by what.

That is exactly what physics is. Physics without math is not real physics.

Yes but thing is that I can apply those formulas taught in physics to a real life situation and thus further my understanding of that said situation.
In physics you calculate the amount of force acting on a body, how ships calculate the depth of water using signals, you learn about sounds, etc. all I see math as is formulas. Nothing that I would apply it to in a real life situation.
