Really though. Factoring equations is the stupidest thing I have ever encountered in school. The AC method makes it just a tad easier to manipulate things, but its still annoying as fucking fuck.

I see fury, and hear "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" about annoying and too easy math a few times a week.

Does anyone actually use that crap in real life...or is it just another course to frustrate you and waste your time?

I've always wanted to know.

I think it changes the way you view conceptual math, just being able to figure out those kinds of equations. that's about the only benefit I can see. I was talking to my physics professor about that, and he worked as a military engineer for like thirty some years. He says they use calculus for builds and shit, not ALGEBRA.

So I dunno.

You do in many ways. I leatrned algebra in high school using only word problems that described real life situations, such as car leases, etc. With word problems you have to find the numbers yourself and figure out the apropriate equation before workking it. I was very strong in word problems because of that. I forgot most of it though. :(

They use some of it in physics but not all or even most of it.

It's an old tradition to learn more maths than you will ever need. Plato stated that no one should be allowed to be a "philosopher king" without studying maths for 30 years first  :zombiefuck:

I hate it when you ask why something works the way it does, and the teacher will say "That's just the way this method works, dear." Like these people are supposed to be mathematicians, and they never tried to take these methods apart and examine how they work?

"Method." "Standard model."

The fuck is up with that shit? How about this is the root of how this works, now go figure it out? Fuck a bunch of memorization. That's not understanding how something works at all.

I always wished I wasn't fucking dyscalculic.

Aside from more mundane day to day needs, Lack of almost all math really holds me back from being able to better understand a lot of the quantum physics and particle physics concepts I find interesting

Kaku's books cater to the mathematically disinclined physicist. He did it intentionally because he strives to give physics to the masses. It's good.

I'm not too bad, I just hate sitting still. Plus all the taught "methods" sometimes seem like sorcery to me for some reason. I usually have to mess around with things and figure out my own way.
