Do you like math?

Oh math class. 2 + 2 = Zzz :sleep:

 

Despite being trained in science... Math is the bane of my existence.

 

Are you kiddding? I'm a math teacher!

 

Liberal arts person, math just never held my interest.

 

Still around is also an English teacher because he always corrects me on punctuation slang and spelling. It's funny actually.

And no I hate math so much I suck at it and I can barely stay awake in that class. But that's good u like it maybe u should become a math teacher especially in New York you'll make good money.

 

Yes, I do love math, and in particular, I love cryptography.

My favorite objects are elliptic curves.

 

I'm a history/literature type guy, and I've always found math to be too complex for me (well, anything past trigonometry/pre-calculus). I feel like I can control my grade in a writing class since it's subjective= I can basically BS something as long as it makes sense. Yeah, the professor may not agree with you, but if you can prove your point in a paper= good grade. In math, I always felt like: you have to show your work right now and you can't really make up anything. It's either right or wrong. No partial credit whatsoever.

 

I really like math I'm in an honors geometry class right now and everyone thinks I'm insane for enjoying proofs ... They're relaxing for some reason.

 

I dont mind adding,subtracting,multiplying and dividing but everything else sucks

 

Considering I'm studying to become a math teacher...yes, I like math

 

Depends on the kind of math. I didn't mind algebra and was fantastic at calculus, but I never liked geometry and loathed statistics. In general it was always one of my strongest subjects though.

 

Amen! I'm good at the basics. Otherwise, I need a tutor and a lot of patience :lol:

 

Same here! Algebra and calculus were very straightforward, whereas geometry and biostatistics were difficult.

I forgot everything from my math courses. Luckily, I'm studying pharmacy, so all I need math-wise is algebra to do dimensional analysis for dosing.

I did well in math but never had an interest in the field. Science, although more rigorous, is far more intriguing to me.

 

Actually, depending on the error that you made, some professors give partial credit. The most common error is an arithmetic error, either from calculating incorrectly in your head, by hand, or keying in the calculator. I've even keyed the correct numbers in and written the wrong result.

In general, teachers care more that the answer was obtained using the correct method. A correct answer with no work is useless.

Also, there's always value to checking your work. Software development could not proceed without unit testing.

 

I enjoy math. I don't necessarily go out of my way to do it, but when I do have to, it is pretty easy and kind of comforting in way that I like solved a problem. Next year I'm taking 3 AP math classes so that should be fun

 

Hated it until grade 10, when I finally switched to Saxon math (a popular program for homeschooling). Went from Algebra 1 through to the first half of AP Calc AB in 2 years. Yeah, I did at least 1.5-2 hours of math a day, even on weekends. I loved it, and I loved being good at it. Alas, I have forgotten most of it, but surely my brain has grown from doing it lol.

Did Stats I and II in university, but there weren't enough x's and y's to sustain my interest. I didn't like the theory aspect of it that was so hard, yet the calculations were tedious and carried a high risk of silly mistakes due to the sheer number of calculations, as inane as they were.

 

Hell no.
