Do you hate or love Math?

Do you hate or love Math? I hate it with a passion. :dizzy2:

Hated it, my brain doesn't work that way. I can solve physics-puzzles using it as I know what should happen but I can do nothing with merely a few formula's and a problem, I can't see it's logic.

I always hated it guts XD
But it saved me at the exams, got lucky that the outside professor appreciated my inventive to come up with a solution even if it wasn't the right way to do it :D

WTF IS A MATH?

I do not “hate or love” it. I don't much like to be on the receiving side of a question of prove that X is Y but that is little do with Math and more to do with exams.

On the other hand I do like it's beauty. To show that each interval between two real numbers has exactly as many numbers as the full set of real numbers you need only a very simple function and a few simple observations.

You forgot the gah option.

It's not that I hate math, I'm just really, really bad at it.

Just like me :yes: :laugh:!!

I'm not very good at math, but I do kind of enjoy using math to figure stuff out. Math classes and the worksheets and tests that go along with them are awful.

Easy: because a=b, a^2 - ab = 0. Therefore you cannot cancel the factor (a^2 - ab) because that amounts to division by zero which is undefined. Or in other words in step 7 there is written in a convoluted manner that 2 * 0 = 1 * 0. First try, full marks!

Love it! Because there's generally only one answer, hence why I disliked subjects which potentially had a lot of grey area to explore. I appreciated the simple, to the point, yes this is the answer.

But I've found myself in a grey area of study/occupation so go figure...

You probably wouldn't expect this from a guy who eventually decided to go to law school, but I loved math at high school; was pretty good at it too; wasn't too bad on exact sciences either.

I sometimes wonder how my life would've been had I chosen an entirely different career path. Ok, I know, it's never too late, but at 33, with a wife and kid to support, being settled and all that, it's no longer that easy to make extremely drastic changes in the career department.

I thought I loved it when I was good at it in high school. But it drove me to despair in university and I definitely didn't love it anymore.

The clip is still wrong, even after the guy corrects him. Homer is referencing Pythagorean Theorem a^2 + b^b = c^2. However, while homer incorrectly states it applies for isosceles triangles, even with the correction that this applies to right triangles it is still wrong to say "the sum of the squared roots of any two sides". The hypotenuse and only the hypotenuse is the sum of the squared roots of the other two sides. The other sides are actually the square of the hypotenuse minus the square of the remaining side.

I begrudgingly respect it.

I'm not really good at it, but I respect it and admire good mathematicians. I'm particularly interested in the mathematical aspects of music.

I have a calculator.

it is b^2 not b^b

i like math i am a dual econ-mathematics major after all.

same here i hate math

I find it interesting. I enjoy it sometimes, depending on what I'm doing. I'm not a particular fan of conics, but I love diff equations.

I kinda hate it. not itself, but having to take whole sections of it I know for a fact I won't be using.

Maths is to the mind what weights are to the body.

It is one of the things that allows technology. Not only separating us from animals who have limited mathematical ability... Except for this rascally rabbits and the Fibbonacci sequence... It is something that has acted as a lever to separate out cultures.

Mathematics, music and equality a better civilization make.

That and you can't make a descent beer without getting the ratio right. And as we all know beer aids in multiplying. The great circle of life.
