Well, you hear wrong.

[Secura]

Ugh, trig... I'll never be able to get SOH CAH TOA out of my head for as long as I live. >.<

I NEVER HAVE TO TAKE ANOTHER MATH CLASS AGAIN EVER.

Ha, I thought this too, but you'd be surprised.

In the modern workplace, at least in the UK, you need to keep your knowledge of maths and English up to date... if your qualifications in the two subjects were acquired longer than five years ago, then you have to do some refresher course rubbish to ensure that you've not forgotten the basics... stuff like spelling, punctuation, grammar, calculating percentages, Pythagoras (cos that totally has real-life application, "oh look, a triangle!"), BODMAS... stuff that I would have thought people never forget and that everyone learns, but in the event that you have forgotten/don't know/suck at their exams, they will shove you into a class to brush up. >.<

I took my GCSEs in 2003 (A* in English Language, B in Maths), and then was told I'd have to take an exam anyway even though I was insistent that there was no need; I'm not usually one for gloating, but getting 100% on both exams was something nice to rub in the faces of the JobCentre's pen-pushers. I would have thought going to university was evidence enough that I at least didn't need to take the English one. ¬_¬

cos(x)^2 + sin(x)^2 = 1 is totally my favourite identity, which one's yours?

I thought that too, so I dropped Maths for AS once I got an A at GCSE. I then found I liked economics and wanted to do it at Uni, so I had to drop German A2 and pick up Maths AS. It's worked well for me, although it wa hard at first.

a^2=b^2+c^2-2bcCosA is fun

Psh subordinate stats isn't that hard

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Memories of my maths teachers nasal whine are flooding back to me...

Trig hmm if only sums would stay that easy take for instance Linear Algebra now there is a boggle.

[Subotan]

Binomial Expansion anyone?
