Do you hate or love Math?

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.

[Peasant Phill]

I have a calculator.

it is b^2 not b^b

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

I've never tried combining Math with LSD...
