I HATE ALGEBRA AND EXAMS!

[JamalNTam 1]

Man I hate math! Right now i'm studying for some compass placement tests i'm taking today to enroll for the community college here! I know they are placement tests but i dont want to roll up and get 5 out of 100 - that would be horrible!!! Trouble is I havent done any algebra since I lfet school in 1999 and I have forgotten all of it!! I only started studying yesterday and its today! (Only found out i had to do it yesterday!) I have a reading test too and I have to get over 90 for it to get into the class i want - so fingers crossed that the american and english language arent that different! lol!

If you cram for a math exam, then pass it with a good mark, then enroll in a more advanced class you may find that you're having a lot of difficulties.

If you had a couple of months to study for the test, then you could be certain that you absorbed most of the material; but one night of cramming just isn't enough. Just take the test, and if you do poorly you can probably take it again after a longer period of study. Or, you could take an easier math class. There's no shame in forgetting things that you learned 8 years ago and haven't used since. I bet most people here would do poorly on an algebra test; it's not because they're stupid. It's because they haven't looked at it in years.

Don't take that attitude; math is essential and algebra is a stepping stone to more advanced (and more useful) math. Algebra is actually pretty easy once you break it down. My algebra isn't good enough to teach it, but I have revisited the subject in the last year and actually enjoyed it immensely.

If you go into math class with the attitude that you're going to hate it, then you're going to be miserable. I loved math in high school.

i understand your point, it was my worse subject in school and college..hated it and saw no use for it, in my field

The thing is...people use math and even basic algebra almost every day without realizing it.

I tutored junior high kids in math as part of my sorority's philanthropy project and I found that all of the ones who were doing poorly had a bad attitude to math. I worked not only on helping them understand the material but on challenging and changing their attitudes to math as well. They were all under the mistaken impression that math HAD to be difficult. It doesn't, really, and subjects like algebra, geometry, and trigonometry are actually pretty simple if you break them down properly. If you go into it with a positive attitude it can make a difference. The girls were the worst; their attitudes were hard to change because they thought that girls couldn't be good at math. Ha, ha, ha.

very good points..seriously, thanks for the information..food for thought, indeed...

Hmm....Alegebra is so easy. Try Differential Vector Anaylsis, Calculus, Estimation Theory, etc...

If you go to grad school wait until you have to take the GRE...that is fun math.

How can you hate math??? math is fun.

Just make sure you understand the basics. A little refresher and once you get into the grooves of things you'll be OK, just don't rush it in case you have to do futher math studies.

Here's a nerdy old high school Joke,

Nerdy guy walk to this gal, but he's a good looking nerd, ask her if he wants some help with her math homework, and he'll tutor her. One day they got deep into the math lesson, and she wanted to thank him, so she ask him, write down any math question on the board and she will do it, so she said DEAL.

Have (INTEGRAL of E to the X) with me,

It's a possibitlity since you and your boyfriend are broke up, therefore the answer to the problem is YES, because he's now and

Ex

Hmm let me see how many folks here got it.

That's an old joke. There's no such thing as integral to the x without the dx. Anyway, Se^x. Simple joke. What about Integral of E to the X = Integral of U to the N?

Yes yes, we all know you're an engineer and are absolutely brilliant and speak perfect English.

I know several engineers...mostly petroleum and EE, and I don't know a single EE who made above a C in vector calculus. It's damn hard. My husband has a degree in theoretical physics and he got a B, yay him!
