Math Class is Pissing Me Off

That you arrived at a set where the largest member of a set of four or more was just an imaginary number that may or may not be less, greater than, or equal to all the other members of its set, which was assumed to be proportional to all other sets in E?

E is all numbers of the ego set.

Good one.  That merits a yuk 3

Wait till you get to quadratics, roots, polynomials, logarithms, and imaginary numbers

One thing I learn't on the internet, never try to outgeek anyone, you will always be outgeeked in short order.

Also, differential equations and fourier transforms are really the tools of physics, we just let the engineers play with them to make them feel as though they are involved

My field, for instance, is completely dependent on understanding physics of motion, material and electromagnetism, among others

Yep, we can     And we both have our little HP's right next to us at all times still, even while posting on the forum or surfing the web......  Damn, we are nerds.....

[Asmodean]

Yep, we can  :verysad:

I was considering responding to the same post with something like...

"Nah, dude, that's still the basics, it doesn't get hard until.... until.... well, it has to get hard at some point, doesn't it? ... like, maybe when you're developing your own theorems that are potentially relevant to society, or maybe... I dunno... does anyone actually understand quantum mechanics? Like, the math behind it is easy enough, but ... does anyone really understand it?"

This is very true.

I see a lot of nerd bragging in this thread. It's annoying.

* Oh, and did someone say differential equations were hard?  WTF

Well now, there are differential equations and there are differential equations . . .

Unless I'm just a thicky who struggle with these things.

Yeah... Guess I shoulda' used the italic  :raised:

Some problems can be very time consuming, yes.

time consuming != difficult

[Asmodean]

Time consuming == difficult when faced with a deadline that usually looks like "Do it yesterday!"

[Heretical Rants]

In that case, it is the time restraint that is difficult.

Blame society.

Well, if you really feel like arguing that point... Ok!  

The part of the project that is the most difficult in relation to meeting the overall deadline is the most difficult part.

Message to the OP. You need to do your homework and do it with enthusiasm. As you mature you will understand the necessity and desireability.  Now that you have heard from several nerds, here, you may be getting the idea. Education...$$$$$...getting laid. If that last one is not enough to convince you then I give up.

If you don't like math now, try taking Differential Equations and Multivariable Calculus in college... then you'll really despise math. I'm currently in Differential Equations and I'm going to take Multivariable Calculus next semester. Homework takes hours and on my last homework, a single problem took up more than an entire page.
