.. hmm .. T. there is one thing.. i love algebra, geometry, trinometry and calculus 😳 .. as my father paid special emphasis on algebra, geometry and trinometry due to his OWN interest in these areas 😆 😆 😆 .. but is used to and still hate ratios even now.. im facing ratios in accounting ratios...and i just hate them.. I can complete the complicated algebra... but still can't handle ratios, unitry method and percentages 😭

I love accounting ratios. 😳 But, at least both of us like algebra.😉

I just dont like theorems and proofs. They make me go crazy. 😭 Speaking of fathers, my own hated geometry and trig, which is why i hate them too - as i had to boggle over those subjects on my own. 😆

maryan n mystica di r having a fun filled mathematical discussion 😉

ok u 2 kida convinced me that calculus is not as useless as it seems in high school 😆

but i still dont like calculus😳

and im into humanities...i want to be either a lawyer or psychologist so i doubt admanced math will be of any importance to me.

but everyone MUST know basic math lik ratios and percents and stuff to successfully live their life.

oh yea like mystica di i never liked trig either...ewww 😆

I don't see any reason for people being good at maths categorized as freaks... why??? I used to secure 100/100 in maths in 7th 8th 9th classes..nobody ever called me freak... instead people used to come to me to help them... even there were times when i used to discuss with my physics teacher on a certain topic and used to give maths logics..(BTW i got 98/100 in my 10th class boards 😃 )

Javs is 100% right here.. its extremely important to understand the logic behind that coz maths is a highly logical subject.... but Javs... the calculus u r studying is very imp in different fields.. and very useful too e.g. in mechnical enginering u need integration for calculating the volume of an irregular shaped body..... unless u don't know derivatives u can't get integration( which is the opposite of derivatives).. and in derivatives u use the formulae to know the gradient of a parabola or hyperbola at one point... moreover in accounting(which im studying currently) in the advanced stages i need to calculate tedious accounts and cost calculations.. u may need to hurt ur head harder to get the initial concept of derivatives as it took a month 😕 for me to just get the basic concept of calculus.. innumerus books and my father to help me (he's a mechanical engineer too 😛 ).. but the end result is v.v.v.v satisfying when u get the big picture of it..... i did matriculation in a school where i live.. then i took up A-levels and studied privately(there r very few schools offering a-levels here + don't have quality education) .. and i took economics, business studies and maths(combination in stats)... in economics if u don't know maths.. forget doing the subject... the increments r used to calculate marginal costs and other things (imp concepts of eco.) i got teacher of stats and eco.. as 2 subjects r correlated ... and did maths totally on my own.. its just the interest which matters in studying any subject.. and i personally LOVE doing maths and physics.. (but i don't do physics now )

hey im doing the same thing as JAvs did 😕 ... i think everybody will doze off here in this forum after having this much dose of MATHS 😆 😆 😆 .. and i think that's enough lesson for u JAvs 😳 im going bit tooo high!!!! 😕 Sorry guys!!! 😳

im glad that you dont get considered a freak, but in my college if you do well in maths everyone looks at you differently😕some respect you, others mock you and some are just plain evil😭 what i'm trying to understand is that i myself respect people who do subjects like history etc because they're not my strong points. so why cant people doing 'arty' subjects reciprecate that respect? if you say to someone you like maths they automatically assume you're clever

lol, the high dose of maths is a good thing😃👏

If you can think logically, Mathematics will appear very simple and natural to you.

Math is like a beautiful symphony...it only makes sense when all the notes are in the right place...and the music that arises touches your soul!!
