This thread is just what the title says it is. It is all about Math. You can post math jokes(the jokes don't have to be good), math questions, what you like about Math, or even why you hate Math.

My math joke: Resistance is not futile. It is voltage divided by amps.

lol Nice joke.
Oh, and I like math, jsyk. Oh, and I had made a thread on this topic before, but it died after 7 pages. Hopefully this thread fares better.

Hey Alexis and Merz. . .
Nice to see you use the forums! lol

Math? Errr. . . :|
It's one of my favorite subjects. I'm taking geometry in school, but so far I hate it since we don't do a lot of abstract thinking.

Geometry is pretty straightforward. Like I said, I like trig. Trig and quadratics were my favorite units so far this year.

I was discussing star wars with my friends.

Friend: Only a sith deals in absolutes.

Math teacher walks by. ''Me too!''

I am pretty sure I said I don't like being called Merz...

Oh, and I'm taking business math this year, and it's really a breeze after taking Algebra II last year.

You got it, Merz.

I'm bombing geometry right now. Not because I don't understand it, but because I'm too lazy to do uninteresting and dull schoolwork. It's a waste of my mind, and I don't much like it. I would prefer to be doing something creative and fun as opposed to simple and boring.

I went into integration class, and the warm ups they gave us were something like this:

And then I dabbled in summation which had solutions like this....

I have nightmares about math, considering those were easy questions.

How hard is the math overseas?

lol asians

Just kidding, anyways, it really depends what school you go to. Mine gives a great education in it, they just don't give many options of it to take.

Are you a sine function? Because I'm loving your curves.

Algebra is one of my favorite types of math. I like Calculus a lot too. It's challenging, but not really difficult. I actually didn't really like Geometry or PreCalc. Weird.

Can I lay tangent to your curves?

Algebra is really easy......I hate graphs though. And summation. Complex numbers, vectors, permutations next year....And Stats, oh joy.

And yes. Lol at being Asian. Hurrah!

Oh, and can you use calculators? We have to resort to huge-*** calculators.

It draws graphs, calculates trigo, does integration/differentiation, etc etc and yet that's not enough to pass.

Nicho, those equations just made my head spin...

I hope I never have to do anything remotely like that.

My school requires this one

http://www.studentcalculators.co.uk/acatalog/Fx9860GIISD.jpg

It does math. More specifically, it can draw graphs, dynamic graphs, table functions, solve equations (simple ones and polynomials). I learnt on my own how to write programs for it, and it's annoying as hell. The programming language is terrible, not to mention having to type on it's keyboard >.>
I made black jack and a few other programs with it though.
