FINALLY!
now you can make your own class, but explain it
to the sheet!
Name: Age: Gender: Class: Nationality: include whether axis or allies Personality: least 3 Phy.Desc.:least 3 Traits: i make from your personality/or desc. Bio: optional, least 5 sentences Perk: i make from bio ---------------------- Squad: 4 (put how what class each squad member is and their names) Weapons: Uniforms: Misc.: you can make 5 ---------------------- Health: 100/100 Condition:
as i read from one book, training prepares you to shoot a gun and throw a grenade, but it doesn't prepare you to look into a dying man's eyes who pleads for help as you slide your knife into him
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to belittle the service of any member of the military. We owe them all our respect and gratitude. But...I think I'm gonna give a little bit more of that respect and gratitude to the guy who went in the battlefield, killed enemies, and risked life and limb for me, than to the guy who went in the boot camp, taught/scared allies ****less, and risked getting puked on for me.

Drill sergeants went through boot camp at one point too, I doubt half of them thought they would become a drill instructor when they signed up for the service. Do they lose your respect because of that? Does a paleontology professor lose your espect because they aren't digging up fossils like the students they teach who will eventually have to in a future career?
I stand by my statement that there's no way a pineapple grenade could roll over jungle terrain (far from a putting green) and into a hole with a cover on it.

Hey now, I never said I didn't respect them. I made that very clear. You're taking my words out of context. And I don't respect paleontology professors, at all. I barely even respect the students. I mean...I get that knowing about the past is nice and all, "if you don't learn from the past you'll repeat it" yada yada yada but if we've already got assault rifles who cares if our ancestors used stone spears and we found a bunch of them? I just feel like history is such a waste! What could we accomplish if intelligent, adventurous people like Gertrude Bell, Sir Arthur Evans, Hiram Bingham, etc. had set their minds to the field of math or of science instead of history!?

Oh my, please tell me 1 thing Math has directly done to improve the overall quality of life for humans.
Let me clarify my previous statement: I respect their intelligence, but not their accomplishments. It's like this: Say nobody knew who first discovered penicillin, and there are two medical students. One of them decides he's gonna go into the HISTORY of medicine, and the other one decides she's gonna go into actual medicine. So the first student discovers that, hey, Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin! Meanwhile, the second student discovers a new antibiotic that can take out bacteria that's developed a resistance to penicillin. As long as we have the inventions, the ideas, history is not important. Giving credit to a person who's been dead hundreds of years(and thus could care less about recognition) is less important than continuing their work.

Math is the foundation for chemistry, architecture, engineering, physics, biology, technology, and more things than I could shake a proverbial stick at! The computer you're typing on right now...it wouldn't be there if not for math. That famous scientific equation, e = mc^2? Gee, why does that look so much like algebra? Ever wondered why your house doesn't fall down every time the wind blows? Geometry! You say that science is more important, and I agree in principle. But without math, there would be no science. You laugh, but I guarantee you, you're going to have a hard ****ing time finding a chemist, engineer, architect, technician, etc. who's bad at math. Just ask Dragon, the physics major!

Putting a universal law into mathematical terms.

I was deploring what a mathematician does himself to improve society, not what the other fields use math for. And you keep on using how mathematics has indirectly helped humans, while I happened to say directly

You're splitting hairs of bull****. But I'll indulge you. The ability to count(very simple math indeed!) was a major factor in the creation of modern society. The barter system(i.e. I give you 1 chicken for 2 gallons of milk) was unreliable and impossible to implement on a large scale since people all valued different items differently. It only worked on a case-to-case basis. But the ability to count gave us the ability to use currency. Now we can have a set amount of $$ which is worth a set price. This was incredibly important to the foundation of society since people could trade with other people who had a common currency. And computers are a direct contribution of math. So is mass production and economics. And nearly all electronic technology, especially computers, is a direct contribution of math, thank you. The ALU(Arithmetic Logic Unit) is the heart of CPUs, GPUs, microprocessors, and more. Computers, when grossly simplified for the sake of argument, are just machines that take a bunch of signals, translate them into numbers, and use those numbers to perform a function. Bitwise logic operations, integer arithmetic operations, and bit-shifting operations are what allow computers to run, and in case you didn't notice, that's math.
the talk is scaring the children, and me
I apologize. But we're nerds, and this is what happens when you don't respond to our posts! We go into nerdrage mode.
but I'll indulge you..... .....and in case you didn't notice, that is math.
Every single one of those is a mathematician figuring out how something works and then someone else applying it to improve society which I believe is indirect contribution. The only exception to that would be a computer, which I will agree on.
The majority of math, when applied to the real world and especially science, is simply putting known aspects of the universe( example: constant of gravity or the weight of an atom) into mathematical terms so the human mind may more easily comprehend and use it. An example of this is engineering: It's not like mathematics independently created engineering, it made the engineer's job easier by making him more easily understand pre-established constants of the universe and apply it into, say, building a house.
