Do you find Math Boring?

I'm ok with that. I want to be a history teacher so maybe I'll make history as interesting as I find it for some.

Yeah....the whole alphabet thing with numbers doesn't really do it for me. Thinking it seems is a luxury few of us can afford to do anymore.Wilfred_Owen

What's the "alphabet thing with numbers"?

I find maths boring. Not just the one math.

Yep, I pretty much found math boring which is kind of why I slid by through math with a C throughout high school and such suppose I could easly gotten As-Bs in math if I actually did all the assignments since I seem to get fairly good grades on homework assignments and such.

I pretty much prefer History, Geography and Science I find them more interesting and did pretty well in Biology as well. Did fairly well in English/Literature cIass as well.

how can you love science but not math? science is 100% math based.

cant say i liked math, but its the only subject i was able to sleep during class in and still ace the exams... because math is easy, its all principles.

I find math fascinating, but am unable to understand it to any real competent level. Failed basic algebra a few times. My mind just isn't wired for math.

Of course not. Only an Jersey Shore watching nitwit would find math boring.

did you actually try to learn? i failed algebra because i just didnt care...

and i dont blame most students for not caring about math, because there seems to be a systemic inability to explain the importance of it.

well no crap i know that now after majoring in comp sci.

but from the onset it wasnt abundantly clear.

lulz i dont even remember factoring, even though i was in advanced math classes my entie life.

I guess its kinda true, i had a math brain, i tried to tutor a friend of mine in college... and some people just dont have mathematical minds.

but at the same time, im soooo terrible at english and language in general.

Damn brains and their prejudice.

Yes. The only subject I disliked in school was Maths.

I love math. Minored in it in college, and actually took a lot more math classes than the minor required. It's a great workout for the brain and I love the pure logic of it. I'm in complete awe of the people who invented those formulas in the first place, their intellect must have been astonishing.

Math is great. I love it.

No because it actual means something unlike poetry.

It's challenging and fustrating and only exciting when I figure it out after I've taken the quiz.

I find math in the text book form pretty boring, unless I get it, when I get it, I enjoy doing the problems. Its much more enjoyable when you apply it to something.

I hated math, but once you get the understanding of it it great.

The only subjects I like are math and science.

Pretty meaningless yeahthemajormayor

Of course it is.Klipsh

next time provide something to substantiate your argument with, otherwise other people, like me, will be left with a very limited chance of successfully following your conclusion, since no reasoning was given

e.g

q: what is the meaning of life

a: salt and pepper

the answer makes no sense because no argument substantiating the conclusion given was provided with the conclusion

you can successfully debate in this form if the conclusion you choose to provide is self-evident, sadly yours isn't

This topic is boring,because it's about math.

Financial or even actuarial math is cool. Fvck triangles and squares though.

I think you are on to something with salt and pepper, however. That could be the meaning of life as salt preservers things and pepper can spice things up. That combination can be existential.sonicare

its like i never left

MrPraline

Math is said to be the language of the universe as everything can allegedly be broken down into mathematical equations.

I think that's cool!

Any science related argument, unless explained in extremely simplified layman's terms, has math (lots of it) behind it.

Even the most basic kinematics require algebra and in case acceleration is not constant, even calculus.

Right on target. I was teaching myself limits for Calculus and took me an hour just to understand the concept and apply it into a 5 part question. Mind you, I didn't have much help and it was a while since I took PreCalc. After solving it, I felt a sense of accomplisment and pride.

Math isn't boring but can be difficult and challenging to someone trying to understand and apply the concepts.

I think I may be the only one here who likes English... or, well, writing.

turtlethetaffer

Excruciating. I love history not math.

IustitiaMaximus

About as much as Literature (the boring classroom type) and anything grammar. I like science and history and life sciences like psychology and sociology (my major and minor) much more.
