All measurements are written in a specific order such as hours, minutes and seconds, or, hundreds tens and units so why in the American dating system do they insist on putting the date and the month in a totally illogical order?

Okay so i know its equation is this: n!=2(n-1)(n-2)x2x1
and I know it's factorial.
Yes, I understand how to use the equation, but I have never seen "!" in math and I'm wondering if there's actually like a different sign for it, or is it for students with a higher education.

If math questions biased, why answer them?...
or, perhaps it got someones attention, just enough to answer it?..
do math teachers go through the motions to get by?
could it be they themselves do not know enough math to even teach it?.
or perhaps they are just burned out from students who just don't care, they to begin to not care?

or?..
they work they do is simply not appreciated enough, hence not compensated enough?...
do math teachers who get paid well try harder than those that make less?..
if students got paid for doing math, would they do better?....

~~~p.s. y^2 means : y x y ~~~~
y=?

IF students are not interested in math, should a teacher become so amaizingly intersting that students can't help themselves and learn the material?.
Does it require more thinking?.
Or, do some students just lack the intelligence to grasp such simple ideas.
Is math all that complex for high schooler now a days?. or have they become so brainwashed by TV, and Videogames, etc, that having to use the brain takes to much work?
Should we always blame math teachers for student laziness?

how can human beings make any sense at all of the world that they live in? Why does the universe have enough order for us to discern an underlying lawfulness, and yet enough chaos to permit such things as nature openness and human free will?

Is there a reason why so many people hate math, and openly admit that they are the "worst possible person in math"

they seem to wear that fact as a badge of Honor..
who would ever admit to Not being able to Read?.. Math is an essential subject to maintain our modern way of life. without math, not much would be possible.
