i hate math. dont you?

Answer 1

Math is death

Answer 2

No, I don't. It might be the good work from my former math teachers, that is, they were kind enough to explain and lead me to see the 'light' on the matter topic by topic. I think this math syndrome is normal to students all over the world, just imagine what would happen if we don't have brilliant mathematicians solving problems in any scientific studies in the name of the academic advancement in the world of high technologies. I read somewhere this mathematics has long been regarded in the west as the queen of sciences, I'm sorry I don't know who defined such a succinct definition for this great field of study. Therefore, it is all right for some people/students to hate it due to some factors inside or outside those learners but it is not fair for this great subject to be lagging behind its other counterparts when more and more learners don't like it. Therefore, innumerable professors and researchers have been working hard internationally to solve the problem.

Answer 3

No! For obvious reasons. Some people have an irrational fear of mathematics, like it's some sort of wild beast intent on destroying them. They don't realize that it can take quite a bit of work to tame the mathematics monster and get good at doing it. Just like physical conditioning, doing mathematics requires constant training and use of your mathematics muscle, so to speak. But, with effort, it can be done.

The rewards of being able to do your own mathematics are inestimable. It has many practical uses just in conducting one's daily life. For example, suppose you need to buy a new car, and you've decided you want to stay within a certain payment range. The dealer says they will arrange financing for you, but you are not sure they are being straight with you on the monthly cost of the purchase. If you know how to calculate an amortized loan payment, which most auto purchases are, then you can calculate what your monthly payment should be to the penny. I know, because I've done this many times myself.

Here's another example. Suppose you are investing money, and you are trying to decide whether to pull some money out of a savings account and put it in a higher yield CD (Certificate of Deposit) which you are rolling over. Because of a tiered interest rate structure, pulling the money out of the savings account will drop the interest rate paid on the entire account by a small amount. The dilemma one faces is deciding whether pulling the money out and reinvesting it in the CD offsets the loss on the other hand. If the gain realized is more than the loss, then that is the best option. Using mathematics, one can actually calculate this for oneself, and won't have to rely on a banker, who may or may not know what they are doing. I don't know about you, but I feel uncomfortable letting other people make decisions about my and my wife's money. After all, if they make a mistake, who pays for it? Certainly not them. They are only "advisors."

To be sure, there are some branches of mathematics that seem to be impractical, and one wonders sometimes why they are needed or even studied, but mathematics seems to have a way of paying for its own development and study many years, sometimes centuries, down the road, when its practical application suddenly becomes apparent in a new world scientific and social environment.

So, don't consider mathematics an academic enemy bent on destroying your self-confidence and self-esteem. It's not! If you put in the effort, you will find your mathematical ability and confidence will grow day-by-day, and you will grow to love it, not despise it.

Answer 4

Yes, it has been my worst in school, i always forget math no matter how many times i tried to learn it, makes me yawn in class too.

Answer 5

yipee!! even though people and teachers always say you need math to do everything in life( and that's true) i still don't like MATH....

Answer 6

yup. english was always better.
