Math

[Person_Random 4,991]

Yes, math has a purpose, no argument there. Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, Coefficient, fine, if you are going to be using it on an everyday basis for your work. But if your work doesn't demand it, then what good is if when you graduate from college?

 

My brother had to take algebra, trigonometry, and calculus to get into college. There, he had to take the advance courses even though he was going into Management. When he graduated he went into retail and, eventually, became District  manager of a large high end store chain. He never used all that math again. Many times he had wished that he didn't have to take all that math in college, because there were other courses he had rather taken that would have advanced him in his career a lot better. 

 

In my work, all I needed to do is be able to convert measurements to the metric system. Not once did I use all that high end math. If you like working with numbers and it gives you a welcomed challenge, then go for it. If you have the talent to be able to work with numbers like that, then your place in the world is to find a job that uses it. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from learning. Have fun with it. 

Actually have to agree with you on this one here.  My parents told me that most of the things they learned in college and further studies don't really apply to work; it's mostly basic algebra and geometry.  However, they are pretty good tutors.

 

I get your frustration but that is the thing about Maths I find increasingly more often. Mathematics isn't just a tool you use and formulas and numbers you crunch. It is so much more than that.

Depends on your interest.  Also, if you have 50 problems to do right now, then I guess you would not be as enthusiastic as one of those inhuman nerds who rely on studying for nourishment.

It does depend on interest, but one's interest can't really define a subject, can it? For them perhaps, but the truth exists entirely differently.

True.  But you can influence others, like saying that 'math is stupid' and 50 people have a bad taste in their mouth when thinking of math.  Anyways, time to study numerical integration and the Unchain Rule.

I'd rather discuss Unchained Melody.

Well fair enough, but influencing others can't change the truth. Your truth might change, although the ultimate truth stays constant.

 

Might I ask if you mean the opposite of the chain rule so as to integrate compositions of functions?

Yes, I meant that.  I like Unchain rule better.  (always a u sub method) boring.... (hopefully didn't fail today's test)

does the Banach-Tarski Paradox count as math? because i want to talk about that somewhere lmao

Sure! Anything Math related (no lame jokes please) are more than welcome! How many people you might find to discuss with you though, I cannot say.

Chat moderators don't even say that. Well, unless you ask them what they think of math jokes.

Right ?? :P

Uhhh huh.

I HAAATE math. With the vengeance  :angry:

I get the message. I will refrain from any further trolling of this topic.

Well then I'm afraid this is the wrong topic. This is the math-lover club.

Lol, why not move it to Miscellaneous Clubs then :P

 

Can i join the club too?? 0.o

No reason, I suppose.

 

Yes please! You are more than welcome to join the Math club!

Y'all try putting  into Desmos and change the power of x to whatever you want, in this example, 7. Pretty cool.

Fascinating! What I would really like to know is how that works. I know, for example, that the absolute value function is in fact alternatively defined as the square root of a number squared. Could you please kindly tell me how this "ceil" works?

[Guest]

ceil just means the top (or 'ceiling' of y) In the equation, it is the largest value y when the like has a slope of 0. Take this picture for example:  (the individual lines have 0 slope, but the diagonal format does)

 

the ceil of this equation would be 5. as the ceiling of y (y  cannot exceed the "ceil" limit (ceiling))

I see. That's quite interesting

Cool!

Just did some research on the Banach-Tarski Paradox, it's really cool actually. But I'm also confused. Does that mean that 1 + 1 can equal 1?

I am puzzled, but I will read on that later today!  Sounds cool even though I barely skimmed the first bit of the article!

What? Banana-Tanki paradox?
