That was last year.  Was quite fun, except notetaking.  And student journals.  And the first semester.  And trig. And worksheet time with no one around me. And boringville.

So pretty much being with friends was fun, math was the exception...?

I don't really feel a need to be around someone or something when I do Math. I just get so caught up in problems that I don't mind sitting for prolonged periods of time to solve questions. I don't know why fully, but it's just an amazing feeling.

I've been where you are. Honestly, I can't say there is a fix, except for time. Given time, it's entirely possible that you may grow to love Maths and truly see its beauty.

Or your summer camp assigns you double digit by double digit multiplication at first grade and you have to learn how to do it and then you discover the beauty of math when you see your classmates struggle over the same thing a few years later. :P

i love multiplying big numbers

 

i tried to find 100! without any calculators or anything, i think i messed up around time 19

I would tell you to find the 100th derivative of x^100.  The resulting number is your answer.

That's actually quite an interesting method! It doesn't save you any arithmetic, but finding 100! can be expected to be a hairy kind of factorial.

I know, but it's more 'fun' as you can keep track of the numbers easier and troubleshoot where you made a mistake as you show more work.  I dont know for sure.  Yeah, let's just end this sentence, i have to go to english.

For any natural number n,

(n-1)!=n!÷n

Therefore, 0!=(1-1)!=1!÷1=1.

I felt this question hadn't been answered.

Thanks for the answer! Your proof is far more well-reasoned than me just saying it is defined in the manner.

It feels nice to be studying calculus when my classmates are still trying hard to find out the value of a+1/a when a=2+√3. :ph34r:

It really does, doesn't it? Calculus is extremely "fun" to do.

 

Edit: I realize that I may have misspoken. I mean to say that it genuinely is fun.

Well, people here are working on proofs and trig while I study disk/washer method.  (Totally not interested so I decided to look at Trig Ints)
