Hurricane Ditka 0 Posted February 5, 2009 It is sad that when I go to help my daughter with Algebra that it looks more like chinese to me. And I got A's on it in high school and college. Can't say I used it much in the last 15 years though. HELP!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTSkiBum 1,626 Posted February 5, 2009 I can answer any question on math. I am not exceptionally gifted in math, its just i had to take alot of it in college, more than the average person. Since i started going to school again this year, after a few years off, I had to refresh myself on math. On my own, I had to study Differential Equations because we were using them quite a bit in one of my design classes. So if you need any questions answered feel free to ask, and i bet i can answer it. If you click on that link, and you are wondering, what the hell math like that would ever be used for. It is used for designing chemical reactors, and also heat transfer equations, among other things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually the formulas and stuff themselves may be useless, however the logic that algebra teaches those who go to class are things that you should apply in real life; like deductive reasoning. It is not a suprise that you didn't learn that based on the logic you spew in this forearm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mighty_thor 115 Posted February 5, 2009 I use a ton of geometry as an engineer. I also use algebra to solve certain formulas with different variables. But the 4 semesters of calculus that I took in college are pretty useless to me now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I disagree. Algebra can be used in many practical applications. It's just not called "Algebra". Lot of Financial applications. Where I fell off the track was Trig. God, that was stupid. Imaginary numbers? Okay, here's my imaginary homework. You imaginary fock. Geesus, that was stupid shiit. I mean, seriously - i remember getting into it with my trig teacher. That was the official end of me and higher math. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
