Business students do tons of math. It's pretty lightweight next to what you get in full-out math classes, but it's still calculus, it's still linear algebra and it's still tricky. Economics is one of the biggest applications of mathematics there is.atoga wrote:You can always get a business career that uses only idiot-level math, or something?
Well I've taken quite a few economy classes (at a vocational school) by now, mostly cost-effectiveness, budget and book-accounting, and they've all used really simple math that pales in comparison of the stuff that I do back at high-school. The only really challenging thing so far was when we went to national and/or regional scale, forecasting inflation etc.
I'm not saying maths is useless, but it's most likely useless to me. So far I've struggled to get 9's out of the high-end math courses (that's roughly A- or something for all u dorkz), but I still don't get the big picture. And I'm not planning to have a job as a scientist or a maths professor in the future, so I guess it will only look good in my resumé and help me get a study place from some funk-eeh university.
Woo-wee. By the way, thanks again for that explination, Spazmo. It helped me quite a bit. At the moment we're chewing through derivats of trigonometric and logarithmical functions, which tends to give me a burning headache... But I will survive, yeah go go Gloria Gaynor. In fact, I'm doing much better than at the time when I started this thread. Yeah. Whatever.
Coolz guyz lollorz,
keep it up.

yea, well.... if you find subhuman and blargh quibbling over semantics (i'm not sure that was what you were bickering about because i didn't bother to read all the utter shit) interesting, then sure.Mr. Teatime wrote:Yes? I thought this thread had some good stuff in it, actually. Though I was banned from maths a while ago. I kind of killed my teacher with a superior equation, I guess.
what the heck am i supposed to mod hear (sick) anyway YO!

I was admin once. On a dark and stormy night.
You don't have to do something to know wether you'll like it or not. Like reading Tanks fan-fic It's probably just you and blargh trying to outwit each other and one of you failing quite a bit.Then don't bother posting about it if you didn't even read it. Christ
There's nothing to elaborate really..
I just suck at mathemathics. And when first bothering to reveal the MYSTARY of what seems to be series of ramdomly picked out numbers and sometimes even letters, nekkid hawt femalses with at least above average appealing breasteses would have to be present in order for me to be able to focus.
