To be honest, I understand why people don't like it. People who are interested in completely different fields are forced by universities and the nature of their course to take maths. There no reason they should be expected to like it when they are interested in a completely different field. If I was made to take chemistry, I'm sure I would absolutely loathe it.

i study this engineering program and we don't even need those math courses we have.Kinda annoying to study for a thing you know you will never have a use for.

Do we even need to learn maths if we have calculators and Google

Computer algebra systems can only do symbolic maths. Only humans are capable of real maths. :cool:

 

I should say, though, that type of thinking leads to what happens in the film Idiocracy. Not good!

I have to say that; math become gibberish to me at age 10 and I never got it after (ironically my dad is a math's lecturer)

Cool dad you got there! :cool:

How I hate maths. I have a C3 exam in January and I'm dreading it. Bloody trigonometry.

What was that French guys last theorem called Garnaqsi? The one that was lost and rediscovered around a decade ago?

Fermat's last theorem. It wasn't lost, though. Fermat wrote somewhere that he had a proof of it, and it's that proof which was never found. It was then proved about a decade ago using techniques that were developed hundreds of years after Fermat. The proof is really difficult; it runs into hundreds and hundreds of pages. People nowadays don't think Fermat had a proof because if he had one it would have had to have been simple (because no and would have already been found by someone else somewhere. So he just probably had a mistaken proof of sorts. By the way, regarding your C3 exam -- do as much past papers as you can & you'll do fine.

Sxb, I procrastinated so much that I did my whole thesis (including research and write up) in the month of April. It was worse than hell.

Legend!

 

But I learned that I work best under the cosh

I'm not sure if I work well under pressure, but that unique feeling it gives you is quite nice and surprisingly addictive!

Interesting. Have you watched the BBC documentary on it. The guy who discovered it breaks down in tears at the beginning. Bloody hilarious And thanks about the C3 advice.
