TW knows that I actually respect him, even if I either don't understand a damn thing he's saying, or outright disagree with him.

The only way I was able to understand math was as a language. I am language-based. I like words. I had to drop calculus in high school because I was so stupid and lazy and when I was forced to take chemistry in college I just sat there, stunned, while the prof. commenced with what I felt was pure magic. All I did was look to the person sitting directly across from me and say, "What, now?" and, "I don't get it." I think I made that prof. weep. It was a surreal experience and I fervently wish to never repeat it.

maths is the universal language (literally)
everything uses maths and without it, we wouldnt exist

Please do not post any proof demonstrating this.

I have something I'm looking forward to doing this weekend.

(I'd post something on the order of "and then went on to prove black is white and got killed at the next Zebra Crossing," but it's already been a topic of discussion in another thread fairly recently ...)

i was just thinking about the equation of reproduction thinking 1+1=3 but then i realised its 1+1+1/2+1/2=3 so thats all good

my 2 favourite maths tricks are multiplying something by 1 ( ie. 1/1, 4/4, or even something more complicated like [log(43x+y^k)]/[log(43x+y^k)] etc) or adding a number then subtracting it so the equation is still the same but in a completely different more useful format.

:bonk:

:wstupid:

:thankyou:

thats true but if you get it....my god its good

New here. Found this site through a surfing session and had to reply to this one. I hold a B.S. in Mathematics (Yes at times I too have called it a Bull Shiznit degree so don't go there with that one)

Kagen4o4, you are not alone. I too am interested in these things. I'm glad you can embrace your inner geek. Math jokes are so much more fun when you can actually understand them. And for those of you that don't, sometimes you can still spend some time contemplating them. I know my husband likes to concentrate real hard to figure out this one....

welcome pixie.

coolish maths stuff.
look up "escher" in google and check out his paintings.
look up the golden ratio and see how many things its connected to.

I have been rereading this post for a week now. When a mental health professional does not understand you, what does that say?

Some would worry. I am amused. As Bugs Bunny said, "What? Me worry?"

When UG starts singing, "Kill the wabbit" ..... we all know how it ends. Still, even Bugs Bunny never had to deal with a Big Bad Wolf.

"What? Me, Worry?" == Alfred E. Newman

"What's up, Doc? == Bugs Bunny

"Kill the wabbit!" == Elmer Fudd

Big Bad Wolf == Little Red Riding Hood

You should stick to math. :wink:

well put.

As Barbie once said, "Fiction is hard."

Or maybe I have that wrong too.
