math is the most boring subject, and one of the girls in my classroom did all of the next 2 weeks of math homework, she musta been sick... with reverse bordom sickness...

I'll respond anyway... But uhm... I can only think of one suitable responce...


WTF?
And yes, maths is for Sicko's! Numbers are NOT your friend!

Actually, Im looking into a career in computer programming, so I think math is kinda fun =D I just hate homework in general.

I'm horrible at Math, its so damned annoying. :D History and English seem so damned weay to me, I guess its the cultural stuff. ^_^

RAWR!!! :D

IM, dOnE!!!! fucking math homework, i go through this hellhole everyday...
and, have you noticed that the english/history curiculum is being filled up with christianity? its like they are teaching us how to be christians without taking us to church, they're are poisoning our food...
i remember being marked down for not giving the description of certain profets and wHat they did... and i go to a public school. its scary :shock:

homework sucks.

In college, you dont get homework that often. you just get evil research projects that are like a month or two worth of homework, rolled into one nice, cursed package.

In HS, I voluntarily didnt do alot of my homework, and although I graduated with a 3.2 GPA, I could have had much closer to a 4.0 if i actually did my homework. In my HS, that would have taken me from the middle of the 3rd quarter, to the top of the 2nd, and made a HUGE difference in my college path. (I would have graduated from college by now).

My advice is even though it sucks, do it. It may seem pointless, and stupid, especially math (even though it is for sickos, as oddy said so well), but it has to be done. When you are in college, and dont have to take remedial classes, or have to struggle through classes like Calculus, you will understand why its so important.

Also, I have found that math study groups are a GREAT way to meet new people... especially ones of the opposite gender that you would be too shy to approach otherwise.

I had a bad habit of not getting my homework in for quite a few years way back when. I was still getting good grades tho, remarkably. Later on, though, I improved and my grades skyrocketed. Im happy now, that Im actually getting the tedious stuff done with.

the wierdest thing is, that i had at university the 1st 2 semester lots of math lessons, with tons of theoretical crazy stuff, and now in the 5th sem i know all that crappy shit has actually use in the real world too.

so tacz, i ll bet you are gonna need that stuff, not what u r doing now, but what you are doing in ~3 years.

I don't give homework. 2 Tests, mid-term and a final, thats all ya get. And if I don't like you, then you flunk too. Pretty fair terms.

:P

Ok, you want to start with Convexity Theory I, Stochastic Processes, or maybe just some simple G4303 High-Energy Astrophysics? (I have had 2 cheerleaders in that class beleive it or not).

So be honest now, did they fail? :)

Convexity Theory? sorry can't find a translation for this, what is it about?
stichastic processes, hmm taht could be useful, i need that crap in a couple of things.
astrophysics, interesting but prolly too much for me.


PS
oh and yeah, i dont believe it. or did they somehow misunderstood the lectures name?

Well he did say if he liked em they pass - and there's diff interpretations of the word "had" in certain contexts (such as those involving cheerleaders) :wink:

Oh heya KatieBlu :roll:

Convexity Theory I - basic definitions and properties, separating and supporting hyperplanes, and combinatorial theorems of Caratheodory, Radon and Helly.

Stochastic Processes - Stochastic processes in discrete time including random walks, recurrent events, Markov chains and branching processes. Processes in continuous time including linear and nonlinear birth-death processes and diffusions.

High-Energy Astrophysics - High-energy radiation processes in astronomy: synchrotron radiation, bremsstrahlung, inverse Compton-effect. New wavebands of observation, UV, X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy. Radioastronomy: supernova remnants, pulsars, neutron stars. Radiogalaxies, active galactic nuclei, quasars. Theories of the origin of cosmic rays.

One cheerleader dropped in 2nd week. The 2nd cheerleader actually ended up with an A and went on to graduate school in meterology. Good for the stereotypes :)

Don't be ashamed Mummu... that wasn't ment to be understood by mere mortals...

the high energy astrophysics one sounds cool. I am in an astronomy class right now, and if the math wasnt so evil, i would pursue a degree in astrophysics. im good at it... just hate math.
