I love Math! [For all math lovers]

[Skater]

Maths is the worst subject ever.

I agree, but it can be Math or Maths.

 

[Cricketman]

For you, yes, for the field you're venturing in is different. For me, I would not imagine a life without maths, its the thing I sleep with, I laugh with, I do everything with!

You need to get out more mate

 

[Highlander999]

No Lee. Only Americans call it Math cause they are stupid. In English (which is what we speak) the Oxford Dictionary calls it Maths You see this is what happens when you study sociology, your brain begins to shrink

I'm not obsessed with Maths like some people. *Cough* Kshitiz *cough*. But I really do find Maths interesting and I wouldn't be suprised if my job ends up being to do with Maths.

I put my middle finger up at Maths.

The concept people keep missing is that Maths is taught not so that you learn how to use Calculus and what not, but so that you learn how to think logically. To solve problems. Those mathematical procedures only apply to Engineers and those who wish to go into fields needing maths, the rest up till O Levels is to make sure you leave school being able to think logically and sensibly. That is why Literature is taught. Not everyone is going to write their own novels, but everyone can stand to gain from learning how to see things from other people's perspective.

And finally, I must say, if you don't like Maths, then stay out!! Maths lovers only!

MATHS is, was and will be the best subject ever on earth :happy... (to WORLD CHAMPIONS
{Fantasy Cricket Staff,The Planet Cricket Battrick Shield V3 Champion}; skater and the others who unfortunately haven't found the joy of maths( i am pretty disappointed at that : You may as well go out of earth )
Anyway, thanks to Harrypotter_fan for starting this thread...
I Fully agree with Zorax Doom

My opinion is that maths is good, and anyone who says it is dull and pointless just isn't very good at it. If you don't reckon you'll have a career which involves maths, that's your fault, you probably just don't have what maths takes. Of all subjects, it is the truest test of intelligence I reckon.

Harsh. If you were talking about only O level maths, well then yes, you'd have to be pretty dumb to fail. But in Maths as general, then some people just aren't born gifted to do complex sums and such. They enjoy maths, but have difficulty doing it without a calculator or when it gets too complex. Can't blame someone because they aren't gifted in something.

To all the people that think I'm Math obsessed (Mani and Rohit, this is for you), I might be I don't know, but I know that I do love it. I'm not talking about basic trigonometry and stuff here, not the geeky stuff no, I'm talking about the higher maths. What forms the basis for Chem and Physics...

True, not everyone is gifted. But the ones who say it is pointless and they can't see why they would bother with it are just saying that because they aren't good at it. People who enjoy maths but don't bother when it gets complicated aren't really what I'm talking about, they just decided not to pursue maths that much. The ones who say the whole thing is a waste of time are the ones who just don't get it.

 

[Skater]

I wasn't particularly good at maths, but I was competent. The reason I say maths is pointless is because the majority of it is! I will never use it in my life because it's a load of crap.

That is each individual''s thinking. at school level, when you don't know what career you are going to pursue, having basic knowledge about everything is a must.
Most consider geometry, and trigonometry to be pointless. Think about architects - They cannot live without it.
People say commercial mathematics is useless.. How do you know at an age of 15 years that you are not going to need it in future?
Agreed, once you get into engineering, you don't need commercial maths, and quite rightly, it is not taught then.
In school, there is a huge likelihood that people would choose varied streams, and choice of careers. The syllabus is created, keeping in mind that it caters to future engineers, architects, businessmen, etc. Once you reach University level, and have chosen your preferred stream, it is then that you focus on the most relevant areas, of any subject, leave alone maths.

I wanted to do engineering. I chose science as the elective in 11th and 12th standard. After 12th got over, I decided to shift to Business management. Now, if we had been taught a very narrow, and focused area in maths, I might not have shifted. Since I had basic knowledge of the commercial aspects as well, it was a relatively comfortable change.

Just a heads up for those who crib that maths is irrelevant. It helps decide your future. If you don't like geometry, make sure you don't end up being an architect. If you think calculus is not your cup of tea, most probably physics will not be either - Don't become an engineer.
I liked commercial maths, and that prompted me to switch streams. I am successfully pursuing my bachelors degree right now.`

Lol I think it's all geek stuff .
