the subject you can't stand...

I hate Biology, especially Animal kingdom. Such hard names to remember. I can't stand with organic chemistry which include nomenculture.

Nomenclature was quite easy and I often enjoyed working it out.

Then I started doing degree level work and trivial names are often used, making learning the IUPAC naming method not very useful.

^^ I too love nomenclature when I was in 12th grade, it is really a fun to do it.

Science crying

Biology! Simply can't stand it!

I love chemistry though, and specially organic chemistry at that. If I wasn't interested in IT, I'd probably end up being a PhD in Chemistry.

 

[jkartik]

absolutely HATE chemistry.

and to a certain extent geography.

 

[Cricketman]

Hate calculus. It's so pointless.

 

[shravi]

I hate math and everything about it. Not only because I am bad at it but because it is sooooo boring.

 

[Cricketman]

Some math I am OK with. Even parts of Calc. But after a certain point the only people that need to learn the stuff are math teachers so they can teach it to other people.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

That is true, in some respect. Math is pointless if you don't know why you'll ever need it.

As I'm going into Engineering, I'll need advanced maths. Physic majors need advance maths. Maths majors need advanced maths. Architects need advanced trigonometry. And Economics majors need pure maths and/or statistics.

But Medical, Commerce and Art students don't need this at all. And they are frankly wasting their time doing such complex maths. Logic skills and problem solving abilities are helpful in literally every field, but they can be taught in ways relevant to these students, and not necessarily through Calculus and Trigonometry.



So if you are forced to do high level maths when it isn't relevant to what you want to do with your life, or if you have no interest in it, then my only advice is to treat it as a chance to develop your Logical and Problem Solving skills. Treat maths like a series of puzzles to solve, and make it fun. It'll help you in the long run too.

I think most people suffer because of a poor teacher. I used to love math but as soon as I got to calculus (integral/multivariable) my teacher was so pathetic at explaining it that it completely turned me off math.

Trying to teach yourself calculus is dangerous, I wanted to hang myself after a few nights.

But lemme tell you, conquering a subject you hate/find difficult is a great feeling. Finally understanding it after hours of slugging it out... What i've been doing all day!

 

[MaD]

Bah! I hate Geo, had to make a speech for a debate, cbf to do it, 3rd speaker speech on the spot, 9/10

Gfu

I did state debating
