(I think mostly trig and some basic algebra: Translating polar coordinates into cartesian coordinates, using sine waves to establish a cycle, that sort of thing.)<br /><br />Anything I didn't personally have a direct application for, I did not particularly enjoy.Mike Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473351629471580823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224377501657529009.post-15900643926723176492012-06-12T02:01:30.790-06:002012-06-12T02:01:30.790-06:00What I love is the beauty of math; what I hate is ...What I love is the beauty of math; what I hate is doing it. I think this is sometimes refered to as a lack of rigor.wljenningsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224377501657529009.post-27015069449352989652012-06-11T15:50:13.019-06:002012-06-11T15:50:13.019-06:00The worst part about math for me was (what you sai...The worst part about math for me was (what you said about the short cuts, I also hated having to show my work on a problem, esp during finals week if I could do a part in my head why should I have to waste my already fatigued wrist in writing it out) <br />but also the fact that at least at my school they scheduled all the math classes first thing in the morning!!! Crazy people! <br />All classes at 8am should involve large amounts of physical activity so I can wake up before I have to use my brain.brightonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891902339102876861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224377501657529009.post-13516939754534494542012-06-11T09:03:57.885-06:002012-06-11T09:03:57.885-06:00I tend to hate math, but there are parts of it I l...I tend to hate math, but there are parts of it I love. Solving for x or whatever other letter, is often fun for me. I also enjoyed doing proofs in geometry.E.B.

Ha...Love: Derivatives, geometry, and trigonometry.<br /><br />Hate: Algebra and intergrating. These are the kind of things that make me want to shout at the textbook, "Solve your own dang problems!" <br /><br />You probably already know this though. :-)Paige Foremanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475439028975395846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224377501657529009.post-75457056717175665342012-06-11T06:28:50.026-06:002012-06-11T06:28:50.026-06:00Can't say I have anything to hate about it now...Can't say I have anything to hate about it now. In college, it was different. I was not a fan of differential equations and calculus. Unfortunately I had to take 3 calc classes.<br /><br />What I really hated were trial and error problems. If you don't start on the right spot, your problem can seem endless.Suzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502606950280751205noreply@blogger.com
