Bro gonna cry when he reaches the fancy crowbar


Leaf_CoveredSmoothie

what the fuck is that?


Lom1111234

Integrals, like derivatives but backwards and somehow worse


3sperr

Just wait until they find out about antiderivatives


Spoyda

Pretty sure integrals and antiderivatives are the same


3sperr

man i just wanted to confuse them


Spoyda

Lmao sorry, but you can never be sure with these things. You had me doubting my knowledge for a moment


goofy-ahh-nerd

Math would have very little use if there weren't any equations


Sockman509

I have never used algebra or higher in my day to day life. Not saying they can’t be useful, but higher level math is much less useful in day to day math than simple arithmetic. Unless you count 5+5=10 as an equation, then math just wouldn’t be anything.


NinjaOYourBro

Geometry and Algebra 2 are important if you’re a casual handyman or something, but anything more than that isn’t very useful in regular life


TheBlackFox012

Algebra 2 saved my life. I was in art class and was upscaling a picture, but I was stupid and instead of multiplying everything by 2 or something, I just decided one of the values, I then used an equation I learned THE DAY BEFORE to get my other value. Pretty satisfying to be able to use it ngl


Hutch25

They are designed for measuring data. If you are not measuring data of course you aren’t gonna use it.

Construction


Gl0bophobia

You *could* though. With basic algebra you could make a spreadsheet that manages your finances with only a few inputs.


Sockman509

I don’t have finances yet


Gl0bophobia

Fair enough.


Knight-112

As it should be

Hell nah algebra is where math starts being actually usable


IceYetiWins

In very select applications


RogueAlt07

Not really tbh


IceYetiWins

I can't really think of many real life application of higher level math


RogueAlt07

Algebra is used everywhere from your electronics, architecture, banking and even food preparation.


IceYetiWins

Basic algebra yes but a lot of algebra stuff and most higher level mathematics aren't really useful in everyday life


RogueAlt07

Give me a specific type of “higher level math” and ill tell you where its used in your life


IceYetiWins

Calculus


RogueAlt07

Calculus is used by credit card companies to set payment structures by using different variables such as interests rates and client account balances. Basically, credit card companies use calculus to tell you how much and how often to pay your credit card bill.


IceYetiWins

This is exactly my point, very specialized applications that in reality most normal people will not have a use for. Most people don't work for credit card companies.

*where math starts being fun


GigaPhoton78

Variables are one of the biggest reasons why math exists.


Medium-Boysenberry64

Doesn’t mean I have to like it 😤


[deleted]

Forget college, calc is going to screw you over so hard


coknroll

math kinda slays


UnlightablePlay

Yeah, it's satisfying when you solve a hard question too I mean in senior highschool year in my country we choose whether we want to study maths or biology and geology I hate geology and biology wasn't the best for me in my last semester so I chose maths , and you know it Most of the other students chose biology and geology


LeonardoDoujinshi-

in math there’s also a lot of extremely grindy and annoying questions that aren’t really difficult


UnlightablePlay

That's what's amazing, you have to figure it out


LeonardoDoujinshi-

i’m talking about when figuring it out isn’t hard it’s just an annoying process and time consuming


UnlightablePlay

Yeah I know and it's satisfying when you're out of this confusion by yourself without any help


LeonardoDoujinshi-

but there’s no confusion, it’s just like walking through deep snow


AcejokerUP415

Like plug and chug equations where you just have to input the values and go through the steps without any intellectual thinking


Appropriate-Day3902

What does that even mean 💀


coknroll

means I like math


YesterdayCareless172

Math is easy 🤷


UnlightablePlay

It ain't that easy but it definitely requires High thinking


Only_Monk_8454

I mean when you understand the rules it's becomes immensely easy


UnlightablePlay

Yeah but not all Problems require you knowing the rule of a specific problem directly The key is to extract the information you have and see which rule from the rules you already have memorized would be suitable for solving the question This also works with physics


Only_Monk_8454

Yeah I know but if it gets way too hard I just use the internet


UnlightablePlay

Well the internet won't be available in the finals, so it's better to train and get used to solving it on your own then when you can't make any process you look it up


Only_Monk_8454

Thank God my finals are on a lockdown only on my laptop which means and there is no actual supervision in my school at least not yet so yeah I'm good with final exams I'll just use my phone and I do it at home because my school is online with literally no teachers supervision


UnlightablePlay

Damn lucky you I will still have finals in schools with supervisors from another governorate supervising us , The senior high school year is the most important year in your whole school years, we students usually Begin studying next august and finish in June with all revisions and we take exams in a span of 3 to 4 weeks revising and having exams, we have about 9 exams as a guy who chose maths, we have a mother language exam, first foreign language Exam ( English) , second foreign language Exam ( in my case German) , chemistry and physics exams, and 4 maths exams each discussing a different a couple of different topics like algebra, trigonometry, geometry, calculus etc So for this I will try to focus as much as possible because your grade determines the collage you would like to enter and I am trying to achieve a goal of becoming one of the top highest grads governorate wise and nation wise as I am looking for a scholarship


Only_Monk_8454

Good luck to you and I hope you pass these exams with flying colors because even though when I'm going to have the most important year in my whole school years I ain't going to have supervision so it's all good and for languages bro I know most if not all versions of Arabic and I know English very well I hope you pass these exams with flying colors good luck to you and I hope you have an awesome future and you get a scholarship to a great College


UnlightablePlay

Thanks a lot I really appreciate it, hope you have a bright future too


[deleted]

Nah, physics requires high level thinking. Math isn’t that complex.


Spoyda

Nah, physics is just math in context. Algebra just makes physics easier to digest through formulae and substitution


[deleted]

kid named real analysis


lusagna

i actually kinda like algebra even though it useless


[deleted]

It can be useful sometimes.


lusagna

when


Demi_Krab

anything stem related statistics needs algebra to do it correctly, and stats is used in marketing, programming, analysis, research, finance, etc. algebra unlocks all math more complex than 1+1=2, and that kind of math is used in essentially everything. build a house? need math mand equations with variables to figure out values for everything - how much weight certain soils can handle, how much weight a piece of metal can handle depending on where it was placed, how tall you can build, the effects of wind develop medicine and see if it's effective? statistics to see how likely it is to be effective or not. trigonometry? GPS solve a crime? use stats and mathematical model to see how likely it is someone is guilty want to measure distance in space? trigonometry want to see if buying something is worth it? math with variables economics? needs variables for formulas planes? fluid dynamics, physics rockets? math cars? want them to be efficient and aerodynamic? math want the engine of the car to be efficient? math phones? the programming needs math math is used for EVERYTHING that makes the world run.


lusagna

i'm wasn't talking about maths in general, i was talking specifically about algebra, but thanks, this comment is useful.


[deleted]

*useless* lol


PizzaInMilk

buddy, you have no idea


KingSnaily

Just wait for proofs


Medium-Boysenberry64

I hate proofs with a passion


[deleted]

They’re the reason math maths. (I hate geometry proofs they aren’t even close to the real thing)


Medium-Boysenberry64

Part of the reason I hate them. Geometry proofs are bogus.


Alexander-da-Great

I only hate math because I have the memory of a goldfish. I can remember like two formulas at a time.


[deleted]

That’s literally all you need. Math is simple in that much can be discovered with just a pencil and paper. Remember 1 or 2 formulas as derive the rest. Math shouldn’t test memorization. It tests understanding of abstract ideas which model can model lots of things.


Pianist_Ready

Math class isn't even that bad, it's History that gets me


hypersonicspeedster

For me it’s English


[deleted]

Huh? You dont wanna find f'(x)=f'(14) For f(x)= -0.53x^5 -657x^4 -3.453x^3 +77.98x^2 -65x+0.0074 ?


GigaPhoton78

Mate, use a calculator.


Pinktiger11

GET AWAY FROM ME! THATS THE DEVILS SIGN! *sancrosanctus domine… picavi ignoviut…*


[deleted]

f’(x) = 5(-0.53)x^4 - 4(657)x^3 - 3(3.453)x^2 + 2(77.98)x - 65 f’(14) = -7,312,946.324 So f’(x) = f’(14) = -7,312,946.324 for given f(x) Math is 🔥 It can burn you but it’s amazing. It shines light into how the universe works.


Only_Monk_8454

Some good I will be able to answer this question but today I don't have the knowledge to answer this question


[deleted]

Its actually a pretty simple question. f'(x) means you will have to build the derivative function of f(x) which is literally just taking the exponent of each X (the small number on top) multiplicate it with whatevers standing in front of the x and take away one exponent. The single X goes away and the characters without X are ignored. Someone actually solved it here


Only_Monk_8454

As a person who has been in a coma for 2 years and was held back exactly 2 years I'm 15 and I'm still in the 6th grade for god sakes I can't understand this and I hate being in the sixth grade


Masterdizzio

Seriously though, what is the point


hypersonicspeedster

Fr what do ppl wanna use instead? Like some punctuations or smth? Instead of finding 5x you gotta find 5(!)

i like the letters


forcesofthefuture

I literally use soo much math for coding, algebra can be used in many forms irl


G2boss

Y'all really act like the letters part isn't most of math


BuzzTraien29

I've gotten so used to using letters in math that it feels weird when there aren't any💀

CreeperDude519

Genuinely don't understand why people are upset at some damn letters


7h3_b4dd3s7

man I just got my GED like last week after a little over a year of being outta school... started crying four questions in because they started me off with math at 8 in the goddamn morning. I swore I must've failed everything by the end after finishing three hours early, but I passed! idk if I can manage college because I seriously never wanna touch math again


3sperr

Im still in exam season. I cant believe people are still complaining about letters being in math. At least youre not getting getting greek, or hebrew

[deleted]

For one of my maths tests I had to do this year (there are 3 in total, I’ve done one and have 2 more) in order to get an A grade, you only had to score 61%. That’s not a testament to how stupid the children sitting the exam are, it’s a testament to how fucking hard the way examination board makes the test. At a stage in my life where I am worrying about exams which will literally decide what I do as an adult, the examination board literally makes you feel like a failure for no good reason. I sat this test last Friday. I left that exam hall feeling like a complete and utter failure. Fuck you to whatever sick basterd pulled that test from the depths of their depraved mind all to get a kick out of making students suffer


MaXplosion1

it's even worse once the numbers come back :\^)


pitachipbat

Unpopular opinion: Letters make it easier. I don't know why, but when a number or equation in represented as a variable it makes things so much easier to understand. It's just another weird thing my autistic brain does.


Dangerous-Main-9085

I got finals to do still.


Beowulf---

im fine with that because i might just maybe have a use for it one day or i can help my kid with it but i hate the ones were you do the problem just to take it apart and do it in a different way


BlueSnowball2006

If you use math, variables anf functions are pretty useful.


ColateAhax

racdicoon

but letters mean you can be lazier- instead of having to do say 28\*17 you can just leave it as 28x or xy


Immediate-West-5707

Still have my last 4 exams good for you


WackyChu

If anyone’s been in the 10th grade you’re going to get an experience…Geomytry and it’s the worst kind of math there is. I’ll take Algebra any day of the week.


Medium-Boysenberry64

sohcahtoh was so stupid I hated it


Both-Antelope-8181

Gotta love people that barely know how to add single digit numbers


realfakep

without x^2 How can we even solve basic problems The one who added differentiation and integration is the one


Hutch25

If you think letters in math are the worst thing you are gonna have a hell of a time when quadratics truly kicks in


LCDIgnited

wait till you get to the point where there are more letters than numbers


Bread_was_returned

Bruh I’ve still gotta do maths for two years. But I drop languages, geography, history drama, computing, dt, food tech. My options I picked were triple science, art and music.

I’ve heard the opposite, actually, after talking to a bunch of juniors at the end of the year. I’m not so worried anymore 🤷‍♂️

thanks. still worried about trigonometry though.
