I hate math , math hates me, what about U

[PocketRocket]

I've tried and tried and I just dont get it.. and I just cant find anyone who can explain it to me. Simple math too. I mean I can get the correct answer But I dont see how it works.. I need a special needs adult teacher
Anyone else weird like me too?

I was good up until a teacher told me that a negative times a negative equals a positive. I get it why they say that, but lets be real. I cant put Mastercard and Visa together in any way, shape or form that will end up with me gettin money from them.

- Visa X -Mastercard= me still oweing them money!!!

sucks that I have to relearn math just to help my daughter with her homework. I understand it fine I just never needed it.. untill now. when she goes to bed I read the next chapter so I look like I know what Im doing

sometimes I wish she wasnt so smart, I can only keep up for a couple more years..

Math doesn't hate you. You and math just don't understand each other.

I'm sorry, what were you saying? I was staring at your .gif

I'm rubbish at maths, also grammar as you can see by my posts, oh yea and spelling.

I dont know man, once I run out of fingers I'm screwed.



Seriously though, as someone who works as an engineer, I have to understand and apply math. Most of the time, my computer, or set standards, or calculator make it easy. But once in a while, you have to pull out the pencil to make sure you are doing the right thing so nobody gets hurt.

I am pretty good at math. PM me and I can try to explain if you still need help

 

[mrsBusawhipped]

Math is one of those "four letter" words that I don't use!

I kinda like math. Its hard and I have to work at it but I enjoy the challenge. Plus I like that I get to help my daughter...my wife can't do it.

I like math and no, I'm not Chinese.

I'm not as good at math as I used to be (darn technology). But honestly, I like math. To me, it's predictable and logical. I actually miss the challenges and problems I got when I was in school. Working through a formula to get the right answer...awesome.

LOL

For debt you can't multiply Visa with Master, you have to add them together wich gives the total debt.

To understand why a minus multiplied by a minus becomes positive just look at the math language on both sides of the equal sign.

Visa = -$400

Means you have a debit in your account of $400.

So to state it the other way, multiply with -1 on both sides of the equal sign.

-1 x Visa = -1 x -$400

-Visa = $400

Means your account is still in debit by $400.

LOL, I have used a lot of math in my Engineering career, but at school it was the only subject I did not have to try and learn, it just happened automatically. Did not go to school in the US though.

I wish I could learn to like it.. I've been fighting it sine a kid in school. I've always when it comes to book work S*ucked.. But when its hands on I'm 100%.. I had to take electrical exams and in class I got the lowest score , But in the field I always pass teh inspections. I've had thousands of inspections in 15 years and only failed 1 due to a change in codes. I also went to trade school for automatic transmissions, again I was the lowest on paper but the best on repairs.I was the only one to get a trans 99% back together on the first try... If I could just get the math to click in me head I'd rule the world
Now RussellJ I'll probably take you up on your offer , But You'll have to be the world most patient person..
I think most of my problem is I have to see how something works ( In my head ) to make it apply or stay in me brain.. I just dont see 2 negatives = a positive .or switching a Numerator and denominator and tell me its the same number or that its not changing the orginal question.. aaaahhhhh I need to hit my head on the wall... How can I multiply and get less?? ahhhhhhhhhh 1/3x3/4=1/4 aahhhh I WE TODD DID

I can do the math i need to get by everyday, measurements, shop math basically, anything else doesnt happen
