Do you hate maths?

[Candyy]

I dont

[hsf_]

I don't like Maths, gf is a mathematician so she does all the number stuff for me :D lol.

I liked math. Until Linear Algebra and advanced Calculus. Then I crashed and burned. No science career for me :(

You probably lacked the fundamental backbone required

To take Linear Algebra you need to be comfortable with algebra. To take calculus you have to be comfortable with Complex numbers, Limits, Polynomials, Radical expressions, Rational Expressions, Logarithms, Functions, Factorisation, and Expansion.

If you can't do that you can't do calculus.

I got through the first 3 calculus just fine. Then I hit a wall. No idea why. I eventually ended up as an engineer where the first 3 calculus is all you need.

First 3 calculus? You mean

Calculus I, Calculus II and Calculus III ? but didn't take Differential Equations?

Yes Calc 1,2,3 then Diff. I was calling diff as linear algebra. After that comes advanced Calc 1,2 and some others? I don't remember. I did pass diff but I did not actually understand it at all. Maybe a C or a D. I failed advanced calc outright. Along with my advanced Physics classes. Whatever they were called. Wave theory by then, maybe.

That's the problem there you took the class did it by rote without understanding it. Blindly applying algorithmic thinking does not help learning. It's like when you goto a tutorial site and it says do thing for Linux, you should try to avoid just entering what they say and instead ask why they say enter it. It often has a reason.

You did the equivalent of what most of the younger generation now does when they need to answer something they enter it into a calculator but how do you know you got the right answer?

Algorithmic solutions will only get you so far. If you don't know why you are doing something you are doing something wrong.

Yes Captain Obvious. I did say I hit a wall. I just stopped being able to understand. Guess I burned out. No idea. All I know is that I failed everything.

You could have asked your professor for advice they are there for that.

I hate math. I’m sure that would surprise anyone I ever knew. Including those I tutored in Algebra and Trig, Precalc. I was taught it very traumatically. Can’t really go into detail but...I like art. Art and science is cool.

I really like math.

I would rather say, that math is imagination.

Science was officially derived from Philosophy and at it's core philosophy originated in symbolic-logic therefore science was created from philosophy it came down to a dispute Aristotle had with Plato about understanding the nature of the universe.

He basically said one cannot understand the universe by merely thinking about it, it must be understood using empirical evidence and research. Those two words are key "empirical" and "research"
