try intergration and differentiation of ln functions and e^x functions, all mixed together in one huge, steaming pile of useless mathematics

A-Level maths is the pinnacle of useless subjects

It can mostly be found in ...Calculus :beathead:

Right now, since only the first month of school is over, we're still learning the basics, and right now we're learning.... Limits!!!! :dry:
Be patient. Before long, mathematics will become suddenly easier for you. :)

It is easy for me, I have a 96 in there. :p

I just don't like the long, tedious problems to work out that pretty much takes up a page, and having to remember ALL of the little rules about certain problems.... :lol:

Useless maths...
nothing like having to learn the long way of figuring out the derivatives of a function, then for the professor to say, "Well you can forget about that now, because here is the shortcut."

I guess I can't complain :embarrassed:

You know you're addicted to Orbiter when you :hailprobe: frequently enough in casual conversation that people know what you're talking about.

That's exactly how i learned how to use matrices, we learned some page long way to solve and graph a certain problem then she says "plug this into your calculator... this way."

Well right, I mean I learned matrices in high school, and they were easy. Then you get to college and start doing vector calculus, etc. and it gets a little harder. Then you do eigenvalues, and much, much more. Before you know it, matrices aren't so fun any more :lol: . But, they are extremely useful.

After I registered for the forum, there is that rule page that you have to accept before you can post. You have to wait 10 seconds before you can click "accept," which has a countdown timer. I pressed "T". Nothing happened, at which point I realized the flaw in my logic.

Meh, never said they were fun, but I do agree, they are useful.

The funny thing is my seventh grade math teacher said that matrices are completely useless. Yeah, she wasn't the smartest person I've met.

When you keep all your addon development work on seperate computer that is never connected to Internet because you fear NASA may hack your computer and steal your spacecraft designs

But you did read them, right? :tiphat:
