#i hate math with a PASSION.

[luxesiren]

i’m literally about to toss my computer out the window fucking around with this math hw🚶🏽‍♀️

[xxplastic-cubexx]

the thing that’s so wild to me with comic charles is that he’s literally just as slim and small as the females in the comics LIKE THAT WAS A CONSCIOUS DECISION HE HAS THE SAME BODY TYPE AS EMMA FROST.

everyones so mean to him and he's literally only three apples tall..........

[sideblogforhitgameobeyme]

Obey me merchandise has be doing math willingly I think I've gone too far into the silly moment

[smolldust]

despite managing to get a B on my ap English test today, I’m definitely gonna fail my math test on friday

"easier" math has become more difficult than "difficult" math

Had to take a math placement exam for college today.

It was all high school stuff--things I'd already done.

Now tell me,

why was it harder to do that stuff than the abstract algebra stuff I'm studying?

…

I'm serious.

Maybe it's a familiarity thing.

Like, nobody should ever have to memorize all the trig identities.

sin2x + cos2x = 1, that's an acceptable one to memorize.

Super short, simple, and widely applicable.

But the bullshit like sin(2x) = sin(x)cos(x)?

Or sin(x/2) = sqrt((1 - cos(x)) / 2 ) ?

What? The? Fuck?

Is this actually stuff I studied two years ago?

This is formula sheet bullshit.

Not stuff you test for to gauge math proficiency.

And not without a calculator either.

For fucks sake--discrete math and modern algebra without a calculator is easier than precalculus without a calculator!

…

I can see why some people hate math.

That shit's just not fair.

Even if you're using math professionally, you're not going to have that bullshit restriction of "you need to know everything off the top of your head".

…

If you couldn't tell, I'm not a fan of all of math.

There's some areas that I don't feel are as important to understand as the rest.

Like conic sections.

Or eccentricity.

…don't get me wrong. Geometry is pretty cool sometimes.

But when my job is to literally solve the equation for a specific point on an ellipse, I'm just left thinking, "why bother?".

…

Calculus was cooler than that shit.

Vector calculus was cooler than that shit.

Precalculus was hell.

I offer my condolences to you poor souls who've yet to take Precalc.

There's cooler math beyond precalc.

Yes, it's more incomprehensible, but it's enjoyably incomprehensible.

It's supposed to be abstract.

It--

Physics wasn't as infuriating as that test!

I-

I don't know how much more I can prove I love math than to write a whole monologue about me descending into insanity over my love for math!

But this fuckin' test!

It just- wow.

I'm sorry. I'm still kinda worked up about it.

I'm not writing about it in a very unbiased lens.

(I don't need to. I'm not claiming to preach universal truth in this post.)

…

Again.

I suppose I want to emphasize that precalculus and later "college algebra" classes are kinda infuriating and not very fun.

There's fascinating fields like calculus, linear algebra, and abstract algebra beyond that rut.

…

But again. Math's not for everyone. So I suppose you can also hate all of it. I won't judge.

just saw an advertisement from a FINANCIAL INSTITUTION where the girl went on abt how she got a credit card and using ✨girl math✨ she figured out she was actually saving money by spending it with her card 😍😍 like this shit is just getting outright misogynistic at this point and im so sick of it. the jokes have gotten far too out of hand when companies are feeling comfortable enough to make advertisements abt how women cant handle money bc its too big and scawey for them 😨😨😨 makes me fucking sick

[the-razzdazzler]

I JUST SUBMITTED MY LAST EXAM, COMPLETEING MY MATH IN SOCIETY COURSE, WHICH WAS ARGUABLY THE WORST COLLEGE CLASS I'VE TAKEN SO FAR

fuck you math in society

taking math and putting social cues in it

autistic people can't have shit

[agonizedembrace]

[ 1:41pm Robin -> Miss Evelynn ]: So you're super old but like are you good at math

[ 1:41pm Robin -> Miss Evelynn ]: like could you solve this o' milennia year old demon

[ 1:42pm Robin -> Miss Evelynn ]: (sin(x) + cos(x))(sin(x) - cos(x)) = (√x - cos(x)√2)(√x + cos(x)√2)

[ 1:42pm Robin -> Miss Evelynn ]: Please don't fire me

-> [ robin. ]: what do you think i do this kind of stuff for fun in my free time?

-> [ robin. ]: oh oops! im murdering some rich fuck, let me think about the value of x while im tearing his guts out

-> [ robin. ]: better be sure each side is even ... just like how much blood im going to tear from his body!

-> [ robin. ]: no wtf is wrong with you. im thinking about how great of a meal my next one is going to be

-> [ robin. ]: x = 1 btw

[barkboat]

They’re juuuuust like me fr

[craftykittyscientist]

how i look at my math teacher when she comes to check how im doing with the work (i procrastinating the whole time)

Reason for running this blog and a short story of my academic downfall.

•The primary motivation behind starting this blog is my way of dealing with a rough patch in my academics. I used to be an A-grade student until 8th grade, but then COVID hit, and I made some not-so-great choices. I pretty much skipped 9th grade, regretting it later. Despite a close call in 10th grade, salvaging an above 80% score in the board exams, the subsequent year, 11th grade, witnessed a further decline with a 65% result—a percentile mirrored by a significant proportion of students, with only a marginal 2% achieving scores surpassing 70%.

•Now, in 12th grade, things aren't looking much better. I enjoy studying, especially Biology, and I can handle Chemistry okay-ish. However, Physics is a whole different story. I don't hate the subject, but the numerical part is my kryptonite. I like the theory part, but when it comes to calculations, I'm lost. To sum it up, my Bio is decent, Chem is okay, and Physics is a struggle – might even fail if I don't do something about it soon.

•In summary, my academic profile manifests as a mixed bag. Biology stands as a bastion of relative strength, Chemistry occupies a middling ground with potential for improvement, while Physics, languishing in the abyss, demands urgent attention to avert a potential failure.

•This blog will be my space to share this academic rollercoaster, figure out what went wrong, and hopefully get some advice from others who've been through it.

How to get through a class in something you love when the structure is stupid and the content is too easy and a huge chunk of your self worth rests on your being genuinely good at the subject so you're going to make up all the excuses for any mistake you make and avoid things you fear will burst your bubble despite all your accomplishments in the subject and you don't have any motivation to do at all well to speak of to begin with and also you're autistic with ADHD and depression and haven't been in the education system since you dropped out of high school nearly a decade ago because of how horribly burnt out you got from it

[tim-shii]

oh my god do i do math or do i play hsr

[avocado-frog]

let it be known that my name here is avocado frog not because I like avocados but because the frogs look really cool and I think you should all see them

AND ALSO AVOCADOS ARE GROSS!!!
