#math is not my subject

In which Ford struggles so badly to relate to other people that he wonders if he’s really human at all. The more isolated he becomes, the harder it is to reconcile with his own humanity.

hey i cant stop thinking about finance or mathematics teacher nanami x art teacher reader and reader is shamelessly eccentric with their bright coloured clothes, some of which they make themselves, their fancy shoes, elaborate hairstyles/head-wraps, odd earrings, a very messy desk (but they know where and what everything is), talkativeness and emotionality with a loud passion for the arts and it’s importance in society…

…and then theres nanami who is…just so different from you. he’s all astute, logical, two or three piece suits, simple, slicked back hair, quiet, neat, believes he fits in, stresses the importance (and sometimes, superiority) of industries and just the subjects of math and finances and economics and everything in between.

and in a way, he stands out like you do, due to your unique shared passion of your favourite subjects and your dedication to teaching such subjects and helping your students to understand their necessity.

too bad the passion you both have for your favoured subjects is the reason for your initial, mutual dislike for one another ;(

Here is your invitation to talk about something in maths you really enjoy. It doesn't matter it's complexity, just reblog with as much or as little detail about one of your favourite things in maths!

putting my whole heart in this assignment knowing full well i failed it already but at least i have classical music🤞

My English degree is very useful. Like when someone asks me a math question, I get to say, "...you know I was an English Major, right?"

Hi sorry to bother you I have a math question and you're the only other math enjoyer I know of on here ; w;

If 1 is no longer considered a prime number because it basically leads to infinite prime factorization, why is it still included in writing out factorials? Barring it from prime factorization because it's infinite, you'd think they'd bar it from any other multiplicative problems, right?

Sorry if this makes no sense, I haven't slept in three days lol

@bibliophilea would actually have a good answer for this question. I just do high school math support! Which is p much all algebra and some pre-calc. I don't like know the theories and stuff! But Bib is a Certified Math Nerd™️

hi! i'm severely dyscaluliac, and i absolutely adore all of your work, but i'm struggling so hard to figure out the maths behind the prey calorie to feeding cats thing. i understand that if the calorie amount is over 350, it'll feed more than one cat, but i don't have a bloody clue how to figure out how many specifically. Do i have to divide the calorie amount by the 350? Input would be greatly appreciated, apologies for the dyscaluliac rambling, i've been at this for an hour and i have a headache.

OH HEY, I also have dyscalculia! I'm always coming up with ways to help myself visualize this sort of thing. I've got you bro.

Think of 350 like a container for a single cat. Every day you have to fill 350 calories for that individual. Since 350 is just 50 seven times, you can make a beaker with seven notches.

(It always helps me to break things down into multiples of 5 and estimate around them.)

So, when you "fill" this beaker with 350 calories, your warrior is fed! The spillover from a full beaker can feed another cat.

So, if your food item was 400 (350 + 50) calories, that feeds one cat and fills up a single notch on the next "beaker." Whenever you have a big food item, you can subtract 350 from it until you reach a number below 350. When you divide a number by 350, that's what it's doing.

So if you had 3,500 / 350, your answer is 10. You can feed ten cats. 350 goes into 3,500 ten times.

When it's not a "clean" division and you have all the jumbled numbers at the end, like 3,600 / 350 = 10.285714, just pay attention to the first number after the period. It feeds 10.2 cats. The .2 means the eleventh cat is 20% fed.

Whenever you need to figure out how much food a group will need, take the population of the group, and multiply by 350.

If you have 3 cats in the group, that equation is 3 x 350. I punched that right into a calculator, and got 1,050. You need 1,050 calories to feed three cats.

Though, also remember how this functionally plays out.

If your cats are eating whole prey, it's not like Dudeheart is going to eat everything except the tail to minmax caloric efficiency. He's going to eat the whole thing. These sorts of calculations apply best to a Clan that's making soup or has someone doling out rations.

But, anyway, try making drawings to help visualize it, if it doesn't make sense. I hope this helps-- these are the hints that I use when numbers aren't making sense in my head.

my top controversial Zim headcanon is that Zim actually performs absurdly well at skool because

1. he's a perfectionist with a compulsive reaction to ANY system of scoring

2. I 100% believe test scores are this guy's forte because he had to become an Invader SOMEHOW and he sure as hell wasn't passing based on the practical

3. He has hyper-advanced alien AI to do his homework for him. like come on.

meanwhile Dib is really only scraping by on raw intelligence and the inherent educational advantage of having a mad scientist father. He doesn't have TIME to study, there's an evil alien he has to stalk and besides, you know what's better than a high school diploma? The Nobel Peace Prize for proving the existence of extraterrestrial life.
