I miss math

[TheoPetro]

I miss math. I miss figuring that stuff out. I took up through ODE and liner algebra then changed majors (physics -> finance). I realized that while there is a lot of arithmetic in the first 4 semesters of finance no real math exists until you get into you senior level classes and grad school.

I miss pages of integrals and differential equations to solve. I miss matracies (SP?) and differentiation and finding where the ladder breaks the speed of light when it slides down a wall.

I thought maybe I wouldnt get my math minor (need 2 more classes) but im considering it now. If I could do it over again a math major would be my first choice.

LOL, I did a double take because my font made math look like meth.

I miss math about as much as one would miss cancer.

One of the requirements I had in choosing my major was that I never be required to do ANY math in college, EVER.

man how can you hate on something so logical and beautiful. I didnt even get into any of the really cool stuff and I loved it. Just imagine what would have happened if I did get into the cool stuff. Kinda BLOWS YOUR MIND!

Math is nice up to a certain point, but pages of integrals are not fun. Physics > Math

Riemann Sheets, yuck

Mmm.. taking precalc next semester. I've already taken calc way back in High school, but that was 6 years ago.

I thought I missed math. I took college algebra this year in college, after not taking math since high school 10 years ago, and it kicked my arse. I did much better in english comp than I was expecting though.

because its boring

You call that math? Real math is stuff like Holder's Theorm, Lebesgue's Integrals, Sylow's Theorem, Galois Theory, studying metric spaces, and Lie Representation Theory. Oh, and add in some complex analysis and fourier series and you're in business.
