The Battle of AnTETam

I agree with you, but school is forcing me to learn about stuff I'll probably never use. *cough*Quadratic formula*cough*

Quadratic formula is easy peasy, and reasonably useful if you're ever modelling curves.

Well, I know, it just gets really annoying when your algebra teacher has been giving you worksheet after worksheet on the quadratci formula for the past month...

[Ethel mermania]

I've used that out of school, I think?

I'm still trying to figure out what practical real life uses it has. Hell, I'm still trying to figure out if I need that for a career in meteorology...Maybe to find how long it takes a raindrop to reach the ground?

Yes, thermal dynamics.

Seriously? All it is is (-b±√b²-4ac)/2a. Not exactly complex.

What does that mean in english tho?

If you have an equation that looks like this:
a(x²)+bx+c=0
and a, b, and c are numbers you know, and x is a number you don't, you can substitute a, b, and c into the equation
(-b±√b²-4ac)/2a to get the possible values for x.

For example, if you had x²+5x+6=0, the possible values for x could be found by using the equation
(-5±√(5²-4*1*6))/2*1 which gives you the numbers -2 and -3 as the possible values for x. Is that any clearer?

Ah now I remember it. I was terribad at math due to number dyslexia, formulas are easy though just plug stuff in and please excuse my dear aunt sally it

It means the reverse transcriptase survived the nucleotide synthesis

Isn't this the third time the "you need this math stuff for the career path you want to go down" back and forth has come up in here in recent memory?

Extremely sunburnt and I am ready for it to be gone.

Truly cross disciplinary work in my Engineer's thesis:
Handcrafting Stencils for spray-painting, because teacher wants that I mark with spray paint names of subsystems and components in photovoltaic system, on the part of rig they're going to be mounted on.
And I was ready to use label maker.
Then again I guess this results in more stylish appereance.

I didn't say it was hard or complex, I just said that it's annoying when you have a month's worth of worksheets, quizzes, and tests that all deal with the same equation. It's easy for me, it's just annoying and takes forever. Especially if you have to keep the damned radicand, and not turn it into a decimal...

Yeah. I'm well past anything that straightforward now. I really like maths but complex numbers (Numbers which are partially expressed in terms of the square root of -1) can fuck right off.

Well, start peeling. We'll wait

Second time...iirc...idk anymore...

That's what I meant. It's just a formula. No point in making you repeat it over and over.

Make sure to poor some lemon juice on it, and some salt for good measure.

Wouldn't put "stubbornly slow to accept reality/fact" on your CV if I were you, just fyi.

...it over and over. it over and over. it over and over. it over and over. it over and over. it over and over. it over and over. it over and over.

I am not that version of me that understands this.

Why do you want us to overtax condiments?

Sounds like bad ideas.

The teacher thinks I and everyone else in my class needs special help on this stuff. It's Algebra 2 Semester 1, when It's Semester 2 for everything else. I got put in there because my first algebra 2 teacher from this year recommended it for me, since my grades were dropping in that class. Plus everyone in that class tries to act like they're from the ghetto, when my school and everyone in there lives in glorious suburbia with middle-class/rich families.

Because, if the salt goes up, the pepper goes down. The spice must flow.

My personal favourite is "You'll learn this next year, no need to do it" *next year* "You should've learnt this last year"
