MONDAY MIRTH No 14
I am not sure you would call this real humour but it something I have said many times during my adult life. I never understood, or enjoyed, algebra (or decimals for that matter) although I am sure it stood some people in good stead if they went on to a profession where that type of mathematics was needed.

Maths was NEVER my favourite subject. I come from a maths oriented family and missed out on the gene. Algebra I can (sometimes) see uses for. Trigonometry? Never. Ever.
ReplyDeleteMy dad was great at maths and mum not far behind. I did enjoy straight arithmetic and geometry 'cos I enjoy geometric figures. I guess English was my favourite subject. Never had any dealings with trigonometry or logarithms, thank goodness.

ReplyDeleteHehehe, well I guess in daily living, it is not something which is much required; simple arithmetic perhaps; or the odd application of logic... it's a peculiarity of mine that I can cope with the higher functioning stuff; but times tables and logarithms? Yeeeeecchhhh... But overall I like numbers. YAM xx
Love times tables and straight maths but not the higher levels. Phil understands them although not sure about logarithms.
DeleteI am better with letters than numbers. There is a show on SBS which involves both and I am good with the letters but not with the numbers so that proves a point. xx
I'm with you and this has become a motto that I love to live by!!
ReplyDeleteA woman after my own heart. Nice to know I am not the only one!
DeleteAh, there's a subtle side to maths that solidly undergirds a task that advances us all through everyday life --that we must regularly solve for unknowns. It helps to know there is a exact arithmetic foundation to the process even if I can't remember all the axioms and procedures.
ReplyDeleteThe higher maths are a little beyond my Geo. Fortunately I never needed that knowledge. There are aspects of simple maths I enjoy but that's as far as it goes.
DeleteDecimals were easy for me, but I never understood algebra. I did like geometry though, all those angles and triangles.
ReplyDeleteMy dad tried with decimals and so has Phil but I can never remember where the decimal point goes. (*:*)
DeleteI enjoyed geometry as I love geometric figures but never really got to grips with it as a subject.
