Algieba is useful and has it's roots firmly planted in reality.

Calculus I still is somewhat grounded but Calculus II is like trying to build on the thousand story scaffolding that is Calc II and by that point you can't even see the ground, you're off in space.

The reasoning behind not being able to use our calculators to do most of the work for us is also questionable. The same professors would also champion the statement "work smarter, not harder" if asked if they agree with it.

The problem being that if you don't know how to work "hard" you never will fully understand why it works. The only reason we can benefit from things that make our lives easier (such as calculators) is because of those who were able to convert their "hard work" into "smart work."

Maybe we can make it so only people with a University education/ currently in one and finally those older than 19, I think that will filter out some of those people

University attendance is not a guarantee that one can conduct himself in a respectable manner.

A University education is not a measure of higher intelligence either but that is another can of worms.

Algebra is like breathing to me, bu I've had friends in college that I helped who could barely factor.
See this is why I'm majoring in something that doesn't involve math! Math is not my strong suit

That's also why I said older than 19

Well said. Also age is not a guarantee that one can conduct himself in a respectable manner.

now THAT is certainly true
do you know what really makes me mad? that the NR didn't make as many different SSDs as the empire. they would have won much faster had they done so. it's just not fair. but, if their were more NR SSDs, they would be absolute SUPER-CARRIERS.

but, i'm a member of the PA at heart, and my wish here is to join the ranks of grand admirals... sorry, the elite imperial alignment

I can imagine that goes well in arguments... "AT LEAST I'M NOT DATING A 12 YEAR OLD"

My dad is a contractor that hasn't grown up yet either. He has a few hundred hot wheels on his office walls and he built a track for his toy trains to drive around his office while he is working. He even welds metal animals out of scrap metal when he's bored.

I think that's called having a badass hobby.

How come I haven't commented on this thread yet, it's so awesome. Everyone seems to hang out here most of the time :D
"To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering" - Friedrich Nietzsche

"Maybe those nihilist philosophers are right; maybe this is all we can expect of the universe, a relentless crushing of life and spirit, because the equilibrium state of the cosmos is death" - Arthur C. Clarke

"We even ignited the first atomic bomb on the day commemorating the transfiguration of Christ, thus unconsciously signaling that we intended likewise to transform the world, not only after the light but after darkness - with a blast that burned several times hotter than the surface of the sun." - Stanislav Grof, "Human Survival and Consciousness Evolution"

It's basically this forum's version of a Random Chat thread by now.
