Here's the thing. I hated math since i was born. But when i went to college and i failed my college algebra college, i loved math. Since then, i studied math and really, i loved it. So, have you ever had a change of heart in loving something, particularly math?

I have always hated math with a passion. I have always been terrible at it and never understood it at all. I have not had a change of heart about it yet though. Lol.

I'm in an on and off relationship with math for many years now. Laziness just gets in the way. I could be good at it if I persevere but that's not the case. I fall head over heels with maths everytime I got it right, and if I got it wrong I'll figure out the right answer with incomparable passion. But when something else comes up I abandoned math and back to it again when I need to, and fall in love again. The cycle continues. But I don't think he is the one.

He he he. That is a good way to put up with all the stress you get from math. So i think laziness is a defense mechanism of getting away from stressful advanced mathematics. He he he. I hope i learn your method and adopt it. :D

I'm afraid not. Laziness in maths is a pure disaster. Don't adopt that method, you'll be screwed! Anyway, since you're good in maths maybe I should ask you some few questions on my maths studies. You don't mind do you? Sure you're really good at trigonometry and all that?

I think i kind of hated math sometimes, but i love it most of the times.. Since it is fun and really useful in everyday life. And it has definite answers, since there is always a solution to every problem..

He he. That's right. Although there are some good problems or good questions, that have no good solution or good answer. He he he. Cheers for a problemful life that keeps us going on. :D

Hmm.. I see. Language is pretty interesting as well and most people say that when we are good at language, we are weak at math. But i guess it really depends. I hope you love math again in the near future. He he he

I don't really like it back when in college, but i'm still have good enough grade to pass. Calculus I and II is needed for my future study so i take them and got A and B, but i never really understand why i need them because none of my future study used them.

I agree with you. I think they just serve as a mind sharpener and intelligence enhancer. He he he. I guess i improved at logic and deductive reasoning after studying some mathematics problem for months. He he he. :D

I have always loved math. This does not mean I was always good at it or that I always understood it. I love logical problems and to me a lot with math is logic. Always enjoyed trying to figure it all out.

I'm glad we both like logical problems. It keeps the mind young and sharp and i love being sharp. He he he. Let's think out of the box some more. Cheers to mathematics! :D

I dont know but man, I get dizzy when it comes to numbers LOL. Kidding aside, I love numbers, but only if its addition, subtraction or multiply but when it comes to algebra or other stuffs associated with other signs, no way, I dont have a clue. I remember when I was little, I love calculating numbers, adding them, subtracting them or multiplying them. I always imagine I am a cashier or a teller. Its just so funny I finished management but is leaning towards a teller job :D

He he he. Well, be the best in where you are good at. The purpose, they say, of other mathematics subject such as algebra and such, is that they increase your I.Q. Making you more sharp and intelligent. So i guess, because i am in enhancing my intelligence, i loved math. He he he. Cheers for your teller job. :D

I know a little about this thing. Even though I am not very good in application of formulas, I can still understand some problems by solving it on my own. I also had taken some mathematics subject when I enrolled in Bachelor of Education after having my college degree. When I was studying, one thing I wanted about examinations in mathematics is that if I solved the problem and got an answer similar to one of the choices given, I'm sure I've got a correct answer. Presently, we used mathematics in our everyday life and it is also important that we know a little about it. Although my present job does not deal on this area, still knowing math is also a big help for me.

I agree with you. It really sharpens the mind and still helps you in every aspect of your life whether we are aware or not. He he he
