For me, I was able to sit up today without needing something to hold onto. Not as good as an A in math but then again I've never gotten an A in math...
I almost fell off my chair choking when i heard I got an A. Seriously, I thought I was useless. its Data Handling too, which i despise.

I despise math as a whole.

I despise math as both a fraction and a whole.

I was really good at math until 8th grade, at which point I became utter shit at it. My 12th grade calculus class might as well have been taught to me in Mandarin, and I ended up getting a grade of about 65 for the course.

I've never yet run into an area of math I couldn't comprehend.

I'm decent at Algebra, Calculus and Trigonometry, but I just dislike the repetitious nature of math in general. I'd prefer to let a calculator do the boring parts.

Technically, this magnitude could be any value between 0 and 2 (in vector addition) depending on the relative angle of the two vectors. :mrgreen:

Calculus was ok, but I enjoyed chemistry and physics mostly. It's been quite sometime since I had to study that stuff so now it's recessed into brain sludge from when I went to high school and college.

I like math. I can even remember years ago when the math I was learning actually had numbers in it.

My grade 10 and 11 math teacher was a gym teacher, guess how well that turned out for me.

I like math and I'm pretty good at it....I've doubled up in my math courses the last two years to get ahead...

heck, I'll settle for one letter per equation at this point.
