Anyone here a math fan?  I took a sprint math test in study hall today as a tryout for the mathcounts team.  Mathcounts was by far my favorite (one of few) experience of 7th grade.  It's great, because my teacher brings in yummylicious substances for us to eat while we do funtastic math problems.  We totally dominated regionals to make it to Madison for state, which was one of the funnest experiences of my life.  One of my math fellows bought a game at the mall and every time the game passed through a security thing, the beeper thing would go off.... ah, good times.

Well I am currently studying Alevel maths and further maths, and if not loving the experience, not hating it either.

What kind of stuff you guys learning? I'm in third year Aero engineering myself.

Arghh... math...

 

I did the advanced math and bullshit in high school because I wanted to take physics in university as my minor.

 

I had an odd course load that first time in university... atomic velocity distribution and ethical business practices?

 

Screws with your head!

 

Never go through for your MBA while studying Physics lol

I have no idea how the American system works. Next year I'll (hopefully) be off to uni studying Medicine. Further Maths topics, well currently doing matrix algebra with complex numbers and differential calculus.

Into eigenvalues yet? fun stuff that

Nope not that advanced yet. Im doing all sorts of modules of pure maths, mechanics, statistics and decisions maths. It's all good  ;)

Nice lol. Quick test: What is the derivative of 2x*e^x?

Bleh, I hated maths when I was in school. I did far better with history and languages.

Math ceased to be fun when I hit differential calculus with geometric shapes >_<

 

And I don't feel like to that derivative lol.

I like history, but I'm no good at essays.  :(

Nice lol. Quick test: What is the derivative of 2x*e^x?

 

Hehe the old product rule:

 

2xe^x + 2e^x

Correct!  ;D

;D oh yeah

I love math, but I'm currently in geometry which is a drag.  It's so boring and the teacher drone's on about things I already know.  At least I get algebra 2 next year.  Algebra is fun!

Calculus is better!

That has to be the first time I've ever heard that :D

Calculus is the Don.

I love math :)  Linear Algebra is my favorite so far.

Nice lol. Quick test: What is the derivative of 2x*e^x?

 

7.

So close!  :D

 

Here is another:

 

What is the antiderivative of x*sin(x)?

wait, i got this one!

 

Its.... 7?

Not this time.

So close!  :D

 

Here is another:

 

What is the antiderivative of x*sin(x)?

 

sin(x) - xcos(x) + c

d²x/dt² + x = 0

 

Find the general solution for x.
