(Anonymous) 2013-09-18 07:39 am (UTC)(link)Okay. I'll always be bitter about math. I always sucked at math in high-school. In college you need a 'C' grade or better in order to transfer, and I went through hell. I tried, I ACTUALLY TRIED. I spent hours on homework. I spent $80 for the access code for the online shit we had to do. I put so much sweat and tears into it... and I still got a 'D' which is no good to me. The study guide and the test were completely different. We were allowed one index card to write whatever formulas or info to use on the test, so naturally I put the formulas needed for the problems on the study guide. Come test time the index card means fuck all because he threw in everything else that was NOT on the study guide for the test instead.
So now I'm in math again. I have a test tomorrow, and I have to deal with the 4th and 5th dimension or some shit. Hypercubes and hyperhypercubes and other shit I never hear about unless it's in a math class. So excuse me as I go figure out how the hell to perceive the 7th dimension with my 3 dimensional mind.

Okay, I've always been a science/English person, and I like thinking about 4+ dimensional objects, but otherwise? This has pretty much been my experience.
(In my case, it made college... Just not worth the trouble. I barely passed the lowest remedial math course, and going through that didn't improve my skills at all, so I decided that it would be in my best interest to bug out. I GAVE IT THE GOOD OL' LITERAL COLLEGE TRY.)

(Anonymous) 2013-09-18 08:19 am (UTC)(link)That's because math is very poorly taught. It's presented in a way that only speed learners can pick it up. There isn't even a good grounding to the subject in most courses. A very good teacher who has an understanding of this can teach the subject to almost anyone. Unfortunately these teachers are very hard to find.
I've picked up books and workbooks and taught myself math through calculus and onwards, so I can express those n-dimensional objects as spinors and manifolds. My mind just had to work through it differently from how it is presented in classes.
