What do you consider the most difficult math stuff of what you've studied?

[Jason]

I'd say it would be certain chapters in linear algebra. They deal with subspaces etc. It reads like Greek 😀.

 

[Cory]

Probably anything past division.

 

[Arantor]

Some of the higher calculus stuff is pretty wild, but all the normal stuff that you learn all comes into programming, so I got most of it sorted.

Probably the area I have most difficulty with is combinatorials.

 

[Jane]

I HATE maths,,.HATE it, My teacher was a witch, I wished so many things on that woman..none of them pleasant. 🤬🤬

 

[Debashis]

Coming from a science background in school and later being an engineering student, I was quite good at mathematics and still am. The problems that I found slightly difficult to solve were related to calculus. The ones which were a mix of integration, differentiation and limits if I recall correctly.

You need laugh miss Debashis..😂😂 the woman was EVIL..I swear she had horns, Hateful old sow she was. She had favourites…needless to say I wasn't one of them. Good! Miserable old battleaxe.

Special relativity was rather difficult for me. The calculations themselves weren't too difficult (they were just matrix multiplication), but the justifications behind why I was doing what I was doing were tough.

Modular forms were rather complicated too.

 

[Jason]

I think the teaching makes a big difference. That's why these online vids are so popular. Also, its because, as noted, so much reads like stereo instructions. 😃

 

[Arantor]

I hate online videos for almost every single subject. They either go far too fast to keep up, or more often too slowly, repeating the same point 3 or 4 times over in different ways, and I'm desperately wishing for the presenter to just get on with it.

Give me a blog explaining it any day.

 

[Jason]

OK, I made a breakthrough tonight. What you gotta do is keep pushing at it. Anyway, I'm still a ways off from passing a certification exam, though.

Algebraic topology made me feel insecure in my ability to visualize things. Differential topology was a giant exercise in keeping definitions together, which was quite difficult.

Where did you learn that? Was that part of learning to code?

I was crap at it Part of the science class I did at the time, was interesting regards space but I can't work things out. I was not good at algebra and that was needed, I mean you had to know you algebra

I took advanced Math classes in high school. 9th grade was Advanced Algebra 1, 10th grade was Advanced Geometry, and 11th grade was Advanced Algebra 2. The 11th grade math was awful and very difficult. So much so that I didn't take ANY math at all my Senior year.

Aside from some geometry (I'm in construction), I use none of that in real life, lol.

What in Gods name is that? 🤔 See this is another reason I HATED maths..including the sow of a teacher…half of it doesn't make sense!

Google it hahahaha

 

[Jane]

This is the answer,, roughly translates to gibberish
______

What is advanced geometry?


Advanced Geometry integrates a traditional deductive approach with an inductive approach and an emphasis on problem-solving skills. Students discover and apply the properties of transformation, congruence, similarity, and trigonometry to solve problems about triangles and other figures.

Definitely things like long division, algebra, and geometry that I struggled with and eventually gave up trying to understand.

 

[Toni]

Algebra and those difficult worded questions. I never understood them.
Even finding the square root. I don't understand it. I have always hated maths because I never understood anything like this.

Same Toni, Gibberish to me. HATED it..especially the teacher.hateful old witch she was.
