Re: The topic of 750 pages. Seriously, that's it.

You need Algebra for statistics, which is required for Psychologists, any scientist at all.

Oh, and the answer is 6.25 grams

No, I need the function, silly.

lol math fail.

I need help with my algebra homework. Cookie to whoever can make the function.

Remaining amount == original amount * .5^years/period

where years is the amount of time that has passed in years and period is the number of years per half-life.

May I have the cookie transferred to my account, please?

What? I love math. I can't help it. :P

[TP Zelda]

Yeaaaaaaaaahnoooooooooooooo  :P

I hate math, and it hates me. I don't understand it. It's reallllyyy confusing.

I only know how to add and subtract  :P

[Twilight Wolf]

Pfft. Just wait until you start stuff like factoring polynomials. That's where it starts getting fun.

[TP Zelda]

wth is that?

[The Glamour Nazi]

Pure.... Evil....

[MagmarFire]

wth is that?

It's when you convert polynomials into smaller "-nomials."

For instance, the factored form of x² - 64 would be (x-8)(x+8), for when you FOIL the two binomials, you get back to where you started.

I may be biased, so feel free to prove me wrong, but I personally see no need for it other than simplification in certain situations.

Heck I see no need for math at all... ???

Uhm, how can I prove you wrong when I have no idea what you're talking about?  :P

That last sentence was directed more at everyone in general, actually. Apologies for the confusion.

[Hi no Seijin]

Trust me, you'll need at least basic math in just about everyday life.

Just do your math teacher(s) a favor and don't ask, "When am I ever going to use this?"  Unless, you know, you take an interest in that particular branch of math and want to know what jobs make use of it.
