A Sigh if Relief from the Whole Class

[Kakashi Hatake_Yamato]

At the beginning of class, our math TA said we hand a quiz at the end of class, but he figured since it was the last discussion section and the week before the final, he said that we all will work on it together. So it was basically a free 10 points. Then everyone let out a sigh of relief because it seemed like no one studied.

And I heard a girl behind me say: "That bas****!" (Referring to the professor who told the TA's to give a quiz)

What math course is it?

[Kakashi Hatake_Yamato]

Calc. for the sciences

Ya that would be just about any. I am pretty sure the starting level for that is integrations and approximations...that class was always a little challenging!

If I was the TA I would have given extra quizes.

for like the first week or so we reviewed some trig stuff then went into the harder calc stuff.
Can't imagine what next quarter's class will be like...

heh. The class would probably be throwing pencils at you. Heheh

I always thought calc was easier than trig, as long as you understand trig, calc has a lot of shortcuts you can take (as long as you can understand the long way around). I just think it looks a whole lot more intimidating than it is.

I remember when I took numbers theory and combinatorics, the concepts required you to really let go of a lot of preconceived thoughts you had about numbers (which was the hard part) but at their core, they really weren't all that hard...people just look at you funny when you study because you talk to yourself a lot :-D

[Kakashi Hatake_Yamato]

hm. There are some parts that are easier. But still kinda hard nonetheless. Yea. It is really helpful to know those shortcuts.


Hahaha. I remember someone who said that too. Talking to yourself a lot.

[Wooster]

Mmm, group theory is where it's at. *drools*

[SilentBlade]

ya, people look at you like your crazy when you talk yourself through those problem..I swear they thought I was completely crazy!
