[Anonymous No.12583726]

Every day my life is made better because I know how to read. I can engage with the world in a much more nuanced way because of it. I use my ability to read literally every day.
But I have never, ever, not even once, used y=mx+b outside of a classroom setting. Nor have I used the pythagorean theorem. Nor have I had to FOIL. Nor have I had to calculate standard deviation of a data set by hand. The only time I ever do math is when paying someone for something, and even then it's only simple arithmetic.
That's why it's perfectly acceptable to be bad at math, but it's not acceptable to be bad at reading.

You could say reading is pointless because people could just tell you the words. Math is one of the most fundamental things ever and is not useless

[Anonymous No.12583739]

>>12583732
That is simply untrue. Reading is not pointless because you can get useful information more quickly through reading than you can from someone reading to you. Consequently, you can absorb a larger amount of information over time by reading than you can by having someone read to you. What you read doesn't have to be specific at all; you can even gain a large number of skills through reading alone.
The same cannot be said of math. Simply put, calculus is not applicable to the daily lives of the vast majority of people in any way, shape, or form.
Suppose you have the following day:
>Wake up
>Shit, shower, shave, etc
>Eat some food
>Go to work in a place where you aren't crunching numbers all day
>Go to the gym
>Get dinner
>Entertain yourself
>Sleep

This is true, most people simply don't need math and OP is making a false equivalence by comparing it to reading. There is only a very small number of people who need math in order to do their job while almost everyone needs basic reading skills. It would be like complaining that most people don't know the law: most people only have a very rough understanding of the law, and if they need more detailed knowledge for any reason whatsoever they just hire a lawyer. OP wants everyone to be a genius polymath who knows everything about everything.

I enjoy studying math in the same way that some people enjoy reading poetry, but I do not expect many people to be very interested in poetry.

Maths teaching is the last great class divide in the first world. I'll definitely tutor or send my kids to tutor in maths. Frankly it's the only grade I'd ever give a fuck about as I was a 'bad at maths' fag all my youth. Went to a maths tutor later on in life and he told me my mental arithmetic was the fasted he'd tutored once I had a concept taught properly.

My high school named itself a 'School for humanities' by the time I'd finished there. Only offered 'Foundation Maths' where a C was the highest possible grade and no maths at all after GCSE which is Diploma level. Don't know why my Architecture degree father didn't take offense to this.

What are your hobbies im genuinely curious, when people say they have never used algebra outside of school I have a hard time believing it.

Im not a math god or anything, I struggled hard with high school algebra but even still I've used math so much on my own. I learned a lot of geometry and trig when I used to draw as a teenager so I could draw full page tessellations faster and have them look consistent. As an adult I don't draw much anymore but I do 3D stuff and code shaders which is a lot of trig and linear algebra. You mention pythagorean theorem, even in 3rd grade I was trying to find out the relationship between the length of sides on a triangle with my basic ass multiplication and division skills. I was off base and didnt know the importance of right angles and all that but I recognized there was something there.

Even when playing videogames I have spent a lot of time tweaking settings and my pc to make things as visually smooth and comfortable as possible.

Though I can't say i've used much beyond basic calculus outside of work/school.

Even outside of literal numbers and equations when I look at things I think of how they are assembled, how they fit together, and how their pieces work together; that is in the same realm of thinking as math. Do you not think about these things at all? What are you thinking about all the time?

Math is such a good tool, and its really interesting to know how stuff works together, I don't know why people write it off so much.

The interesting thing about math is you get to use it without even knowing it. Have you ever ran late for anything? How do you even know when you are late? So you are picking and choosing which portions of math are important for you. Let's look at algebra. have you ever shopped around for deals in a grocery store? Price per weight is plain division. If you are shopping on a budget, you are working directly with inequalities following a more complicated version of y=mx+b, where y is your budget line.
I guess you don't do any of that.

They mean they do general simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to get through general tasks like how much things cost at a shop, how long it will take to do something(s) etc etc. They never do anything that requires a formula or beyond primary school knowledge.
Hell i'd consider myself quite good at maths. getting top grades in my uni classes in biomechanics (basic bitch physics applied to sport/human movement), but as i dont actually work in biomechanics i never use anything beyond the basic 4 math techniques learned in primary school
I build PCs, i play PC games, i am learning a second language, i go to the gym, i work in a warehouse doing stocktake and pick/packing. None of that requires anything but the most basic adding up/subtracting. Yet as i say im great at maths. So for people who aren't great at it i cant imagine how/why they would be using much maths at all.

>Why is it socially acceptable to say this?
It's the truth.
It's also not there fault.

I was bad at math to because in public school (pre internet) I was taught the PEMDAS method, and the teacher specifically taught us to solve multiplication before division and addition before subtraction. She taught us that 3 / 3 * 2 was 0.5, not 2. Following that logic I got most advanced math problems wrong, even thought I understood the concepts I was still doing the math in PEMDAS order and thus getting the wrong answers. I would have never even found had it not been for internet memes about stupid Americans who use this retarded method.

How is byzantine history a fundamental topic?
It has literally no effect on anyones everyday life.
Yes they will have invented things/techniques that live on allowed what we have now, but that is not an actual reason for someone to know about them. Hell even the people involved in furthering inventions or ideas based on things from that time dont need to know as long as they know the details of what they work on.

In Canada 20 years ago I learned BEDMAS, which is the same thing, except the B is for "brackets", which I believe is an inaccurate name for the ( ) symbols. Now we teach PEMDAS with a P.
However, either way you spell it, we ALSO learned that multiplication and division were on the same "level", as were addition and subtraction, so it's more like PE(M/D)(A/S). It was/is then taught that when you're faced with similar-level symbols in a row (6/3*2) or (6+3-2), you solve them left-to-right, as you would read a written sentence. (6/3*2=4)

It's even worse. You are required to have a bachelor’s degree specifically in education.
So the only people who become teachers are the people who knew they wanted to be teachers right out of high school.

The kind of people who don't think it's a bad idea to take out a $55,000+ loan to get a degree that only allows them to get a job that pays slightly above minimum wage and always has more teachers than teaching positions.

>But I thought you had to take advanced math to get a bachelors degree
For non-stem fields my college offered 'college algebra 1 and 2' to fill math credits.
It's a repeat of elementary and high school algebra and you only need a D to still get full credit thanks to the GPA system. This is how how so many people who can't do math have college degrees.

Yep, we never got that part. We were told to memorize it as "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally" and to do math the same as you read the sentence, Parenthesis first, then exponents, then division, then multiplication, then addition, then subtraction.

it depends on your acceleration function but assuming constant proper acceleration, just use the equations for motion along a straight line from relativity and plug in t=30 for velocity to solve for proper acceleration (A) and plug that and t=30 into the equation for position.

Nothing. He did nothing, changed nothing, then decided that everyone else does nothing but pass somehow.
He thinks in vague generalities even though there is a specific list of things he could do to easily pass the class. Just open the book try to solve a problem and instead of whining that you can't solve it you should actually figure out why you can't solve it.

but they do. sort of.
the basic math literacy is there, people know how to read basic equations and basic math problems, they just don't know how to use it much.
consider the following:
>"i'm bad with words"
>"i'm bad at talking to girls"
>"i'm bad at sports"
>"i'm bad at asserting myself"
(the last one is mostly true for girls and women, but more commonly also males that never experienced any hardship)

do you think these statements are similar to "i'm bad at math"? i think they are.
i guarantee you, these are words most posters will be comfortable uttering.

however, i share your belief that this is not acceptable. if you're bad at something, work on it, fix it. these are all essential skills, and you should be at least able to get to basic level, or fall into special needs category.

but do you need to go so far as to say your bad at it? I haven't touched anything math related since high school, but I was good at it then, now I don't remember any of it but I woudn't say i'm bad because of that because I assume people are asking about your ability or nature to learn it, if you are saying you're bad you're arguing you are bad at it fundamentally in a way practice can't fix

Are you European?
I had an English teacher who taught us stat - tute was the correct way to pronounce statue, and cackalator was the correct way to pronounce calculator.
Also had a PE teacher fill in for a math teacher halfway through a semester who told us to go see one of the other math teachers after class with any questions we had.
