2.7? I had a 3.6 college GPA from taking college courses last two years of high school. Its an associates in liberal arts.

4.2 gpa at high school. Now that I think back though, it honestly didn't matter what my grades were then. I went to a small state school on a free ride and lost every single scholarship I had after my first semester fuckup, so it didn't matter whether I had a 3.0 or a 5.0 lmao.

Above average, but not better. Went to a european high-school specialized for computer science/engineering. I had a D in maths and hated it because it consisted of brainless memorization and practice. Which always felt odd to me, since I remember having an extraordinary talent at maths as a kid, doing integer arithmetic at the age of 4, inventing my own division algorithm, doing exercises 5 years above me, deriving some geometric formulas, etc.

So I decided to give it a try and study maths, and now I get straight As (In my second year now). I finally understand all the concepts behind calculus, and all the calc problems engineers struggle with are so trivial to me. Engineering maths sucks donkey cocks, but most engineers never realise that there exists a maths out there that is sensible.

We need a rigorous introduction to maths from middle school on, or people in the future will understand it as little as they do today.

>most engineers never realise that there exists a maths out there that is sensible.
This so much

I loved math, also did a lot of it before school and wanted to go into a math heavy field. so everyone told me (engineers, teachers, family members) to go into engineering because you do a lot of high level math in it, so I did. It was a lof of fun the first 2 years, we did linear algebra, calc, some numerical shit,... and then it stopped. At that time i studied enough math along the side to realize that engineers dont do shit. Now after my engineering degree im doing a pure math degree and finally enjoy studying.

Also, when I tell people im doing a math degree for fun because I love math, they will say shit like "oh, yay, I love math too, im doing some more advanced math in my spare time as well" and them they show me the "advanced math" books and problems...
>5 horses start running at the same time, horse 1 is twice as fast as no 2, no 3 is in the lead, 4 is accelerating at 5m/s..., how fast is each horse running?
then i just smile and tell them 'nice' and then I go and squat.

Perfect. 4.0 unweighted up to my last semester, got 2 Bs then because I absolutely didn't give a shit and had already been rejected from college. 4.9 weighted overall. Also didn't get valedictorian because even though the valedictorian got a B in one of his classes and I didn't, he took AP stats as an elective sophomore year while I took a bullshit shop class and it became mathematically impossible for me to surpass him unless he got a second B, we both took multiple online AP classes outside of school as well.

Needless to say I learned my lesson in college, I still tried to do what I needed to learn the material but didn't really give a shit about points or putting in the extra effort, smoking weed and having fun is more important than meaningless academic bullshit. Graduated magna cum laude with a 3.6.

I'm having a hard time adjusting my attitude to grad school though, I can still get decent grades with little effort but putting in the extra time isn't necessary just to get good grades, it's necessary to actually learn the shit at the level I should be learning it and I'm just so used to getting the required work done and go smoke weed it is very hard to change.

>quit his engineering degree to pursue what he enjoys the most

You're a bro. When I talk to engineers they always think that learning well-founded maths would load their heads with an even heavier burden, while in fact it makes things much easier. You can literally throw away all these tomes of "formulary" because you can derive every single formula in no time.

The reason I am so mad at "eng. maths" or "cookbook maths" is because I would have almost studied fucking ECON. My teachers were engineers and economists, my parents studied medicine and liberal arts, I had no fucking clue what maths actually was. The ignorance of the people around me almost permanently expelled me from paradise (you can't start learning maths after 25).

There is one more reason for maths: We are facing an intelligence revolution, and within a short time-period most jobs will become redundant. Hundreds of millions of people will be losing their jobs once automation becomes cost-efficient, within a day! In such a world, can we allow ourselves, not to teach our children rigorous math? If the 10 year old kids of today are raised to study econ/law/medicine/math-less jobs, they will be filling out welfare checks in 13 years - every single one of them.

Maths is the last bastion of the human mind. Those who neglect it, will be replaced by machines. Kurzweil envisions a world were everyone will have brain implants equally, but his vision is false. There is no "individuality", morality, humanity between brains that differ orders of magnitudes in processing power. You people rest in your little first world bubbles of food, entertainment, sex and warm homes, but it won't last. AI is coming for us fast, and there is nothing we can do to stop it, nothing we should do. We can either contribute to it, imprint our little part on it, so through it we can live on, or be deleted from the pages of evolution forever. So learn maths or perish kids, learn some fucking maths!

Sorry for the rant.

I hear arguments like this a lot but there's no reason to believe that when this happens being unemployed will be as bad as it is now.

A society where a majority of the people have nothing to do will have to be radically different in order to function at all. There's only so many people that can be scientists or artists or whatever and the rest won't just be content with living on welfare so we'll have to rethink our economy in some way

Probably about a B-.

Lotsa ADD, never really did homework in highschool, and such my grade suffered. Always did excellent on tests and quizzes, so i could get by not doing homework. The thing is, I can never really focus on work unless it's challenging, or I'll just zone out. I took too many AP classes to remember, and just took 3 exams for shits and giggles at the end of the year cuz my school would pay. Ended up with a years worth of college credits from just AP stuff.

Now I'm going for two degrees, one in math and one in physics, in the honors program in my school. I'm gettin sum great grades because there's a lot less tediuos busy work assigned as homework, and the stuff that does get assigned is challenging.

Sure, I think about that occasionally. If there were a way to magically make me as interested in physics (I'm a physicist) as Feynman, then that would be great.

Ausfag here, we didn't have a GPA, but we had this somewhat complicated system that ranked you against every other high school student graduating that year which scales everyone according to your relative performance and what actual classes you took. Like performing mediocre in a difficult class like physics ended up being better than perfect marks in some bullshit liberal arts class.

Ended up with 92.60 (out of a possible 99.95). Number is supposed to represent the percentage likelihood that I would succeed in university. The number is used to place people into theuniversities/ courses they pick. (Like you need xx.xx minimum to get into course ABC etc.)

Ended up doing pharmacy at university. High school was dumb as fuck.

Still got a respectable 26 on the ACT though, so not a fuck was given. Sitting at a 2.54 GPA in college right now, so I'll see about giving more fucks in my upper level classes, and maybe that'll bring me up to speed. Or I'll fall on my face. Either way, it'll be a good ride.

First of all, at any good uni, engineers take verbatim exactly the same calc and lower level math classes as math majors, as offered by the math department for the first two years. Secondly, very few engineers struggle in calc., it's fequently seen as an easy A compared to more difficult engineering science classes. Thirdly there is no such thing as "Engineering maths", they use the same textbooks as you and the courses are usually proof based and rigorous.

It's not, you people are delusional and >>6926570 is right. Most of us on /sci/ were bored in high-school just like all of you are claiming, and we spent our high-school days reading uni textbooks or partying. Personally I was rarely in classes after teachers gave me special permission to practice my sports as long as I got good grades. Then we study the curriculum specific material a day before or the morning on the test (because usually it's never more than 100-200 pages of super easy material) and got our As.

I'm sorry, but you aren't some special snowflake, only retards don't get As with minimal effort in HS. If you felt you were "too smart" for the material then you were still a massive fucktard for not putting in the 2 hours or so before a test for your own future.

This is so common with females and asians, it's because you work too hard in HS and try to memorize everything, meanwhile white males learn the vital skill of understanding material after skimming, they have to learn how to learn efficiently because they're usually busy with so much more shit during HS.

You should've played more sports and socialized more in HS (and also study something outside the curriculum once and a while), then you would have both an easy time academically and with networking. And you wouldn't complain about cis white males getting the high salary jobs.
