Never stop doing math

I took a bit of a hiatus and decided to go back a couple math classes when I return to university and just do Honors Calc II to give myself a break/review semester but still learn some more (I took common Calc II last time, like 4 years ago).
And man, working through my Calc 1 text again... Even my algebra has atrophied. I got a freakin A+ in this class, but now even like "completing the square"... like, WTF is that again?
DONT DO THIS TO YOURSELVES, plus math helps so much with general thinking. Hell, Calculus 1 even had some concepts that were useful to me in the Philosophy side of my degrees (Doing computer science and philo, with a classical philo emphasis).
MATH THE FUCK UP PPL 
Don't do this to yourselves 
Straum's has awesome problem books that give solutions and even walkthroughs for the problems.
I'm going to start doing at least a few math problems every day, even when I don't need to and am "done with math" (like we ever are).
Math on, Shroomery. Math on!

I went back to school and I told my department head I didn't remember how to do calculus and he said I don't need to know it. This proves math is a farce and no one needs it.

Math can go and suck a fat one 
I never got along with my teacher so I always ended up getting thrown out of class and that was my destiny throughout my time from 7th to 9th grade, after that I dropped out of school and never had any math lessons since.
I'm fine with numbers though, I can count stuff quickly in my head(mental calc.), nothing too fancy tho, just basic +-*/ and some percentages/fractions. Also, I remember almost every phone number that I have in my cellphone, my bank account unmbers, my closest friends bank account numbers, by heart.
Anything more advanced than that is bollocks 
My studies require that I learn some trigonometry soon-ish but I'm not too worried about it..

Dammit! It's the fundamental THEOREM, not theory. The author of that comic clearly was drawing a bear. +1 for nonfiction! 
And that said... good find, thanks for sharing
Meth, though... I used to go to the "math lab" to have grad students check my homework. I later found out that for weeks, my friends in the dorm had thought I was saying "I'm going to the meth lab"

good words. i've actually kinda enjoyed math over the years, and ive actually picked up a few old maths book to read or solve problems and stuff, way after hs. one thing ive always hated though was solving a shit load of similar problems, and not at my own discretion. if education wasn't forced down our throats i think a lot more people would be willing to learn. everyone is different, some people love school, love learning, and do a damn good job it, be we should also respect the decisions of those who do not want to wake up in the morning to learn some shit they have ABSOLUTELY no interested in for 8 to 9 hours a day.
this is my advice to you kids, follow your heart!.

We already had some trig few weeks ago and it didn't seem too hard.. yet 
It's not really an issue I think.. I consider myself to be somewhat smart, and I really feel things would be different, if:
A: I had a better attitude when I was 15
Or
B: I had a different teacher
I'm gonna go with A here

I can't do math or spelling and it hasn't effected my life at all. The computer does all my math and spelling. I spelled math wrong in the previous sentence and I spelled wrong wrong at the beginning of this sentence also I spelled beginning and sentence wrong.
Math is just as useless to mnow
