I feel your pain brother. I haven't had a math class in 6 years and just started College Algrebra. I have no idea what the fuck is going on. And we got assigned about 100 problems. It's also the summer semester so it's accelerated. Which means I'll be completely lost tomorrow, the 2nd class. I may have to drop it. We'll see.

Yes i get that, thats number 1 in the book of usual patterns which they call the princely valid argument.
But the froggy argument is....
if p then q q so, P
there are more examples in the book, and such that show the right way and then the wrong way, but i can't digest them for some reason. I totally understand the right way, but don't understand why the wrong way is wrong and such.... they are switching stuff around and it just confuses the hell outta me.

1) Get off the fucking computer
2) Do some fucking math problems
You don't have to do every single problem assigned, just enough to where you know your shit. But actually doing the problems is the ONLY way to learn math. I find that smoking a bowl while doing math helps alot. But maybe I'm just weird.
So by whatever means, learn your shit. Do it now!

That's affirming the consequent, and you can't do that (unless you live in the White House).
The opposite is denying the antecedent, and you can't do that either.
So really you're just fucked.

i didn't take the class to just get thru it, i took the class to actually learn some stuff...
I choose to take this in the summer vs some theater crap to finish up my liberal education requirements.

You dont understand why this is wrong?
The example is basically saying:
if it rains, the ground gets wet
the ground got wet,
so it must have rained.
Think about it, anything could have happened to the ground, somone could have spilled their soda, or threw a water balloon, or ect.
