math at the college level is insanely tough. i have alot of respect for anyone who's good at it or enjoys it but ive always sucked at it. i barely squeeked by with a c in a basic stats class this semester and its probably the last math class ill ever have to take

the deeper u get into math the more u can see it in nature like when i am trippin on shrooms i can really see how everything is so systematic and developed mathmatically theres these laws that govern everything we see and they can all be interpreted using math man i love just eatin psycadelix and contemplating the numbers that rule us all

Here's a question for you all. What's the probability of a 4 card straight? I have completed calculus based physics, calc 1,2,3, and discrete math!!! I'm in another phase of my life for getting thru those courses.

as in shuffling the deck and pulling the top card and gettin lets say an ace then the next 3 would also be aces then the probability of that is 3.69E-6 or .00000369 or .000369% i just finished my probablity course it was really rough, the prerequisite was calc III

I got 0.00264 maybe I just suck at math.
Isn't it (13/52) * (12/51) * (11/50) * (10/49) ?

there are only 4 of each card in a deck so its (4/52)(3/51)(2/50)(1/49)

oh wait you're trying to pull out the same number 4 times?
I thought he meant pull out cards from the same suit each time

^^ That's what I pretty much thought. The daily math or the 'real' world for most people doesn't entail caculus or trigonometry. Mostly financial stuff, percentages, maybe some basic algebra but other than that,nah.

haahhaahhaahah wut a fool just because u dont directly use math doesnt make it useless just exercising ur brain is EXTREMELY useful melding ur brain to think in complex ways is more beneficial than anything lol they have been teaching theoretical math for thousands of years and have never used it in applications just for fun i think they were on 2 something lol

Higher math is cool, and I enjoyed calculus somewhat, but the average person doesn't need it for their profession/every day life.

As for the original post...
Look, anyone can be good at it, damn good. It just takes effort and more then anything else WANT.. it takes WANT to be good at it.
I personally hate it. It's just a bore and a half. Theres nothing interesting about some number plus some number equals some bullshit and if you don't put time and effort into understanding why your failing this fucking class...
yeee the hell with it.

oh i understand fully that everything is math and physics.. that doesn't mean i have one bit of interests in it.

Pretty much everybody takes calculus in highschool in Sweden and its fucking useless. I dont think i have ever had the need to do derivatives or something after working technical jobs for 10 years.
Fuck even philosophy has been more useful.
Also if you want to pretend you are smart stop typing things like " wut a fool" and "ur" Maybe you should take English lit or something.
