I remember to this day when I went round and round with a calculus teacher in high school who told me "sin(x) + 2" was incorrect. Then answer she wanted was "2 + sin(x)". I argued that addition was commutative, "2 + 3 = 3 + 2" and so forth. She wouldn't budge. She also said it was impossible to calculate the exact area under a curve, because you can't draw an infinite number of boxes under the curve.
Having an ignorant teacher is almost as bad as a flawed, black-box algorithm.
- crankylinuxuser 7y agoMy gods, that is stupid. Math is only not commutative in very rare areas. A specific area is concatenation of 2 strings, or 2 rotations of a rubiks cube. > said it was impossible to calculate the exact area under a curve And this is why a lot of people are against unions and similar protections for teachers. How do you get rid of someone who blatantly lies and informs falsely to students? How do you get rid of horrible teachers?
