Nice title.
I'm hoping for a Math textbook written like its an abusive drill sergeant.
"You think matrix inversion is hard, huh? We're still just laying the mothafuckin groundwork, you halfwit. You ain't BEGUN to see hard yet.... You have no CONCEPTION of what a hard math problem might look like. This math is not hard. This math is easy. And I'm gonna make you bust your brain against these exercises until you make it look easy. Now pick up that goddam pencil and WORK your brain."
- enupten 13y agoWow. I'm glad I didn't take the Math courses you went through :) Perhaps, that's why I like it so much.
- Pitarou 13y agoThat's because you're a pussy. I'm a teacher. My colleague is a former marine sergeant with a Computer Science degree. We'd soon make a ma(thematicia)n out of you.
- hessenwolf 13y agoMy math teacher was an ex-narcotics cop. I was a bad student. I could do it, but I had a serious (albeit earned) attitude problem and no motivation or capacity to pay attention. Currently, PhD in statistics and nearly a qualifed actuary (I've done all the maths bits of the qualification). You are doing Spaghetti Monster's work.
- anentropic 13y agohow do you earn an attitude problem...?
- hessenwolf 13y agoYou gotta fight every single fucking day, so you don't get beaten up, and your world view and how you let the world view you are going to change. I think the teachers in my school could have maybe done anything at all to prevent this.
- enupten 13y agoI'm gladder still that I wasn't your student. You can't get creativity or love from bullying, only slavery. P.S: I'm in a top CS Grad school, so no, thank you, for your offer of consdescension. I'm sure, you and your man-ly pals will have a happy time making more soldiers than mathematicians.
