Any brehs trash at math but great at other shyt or vise versa?

[Noriega]

Took a test for the Milwaukee Fire Dept yesterday, test was full off cognitive,statistical and reading comprehension. Blazed through all that shyt with the quickness

Soon as I hit That math portion I froze up Took a good 3 minute pause to gather my thoughts and I think I did alright

Anyway I was always the type of nikka who use to get great grades in English and science but do absolute garbage in math

I'm good with math but it the only subject that have me second guessing my self.

 

[Disclosure]

I have Dyscalculia, which is basically Dyslexia but with numbers instead of letters

 

[Silkk]

I'M GREAT AT EVERYTHING BUT MATH

EVEN ADDERRALL DONT HELP THAT shyt

AND I START ALGEBRA ON NEXT SATURDAY

 

[SirReginald]

Yep, this describes me to a tee. Even though I'm kinda improving at it It's still my weakest. I'm better in every other thing doe

The way it's taught in schools is a joke. No eye on real world use, just mindlessly going through the exercises with no payoff. At least this was my experience. This is where most people developed their fear of math.

shyt hasn't gotten any better either since I've been out of high school, look at common core.

I've gotten through my fear of math since I need it for software development (and all of life, really) and I'm teaching myself.

Go to khanacademy, you won't be disappointed.

I suck at math, my brother and father are real good at it. I even failed the math portion of the forklift test because I read that shyt wrong. I can’t stand that shyt. I’m better at convincing people.

fukk geometry, advanced algebra, pre-calculus.

 

[AquaCityBoy]

I was good at the "math" parts (proofs, problem solving, algorithms) but at the "science" parts (programming, labs, memorizing facts).

How much math do you need in software development?

How much math do you need in software development?

Truth be told, I'm still finding that out. What you probably mean is how much math do I need for computer science. I've read that it goes as high as discrete math, probability theory, linear algebra, physics and calculus though.

I'm not worried, gonna start over and take this one step at a time.

Change your mindset, there's nothing to be shook over.

Let this man tell it (spoiler alert, pay special attention to the point he brings up about Western Europe and literacy):



"100% of the population can do calculus."
