Math

girls generally study more, where usually guys just dont give a fuck if they get good grades, or just barely pass.

that said, guys still do better at math than chicks do.

So to do these, memorizing decimals of halves to at least tenths is absolutely necessary. But I'd like to be able to slightly more complicated calculations like 1/68 and know the decimals without just approximating that it's close to 1/70 (0.014).

If you need to memorize them (just like you've done with your multiplication tables) I recommend notecards. If you put the fraction on the front and the answer on the back and you can quiz yourself randomly (either for a sustained period, or periodically through the day). Over time you should have them in memory for quick reference.

Are you looking for some simple pattern to help memorize them?

Eh, not in my experience... I was having my girlfriend do my math homework for me when I was in high school. :shrug: :lol:
 
Yes, and "pracitice" spelling too. To the "new" users, there is a spell check option. :clap: P.S. If anyone is good at math I have a problem needing solving: X cubed+Ycubed=Zcubed, all different positive whole numbers please. :crazy:

Reiterating what has been said, it is the time spent using it that is most important, as opposed to just reading about it.

One must practise practise practise.

However, worked examples are incredibly useful.

Personally, I also let my mathematics slip as I am unwilling to put in the work and have a natural lack of talent for it anyway, which bothers me a bit. I am almost totally reliant on the calculator for arithmetic. Maybe I should practise more often than I do, and I believe that there are numerous little tricks that can be used, many of which should be on the net. I wonder how many good maths games have been created to keep things interesting?

The other day I was asking one of the top biochemistry researchers in Australia if I might get kneecapped by my weak maths, and was reminded that for real mathematics, one can collaborate with experts, such as with a professional mathematician to assist in the design of a new imaging technique.

What is your point jacksam?

Reading alone is very useful for improving spelling, although having repeated errors pointed out by others can be helpful at times.
 
X cubed+Ycubed=Zcubed,

That is a triangle with a 90 degree angle and x and y are the sides that define the 90 degree angle. they should be multiples of 3 and 4. the other side should be a multiple of 5. There! And I'm piss drunk too :P
