The General Disscussion Thread

[TechyInAZ]

Hello Community!

This is a general disscussion thread for you all to chat in and disscuss whatever you'd like. From funny cat videos, to physx and calculus.

Of course, there are guildlines that you must follow. These rules apply to the entire forum as well, however it's always good to have a reminder on hand.

Rules:

1. Do NOT disscuss anything to do with GRAPES. Short for: Guns, religion, abortion, politics, economics, sexuality.
2. Do not rage post.
3. Do not start up a flame war.

Please don't make me discuss Calculus. I had to teach it to athletes in college and I wanted to pull my hair out.

lol! I'm having a hard time in algebra, I don't think I'd survive a day in a pre-calculus course.

I love algebra. It makes sense in a traditional format.

Interesting. Do you use it a lot? Or do you just teach it?

I was part of a program in college where I helped athletes with math homework.

I graduated a year ago.

I use both calculus and algebra at work, but it is all done by computers. Never by hand.

So how was it teaching the athletes? Fun?

Yeah it was pretty cool to get to meet some of the guys you see on TV.
