Post what you are learning in math class right now

[Ninja of Frozen Milk]

Yeah I know... A little odd but since most hamumu forumers are school/collage age I figured I'd ask.


I'm solving systems of equations and Quadratic-Linear Systems Algebraicly

[happystickman]

We di those LONG Ago, were doing annoying solving polynomitic equations. Or something like that, its has stuff like this.

2X+4 = 5X2+9X+2 + 6
3XPIEEEEEEE4

[sonicchaos1993]

Just finished a section on tangent, sine, and cosine, and currently working on using circle segment equalities. (Accelerated Geometry)

[Megadog]

Same, I wonder if you go to a school near mine or are the same school year as me.

[Gamer99]

We're learning things like.

2:1000 means 2.1000 = 2000

1000:5 means 1000:5 = 500? Nah,my brains aren't working in morning! (well,they NEVER work. :D)

[Mr.Onion]

The last new thing we learnt was u(n) = au(n-1) + b (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrence_relations)

[Connor S.]

I NEVER learn anything in math. ever. I always know exactly what it is that the teacher is "teaching us" before hand. The last thing that was "taught" to us however was the Pythagorean Theorem.

Same. I learned the pythagorean therom (not spelled right, I don't care :P) last year though, while the grade 8s were learning it and i was hearing it.

Horrible statistics stuff. Most recently we've learnt how to calculate the product moment correlation coefficient - http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/b/0/9/b09dab3ca9c55240b70ec361f8a391cb.png
and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient - http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/5/a/a/5aa69d11142e11a759432e16f7d21970.png
Oh, yes.

Fortunately, the formulae are in the formula book, or I would utterly fail.

[kacper8000]

We are learning algebra. Recently we did stuff like: 4-3(5x - 1) = 22 and we had to find out what x was.

We will have a test on it next week after Easter break. then we move on to something else :)

[Mr.Onion]

It becomes even more awesome when you start doing two sums at the same time. :p

I'm a freshman in high school.

[regeneratorizer]

I took math for the first three years of High School, and luckily, seniors of '09 only have to take three. I have none this year! Hooray, because I am bad at math.

[WackieWatty]

We've finished learning everything for the year, and are revising for our exams, which are only about a month away...

I'm also doing after-school revision classes, which are basically just showing us better methods of solving simultaneous equations and creating/ solving quadratic equations from more confusing things, such as graphs.

[cyberclone42]

NOTHING! Yeah. I hate our school's math program.

Easy, 4-15x+3=22, so 22-3+15x=4, so 25+15x=4, so 15x=21, so x=21/15, so x=1.4. I think that's right

I'm a freshman in high school.
Wow, I'm on my forth year! What age are you though, as we start high school pretty young here

[Max]

Huh! I'm good at math and I could solve nearly every equation you guys posted.
But right now I'm finished learning and revising for exams which are I don't know like from 18th May!
But the last thing I learned was quadratic equations or something like that.

[happystickman]

What grade are you in?

[CheeseLord]

I'm taking BC Calculus, and we just finished differential equations.

dy/dx = y/x, y(0) = 17

[Wesley]

I'm learning...nothing! Because I'm done for the year!! Aha... Ahahaha!... But there's always next year... *Cries* Anyway, before I finished the course (I passed with a solid 50...) I was learning about Graphs and Trigonometry. (Grade 10)

[sonicchaos1993]

Easy, 4-15x+3=22, so 22-3+15x=4, so 25+15x=4, so 15x=21, so x=21/15, so x=1.4. I think that's right

15, I'm one of the oldest kids in my class. (JUST missed the cutoff...)

Actually:
4-15x+3=22
4+3-22=15x
7-22=15x
-15=15x
-1=x

You added instead of subtracting.

[Coolguy]

We're done learning new material in our class; We're just reviewing for the AP test.

[Pumpkineater]

You guys are lucky, 7th year's math is very very boring. The last lesson we had proved said that every triangle's degrees sum is 180

[happystickman]

Every single year, the ENTIRE first half of the class is review. Dead. Serious.

[Max]

I'm finshing 8th grade right now and I'm the youngest person in my class but still the smartest;)

[happystickman]

I'm finshing 9th grade right now and I'm the youngest person in my class but still the smartest;)

Same with me, but with a correcton...

[Wesley]

Yep. Trust me, it's worth it. If you try to learn something that needs other information as a base, and you don't remember the previous lessons, you're in big trouble.

[Coolguy]

Every year for me in science (no matter how advanced or basic the class is!) there is always always always (no exceptions!) a couple of weeks wasted on re-learning the basics of the metric system. Every single year. And somehow, people still don't know it!!! Grrrr! :p

[Ninja of Frozen Milk]

Yeah, who could forget how long a Picometer is! ;)

Seriously though. ITS BASE 10! HOW IS IT THAT FREAKING HARD?!

[happystickman]

I dont know, we do that too.

[Ninja of Frozen Milk]

I shall invent my own system based on Hexadecimal! Say hello to the... uh... hmm...
