Hang Out and Post

I guess because it's plural. More than one math, like arithmetic, algebra, etc. Who knows? It's a British thing.

[Unstream]

Thanks Theo. But base switch? I'm not even quite sure what that is :eh:

 

But yeah, "maths" is more of a British-English thing. Same reasons why they spell color like "colour" - it's just the way it is.

 

I dunno, I think geometry was like a puzzle for me, and I had to reason with logic to figure out a proof or something.

I think I'm one of those lucky guys that's both. The only reason that I'm doing better in Trig/Precalc is just because I'm actually doing homework (I lost probably about 40 points or so every MP last year in Geometry because I was too lazy to do homework).

We actually don't have Algebra 3 or 4. There's Algebra 1 and 2, then Geometry, then Trig/Precalc. If you got ahead, then you can take Calc or Stats senior year.

[Spritzie]

I'm surprised that everyone is saying their school didn't offer Algebra 3, 4. I never thought anything of it. I'm glad my school offered it.

[-Ryan]

What's Algebra 3, 4?

 

Did anyone else see something about an SQL error when they came here earlier or did I just finally lose it?

 

Oh btw, interesting story. I was in the school library earlier today with a bunch of friends and were being rather loud and annoying. Then the librarian walks over.

Librarian: You guys are in here everyday just messing around. Now you all can either leave or TAKE A SEAT!

Then my friend Gabe picks up a chair and says: You mean we can have these?

Lol, I atleast found it funny. :P

 

 

[Tyler.]

I really dislike both algebra and geometry

[Spritzie]

What's Algebra 3, 4?

 

Did anyone else see something about an SQL error when they came here earlier or did I just finally lose it?

 

Usually they number it, per semester. So the first year of Algebra is 1 and 2. And second year is 3,4.

 

I had it too. I thought my network changed something because it happened right after an update at work.

[Ruto]

That's confusing. :eh: Our school just numbers classes by year, like Band 1, Band 2, etc., starting with freshman year.

[-Ryan]

Oh, our school kinda does that with some classes. It's stuff like spanish and computers though.

[Ruto]

I never did figure out the college-course numbering system. History 1301? Where did that come from? D:

[-Ryan]

Maybe thats the total of people who could figure out what the heck the number was for?

 

 

[Unstream]

I never did figure out the college-course numbering system. History 1301? Where did that come from? D:

I can see this now:

Me: "Wait, why are we learning about WWII? I thought this was History 1301."

Professor: "It is."

Me: "Then stick to the year 1301!"

Professor: *headdesk*

 

Usually they number it, per semester. So the first year of Algebra is 1 and 2. And second year is 3,4.

Oh, that makes sense. We have Algebra 1 and 2, but they're both year-long courses, so I guess our Algebra 1 was your Algebra 1 and 2, and our 2 was your 3 and 4.

[Ruto]

I can't think of much that happened in the year 1301. That's probably the year everyone went on hiatus.

[Spritzie]

My HS did everything by semester. Every semester was 1 credit. The only thing that went by quarters, was PE.

[Unstream]

Oh, you had block scheduling?

 

Yeah, then we're different again :P Personally, I think I'd hate block scheduling.

[Spritzie]

And our school had so many credits of certain things required. Like for English/Language, you were required to take 8 credits before you could graduate. So you had to take it all year, every year. 6 credits of math, so I took Algebra 1, 2, 3, 4 and Geometry 1, 2

[Unstream]

Oh, maybe we're the same again. School systems must've just been different, because we need half the number of credits to graduate, but a credit is a whole year. I only need three math credits, but I'm going to get four anyway, just cause colleges like that.

 

I do a lot of things just because a college would like it :mellow:

[Spritzie]

I didn't think about college. I had a really hard time with HS, due to my health. I had a tutor at home for most of my HS years.

[Unstream]

Eh, college is pretty much all I'm concerned about, because high school's easy for me. And I do have to go to college to get the job I want xP

[Seliphra]

College was the only GOOD school experience I had...it rocked XD

I need university though and I'm still upgrading my HS courses...I wanna be a vet...What are you hoping for Unstream?

[Unstream]

Well college comes after high school for us. Here its interchangeable with university (I'm assuming there's a difference, because it sounds like you went through college but are still in high school?)

 

I want to be a doctor. I'm not quite sure just what yet, but it'll be whatever I find most interesting while I'm in med school. Right now, I'm thinking immunology, but that's not really valid since I haven't really learned too much about it yet. Just auto-immune diseases interest me.

 

I've actually never had a pet, so I've never been to the vet.

[Spritzie]

My uncle is a vet. He owns a clinic is Arizona.

 

If I followed family history, I'd have gone to school for computers. But my largest interest in HS, was law. I wanted to either go to law school someday, or become a paralegal.

[Wembly]

It's never too late to go to law school :) Law has personally never been interesting to me so I'm glad there are other people out there that do.

[Spritzie]

It started interesting me in HS, when I took a law and order class. And I might at some point. But not right now. There's just too much crazy going on.

 

But I am thinking about going to the local community college and taking a couple business classes.

[Unstream]

Haha yeah, law's always been hard for me, probably because I disagree with a lot of laws (that and I can't memorize/read them).

 

Interesting fact, apparently the Supreme Court considers the U.S. Constitution a dead document, even though at school teachers tell us it's still a living one.

[Spritzie]

I think criminal law interests me the most. I worked in the DA's Office for a year, and loved it.
