 Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: THIS LOCATION REMINDS ME OF A PUZZLE, LUKE Gender:  Posts: 9,077 Thanks: 2,825 Thanked 1,222 Times in 822 Posts | Conic Sections Seriously, who cares about these? I didn't care about them last year and I don't care about them any more now that we are re-learning them this year. After all I am going to need to know the equation of a hyperbola for the REST OF MY LIFE, rite. Supar important stuff here. I never saw the use in these, and for some reason they refused to make sense to me. I'm just as uncaring and confused as I was last year. Re-teaching them isn't helping, it's just pissing us all off. x{D |

Never cared about them, and somehow my brain decided to never learn about them either. They're pointless and they refuse to stay in my head and they are stupid and I don't like them. D}:< |

| You just freaking blew Joe Biden's mind!  Join Date: Jun 2000 Location: WHAT?house Gender: Posts: 19,491 Thanks: 513 Thanked 1,449 Times in 849 Posts Blog Entries: 5 | I got all the way through Calc II in high school. Haven't used anything more complex than Algebra I since. Also, I am a film studies major. Go figure. Also, I typed this entire post with one hand. It's probably taking me 3-4x as long because of it. I'm not even doing anything with the other hand that would prevent me from typing with it. This is pointless. |
