Date: September 20th, 2018 10:57 AM Author: Cream Orchestra Pit Double Fault I've taken a lot of math/engineering/physics classes and did well in them, but I'm not great at mental arithmetic at all.

Date: September 20th, 2018 11:05 AM Author: big bonkers community account station to get how few people grasp % change, look at the headlines every time the market swings up or down some new largest daily move in absolute dollar terms.
THE DOW DOWN TODAY MOST EVER IN HISTORY, but of course the swing is like 600 points (2 or 3 %), which is larger than half the size of the index when it was created. |

Date: September 20th, 2018 10:53 AM Author: nubile mad cow disease Maybe 10-15 % of the population is capable of passing a calculus course, a much smaller percentage capable of applying it (<1%). Almost no one is "good" at the more difficult math. I consider someone mathematically smart if they can use basic algebra to solve day to day problems, e.g. 3x=15, therefore x = 5, very useful.

Date: September 20th, 2018 11:29 AM Author: Poppy sexy hominid in non linear regression you have to pretend like the curve youre fitting is based on the data itself and not what you want the curve to look like. the mental gymnastics required to convince yourself you're doing the former requires a middling IQ at minimum (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4082166&forum_id=2#36848207) |

Date: September 20th, 2018 11:05 AM Author: silver fragrant forum What do you mean by "not good at math?"
Algebra and below should be absolutely second nature to any smart person. They should be able to do calculations quickly in their head and should have had a really high SAT math score.
But if they didn't do well at Calc or more advanced math? That could in some situations just be not having the drive, desire or attention span. |
