That's something you should just google. 😄

2017-03-11 07:39:47 UTC  

it is by far my favourite thing to learn

2017-03-11 07:39:52 UTC  

yea i should

2017-03-11 07:39:53 UTC  

lol

Most biology courses are going to require learning more complciated math than others would. Like, say, a degree in some law field.

2017-03-11 07:40:57 UTC  

It's annoying though because most professional biologists don't do their own mathematical work. They outsource it to people like me.

2017-03-11 07:41:05 UTC  

That's the case in nearly every field of science.

2017-03-11 07:41:20 UTC  

ee

2017-03-11 07:41:20 UTC  

Most professional scientists have little to no understanding of basic mathematics.

2017-03-11 07:41:27 UTC  

They outsource it all.

2017-03-11 07:41:31 UTC  

guess i have to learn some maths so i wont be an asshole

2017-03-11 07:41:55 UTC  

That's some of the dirty little secrets they don't like advertising because it undermines the crediblity of some of their more controversial claims.

2017-03-11 07:42:14 UTC  

but really- bioloogical stuff is fuckn amazing and like awtching those cool documentaries as a kid really got me into it

2017-03-11 07:42:43 UTC  

i know a job regarding it is likely different but still

2017-03-11 07:42:47 UTC  

xd

2017-03-11 07:43:02 UTC  

You're going to be required to take some math courses for the degree but once you've got the degree you're likely to have little use of it again because it'll all be oursourced to a qualified mathematician

2017-03-11 07:43:26 UTC  

well at least i can teach my kids maths like my mother taught/still sometimes teaches me

2017-03-11 07:44:43 UTC  

In the larger context, algebra is more like.... well learning division really. To higher levels of mathematics it's just one of the very basic operations, one of the languae rules of mathematics, and not really an actual subject in itself.

2017-03-11 07:44:49 UTC  

I'm studying applied mathematics and computer science atm. 3rd degree. To the person requring some basic explanation of linear algebra check out Khan academy

2017-03-11 07:45:13 UTC  

Actually that's a pretty good degree combination. I was thinking of combining mine with a second but can't decide which.

2017-03-11 07:45:50 UTC  

Yeah the double major is tough but very exciting Emma.

2017-03-11 07:46:05 UTC  

It's not an issue for me now because I can't afford to go back. But I am hoping someday I can.

2017-03-11 07:46:47 UTC  

i have no idea since im still in highschool and not in my last year

2017-03-11 07:46:59 UTC  

There were many contributing factors, but a major one was that I was being forced, by my parents, to continue taking a medication for aspergers that was only making me lethargic and barely functional. If I stopped, they threatened to cut me off and at the time I could not have survived that.

2017-03-11 07:47:09 UTC  

It shreaded any chances of me continuing past my first year.

2017-03-11 07:47:18 UTC  

They let me stop taking it after they ruined my college run.

2017-03-11 07:48:12 UTC  

I did neuroscience first and there are amazing online courses you can do (the moocs). Was in the same boat as you. Paying for the modules I can. Had to do career change because I cant stand in a lab anymore (health).

2017-03-11 07:48:16 UTC  

After that I qualfiied for social security and made it on my own. Every attempt to get a job ending in denial. I never even was given an interview. They just took one look and threw it away and never got back to me.

2017-03-11 07:48:35 UTC  

That's really tough Emma

2017-03-11 07:48:35 UTC  

I hate being on government benfits but no matter what I do I can't seem to dig myself out of it.

2017-03-11 07:48:49 UTC  

The biggest problem with it is that they won't let you be frugal.

2017-03-11 07:49:15 UTC  

I can only imasa

2017-03-11 07:49:22 UTC  

If you're responsible and have some left over you can move to your savings account they're all "well fuck you then, now you get nothing!"

2017-03-11 07:49:23 UTC  

Imagine

2017-03-11 07:49:33 UTC  

So you have to zero it out every month if you want to keep getting it.

2017-03-11 07:49:43 UTC  

Sorry dropped my phone on my face lol

2017-03-11 07:49:48 UTC  

It's designed to keep you trapped in it.

2017-03-11 07:50:53 UTC  

The campus I went to was huge. Massive. And it was so crowded with buildings there was no getting a ride from building to building.

2017-03-11 07:51:10 UTC  

And with my luck, almost every class ended up being on the opposite side of campus from the previous.

2017-03-11 07:51:28 UTC  

So that + meds that made you super sleepy = horrifying combination

2017-03-11 07:51:33 UTC  

that sounds fucking shitty
