I'm not calling myself a genius by any means, but I'm definitely smarter than her, and I almost wasn't smart enough to get through that class.

Math degree holder here, she 100% does not know calculus

*googles to see if calculus is also a sex position*

As someone who only passed two out of five of the required math classes on the first try, I have such an odd combination of respect and scorn for you.

FOX (I think) did a man on the street segment in her district, they're all exactly like her it is no wonder she won there

hmm might have to edit that

If it makes you feel any better I’m almost done with my physics Ph D so I didn’t stay in math

You know, plenty of people have said that my school had a really bad physics department, and I certainly felt like that for the two classes I had to take, but I've watched youtube videos of the lectures from a guy that used to teach at MIT, and he was talking about how the average test score was a 60, and that was pretty good, so maybe physics just sucks.

Physics is highly unintuitive to people because they don’t know how to apply mathematical principles to real life situations. Same reason why people hate word problems. They don’t mind learning about hammers but they hate it if you try to teach them to hammer in a nail

I can't help but wonder if grades in that class are dragged down by people like me that had to take the 'intro to physics for physics majors' classes but weren't physics majors, or even science majors in my case.

My major was computer science, and I think the only reason I had to take physics is that the computer science department was part of the Engineering school.

Nah. The average grade in my graduate electricity and magnetism class on the final was 40

I feel a little bad about how I managed to pass that class.

Math majors at Alabama had to take CS as well. I ended up adding a CS minor because it was so interesting and useful

I found the teacher that had grades weighted in such a way that if you just did the homework, you could just show up and guess on the tests and still pass.

Yikies

What school was this?

I'll defend that behavior though, because I was at the point where I was either going to pass that class and get my degree, or drop out and be one credit away from graduating.

UNT

North Texas?

The Mean Green

Yeah

I’ve marched in that football stadium before

We used it as a practice field for the 2012 season opener in Dallas

The closest I've ever been to that football field was the times the bus would make a stop in the parking lot of the connected dorm before it went to where I was going.

Makes sense

It’s a nice field though. During the day in August it gets unreasonably hot. My feet were burning through my shoes

That's Texas

It’s more that it’s a turf field and the black rubber pellets outdoor absorb all that heat

It’s not much hotter there than in Mississippi or Alabama where I grew up

Oh, fair enough then.

You don't really need to be super smart, to understand and pass some specific classes. Just be good at that one thing can be enough sometimes. But i don't she knows much about about it anyway (or at least portrays herself in a way were that's all we see).

@amlam I believe you will find the issue is that having learned approximately what a hammer is, most lazy-assed people then proceed to attempt to use one for everything from tightening bolts, embedding screws, to buttering toast.

A lot if finance and stats used to use calculus to make the math way way faster

Mnnn. I don’t understand why people say “I’ll never use maths”
I use stats, algebra, graph theory, differential equations and matrix mechanics almost daily. And that’s just in normal personal life before I hit anything professional

They either avoid those things or don't realize what they are doing is math

My ex wife always claimed she “couldn’t do math”
Yet she’s able to estimate an NPV, amortisation, or similar complex series to within +~- 3% without blinking an eye.
So that would be an example of your second class - ✅

We did it
