Ah, I see.

2019-09-05 06:56:51 UTC  

like in my ee class for circuit analysis, we built a touch screen and digit camera and audio positioning system

2019-09-05 06:57:31 UTC  

each and every one of those required linear algebra, which also of course requires calculus.

2019-09-05 06:58:16 UTC  

See, that would be fun.

2019-09-05 06:58:33 UTC  

I know I'm not as advanced in math, but being able to toss it at something and have it stick is much more gratifying.

2019-09-05 06:59:03 UTC  

and thats all about what engineering courses do

2019-09-05 06:59:14 UTC  

hell even physics courses do that

2019-09-05 06:59:33 UTC  

afterall, most ppl in a math class arent math majors

2019-09-05 07:02:17 UTC  

Fair.

2019-09-05 07:02:27 UTC  

I think it was a combination of High-School and my maturity.

2019-09-05 07:02:39 UTC  

I despised math but that's because I had poor curriculum and teachers.

2019-09-05 07:02:55 UTC  

And it didn't help I had a lot of shit on my plate back then growing up.

2019-09-05 07:03:16 UTC  

a dirty secret about highschool math teachers is that they dont have to have any real background in it

2019-09-05 07:03:18 UTC  

I would enjoy it more if I learned on my free time.

2019-09-05 07:03:24 UTC  

That's what I figured...

2019-09-05 07:03:27 UTC  

😠

2019-09-05 07:03:29 UTC  

they have a degree in education, not math

2019-09-05 07:03:38 UTC  

That explains so fucking much.

2019-09-05 07:03:59 UTC  

My Freshman teacher only had one student pass. We all had to retake Algebra and she got fired next year.

2019-09-05 07:04:06 UTC  

My Geometry teacher was a primary Germany teacher.

2019-09-05 07:04:06 UTC  

my calc and linear algebra professor has a few kids in highschool and he sometimes has his kid's teacher come up to him and ask him for advice on math lol

2019-09-05 07:04:17 UTC  

Who was a combination of being racist and sexist 😂

2019-09-05 07:04:30 UTC  

lol ubermench right there

2019-09-05 07:04:30 UTC  

Dayum.

2019-09-05 07:04:34 UTC  

I know right?

2019-09-05 07:05:10 UTC  

whereas math professors in college have a phd in math (or a masters if they teach at a community college)

2019-09-05 07:35:48 UTC  

@Big T This makes me sad.

2019-09-05 07:36:01 UTC  

whats that?

2019-09-05 07:36:34 UTC  

The standard, or focus isn't held to the same degree sub college.

2019-09-05 07:36:51 UTC  

Well, dependent of course.

2019-09-05 07:37:17 UTC  

I don't believe the school/education system is doing too hot.

2019-09-05 07:37:27 UTC  

oh regarding highschool/middle school. yup you typically need a bachelors degree, but not with any real focus. something that i think many ppl are not aware of

2019-09-05 07:38:01 UTC  

this is why you would get answers like "it just is that way" or "because i said so" when asking why in math and other subjects

2019-09-05 07:38:27 UTC  

the teacher did a refresher crash course in algebra the night before

2019-09-05 07:39:27 UTC  

:^|

2019-09-05 07:40:36 UTC  

i'd be surprised if they could even prove the quadratic formula

2019-09-05 07:40:52 UTC  

Hit them with it as a POP QUIZ.

2019-09-05 07:41:22 UTC  

Speaking of Networking.

2019-09-05 07:41:27 UTC  

I have an interview in 2-weeks.

2019-09-05 07:41:41 UTC  

The company is paying to fly me out, pay for hotel, car rental, and food.
