How do people not get this/how does it not make sense? 1+2=3. *puzzled*Durro wrote: what is half of 2......plus 2 ?
Almost nobody out of the dozens of people I've given it to get the right answer.
EDIT: Oh, like if you were saying half of (2+2). That didn't even occur to me until I reread all the posts. I see how people might mess that up.
Oh, maths. I was bad at algebra, okay in geometry, and now I absolutely rock calculus. It is by far my favourite type of math. Derivatives are just so fun! I don't like integrals as much, and taking the area of odd shapes can be a pain, though. But my Calc homework was what calmed me down after trying to stuff my brain with history all year, it relaxed me which is kind of strange. I also have had a truly awesome teacher for pre-calc, calc, and will have him again for AP BC calc next year.
Does anyone write programs for their calculators? Like, TI-83's, 84's, ect. I have written several that are really helpful--quadratic formula, Heron's formula, distance, derivative at a point, distance between a pint and a line, angle between two lines and one called Life (type in anything and it will give you the answer 42. 'Tis awesome). I wrote one that will integrate things for me but it take about the same time to input as doing it the usual way, so I don't use it often.
