This discussion is unfortunate, since this video is aimed at visible minorities and is intended to encourage. Yes, math is a challenge, but people don't give themselves enough of a chance, nor enough credit. More people can be good at math than think so (and yes, I am talking about multivariate calculus and advanced linear algebra and differential equations!). It just takes patience, discipline and practice.
@originalrhombus. Yes, this discussion was unfortunate. I never intended for this to happen. My comment was to show that math doesn't exist in a vaccum. You need other aspects of learning to get ahead in life. But the person responding to my comments was rude and narrow minded. But anything in life takes discipline and practice. That's how I got through graduate school. Also, I apply this method to my lesson plans.
@originalrhombus. This PSA is very misleading and condescending. Math is not for everyone and society shouldn't penalize ANYONE for their weaknesses! Is the entry level guy lazy, I don't know. But, to me, it sounds like it's not his cup of tea.
@Fymious sorry your absoultly wrong, mathematics is for everybody. Its just that people like you choose to be ignorant about mathematics. Mathematics is the language of nature. It is a tool to enable us to explain the univese around us. So please just beacuse this PSA offended you does not mean you can say math is not for everyone.
@gigijbijbj I awesoming you are good at math. If so, if my car brakes down you can fix it? OR if I bring you a pice of lumber you can make a coffee table out of it? You are good at math right? Shouldn't you be able to perform these simple tasks? I dobut you could you DUMB FUCK!
@Fymious I can see by your hated for mathematics you were probably the FUCKING RETARD IN YOUR MATH CLASS. I pity you, While my mathematical intellect will land me in a top job. You will probably be waiting tables or sum bus boy trying to pay off your shitty community college tuition. Like it or not Mathematicans shall inherit the earth.
Also i would rather much have the knowledge to design cars or use integral calculus to contruct bridges and dams. Now whos the dumb fuck you PRICK!!!
@gigijbijbj I don't hate math!!! What gave you that idea. Of course you need math to get ahead of this world. I'm just saying you can't ignore the other parts of learning. They all work together to complete your education. You can use it not only in your career, but in life!
@Fymious Guess what, math is what made things like your car possible, and yes, it's very much relevant in making shit like coffee tables.. (for instance measurements, hello? you've got to be fucking retarded to say math isn't involved in turning lumber into furniture lol)
@Tenraiden. Did you actually READ my comment? Math works in conjunction with other aspects of education. It doesn't exsist in a vaccum! Math is an important building block of a COMPLETE EDUCATION! You also need other aspects like English and Speech to to get ahead as well. To make my point one more time you need A COMPLETE EDUCATION FROM ALL ASPECTS TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA ON HOW THE WORLD WORKS!
