TodorokiHayato 07/15/23 1:13:06 PM #1:	If you can go to cooking school and learn all the arbitrary rules of plating techniques and its nuances, then studying math is no different. If you can see things in layers and know when to apply a certain set of rules, then it's just a matter of adjusting your applied knowledge in a way that makes sense to you. I feel like unless you're going beyond Calc 3, learning Math is no different than trying to make Duck Pt en Crote. --- Nobody knows you're a dog on the internet ruff. <cite>TodorokiHayato posted [p:974855373] in Why is Cal...

Nota214 07/15/23 1:39:03 PM #6:	I know chem majors who struggled with calculus. Without a strong understanding of Algebra, it's difficult to understand how to setup problems in Calculus. Hell, I doubt most people can even do a trig sub without something to reference. Many colleges let students get away with using a table of integrals for these problems on tests. It's also weird to say liberal arts majors struggle with calculus since physics, philosophy, and math all fall under liberal arts. <cite>Nota214 posted [p:974855807] in Why is Cal...

I feel like unless you're going beyond Calc 3, learning Math is no different than trying to make Duck Pt en Crote. It's very different, math is difficult for people who have no deduction power. Cooking is just trial and error. You just watch someone do it and repeat the process over and over again until you perfect it. Math has rules, but variables are always different and people with no deduction power can't figure shit out.

Math has rules, but variables are always different and people with no deduction power can't figure shit out. They're just good for stuff where you memorize everything and repeat it to death. But cooking also requires deductive reasoning as well. For example, if you know that all cakes need eggs (general statement) and you want to make a cake (hypothesis), then you can deduce that you need to buy eggs (conclusion). Then there's also inductive reasoning,where if you notice that every time you add salt to water, it boils faster (observation), then you can infer that salt lowers the boiling point of water.

I did but the professor was so good I did not struggle with those at all. Our class was a mix of dif EQ and linear algebra but I loved linear algebra far more. Almost made me switch from engineering to math just so I could grasp more of what we were barely shown. DKBananaSlamma posted...

Calc 2 left me traumatized so much that I dreaded calc 3 going in, but ended up breezing through it. --- :) <cite>xlr_big-coop posted [p:974857631] in Why is Cal...
