    How far did you go In math !!!

    I did Algebra and Geometry in HS but no math In college

    When I hit trig is when things went bad ! !!

    i decided to not take calculus because I knew it’s a huge step up

    Trig just killed me
    geometry was never to hard except those stupid proofs
    I breezed through Algebra

    I got Trig and took it as far as Trigonometric Identities. Hated it, and stopped.

    Trig you can use and is helpful in real life situations.
    That is generally as far as i needed to go.
    ...but then again, I love Celestial Navigation. On land or sea.

    Algebra is necessary for real life in one way.
    It teaches you much follow in a methodical manner to get the results.
    A...B...C...then D.
    This it teaches and this is a good life lesson.
    When it is not allowed to be questioned, it is not science, it is PROPAGANDA

    I took algebra in HS and college. Did poorly in HS. Was doing well in college but we had a departmental exam and my class never got to logarithms. I didn't even know what they were or that they would be on the test. So I went from a A prior to the exam to a C.

    I did well in geometry. Sucked at trig and pre-calc.

    This thread confuses me, since @Reason10 informed me the other day that I was surrounded here by a bunch of people who were far better educated than me, which should mean that you people took courses well beyond the multi-variable calculus courses I topped out at in college.

    You are a LIAR and an uneducated fool.

    Get someone with an education to explain the term "simile" to your dumb ass.
