props for you i wish i was good at math

I would like you to find a TI calculator that does geometry. Also, math is both singular and plural in American English for all intents and purposes. Nobody uses maths here that I've ever seen.
well my father is a prof on algebra and a good one if you have some questions .........don't be afraid even thought he is specialized for "ring & near rings" and i dont know if thats is in geometry :S

Don't worry, it's the easiest class I have ever taken.
100 on regent ftw.

Same was the easiest but damn 8th grade and taking geometry I took it in 10th and some of the smartest people in my school took it 9th.
The first few chapters in Geometry are very fucking boring and all review from Algebra. You're going to have to learn and remember various postulates/rules/theorems and all those proof crap. Good luck.

What do you know about real math?
This is very basic to a graduate level mathematician:
Funny thing Zetta, I asked you a question on basic group theory and you didn't have a fucking clue! So shuuuuuuut yer mouth. Oh and I was trolling, got ya all good.

I agree. I refused to spend the money on a TI even though it was required for my college Calculus courses. I was still able to keep up with everyone despite doing everything by hand...and I actually knew what I was doing unlike everyone else in the class.
I took Geometry Freshman year, when most students generally take it in my school. I care little for math, I'm a huge English and History nerd, so I really didn't care.
Just a heads up, it isn't too difficult, but Proofs are the biggest pain in the ass ever. Good luck.

And you don't have a fucking clue how depressing your life is. I replied with the answer you dolt in both the thread and the message. Above all else, I never said I was an expert at mathematics. I have pretty much all the mathematics for an undergrad pure mathematician except I moved to statistics for graduate work. God damn depressed trolls are taking over GBAtemp...
