I also can't be bothered trying to come up with an example (which likely doesn't exist) of where that might be incorrect.

Have you perchance been reading mathisfun.com ?

Then I made the horrible mistake of doing year 12 Maths Methods (The second most advanced math available at the school) while in year 11, and came across stuff I actually had to *think* about...

Math is less fun when its not easy, math theory even more so.

OT does seem quieter over the past coupla days....I wonder why.... ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320677/1993669.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320677/1993669.page GMT FYI http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320677/1993678.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320677/1993678.page GMT FYI
I'd imagine it gives a good basis for going into physics/engineering, but is there still a call for mathematicians in research etc?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320677/1993692.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320677/1993692.page GMT FYI http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320677/1993712.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320677/1993712.page GMT FYI IT, mostly programming) and couldn't even begin to think what I'd actually *do*, let alone if I wanted to go on to do Masters/PHD.

I figured that I've spent what is probably more than enough of my life span in school uni by now as well, maybe when I'm older I'll go back, or if I'm really struggling to get a job.

I never really pictured myself putting all that algebra and junk to good use.

if you get a phd in math the job is cake. 100k a year to teach undergaduates + lifetime job security? Yes please!
thanks..... I got through it. just mapping circles on a cartesian plain. pretty damn boring. AF]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320677/1994286.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320677/1994286.page GMT Re:FYI

ummmmmmm..... I dont think there is a prime factorization for non-rational numbers..... but I'm not really sure about that.

I should have qualified though - its not just any kind of number. its true of positive intigers. It is not true of negative numbers, since both 3x3x-3 and -3x-3x-3 = -27, and 0x2 and 0x3 both = 0. I think it would be true of any positive rational number however because both the numbers composing it would be subject to that rule, so it makes sense that the total number would be as well.

well my immediate goal for studying math is to not be poor. I want to pursue an advanced degree in history but I'm nervous about employment opportunities after I get the thing. a 4 year in math is way more employable than a phd in history. I know people with history degrees who live with their parents. that is not going to happen to me ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320677/1994294.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320677/1994294.page GMT FYI http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320677/1994305.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320677/1994305.page GMT FYI

I was always more into logic, which is actually pretty closely associated with math. I always found it easier for the same reason I always found physics easier; namely a closer association with application.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320677/1994490.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320677/1994490.page GMT
