Cat Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Daylight savings time here doesn't do much good. Time stays the same. Only difference the sun sets just a little sooner and sometimes that is not even noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chibi-master Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I can't decide between doing something with the military or law enforcement, or art. I have also been told I would make a great civil rights attorney. But I'm not sure how much I would need algebra or *shivershakequiver* Trigonometry...

And even beyond the whole idea of, "What can I use this equation for IRL?", quite plain and simply, the very concept of [I]how[/I] to solve various math problems, and the thought process involved, is crucial to developing how your brain to be able to handle any sort of problems you may encounter. The systematic and logical approach you take in math can be applied to pretty much any situation in life. While this is more abstract reasoning, it is nonetheless extremely important. There are many transferable skills that one may obtain from math. But overall, basic math is just one of those things that you'll encounter time and again, regardless of what you may be doing with your life. You don't have to go looking for where you'll be able to apply it; it will all creep up on you soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allamorph Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 [FONT=Calibri]Or, in clearer terms, math is the discipline where what you're using to develop your concepts are actually definable. There is only one way to do math; it doesn't change. Now, the concept of a variable is awkward on occasion. I know many people who struggle with the part that [I]x[/I] can be anything because they translate that to "[I]x[/I] is anything", and that's not true. [I]x[/I] is [U]something[/U]. We just don't know what. So we solve equations for [I]x[/I] to find out what it is, and we solve inequalities for [I]x[/I] to find out what it [U]might[/U] be. But it's only one variable, which means it has (for each problem) only one actual value, whether or not we're able to figure out what it is. In the real world, we constantly encounter and process large amounts of complicated and inter-related variables without thinking about it because that's what we're used to doing. We don't even think about them as variables, we think about them as life. In the same way, I quit thinking about [I]x[/I] being a variable long ago. Now it's just another number. And it just so happens that I don't know what it is.[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 [quote name='Shinmaru']Could God create a Game that He could not lose? Discuss.[/quote] [SIZE=1] It depends on whether we consider the three aspects of God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) separate and yet one in the same. Individually the Father may lose the game, but so long as the remainder do not they He is 2/1 up and thus wins by majority... I think.

Shinmaru Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 But is a win a win if one does not know about it? Also, is there anything the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit do not know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
