base2_celtic's Journal: Mathematics and Arithmetic: my bane.

If any of you guys and gals ever decide to do anything with computers, you need to enroll yourself in a good maths course first. Whenever I'm required to do something code-wise I always run into the brick wall that I run into every time: I can't do maths. Not at all. Not for quids.

It's no good. I mean, really! A grown adult who can't multiply 23 and 98 in his head! An adult who knows all about ratios, fractions, etc. but can't actually do them. An adult who knows tons about the more abstract and higher end maths concepts like spherical trig, calculus, etc. but can't actually do them because his basis in things like surds and factorisation isn't good enough!

It annoys me to tears, it really does. I'm going to get out my maths books from Grade ~7~ again, and see if I can start from there.

Bloody hellfire.
