My early education was sub-standard in math and it made my experience with math a struggle. <BR/><BR/>You keep expressing these views, it's important. As a professor, I love to hear anyone express passion for something they study. Learning is not just a means to an end, but opportunity to learn, think, and challenge yourself.<BR/><BR/>I'm working on a post about brother bloggers and I'm going to add this post as a link in that post, if that's okay with you.Dr. Tracey Salisburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06209154351201523646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-580051414301246732.post-12655389612247702422008-12-03T18:50:00.000-05:002008-12-03T18:50:00.000-05:00that's one of the reasons that I want to teach it....that's one of the reasons that I want to teach it. I think too many people see it as a chore/task and never understand the theory/concepts concerning math and how it is a way of rationalizing while using numbers. People who are good at math tend to have interesting thought processes. Glad to know you love math. It is so misunderstood. I had a great math teacher, well two in particular, and they loved math and made it so interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-580051414301246732.post-17465009009268599072008-12-03T11:41:00.000-05:002008-12-03T11:41:00.000-05:00@poetess58I hope that LOVE for math returns.

I get kinda depressed whenever I tell somebody that I study math and their first response is always a complaint about how much they hate math.Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116043731993061151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-580051414301246732.post-73139181045798598152008-12-02T19:40:00.000-05:002008-12-02T19:40:00.000-05:00I used to LOVE math but I got bored with it in hig...I used to LOVE math but I got bored with it in high school during senior year.Actually, I think I was distracted by my grandmother's death and I turned to my first love, writing, and saw little use for math.I have been thinking about teaching lately and even though I love writing and have an English degree I want to teach math for the exact reason that you stated. I love that it's truth is universal and sound. Truth is subjective in every other element. There's something comforting about the truth's you find in math.
