Nasty math test willies coming up....

I took an applied matrix algebra course when I was in college, BIG mistake! I needed to take a couple of tylenol before each class. I was a business major and that was a recommended math class, I never did find out exactly who it was that recommended it, probably Professor Saruman.

I received an "A", but that was due more to the grace of the teaching professor than to my learning ability, she missed about half of the classes due to a death in her family, so I think she felt sorry for all of us. If we showed up to class and turned our homework in, we did well.

One good thing about higher math is the imaginary number. Just make it up as you go along. Or is that not how imaginary numbers work? Nevermind, you better not take that last bit of advice, for your parents' sakes.

Ergh, I do not need an imaginary GPA, thanks, and that's the only sort of number I could 'make up' at this point. The professor's inhuman, docks points if the question is right but doesn't have every step (so he knows you're "not just guessing") Well, I do half the work in my head, because I'm good at that sort of thing - and he can't understand that.

I do the Mae West method of math...

One and one make two...

Two and two make four...

And four and four make ten if you know how to work it right.
