Thank you... I have been dreading all the math classes that I am forced to take. If it were up to me, I wouldn't do any math...

Gee, I wish I was closer so I could help you. Math works for me. There is an answer and it's not some fluid what does this mean to you thing. (unless it's fluid mechanics)

That's the one thing I like about math... it's either the answer or not. There's not the subjection that goes with answering an essay question... and trying to guess exactly what the prof wants to hear.

Statistics always annoy me. Matthew has learned statistics this year and it was all I could do not to yell about how stupid it is.

If you have 4 oranges and 1 apple in paper bag...you have a 4 out of 5 chance of grabbing an orange when you reach in there.

My reasoning is "What difference does it make what the chances are if you happen to grab the apple?"

I know, I'm probably being illogical, but it just annoys me no end.
