On this page you should display your screen name and write me a few words that describe your relationship with math. Each student should complete this assignment for homework by 8/24/11.

__//berl1//__

My relationship with math would have to be that I am generally ok with all concepts, but math is by no means my favorite subject. I pretty much do math only because it is a required subject to learn in our society.

__//wbensken//__

My relationship with math is quite an interesting one. My grandfather and great uncle were both College Professors in the field of Mathematics, so you would think I am rather interested in it. However that is not necessarily the case, I think that math is a useful field and I really enjoy math when I see that it has a practical purpose. However a lot of the time it is difficult for me to see the practical purpose of something in particular with math which frustrates me.

My relationship to math is an interesting one because I am very interested in math but my math skills aren't prodigious by any means. So, I am fascinated by math but also frustrated by it since I cannot be as skilled at math as I would like, but additionally, my skill level is not commensurate to my level of interest in the subject.

__Ferguso4__

I like math because I makes sense to me and makes me feel good about myself when I can understand a concept and explain it to someone else, and see the idea click in their mind in a sudden wave of realization, and this is a run-on sentence and I don't particularly care because it makes sense to me.

my favorite word is pie. (i only really like pecan and pumpkin) in math theirs a word that looks like pie but without the e (apples also okay) that's pretty much my relationship with math (cherry in my opinion faillllssssss).

__Simpso15__

My relationship with math is a loving one. I LOVE math and most times math loves me back. I was on math team freshman year and have been in math club ever since. Math is my favorite subject along with physics as I hope to become a physicist. I like solving problems and equations with logic and geometry rather than algebra. I am well capable of using algebra but do not like applying it to everything. The main point is... I love math!

__seeley1073__ My relationship with math is that I do not mind doing it, but I do not necessarily enjoy it. I feel like most of the math that I will have to do in my life will be done on a calculator however.

__stavins1__

I enjoy math for the most part, except I like finding tricks that simplify complicated equations, formulas, and problems. I think that many things math-related nowadays can be found using technology and that learning how to use this technology in useful applications will prove valuable.

__kuck1__

Math is used in many fields throughout the world. It is something which I will probably continue using throughout my life.

__chriss3671__

My relationship with math is pretty normal. I enjoy most of it and can grasp most concepts. Not my favorite subject, but I still like it.

//**__JeffersonFu__**//

To me, math is like an old pair of tennis shoes. it's always around and while it is sometimes useful it mostly just sits in a closet.

__Machesk1__ I enjoy math for the most part but I don't like doing mindless exercises. I really enjoy when it looks cool and the answer seems to have real life implications. I also enjoy celebrating pi day with no milk treats.

__mestre123__

My relationship with math is bittersweet. I understand most of the concepts, formulas, and theories but I have trouble with proofs and geometry. History is my favorite subject but I find math interesting as well.

__park229__ In elementary school, math was my favorite subject, mostly because I was really good at it. Now, as the concepts have gotten more complicated, math isn't exactly my favorite subject, but I'm okay with it. Sometimes I find myself enjoying solving difficult math problems.

__abbi.frings__ My relationship with math is very mixed. I really love doing it when I understand the concepts and ideas, however when I dont understand what to do for certain problems I really dont like math.

__mcbride1995__ My opinion on math is indifferent for the most part. While I don't really enjoy doing it most of the time, some of the more interesting problems can be fun and I enjoy doing them.

__**bissy.michael**__

I enjoy math when I understand what I'm supposed to be doing, but if I don't understand the concept or what the point of the concept is, it's not fun. I don't exactly mind math, but I'm not inspired to do extra math problems when I'm bored.

__Andrew2795__ I don't like math. I do on occasion enjoy problem solving questions but for the most part I just really don't like math.

I like doing math when I understand it because it makes me feel accomplished, but a lot of the time I have no idea what's going on and that's when i don't like it.

__nbuss2__

I like working on math problems when I really understand the concepts and what goes into solving the problems. When I don't understand what's going on, it makes everything a lot more complicated and takes a lot longer because you have to spend time looking up what to do and how to do it.

__beshers1__

I actually kind of like math sometimes, when I understand it. However, it is not a subject that I would freely spend my own time on. Often it's frustrating.

__ktecox__

I am not the biggest fan of math out there. On occasion, when I fully understand the concept or problem, I can find math enjoyable. Most of the time however, that is not the case, and I end up frustrated or confused.

__mferede1__

I would say that my relationship with math is probably normal. I can find some enjoyment in it when I have grasped the concept, but if not, I don't find doing the math very fun.


 * __voulgar2__**

Math is one of my favorite subjects in school. However, I am not a huge fan of algebra because I get frustrated with some of the problems. I usually enjoy working with geometry problems and proofs because I understand them better and can be fun.

__tarik0219__

Math is probably my favorite subject in school. I enjoyed Algebra a lot more than I did geometry. So hopefully this course does not involve proofs but rather more problem solving with numbers.

__emma.hoyer__

I have a love-hate relationship with math as a general subject. Math is useful, math is essential to a lot of aspects of life, yet I really, at times, tend to hate math with a passion, mostly because it frustrates me a takes away an hour or so of sleep on occasion.

__vickiechang__ I like that the answers in math are never ambiguous, but a lot of the time I have trouble finding the right answers when I don't understand the concepts.

__simms3__

For me math is not one of those things that comes easily and for this reason it is not my favorite subject. I try my best to make math work for me and I have decided this year I will try my best. So my relationship with math is developing slowly.

__skeeley__

Math is not my favorite subject. It is one of my most difficult subjects. I get most concepts, but sometimes between the understanding and executing my mind gets a bit jumbled. This happens especially when the problems are not very straightforward.
