"So, I blame capitalism."



We could all become socialists and let the state dictate to us, how's that working out for you in the UK?

It was going okay but this country called America (another capitalist country I believe) kinda messed it up with the sub prime mortgage crisis

I worked in the Mortgage Industry up until the early 90's and when all this started I knew these sub prime mortgages were headed for nothing but trouble.
Lender's were doing what we called then a breath test....If the borrower came in for a loan and there was mist on the mirror, from them breathing, he qualified for a loan.
Then our leader's thought it would be nice for EVERYONE to have a home, whether or not they qualified or could afford one.
So, here we are, in one huge mess of BK's and Foreclosures and wondering how we go there. Duh!

I don't wonder, ask Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.




Today I think I'll have some lunch!

Sorry for my post.

Won't happen again.

A new topic is needed...

Who here has had to study calculus (or pre-calc) at some point in their life?

Took 4 semesters of Calculus and now when I go through the fast food places I can confuse the cashier by giving her/him odd amounts so I get bills back and no change!:roflmao::roflmao::devil2:

Maybe you and I have more in common than thought, I love to watch them try to count change.

Hmm, never thought of that! I just finished Pre-Calculus this year ... the stuff nearly killed me, but I'm going to have to take the full Calculus in college!

Not me. I never liked mathematics....mainly because I am lazy and it wasn't easy for me, like some of the other classes. So I studied as little math as possible.

I had to take it in college. I barely passed it and do not remember the first thing. I am not good at abstract mathematics. Never had to use it.

Pre-Calc = Harder than Calc (in my opinion)

The full Calculus course was required for an SE degree way back when.

It was tough because of the innumerable equations you have to remember. The concepts were rather easy, and I knew WHAT equation I needed I just couldn't ever remember the actual formula.

I mean when your in a full engineering job working for NASA, are you really going to rely on your college memory for an equation or are you going to go look it up in the book?

Calculus is such an enourmous crash course in higher math I really see no point in making it completely closed book. Access to the raw equations at least should be allowed. I'd have gotten through it a lot easier. (The Chinese native exchange professor didn't make calc 2 any easier too! The drave-tive, you know what drave-tive is don you?")

I still have my calc book today 25 years later and when I need to look something up .. I LOOK IT UP! I don't think anyone can remember the 150+ formulas you need to learn much further than the last exam of the series...
