Your favorite joke is:
"How did the mathematician pick his nose?
He worked it out with a pencil and paper"

- You reach out for the calculator to change the song you're listening to on your ipod..

- You watch the Olympic divers and wonder at what velocity, acceleration and air resistance they're experiencing..

- Your notes for all your other subjects start having plus, minus, therefore and equal signs..

- You attempt to work out the probability of eating a sultana in a spoonful of cereal..

Anyone else experiencing something similar? :cold:


EDIT: (I still love maths! <3)
Nah. I do a little bit of maths now and then but I never experience those kinds of dillema...may be I am just werid, lol.

good to see you have your priorities right. what kinda math you into? :eek:
well I do 4 unit but I must admit, 3 unit is so much better. My favourite topic in 4 unit is actually harder 3 unit :p

But I guess when you do 4 unit, 3 unit tends to be much easier..

I think I have spelt my name so many times in my calculator the buttons have worn out.

If you do too much maths, you start dreaming about other subject like English which is entirely opposite to maths when it comes to contents.

I dreamed about coming first in English Extension 2, lol.

you recall all your trig formula and other equations with more ease then your phone number.

you have a strange and empty feeling inside when you have a day where maths isn't time tabled.

you start to address short answer questions in other subjects similar to a circle geometry proof or mathematical induction, statemet --> reason --> statement --> reason --> conclude

You learn about icosahedral viruses and think "yes of course, that's obvious. It's a platonic solid, after all."
