There were freshmen in my CP Algebra 2/Trig class...

I hate math. A lot. I'm horrible at it. The fact that I'm required math to graduate from a Fine Arts college with a BA in Theatre annoys the hell outta me.

AP Lang/Comp and AP Lit/Comp were so much better for me than any math course. My last year of highschool, I took nothing but english and fine arts credits. Hah!

Still, math is awesome. For our math class today, our teacher sliced up an orange to show us about the area. We were computing the areas of stuf, including spheres, and we had to prove why the formula for a sphere is (4/3)*pi*r^3. And it was pure awesomeness. It turns out that integrals are a way of slicing up the orange to infinity and giving us a fairly accurate reading of area.

There's something beautiful about the simplicity of math, yet how complicated it can be. Mathmagicians were trying to play around with logs, and ended up figuring out some of the mysteries of the universe and solving what they thought was chaos (it actually wasn't). It's like the universe is dictated by the language of math. It's pure awesomeness!

And that's why God is so awesome. He created math!

*does a happy dance*

Whenever I talk with people about Math/Science I refer to God as "The Ultimate Mathematician/Scientist."

Thank God for the Pythagorean Theorem and the Quadratic Formula!

I would have to say that maths is my personnal fave atm, mainly becos i got a B in my GCSE mock exam, and i got a C in my English. I also consider mathematicians to be more intelligent, and any crap artist can write a story/poem. I should know, I've written one, and im as dumb as they come

I like english because other than those crappy tests, it involves being creative.

Math can bite me. In fact, if Math was a Coke bottle, I would love shooting it with my gun. I detest it with an absolute passion.

English on the other hand, while my very first interest is history, is my second favorite. I think it relates to Lit but I loved reading about Greek Mythology and some of Shakespeare's work, such as a Midnight Summer's Dream.

English, my one and only true love! No this year i'm making myself enjoy Maths, with the school system here in NZ i need to be pretty good in Math to pass year 11, oh and english too but thats easy! (apart from grammar and spelling!) *cough*

I changed my mind...

You can't really paint a picture in someone's head by giving them

3sqrt4(x)= (x^x+4)(78/21x) + 3sqrt6/x+3

Don't try to solve that. I can't guarantee your safety. (In other words, I was just pushing random keys.)

So math is now the close second.

I used to always prefer English, but Calculus is growing on me. It kind of disturbs me, actually. I still love English, except when we're analyzing poetry and such for the deeper metaphor or whatever. I don't write with a metaphor in mind, even with poetry, so why would Frost and all of them have done so?

We friends have frequent informal debates on this topic and I always take English. I find Maths good as long as I can get the answers correct, which is not a very frequent occurence, though it would be wrong if I said I suck at Maths. My teachers say that I've got a perfect brain for Maths but it's just that I don't have enough practice but I don't believe that crap.

Thing is... English is too easy for me and Math (we're like beginning this Trig thing) is hard so in the end it balances out, but since I want to be a writer not a math expert, English is my favourite.

This is my story:
A long time ago, like last year, I was good in english; I sucked at math.
This year, I was doing okay in english; still sucking at math.
Now, I'm failing both subjects Well...maybe not english, but I suck at it now.
My over all point: they both suck. And I just waisted 30 seconds of my life typing all that pointless crap.

I'll definetly go for English, even though it is not my native language. I like English in both it's structural and creative aspects. In fact, I'm seriously considering lnguistics as a minor. Math is okay, I dont find it that hard, but honestly, I'm more of a creative sort and therefore, Math just doesn't appeal me. So, English it is!
