Math has always been my weak subject. It's been holding me back from graduating college. This semester i worked hard at passing this class. I did well on all the tests, but i just took the final....I BLANKED OUT ON A FEW QUESTIONS! I wont know if i passed until Thursday!............It's eating me up!

2. Feel ya pain
Math is hard, especially calculus. Can any human remember all those integral functions anyway?

3. It's useless to have to learn any math after basic algebra and fractions.
Math is the most useless subject for most college majors.

5. I'd have to agree
My father was an accounting major and he never took any higher math. He's sneaky that way.

7. Ack! How can you say that?
A good understanding of mathematics is integral (no pun intended) to dissecting the world we live in.

For a good read (even for math laypeople) I recommend "A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper", by John Allen Paulos.
link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/038548254X/qid=1083137338/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-7185993-7189444?v=glance&s=books

This is a collection of essays based on pseudo-newspaper articles. Paulos shows how math can help cut through the B.S. and counter (to some degree) spin.

4. I used to feel the same way and I always made an A.....
I call it the post test jitters. Calm down. have a couple of drinks and realize that no matter what, there's nothing you can do about it now.
