I know right! When I was in 9th grade, we asked my algebra teacher when we would use ANY of that shit, and she said "Well, I use it when I'm cooking, Like if I'm making a cake, and I need to figure out how much of what to put in it." And we were like "Bitch, please. They directions on the box  " | |

I HATE THIS BOOK! This was brand new on the market when I started high school in 1982. I flunked Algebra straight through my Freshman year. F, F, F, F. I just HATED that book, and their approach to math. I wasn't a math whiz, but that shiz was HARD! I was reminded of the book tonight while watching Hoarders on A&E. As the camera man passed down the hallway, I saw the book sitting on a pile of other books. I knew it the second I saw it. It was big, the size of a piece of notebook paper (roughly 8x11), and a good 1.5 inches thick. HORRIBLE! I also hated blue and orange together, so it made me angry just looking at the dang thing. I poked around online and found this picture of it on a site that sells text books. I almost want to buy one just to have it and pee on it regularly! hahaha Anyone that I went to high school with will know this in a hot second, and will probably hate it as much as I did in 1982, 1983, 1984, and 1985 (all four years of high school, having to take Algebra, Elementary Algebra, Algebra (again), and Algebra II. Yet oddly, somehow in my Senior year, I ended up on the state math team. GO FIGURE! %#&*!)%!*& %&*!#()O!#*%&! To make a thief, make an owner; to create crime, create laws. | |

ScarletScandal said: As an artist, I have no use for math. When I went to art school, I flunked the math part of the entrance exam like 5 times in a row. It's useless. Math and Art use different sides of the brain, which is probably one of the main reasons why I couldn't get it. Besides, numbers are the devils alphabet. Not trying to be a bitch, but that's a really stupid attitude to have. I see artists everyday in serious legal trouble because they thought similiarly to this. If you get gallery representation, don't you want to know what it means if they'll give you x % of base sales minus cost, etc? Or what if you sign a contract that is based on a percentage of future earnings? You'll need to have some idea of how much potential income you're signing away. Don't you want to be able know how much money you'll need from x,y, and z funders if the total cost of your project is whatever? What about figuring out where to hang your art so that each piece is equidistant from the other, and centered on a wall? All this requires math, my friend. And I'm just presuming you're working in 2D. If you plan on doing any sculpture, installation, environment art, guess what? You're going to need to use math. I mean, at the very least you should understand how to make a profit with your art. (Maybe that's not trig or geometry, but you need math.) And in closing I submit to you a few artists who were interested in or studied math: Leonardo da Vinci MC Escher Marcel Duchamp Mark Tansey Bruce Naumann and one could also argue Giotto and the other Italian artists who developed one point perspective in painting.  The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |
