Really not hard at all. Just study a bit. I'm sure you'll get it. Finite math is one of the more basic math courses people take.

Just cheat, there's always a way. :cool:


Nah, seriously though, I fucken hated math in highschool and I went up to Pre-Cal. I had to cheat my way through Geometry first though, that shit was a bitch. I don't think I took finite math, I took another one instead or some $hit. In college I just took basic math, whatever I needed to graduate with my AS.

Must suck to be in your position, when your almost done and living away from home. Just screws with your plans big time. Going to a University ain't no joke, that's why I said fuck it, imma just get my AS first. I personally don't want to waste my time getting a BA or BS and not like what degree I'm pursuing when I'm just about to finish or just stop in the middle of it because it's just too damn hard/time consuming.

I used to act like I didnt know how to do math in high school. My teacher seriously thought I was retarded and suggested a really easy math class for me. When I got to the new class it was like simple addition and subtraction shit with a bunch of kids that didnt know how to behave.

^^ lol yeah i dont blame him bro, i dont mess with dank when i take a math class but that trend changed this summer..i NEED weed just to calm down n get all stressed out over this shit..

remember how we all used to think algebra was useless in real life??

FINITE FUCKING MATH IS USELESS IN REAL LIFE

matrix tables, pivoting, crown rules, etc..

WHO THE FUCK USES THIS SHIT?!?!?

and the creators of the matrix tables were two brothers in the 1600's who had nothing better to do than come up with bullshit like this..

GET SOME PUSSY U STUPID ASS MOTHERFUCKERS

Alls I needed was "math45" to get my Associates Degree. LOL

I used to think algebra was useless, but down the road a few times I have had to write out an equation in order to caculate some odd shit.

I dont remember what. But I remember the moment where I asked myself "I thought I would never use this"....

but yeah the finite math shit. Matricies or whatever that shit is , is hella retarded. I would have fun doing it on acid or mescaline maybe it would all make sense then.

Yeah, your guaranteed to get a better job, no doubt, but then again there's a lot of competition right now and associates degrees are like basically having your highschool diploma because everyone either has one or has a Bachelors degree or higher.

The way I see it, you still have to KNOW someone to land a good job or either present yourself in a very good way during the interview process to land a good job. Not to mention, IMAGE, it's all about hiring good looking people. There's a lot of nerds out there with Bachelors or on the verge of getting their degrees, but they don't fucken speak because they lack real world social skills and experience. How the fuck are they supposed to communicate with people at work if they lack social skills because of their extreme shyness or they have no real work experience.

Seriously, I liked how society was when our parent's generation was growing up. My mom landed a $20hr. job with AT&T str8 out of highschool and that was good money back then for a 19year old. You just basically got trained on the job. Now days they expect more, degrees n shit for the same paying jobs that my mom had because that's what society has created. We fucked our selves up IMO. Everyone these days thinks their too good to bust a sweat.

Basically what I'm saying, is that I feel degrees are so fucken mainstream now. Everyone either has one or is working on getting one. I can understand if your in some internship program and your GUARANTEED a job, but for the peeps that are just getting degrees, graduating and putting that shit on their resume, I just feel the competition is just too high in that regard because everyone has that shit already. Therefore, for the employer it's just going to boil down to hiring the person with the best social skills, experience and image, just like our parent's generation.

I personally like the idea of earning your way up. Putting in a little sweat if you have to and building up your work experience at an early age. A lot of spoiled motherfuckers these days don't even work n shit because they can't cope with the stresses of being in school and having a job, fucken pussies. So where the fuck is their job experience? I don't like the idea of an average joe coming in with a piece a paper saying he graduated with a Bachelors in Business and expect to be higher than everyone else. That mofo still has to get trained.

usually textbooks supply a seriies of videos with the book, and are usually held in the library. I just used to go to the library and follow along with the tapes until i understood. Thats how i passed stats
