Statistics and Calculous suck....

put together, they suck even more, and put together and taught in a 5-week summer session just pisses me off. And I can't drop it cause it's a prereq and if I don't take it, I'll push my grad year by 1 full semester.:nonono: I got a 69 on my first test and I have never been so happy with an almost passing grade.:D Just venting!!!
 
word of advice never take math classes in the summer. Not enough time to learn the materal.

PLUS you has to cover way to many sections in a short time.. and then the test is sucky you have to study for alot of different sections...

I'm glad I'm finished with college (Civ Engineer Major)
I know what you going thru hang in there...
 
Thanks man. But i thought since I would come everyday, I would see it and practice it everyday and that way it'll stick in my mind for one week, enough for the test. I really don't care in learing it, as long as I can regurjatate(sp?) enough to pass the test, I'll be fine.
 
I don't know what your major is... but I use statistics all the time at work. Every time you need to justify an expense, predict a budget, get money for a project, etc, you will use stats. Its pretty crucial for any career in the business world.

I also use calculus' big brother, differential equations, all the time too, but if you're not going into engineering I wouldn't worry about that as much.

If you get stuck shoot me a PM. It's been a while but I did minor in math when I got my engineering degree last year. I might be able to give ya a hand!

You too vert? I hated calculus and I never use it in my job or life for that matter...

Hey, hope you are not still upset that I didn't have time or brains to diagnose your friends prob..I got one them high pressure PIA jobs that give me no time except between computer installs and forums/email..

I didn't have the time to tune mine beyond the fans, timing and egr delete and a few other settings...so I had to pay to tune. I am also sorry to hear your sn95 computer is being such a PIA. Don't feel to bad..Mine wouldn't even start after H/C/I because I crunched a (brand new) injector and didn't know it..That took weeks and $300 to figure out. Then it would BARELY run only to find out you can't just slap on a MAF sensor with matching injectors..That took 3 more weeks and $1200 FREAKING bucks to have a local guy tune/rob me...

Then I took it to Kaufman motorsports and had the tune checked out because I felt like the car didn't have enough power. Started out at 258rwhp and they bumped it to 272rwhp and 35 more ft torque..then I added a track heat intake and that really woke it up...prolly another 20 hp because it reallly pulls now...more than the difference in the last tune.

Good luck, I know its not easy but worth it when the combo comes together!
 
I took stats this pass semester, and normally I get a/b's, and when we got our grades I had never been so happy that I got a C in my life, especially since I got a B in my econ class where the average grade he gives out is a 2.2
 
Once I rolled into college I learned to be happy with a 2.0 versus a 3.5 it was in high school. I'm not willing to put in the time that's required to pull off 4.0s in all my classes, I don't know how anyone does it, maybe those richy people who have Mommy and Daddy pay for everything and they don't have to work... but that's a whole nother deal. Have fun in college, don't dread one of the best possible times in your life, or at least that's my motto.
