No, for me math is not "enjoyed". I took the math classes that they made me take to get my degree, and disliked most of them (although the poor quality of teaching may have contributed to some of that feeling). I retained what I needed to retain, and I can pick things up quickly if I need to re-learn them for some reason.interesting quote:
On a positive note, less than 15 percent of adults or teens surveyed described engineers using common derogatory stereotypes, such as "boring" or "nerdy.” However, the research also showed that many students don't enjoy math and science enough to become engineers.
We're not nerds! We're not nerds! take it everybody. . . .
I'm not sure if math & science are ever "enjoyed", although given calculus or flemish poetry of the 18th century, i'm leaning towards integratin' & derivitatin'
i prefer geek. i actually have a shirt w/ 'geek' written in binary on the front - unreal how many people ask me "what's that mean?" Go thou & study ye the mathematics (gosh that sounds familiar, where have i seen that recently?)What's wrong with being a nerd?
:thankyou:What's wrong with being a nerd?
Good point .. although I have heard there is some subtle (or not so subtle) difference in terminology but I haven't heard a definitive explanation yet.I prefer geek too... although nothing is wrong with nerd if that floats your boat. I'm quite happy to be a geek.
Funny thing is that at one point my wife's boss was being a real dick to her. It got to the point that I got really pissed and chewed him out over the phone. That same day he found out that I was an engineer and he actually called me back a short time later to apologize because he was scared of what engineers are capable of.interesting quote:

I think it's kinda nice to have that level of mental intimidation over some people...
