ha! maybe the other cat but this one is a potato with legs XD


it could also be that is is math which is the darkest of magics

[mdom]

those are the best cats

[Stabbsworth]

i don't do math. instead, i code things to do math for me.

[mdom]

That actually sounds more difficult than math itself

[Death by Mirrors]

But also more fun. And it reminds me of the good old days with my necromancer in GW. I did not kill enemies, I just cursed them and watched them kill themselves. Smiling.

[Burnt Rice]

Coding, more fun? It's on the same level as math for me~ A lot of self doubt, pain, and questioning life choices.
So.... pretty fun I guess.

[Espy]

I... like messing around with differential equations.

For the first time in my life I am learning not to be scared of maths. It is all about learning the rules and having rules to keep me safe within the confines of the number prison is helping me not panic.

With that being said, both coding and maths are friggin difficult.

[Espy]

I like calculus-based stuff.

...Can’t stand statistics, though.

[Mekatra]

I'm struggling with algebra. I am incredibly thankful that my degree track doesn't have any higher maths on it.

[Espy]

Mhhh. Meanwhile, I’m struggling w matrices.

[mdom]

Damn matrices is what I hated the most in high school
really glad I didn't have to score high in math to pass for college

[Death by Mirrors]

In my opinion both coding and math is only difficult if you never had it properly explained to you. Back in high school we had a math teacher who barely explained anything. He just wrote tons of equations on the blackboard and expected us to somehow follow along -.-"
I was smart enough to manage most times, but I definitely get how others then start to believe they're too dumb for maths.

[Stabbsworth]

there's also dyscalculia. something like that, fuck if i know how to spell shit.

i actually find coding much more fun than doing math, mostly because i can easily understand the concept of coding.

[Death by Mirrors]

Fine, but that's like 5% of people. The majority would grasp the concept. Which is of course different from whether or not a person actually likes math in the end.

[Espy]

I’m not terrible at learning new languages, which means I shouldn’t be terrible at coding, but I think a lot of that’s just... I started coding in 11th (?) grade, and supposedly you didn’t need prior experience bc it was a beginner class. Unfortunately, most people there legit knew what they were doing, and it was really demotivating, and I started falling behind.

Really struggled w that course, and it made me scared of programming. Still am to a degree.
