Math is sexy!

And it is stunning.

Math is sexy!

You are in algebra class, and the teacher explains the hypotenuse theory; You get bored and close your eyes. The next thing you know, you are learning about derivatives and Taylor theories. You freak out and don't know what to do, and you hope you will pass the class, or else you fail. Many people had and still have this problem. And what they ask the teachers is, "when are we ever going to use it?". And the teacher is now frustrated because she can't answer that question, and she will say something like, "you will don't have a calculator every day!" The next thing you know, WWIII has just started.



Well, the last part may not be right. But what is amazing is that almost all students have a hard time with math and can't understand what any of this stuff means.

What students need to understand is that math is a great help in their daily life. Even if they don't use it firsthand, it could help them with Problem-solving and analytical thinking. It creates a new Neural Pathway, making you more intelligent and a hard worker. Especially if jobs need someone with good problem skills, they will look at someone who has a high understanding of mathematical concepts.

People think math is dull and abstract, and it's all about numbers and old computers. But math it's much more than that. It is beautiful and sexy in many different forms. It's all around us. Math is buried in the atoms flowing through my hands while I type. Those atoms create a chemical reaction that helps me organize my thoughts faster. Those chemicals reactions build new cells that flow through my body at high speed (which can be calculated with math) to keep me alive. Those cells work together and make up me. I and everything around me is composed with matter that can be explained with mathematics.

Math is poetic. In Tchaikovsky Swan lake, those majestic ballerinas float gracefully in the air, and what they don't realize is that they create a human life perpetual motion. As dancers create new dance routines, what they keep in mind is the algorithms, the patterns, symmetry, etc.… All this is composed from a spatial perspective.

Our world may feel random sometimes, but it's all connected. Nature is filled with beautiful symmetry and patterns, just like the Golden Ratio. There are so many fascinating discoveries and so many other things yet to be discovered. All this can be understood with the help of mathematical language.

Math doesn't have to be a struggle students have. It should be something that can learn quickly and love it throughout their lives. Of Course, there may be limitations students might have. But that doesn't mean students must give up altogether. They should try to find motivation and work with their best interests to get good grades.

The first thing it will help the students in math is teachers and their education. The teacher needs to engage with the class. And instead of focusing too much time teaching for the test, they should teach the class on its understanding. They should able to tell the story of math and its possibilities. They should also pay more attention to the failing students, who don't even care about the class, instead of focusing too much attention on the A+ gifted students. The education system needs to change so more students can become great leaders, thinkers, and thoughtful people.

Overall, students and people must learn that the language of love is not French, but it is math.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
