Anybody love Math but not Science, or Vice Versa?

Post Reply New Topic

I LOVE Math (except for word problems, but if they have Algebra in them I'm fine with then), but Science is extremely hard and confusing to me (I have a 68% right now when my other marks are high 80% to low 90%). I think it's because I don't get what they're asking in a word problem, but if you just give it to me in a nice algerbric equation (like grade 10 physics wasn't too bad, and it boosted my science mark from a 64%), I get it almost instantly

I'm the opposite, I always felt like math was a "necessary evil" to doing Physics (but learned how to do it well enough). In college there was a guy I knew loved math because to him the sciences were "too fuzzy" and confusing.

So you're vice versa

Love Science in theory and practice, math puts me right to sleep. Except word problems, they're the only ones I can muddle through, because they allow me to visualize a real-world problem. That makes sense to me. Letters and numbers all jumbled together in groups within groups is like listening to people chatter in another language, (which I suppose it is - another language). Never could get past the fact that to me, letters represent vocal sounds, not numerical values.

I hate math. I love science.

I'm OK at math, but science is my thing. Math without science is mental masturbation.

^ WTF mate?

I love science. I can understand most higer level physics stuff intuitivly, but... maths gets me. It really does. I have trouble doing even the most basic maths problems.

I like certain kinds of math (and of theoretical informatics) but I think that science is rather hard compared to that. At 'Gymnasium' (comparable to high school) the exception was biology (for some odd reason).

I love math (the higher level stuff, calculus and upwards...)

Science I always liked too, but I wasn't really that hot on science in general until it started to include more math.

Basically, science through high school level doesn't really center around math, not the way college and higher sciences do. Once the science really began to grind through the math, then I started really liking it too.

Except for biology, for me too. It always seemed so much like plain memorization to me. I never really liked biology, maybe tolerated it at best.

Math=good. Science=headache.

While math is ordinary lumped in with the sciences, it's really more of a philosophy.

Even pure math has a tendency to find uses in spite of itself. Even that last bastion of uselessness, Number Theory, has found an application in the last 30 years or so.

If I had gone to Oxford, I would have earned an MSc. I went to Cambridge, so I have an MA.

Mathematics is an art. Science is meaningless without mathematics (and most science is pretty tedious). Art is pretty turgid without mathematics.
