Math was my best subject. I always liked the way the numbers worked so logically, unlike people.

People are perfectly logical, you're just too inept to detect the patterns.

Numbers are the first major interest I can remember having. I watched a lot of game shows and educational shows about math even before that (childhood hero: Bob Barker). If something had a lot of numbers on it, I wanted it. I still remember seeing all the scores, time, and levels of Super Mario Bros., which started my interest in video games in general.

like how this society contradicts itself so many times (here's one: children not haing the rights of adults in social/political areas but if they do something "bad" OOH TRY THEM AS AN ADULT!)

Fail

EDIT: answering OP, I suck at math. if it's OVER 9000! then it's better!

I liked them until it got complex where my brain started hurting. If I wanted to I could be very good at math, I used to be but now im content just knowing enough to get by.

I love numbers when it relates to statistics though :) very accurate indeed :) Of course not always but it gives you something to base your opinions on.

I like numbers. When I was little and I went to this football game I liked the shirts the teams were wearing because of the numbers.

Math was mainly my worst subject but I did very well in my geometry class but I've always struggled with algebraic math.

LOL

I love numbers. I'm not genius at math, but I love numbers themselves. I think they are beautiful.

If your model can't predict that children will be tried as adults in the United States, you must refine said model.

Love numbers. Sometimes I also catch myself counting in my head when I walk or go up the stairs even to my basement! I love Sudoku (I alway have one booklet with me in my purse) and statistics of all kinds, and when waiting for the bus check the percentage of red cars v/s black or numbers of the licence plates.

In high school I failed algebra 2. I just didn't get into for some reason. When I started college I all a sudden got into it and now a mechanical engineering major. I am not good with doing calculations in my head. I always like working symbolically then anything else. I could never do math just to get an answer. I love working a problem that I can understand what it is doing. Like modeling the suspension in a car or a crankshaft.
