Now, this may not be all that noteworthy until this morning, I decided that I was in the mood for a bagel from West Coast Bagel (an old Western Bagel location in Tustin). Much to my chagrin, I discovered that they ALSO went out of business.

I am now 0 of 2 on my last two meals. WTF?

Clearly you were not tipping enough

Ick, feel better soon GC.

cucumber juice might help with itching and inflammation (if you've got some in the fridge) or just floating in a cool bathtub with cuke slices. Also, aloe vera (you can get it bottled) does the same as the cuke, just not as cheap.

Somethings never change and others always stay the same.
Send some LoT vibes my way, I may be moving back by moving forward to my former law firm. Job opening, they're making noise and they've got my resume. I would be back in SF proper, no commute, except on the 1 California bus and cable car.

So, which would be easier for someone who hate and sucks at math. Keep in mind, I barely passed Math 030 Intermediate Algebra.

Intro to Stats or Finite Math or College Algebra.

My other option is more disgusting - Trig

My initial response is algebra, but all three are very different and it really depends on what makes more sense to you. I'm generally really good at math, obviously, but I HATE "finite math", never fully grasped it. So you never know.

BarTopDancer · 03-25-2008, 09:15 AM

I don't even know what finite math is. I suck at Stats, I remember taking and dropping that class a few years ago.

Math sucks.

Based on the context of the three you listed I'm guessing "finite math" does not equal the phrase that is synonymous with "discrete mathematics" but rather the name given by many schools to generic math classes for non-science majors that covers the basics of stats, algebra, trig, calc without going into any great detail in them (I was really confused for a while when looking at maybe getting an MBA at the number of them that required finite math which I took to mean discrete mathematics which seemed way unnecessary for an MBA). From your list, personally I'd find stats the most fascinating, algebra the most day-to-day functional and the "business school math" the easiest.

Ghoulish Delight · 03-25-2008, 09:38 AM

Oh, okay. Yeah, I was thinking it meant Discrete Math as well (which is the branch of mathematics concerned with set theory and number theory). And, now that I've gone and looked up a formal definition of discrete math, I like it better than I thought. For some reason I was lumping it in with series and convergence which is what I struggle with.

Anyway, yeah, if that's not what was meant by Finite Math, then what Alex said.

Please tell me that the &quot's are a code malfunction and not some math thing.

Looks like I am stuck with Stats for the summer. Everything else is full.
