It's not an insult, Drizt. If you study math at a university level, you'll see that all HS mathematics (unless you went to a gifted school) was very rudimentary in its applications. The point of HS math is to give you the tools necessary to dig into the true complexities of mathematics. Think of HS math as the canvas, paint, and brush and the classes that follow as a beautiful painting created with those tools. [/b][/quote]
Fuck math.

Well Blood, Drizzt and Mag.
I'm truly sorry you feel that way about mathematics. You really are missing out on some beautiful stuff. I think part of the problem is how poorly mathematics are taught in HS. I know it's necessary to build that foundation I was talking about, but there is so much opportunity to make math fun too. I could design a curriculum that incorporated games, puzzles, and really cool neat tricks to show you how math touches all corners of this world. For example, did you know that nearly every really complex card trick runs solely on mathematical principles? Do you want to know how the internet keeps your credit card/bank info secure from 3rd parties? How about how we detect errors in data that's transmitted through noisy channels? Or how insurance companies figure out how much to charge you in insurance for that fiery new convertible your parents just bought you? Math touches every conceivable part of your reality.

Well you can be diverse yet still love and appreciate mathematics. I play music, piano and saxophone, love pizza (cook a variety of cuisines) and a whole bunch of other activites, and still appreciate and love math. And, there are plenty of average joes, just like me, working traditional jobs across the world that still appreciate the beauty of mathematics and its relevance and importance. Obviously, given the size of the human population, hordes of people are going to detest mathematics or will never have the intelligence to really understand it. I'm just trying to sway the people who sit in delicate balance and could go either way, since I don't think America's school systems are helping bring anyone over to my side.
