Honestly was pretty good at all 3, enjoyed different parts of each and really hated others.
Geometry... Generally felt like puzzles upon puzzles to me, each one showong itself pretty blatantly and jumping right into place without me having to do anything- kind of a visual algebra. Loved that side of it. The class I could most easily get away with doing absolutely no homework, showing up to class, or cracking a book, eaisiest tests to definitively figure what is going on during the... Forever, amount of time allotted. That said proofs are the cruelest thing ever known to man and I refuse to engage with them or learn the 'little rules' for how to write them- have a personal vendetta against them, too particular, though I understand why they might be needed later on in the future, they always felt like having to explain every tiny little step to an alien in the proccess of breathing in the aliens language and god forbid you mess up a letter or whatever because if you do then there is just absolutely no way the alien can ever understand the entirety of the code and everything that you did, no matter how personally understandable, is just gibberish for naught. It might have just been the extremely regimented and closed step by step methods which we were made to memorize, but it was just awful- a slap in the face on a smooth sunny day. So everyhing but the memorization proofs in geometry made me love it. Just flowed.
But Statistics... Now that is where it's at. That was more like word games, ones that built off of each other, getting more and more intricate like a story. Statistics was easy and adaptable and open to interpretation, as long as you could understand what was going on... Which generally again was just sooo easy to, you could do anything with it. So malleable, and I just loved interpretaing the statistics. A wholistic class where you could learn the ups, downs, insideouts, hows, and whys and then connect them with each other, delve further with them, and then kind of throw the understanding into your own particular language. And I loved that this one required little homework as well, a once you understood it you UNDERSTAND everything class. One of my absolute favorites, favorite 'pure math' by far... Though geometry comes close.
Algenra was different, was always good at it but it generally killed me a little bit with its tediousness and I felt that most teachers of it taught the book and not the subject, to get people to know but not understand. And god... The homework. 50 problems a night of tje same concept repeated again and again...how dense
Do you think I am? And being treated like some sort of villian if I happened to do well without any homework-because you know 'hard work' is the building blocks of a good mathematician, not the ability to think quickly, understand a problem holistically, and problem solve something introcately... No I am sure the next time that I need to use math it will be in the form of someone handing me a 80 problem workbook with the numbers all traded out and forcing me to not leave any stone unturned- to do everything and get nothing. Numbers without meaning. But anyways, I was good at algebra too- would have been a shit ton better if the classes just let me get 100's (not bragging, just stating a fact-I generally easily got full credit on anything that I did in math wjen I actually gave a shit, and since I usually view tests as a sort of game, I usually did well), without adding in own personal bells and whistles as a means to even out the playing field, or whatever blah blah blah, the I would have enjoyed it a whole lot more. Seeing your grades grop from 100's to 70's or whatever because of homework points... Which are practice for the tests... Might I add, just hobble me now why don't you, club my kneecaps, tie a sack of flower to me, call me harrison bergeron or whatever?, is discouraging and irritating as all hell, and would have been more if I ever really cared about my grades beyond collecting them and watching the rainbows of complete disproportion form. Like I am some sort of villian for not learning parallel to the system, some sort of radical that has to be contained. But anyways, besides my absolute annoyance with the way the classes were run, algebra in general... Hit or miss. Hated the stuff that was sort of plug and chug in the calculator, and god forbid you ask what the forumlas mean-what they came from-what was beyond them, because then you are just getting ahead of yourself missy and why don't you just concentrate on doing what is in front of you and stop asking questions blah blah blah. Again I loved the stuff that you could figure out as you went along if you really just flexed your mind- math is sort of like art in that way, you just have to determine the best interpretation and continuously expand the depth of your eye, can see all around it- so yeah I liked math as long as it wasn't ruined by any non-math powerplaying bullshit.
