"I said everything about myself without saying a damn thing about the subject!"
You have zero idea of what you are talking about. Which is the sin of 0. So the more you speak, you just increase the times you are wrong. That's called frequency. If you use that, you can adjust the angle that you approach the subject and have more resonance with your audience.
I don't know if you listen to music though. Maybe you just stick to the Internet. Which also uses frequency. But maybe all this went over your head. Like a jet. Or a cell signal.
I've been a flight instructor since 2010, in 14 years not a single one of the pilots I trained has ever come back to me bragging about how they never use something I taught them. Or failed a test I endorsed them for. I'm a damn good teacher of technical subjects, certainly good enough to recognize a piss poor one.
Yea. That's because if they failed they died. The epitome of cognitive dissonance.
So you're saying that my students pay attention to my lessons because they are important and relevant to them in their lives. And students of math classes don't pay attention because they do not have that same importance to their students.
And somehow I'm being downvoted to hell for pointing out that this means math class is extremely badly designed for its stated purpose, and the people who design and maintain it in the condition that it is in are complete fuckups.
You don't understand how many people do use these functions. Even yourself. You use them and don't even think about it because it's beyond your comprehension. Frequency of anything is trigonometry. Observing and utilizing the efficiency is a bi-product of applied mathematics. There are so many other examples.
Math is the only language that goes through all other dialects. Think about how monumental that is. Every language in the world agrees that math makes sense. But you don't.
