Honestly speaking, I really do not like Math not until our Math teacher in 3rd year high school introduce it to us in a different approach. He is always bragging of the application of Math into our real lives. He told us that he had a student before who was not so good in Math but today is now excelling in UP Diliman because of his so called words of wisdom and inspiration.

Well, I don’t think that his antidote healed my “no to math” mentality. Maybe it somewhat cured a part of it but a large part of it remains untreated.

He said that Math is the easiest subject to learn. I don’t think so! While typing, I remember myself reading my published article in our school paper about the importance of Math in the society.

Thank heavens! We’re back to basic now. I have hard time studying our advance lessons in Calculus when I was in high school. I have taken Optometry…less Math! What a relief!

Honestly speaking, I really do not like Math not until our Math teacher in high school introduce it to us with a different approach. He is Sir Rosales and he would always boast of Mr. Kobayashi, a student before in City High who’s not so good at Math but who excels now and is currently studying in UP Diliman.

Our teacher would always tell us the application of mathematics into our real life. I thank him very much but I think his antidote is not that effective on me unlike Kobayashi’s.

Right now, even though I have encountered Calculus already, thank heavens that we’re back to basic! It still gives me shiver…’phew!’

As a BS Mathematics graduate, I love math BUT only if I can see its applications in the real world. We have a lot of math subjects before at Ateneo but a lot of them, I wasn’t able to see its applications in the real world.

With regards to this post Francis, I do believe that creativity is definitely the path to becoming successful. It only takes a great idea and implementation of that idea in order for one to become successful.

In math, there are a lot of possible solutions to only one problem. BUT there is always one answer. It’s how creative your solution is in arriving in that one math problem.

I better get my mice working on some excel sheet than talking to my colleges about some issues at work. It’s a groundbreaking revelation for me. Thanks for waking me up. Got to go to work now. ;P

I thought that the right side of the brain is the creative side and the left logic?
