Any Math Gurus Round Here?
 

I'm enjoying rehabing my math education. I finally got a chance to see Ron Howard's "A Beautiful Mind" for the first time and am blown away.

Any of you guys take math in school and still futz around?

you won't believe this, but ron howard is my uncle.

Only math I know is Dollars and cents.

Check out Pi, buddy.

And people who "do math" are like people who "do computers". They don't often futz around.

If you liked that "math movie" may I recommend the movie "PI" - it's modern, but in B/W - fantastic

That was a pretty good film.

Gadzooks! I'm kin to the Howard Clan too! Small world distant, distant kin.

Oooo! What's it about? Who stars, directs etc.?

Me three! Double Gadzooks!

a beautiful mind is a very good movie, just perfect for those intelligent ones.

i didnt like russel c in that one

Math is a great tool. I am working a lot with math right in connection with SixSigma quality initiatives and other statistics calculations. Unfortunately I am not very good at it and most of the math and what not is done by somebody else. My brain is just not a math brain, but I won?t give up.

Great stuff? too bad they didn?t teach us any of this stuff back in high school.

without knowing math i would end up nowhere...

i used to love math.... was into architecture... went through physics, calculus, etc... then lost interest :(

Heh, I have a degree in semiconductor physics & EE.

So I know some math.

Just so everyone knows - the "math" in "A beautiful mind", "Pi" and that movie with matt damon whatever that was, was all bullshit 3rd semester calculus - Triple integrals and differental equations.

But oh well, fun movies to watch!
