Mathematics or "The Joy of Numbers"
First things first.....
All of us are working together on math.... we must all be responsible for pushing ourselves to finish the course requirements for ourselves!!!!
Lets work towards helping our classmates rather than simply handing them our work to "copy" and claim comprehension or understanding of.
It is much quicker in the end to take the time to learn the material, than spend time backtracking to find where our skills are lacking..
Thanks all and now back to our regular channel...

For every math class you will need a pencil (or two), a coloured pen or pencil to mark with, a calculator to check difficult calculations, and finally enough mental alertness and energy to get through 40-50 minutes of cerebral exertion. A good plan for the first three items is to make sure to lay them out on your work area each day before you leave at days end.
