What college do you go to, Vortex? If I got it right, youre not taking pure Math?
Oh Ant, i want to be a professor as well and ive been thinking about that thing too. I came to a conclusion that students (as well as everything else that might be problematic) wont crush your spirit if you dont let them. I also think that one has to approach such a job with a considerable amount of caution and not so idealistic expectations.I've many many time contemplated becoming a teacher of either mathematics of languages because of my unending enthusiasm to share my knowledge; however, I often wonder if I am to be crushed by uninterested students.
Oh yeah. Being in high school (still!!! how long is it going to last?!) has made me a different person on almost every level. Reading about things on Wikipedia is not such a good idea because its not suitable for high school level education. Thats why I cant wait to start going to college. I just hope its going to meet my expectations... All I want to do is learn about math. And probably, later in life, teach others.I feel so dumb after reading this thread.
The math classes at my school are very simple stuff - which is pretty easy for me - and I have been reading Wikipedia articles about some more advanced stuff, but I couldn't understand shit. I feel like I could grasp it, but Wikipedia just sucks at explaining things.
