I dont think you guys have any idea about what i think of math. I dont hate it, i am just not good at it and i think i know the reason. It is not that I cannot remember the formulas or the equations or even the derivatives, it is that I think that I cannot understand why math was created the way it was. It was someone who decided that we should count by 1's. Why not 1/2's or anything?
Heres what confuses me. (this is not a math problem so bear with me) If you have a line that is 4 inches, a physical line that you can see, it is possible to divide that line into 3, 100 percent equal, parts. but if you have a line that equals 4, meaning you cannot see the line but it is represented as 4, then there is no way to divide that into 3 equal parts. the number comes out to 1.33333333333333....... and on forever. If it goes on forever then there is no end. If that is the case than how can you divide a line into three separate parts just fine? Theoretically, i think there should be an end and thus this is why i think math is flawed. Try and take that 3.9999999... x 3 again and you will see that it will not equal the whole number 4. There must be a problem.
