Hey, Mahoning Valley starts today! Did anyone else have no clue where Mahoning Valley was before sucking it up and actually looking it up on the internet?
To be honest, I still have no idea, having not yet sucked up said.

I am actually from “The Valley” it is an area between Warren, Ohio and Youngstown, Ohio (Niles to be exact)… As funny as it may seem its probably a really good thing the Scrappers started today… The region have been ravished by GM job losses and the people could probably use something to take their mind off of it.

Which APA would this be? To me this is the American Psychological Association, though could also be American Philosophical Association. Neither of those seem like they would have workbooks though….

American Psychological Association and they do have a workbook for their writing style. Communications people use APA style so I have to learn. It’s annoying because I already know MLA so well.

Ah. I’m a psychologist, and I never explicitly learned to write in “APA style”… I probably do it wrong.

Actually I took a lot of business classes. Most business classes assign homework, but do not collect. The tests and quizzes are often difficult
So if you didn’t do your homework how did you pass the tests? Are you one of those annoying people who don’t have to do anything and still get A’s?
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
Those people either:
1. Don’t studying something hard.
2. Do a ton of work and lie about it.
There is no other option.
Most 300-400 level math (not stats) classes at any respectable university will be impossible to get an A in if you merely listen in class.
Math is a difficult class at its upper levels. Do you think someone like John Nash would need to study to get an A in those classes though when he was in undergrad? (not factoring in that he was probably off creating his own theories and studying different thigns)
I’d contend it’s an underrated skill at any level.

Not rue. My suitemate doesn’t have to do anything and she gets A’s and she’s studying political science in the honors college. She waits until the night before to do 20 page papers and gets good grades on them. I guess I’m kind of like this with papers though.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
The point was in the honors college. She has to take 2 honors classes a year. And she’s the same with those.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
So? If studying computer engineering or applied math, you have to take 12 classes like that per year. Not even close in difficulty.
Fine but she does take hard classes and she took hard classes in high school.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
I’m just trying to share my opinion that people who go around intimidating others with their phenomenal grades and horrible work ethic are either lying or just studying something thats balls easy.
Well she doesn’t brag about it. It just annoys all of us. I’m actually probably pretty close to being like this but I like her don’t brag about it so no one knows.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
Thats not my point. My point is encouragement: when working at school, there really isn’t such a thing as some natural Lebron James who is going to demolish the crap out of you despite all your puny efforts – as long as your in something real. Remember, no one works harder than Manny Ramirez at hitting, despite all that genius talk…
I guess. And I guess the stuff she does and people like her do they probably are all just really good at it already. I had Nazi english teachers in high school so I’m already really good at writing and I don’t have to work at it like some people do I guess. Probably the same with her.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
this is not true. there are those who are clearly have more aptitude for certain subjects than other people do, and will always do better than other people if doing the same amount of work (or less, in some cases).
there are absolutely LeBron Jameses of math…and Manny may work as hard as others, but those others aren’t as good, b/c of natural ability, obviously.

Yeah, the history class I took freshman year was pretty easy, but did have a lot of work. Only 2 exams (all essay) and a ton of these weird things from the book’s CD rom.

My first one seemed like it was going to be hard but I’m convinced he gave everyone in the class A’s no matter what their actual grades were. My second one was really easy because we had so many problems with the book at first.

Don’t. Here’s the thing: writing is an art form and will evolve your whole life.
Math, however, is preposterously unnatural. Gamma distributions, Fourier transforms – these things are not art or natural. These are The Great Equalizers That You Just Have To Work At To Learn.
Writing something original and worthwhile and in a nice style is much more difficult than figuring out gamma distributions, in my opinion.
Not in a scholastic setting! Not in a classroom. We’re talking academics.
The hardest things in life are so devoid of academics.
Yes, I believe the most challenging thing in academics is to write something original and well thought out in an academic journal.
And where do such cures get recognized? Academic journals. Without the ability to concisely write about what happened in those labs, there isn’t much relevance to them.
Anyway, anything else I would say would cross some lines not appropriate for LGT. So I will stop.
While scientists often make great writers (smart people tend to write well), and communication skills are vital.
But hire a grad student to type up your paper, because you just made a billion bucks and saved the world overnight!
Eh, Joe, I’m not sure I can agree 100% that smart people are going to make great writers. There are plenty of people that have a problem putting their thoughts and process into something anyone can actually read (or would want to).
There are even degrees within communication. I’ve heard several speeches that were terrible that I know I would have loved on paper.
Steel Nick
smart doesn’t automatically make good writer, but there’s definitely a correlation

Yeah, “often” and “tend” are the key qualifiers here. I definitely know some people who can kill really hard math problems but aren’t phenomenal writers. Engineers are notoriously awful writers. Lucky, they often are innately terse, concise people – which helps them at times.

i’ve enjoyed reading your thoughts on this topic, but i had to pipe up to say that, though i’d imagine unintended, this sounds particularly dickish, arrogant and presumptuous. you’ve clearly made your own judgement about the respect hierarchy, which is fine, but please don’t assume you’ve arrived at some universal truth.
by DontCallMeJoey on Jun 19, 2009 3:27 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, its just my philosophy. I would agree that it sounds arrogant – but maybe the fact that I am not studying what I have most respect for mitigates it? Like, I do something easy. But I know people who don’t, and those people study hard math and hard science, and those are the top dogs. But definitely, I’m not one of them.

Math, however, is preposterously unnatural. Gamma distributions, Fourier transforms – these things are not art or natural. These are The Great Equalizers That You Just Have To Work At To Learn.
Actually, they are profoundly natural. That’s why we have them. They describe different phenomena in the world around us.
the study of math is natural – there is very good evidence we are born with innate, or naive mathematical abilities
Right. And calculus is incredibly natural.
But gamma distributions are invented to help us deal with data sets. Not intuitive.
You know what isn’t intuitive, post-modernism. In contrast, many people would find calculus incredibly intuitive.
Calculus IS incredibly intuitive.
Which is why we learn it in high school, and go on to the much harder stuff later.
distance = rate * time. That’s the foundation of calculus pretty much right there, and that is so simple and elegant and obvious.
I still disagree with your point – gamma distributions are “not intuitive” because many people get scared off by their notation, or that of similar distributions. But that is fundamentally a language issue. If you describe a distribution to someone in a more familiar language, tell them that such and such distribution means that you get a lot of events clustering around a certain area, and fewer and fewer as you move away from that, yada yada yada – it becomes much more intuitive
By definition imaginary numbers don’t exist – so they are obviously not intuitive. They are again essentially a linguistic construct we’ve made to make the mathematical grammar make sense.
Okay. So you think abstract algebra is intuitive? This is nuts. Just because things can be understood doesn’t make them intuitive. Honestly, you and I might just disagree over the definition of the word intiutive.
ok…you got me. Algebra is not initially intuitive. But as long as you accept the notion that one thing can stand in the place of another – which again is a symbolic/semiotic property of essentially any language, it is not somehow uniquely difficult to grasp.
Yeah…. if you’re the sort of person who naturally thinks abstractly — in terms of generalizations rather than specific details — then algebra is very natural. Some people have a hard time learning to think this way, which presumably are the people who find math especially difficult.

This…. Probability can be quite intuitive when it’s explained properly. It’s often explained badly and in a formal, symbolic way alone… but if you understand the stochastic process underneath the distributions (or how it relates to another one) it makes so much more sense.
by Logodaedalus on Jun 19, 2009 3:02 PM EDT up reply actions
Probability is awesome … I just naturally understand it. After the AP test we did all probability stuff and suddenly I was the beast of the class. When I was asked to explain it to the class, though… ummm….
FE WEE
Yeah… What Adam said above is so true… math is one of the most natural subjects there is. For me, at least, it’s much more intuitive, and, well, logical, because the assumptions are always stated explicitly. It bugs me when people have entire debates without ever stating their basic assumptions.
by Logodaedalus on Jun 19, 2009 3:07 PM EDT up reply actions
I’m not denying that math is very difficult – but I don’t think it is somehow inherently more challenging than anything else. A lot of people struggle with math because it, like most disciplines, requires the accumulation of knowledge, but particularly in math, a lot of the early building blocks are more easily learned by people who are very good spatial learners…which everyone isn’t.
Notation is one of the biggest stumbling blocks, I think…
But I agree about the spatial learning part. It helps immensely to be able to visualize things spatially.

I have not taken a math class since HS because I didn’t need to. I like math and am good at it, but why spend my time like that?
AP Calc taught me more than just math.
FE WEE
I mean it’s really a tough topic to pin down. What is easy for some people is difficult for others. Some people would view a literature or writing class as very easy, but I would have to work my tail off to get a good grade in those classes.
Accounting or finance, I don’t find all that difficult
I hate math. Apparently I’m good at it, but I hate it. I love writing and English though so that’s why I’m studying communications and journalism. All writing, all the time.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
I’d say I love English too, and all of its related studies were my favorite subjects, but then I’d be ashamed at the grammar, sentence structure, vocabulary, and spelling I sometimes exhibit here.
Steel Nick
I am not ashamed at the bad grammar I use on here because I’m not editing it. This is a little bit more casual.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
True. Still, even in casual conversation don’t tell me you don’t notice the errors of others.
Steel Nick
I was separating studying from “doing homework.” To me doing homework is working on an assignment that will be turned in and graded. In most of my business classes I felt that doing the homework wasn’t as useful as learning the material on your own after attending class
That’s fine. I like to do the assignments they give even if they won’t be graded because it helps me learn it.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
Which definitely can be true. I just found I did better when I structured my learning how I wanted to
Apparently that’s how I wanted to structure it. My high school math teacher always told us to as much or as little as we needed since he didn’t grade anything in AP Calculus so sometimes I didn’t do anything and sometimes I did everything.

Steel Nick
Care to expound?
And being a casual tennis fan, I wonder why I root so hard for Federer when he competes against Nadal.
Steel Nick
I don’t really know what it is. I think it’s Tiger’s personality that doesn’t really jive with me. I detect a little phoniness with what he tries to make his public appearance be, and I usually don’t root for people like that.
There’s a little bit of Belichick in him. I admit I admire that. Focused, and kind of dick to those that get in the way of winning.
Of course there’s so much charm to a Rocco Mediate.
Steel Nick
My favorite golfer ever was Payne Stewart. You could tell what kind of guy he was, but he was also really fun to watch for me
interesting. b/w his gear and his views away from the course, i always viewed payne as a bit of a phony.
tiger has imparted into golf a type of all-out competitiveness that didn’t exist before. i’m not saying arnie wasn’t a competitive mother, but tiger has made uber-competitiveness a necessity for those who want to be competitive on the golf course.
i like that. it adds an additional level of seriousness to golf as a sport.
plus, he’s freaking awesome.

I agree, I really admire his ability to shake off bad shots (and bad rounds) and keep playing good golf.

this is a very common refrain. for people who don’t understand it, the difficulty of the game isn’t self-evident by watching the pros. even if you don’t get basketball, you can appreciate LeBron’s athleticism and shaq’s strengthand size. a 300 yard drive, in and of itself, is pretty meaningless…it takes context.
