I don't want to insult the two members of my "tribe" out there, but this had me chuckling...



I'm reminded of the time I spent working with geostatistics, ore evaluation, etc. I was sometimes described as a "numerate geologist", some sort of abnormal subspecies...

I don't think geologist is what Calvin said.

You could have easily put English major or Communication major on there.

What? It speaks the truth!

I just barely passed math in university. It was, by far, the lowest marks I've ever recieved.

Math is for engineers and people like that.

Math just sounds difficult out of context.

For instance: How many beers in a six-pack? Now drink one. How many are left?

See, it's easy.

Thank gawd I'm in marketing. The only math I need is how much I can spend.

An unkind person would say that that's all the math a woman needs...

I would never say that, of course, but you were really asking for that response!

Point taken. I just know that if I don't spend it this year, I don't get it next year. That's how it works.

I wouldnt say that Tundra. maybe I'm the exception but I never passed algebra in high school. Now I'm an engineer at a power plant. ya I learned algebra, calc, and trig in the navy, but i've never considered myself number-friendly. maybe I was too young to really grasp an intrest but I still hate numbers, but numbers=$$$ at my job so I'm growing to love them more and more.

If only my calculus profs had taught me in terms of beer.
