Heh I was just reading some wikipedia articles and I eventually started reading about imaginary numbers and wikipedia gave a nice description that relates to this discussion:
QUOTE
Despite their name, imaginary numbers are considered just as "real" as real numbers. (See the definition of complex numbers on how they can be constructed using set theory.) One way to understand this is by realizing that numbers themselves are abstractions, and the abstractions can be valid even when they are not recognized in a given context. For example, fractions such as and are meaningless to a person counting stones, but essential to a person comparing the sizes of different collections of stones. Similarly, negative numbers such as − 3 and − 5 are meaningless when keeping score in a football game, but essential when keeping track of monetary debts and credits.
Imaginary numbers follow the same pattern. For most human tasks, real numbers (or even rational numbers) offer an adequate description of data, and imaginary numbers have no meaning; however, in many areas of science and mathematics, imaginary numbers (and complex numbers in general) are essential for describing reality. Imaginary numbers have essential concrete applications in a variety of sciences and related areas such as signal processing, control theory, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, and cartography.
For example, in electrical engineering, when analyzing AC circuitry, the values for the electrical voltage (and current) are expressed as imaginary or complex numbers known as phasors. These are real voltages that can cause damage/harm to either humans or equipment even if their values contain no "real part".

I agree with most of what your saying demaris,especially that the "special" kids get fed off of a silver platter while the top 5% are forced to sit bored out of their minds. Although rather than killing off the bottom 5% couldn't we just force them to be construction workers?

I took Algebra 1 in 7th grade, I'm now in 8th grade taking Geometry, I never do my homework and I make straight A's, our school honestly has to be the dumbest farking school around. I can talk my teachers into giving me 100s on assignments I didn't do honestly, I'm like "I was too tired, I practiced hockey for five hours yesterday" or "I tried to do it, but it was too hard" they say "Aww, that's okay you can have a 100 for effort 
." It's so farking retarded, but I like it, that's why I'm always on, honestly. As for your problem, I'd say just try to enjoy having free time. I used to get pissed about that stuff, but then I realized I was still learning enjoy online in places like this that I didn't really need the school, so now I just chill in school and learn at SEN .

The schooling system of today is way screwed over. We should have it back in the 1800s where the school was run by the community not the government. Today the board of education does the most stupidest things that will make it "politically correct" instead of educationally good.
No child left behind- this stupid law focused on test grades and the grades of the class, if the students didnt get good grades the teachers will suffer. We dont come to school to learn how to do tests we come to school to actually LEARN.
The main point that im getting at is that the school system gives you more useless work. and less actual teaching.

My school is in it for the money at the moment. we have to pay to print off our own freaking assignments at school (like 1$ a peice of paper) so they can make profit out of our work.
The other day i had to do a music assignment on how to play the Electric Guitar, and the library wouldnt let me print it off because i didnt have 5$ on me. I almst failed music because i didnt have enough money to pay for a sheet of paper! (5)
Sie_soyoka is very right to. the board of education seems to be a group of people who have never taught, and dont really have any idea whats going on.
again in concurrance with sie_soyoka the whole 'no child will be left behind' rule was stupid, because the whole class had to stay back and do work they had already mastered if one kid with a lesser intelligence didnt get it. maybe they should get tutors or something if they feel a student is getting behind.

Some say Bush's "no child left behind" act is a secret conspiracy to privatize schools...the "lesser" schools need to shut down so the private shools will be the only ones left. Crazy opinion of my Irish redneck history teacher, as he calls himself.
And since did we actually learn the important things we are supposed to, that will apply later on in life?
The entire point of calculus and physics were so the Americans wouldn't lose face in front of the Soviet Sputnik successes of the cold war.

QUOTE(Demaris @ Sep 13 2005, 05:17 PM)
Ok I just got back from school a little while ago and want to tell you how pissed i am at the school system. and why, of course.
It all started like this:
The first day of school I had Geometry (supposedly the advanced class). I went in and the teacher started teaching the pythagorean theorem. TEACHING!!! I AM IN 9TH GRADE I HAVE KNOWN THIS blam FOR 3 YEARS!!!!! That night i look through my math book and find that i know it all. Yes, everything that the book covers. So i go and ask my counseler and teacher if i can test out. Naturally they don't take me seriously, so i have to get my mother to call the
ing school to get the ball rolling. So i took the test yesterday. And, of course, NOTHING from the test was even MENTIONED in the book. Apparently i didn't do well enough to test out as I found out today. So i get to bang my head on the desk in the hope i will learn something. Also, i talked to one of my former teachers and he told me that the high school i am attending DOESN'T even have an advanced math program. All they do is move you up a grade in terms of math. So, i get stuck in a supposedly "advanced" class full of idiot sophomores. I can't believe the blam they are trying to pull. I could learn more on my own. Tomorrow, I am going to refuse to go back to that bullblam geometry class. I am going to the counseler (oooh, like they actually help? their purpose is to placate you, not help you) and saying "Either move me to a faster class or let me teach myself". I guess the school doesn't understand a basic rule: MORE HOMEWORK DOES NOT EQUAL MORE LEARNING!!!!!!!!!!!! Why don't schools accomadate to the upper level as well? I mean, the bottom 5% certainly gets extra help. Why doesn't the top 5%? I have ADHD so if i am even mildly bored my attention is absolutely elsewhere. If i get stuck in this crap class i will keep track of how slow it goes or if i get to learn at a faster rate then i will record it here as well:

Only the second week of school, and i'm already pissed.

Geometry is not an advanced class. Honors Geometry is. Here's a hard geom. question:
[attachmentid=13874]
GIVEN:
-The figure consists of a parital circle and semicircle (of equal radius) extended by two line segments
-The width of the figure at its widest point is the same as the diameter of the circle, 110m.
-The width of the partial circle is 22 m less than the diameter of the circle
Find the area of the shaded region.
Actually, that was fairly early in the year

Okay, I am in 7th grade. This year my math teacher teaches me some stupid shiz like last year, and I was farking boring and pissed. I wish I could go ahead and learn some harder shiz like you guys.*I don't know how to solve this problem, but I will try (Its confusing, whats partial circle and semicircl...) okay the answer is 110m-22m= 98m Right?
