How do you know you're good at maths if you've never done maths ?

>true math is only higher math
>being good at the basics is not a hint that you are good at the more advanced stuff

Being able to walk is not a hint at being able to be an Olympic athlete

Being able to add and fucking subtract doesn't mean you're even remotely competent at even differentiation

mathematics isn't plural. it's math.

I am going to do a math.

Enough you useless algebra fag, probably in your 3rd year.
Calculus always was an important part of maths, can't do calculus, can't do maths.

Hey i got my CPA and im doing really well for myself, accounting can make great cash

is 840/980 (87th percentile) on the Math GRE any good? Pic related, score a guy at my uni got, but he's a Rhodes Scholar

Arithmetic is tufff desu

>>8706676
I had 86th in verbal and 98th on quantitative with less than a week of preparation. Only got a 4 on written though.

>>8706676
Yes it's good. Not supremely astounding but it's good.

He means the subject test.

I can tutor in calc 1, so it would be best if you let me handle all the maths here

My AP Biology teacher in high school once said she was very good with numbers because she could solve Hardy-Weinberg shit without a calculator

No, if I'm good at math, I would be working on wallstreet

Being effective at using basic calculations reliably and often is still being "good at math" even if you don't value it as much. Some with accounting as engineering.

>>8707082
*same, not some.
I don't claim to be good at english by any metric.

>>8705274
Then why not say that "mathematic isn't plural"? What's the 's' for?

>>8707082
>Being effective at using basic calculations reliably and often
lel just use excel

>>8705272
>Being able to walk is not a hint at being able to be an Olympic athlete
It's a hint if only a few people are able to walk.
If you are able to do the basics well you might not be Von Neumann, but you're at least more apt to study further than the people who struggle with it.

>>8707149
it is true, though

>>8705246
ther'es literally nothing wrong with going into Accounting if you are good at math. Math skills can only be a benefit in that field right?

>>8705276
>>8705533
>4.0 in physics and math degree but can't do long division

>>8707446
this is true. if someone is career oriented, good at math, and willing to work in the field, then accounting is a perfectly reasonable line of work.

a related, but better paying, field is actuarial sciences. if you like the part of scientific experiment data analysis which deals with curve fitting and measurement, it is similar to that, but for finance instead

The implication is that being good at arithmetic equates to being good at math. However, arithmetic is only a single aspect of math.

>I'm good at arithmetic so I'm going to major in accounting.

>good at math
math as in solving problems or remembering formulae?
