Female good at Math/Physics?

If you are a female who is good at Math and/or Physics what sign are you? Most females aren't so I am interested in those that are.

I'm interested in Math&Physik
Sag.
Most importantly: the trigger: Saturn in Aqua

Always liked it! Atm i am a computer engineering student at college, I'm a scorpio.

Any females on here understand quadratic equations? I got a Math qualification recently and did fairly well but would have done better if I had managed to crack QEs. Unlike most males (I think) I find Math/technical understanding quite sexy in a woman: a couple of years ago I was doing night school in Math and Physics and there was a Gemini woman in my Physics group who was brilliant at it: I really liked her but she was married.

Do you mean quadratic equations such as: x^2+2xh+h^2 = (x+h)^2? Cause this is like simple equations we learn in first high school year in my country :O Using bhaskara formula and such to solve it... Congrats on your qualification tho.

For some reason I just seemed to have some kind of a phobia about QEs (apparently it's not unusual): I am even thinking of hiring a private tutor to help me crack them.

What you wrote is an Identity.

Equations (to be solved) are like this one: x^2+2xh+h^2 = 0.
Blahblahbla = 0.

Both Identity and Equation are discussed at school. Bascically Identities are used to solve equations, if applicable.

In the following example they use another Identity: x^2 - a^2 = (x-a)(x+a).

Here my tutoring Minute:

1. Generally speaking: solving the equation:
ax^2+bx+c=0.
means tell which value x must have so that if put in the term on the left side, the final result is 0.
Given a, b and c are known parameters.

2. The response is: there are two values to suffice the given conditions. One Value if you take the + in the middle. The other value if you take the minus in the middle.

2.a) Sometimes both values are the same. When b^2=4ac.

3. So you must be able to multiply, substract, get the root, add/substract, divide.

I guess quad-equations at school are always selected in a way that only square root of a "positive value" is needed.


In college you have to calculate square root of "negative numbers" too.

To do this you Need to understand what "i" is. It is kinda nomenclature. This is i:


Simplifying the square root of a negative number is very similar to simplifying the square root of a positive number. You just need a substitute of what is 'i'. To simplify the square root of a negative number.

nice 🙂But this is like two ways to solve the same type of thing kinda, just you have to see wich formula is applicable to wich equation. Some you can solve both with "identity" and this other formula, while more "complicated" ones can be solved only with this formula... Anyways i should have copied the generic way ax^2+bx+c=0 in my example over there hehe but nice you took the time to correct me

right. if identity is not seen withing 15 seconds, then you use the formula.

I just did correct you cause I liked that we had life in this thread. got excited and overdone things. 😉

unless its a checkbook

Ya I've always been good at math, idk I just get it. I'm a very tactile person when it comes to learning, and math isn't about reading a concept and trying to digest/understand it....in order to truly get it, you need to practice. Every time I tutor people in advanced functions or we're going through some derivatives, we do a lot of problems because it's like solving a puzzle. I also really enjoy physics, but I like chemistry more (which is essentially derived from physics and I studied that) I'm an aries. I also have saturn in aqua like dwelling.

lol difference of square factoring was the most fun for me...but for some reason, my students find this form of factoring the most difficult. Majority of them prefer trinomial factoring...I always teach the criss-cross method, so much more efficient than decomposition.

If you like female mathematicians then you'll love Vi Hart! Go check out her recreational math videos on youtube (The Moebious Strip video is awesome!) .

Found the Moebius Strip video by Vi Hart. Enjoy!

I was going to answer, but the way in which that question was posed is off putting... So, moving on!

Yep...Pisces sun. Then again, alot of how I am mentally and intellectually seems to defy the odds of what is said AND written about most Pisces women, but I have to say that the Pisces women I know personally...are like me. Lol

However, 3 of us are Pisces/Auqua cuspers. The one birn March 2nd is a lawyer though. Lol...she has a best career out of all of us. I wonder if she's good at math/physics though...hmmmm.

I'm good at both, the other Pisces born on the same day as I am is an Economist and the other born one day before us owns her own business. She used to own and manage an entire beauty shop operation, but decided to scale it down to renting a booth from another business...a spa complex. No lie...the entire building is a spa with various service booths within. I got excited just thinking about it. I digressed...I really need to get to a spa today. Lol
