I like programming but it's like my left-side of the brain is just dead with certain things, math just isn't intuitive to me and I have problems especially with trigonometry, no matter what way I look at it.
Not that it really matters, but it annoys me.

Programming is inherently mathematics intensive. Read SICP.

Problems with trig? How do you have trouble with a branch of math you can do with a ruler?

Just give up, I'm serious. I'll never be a painter and you'll never be a programmer. It's not like people are rarely born with the programmer spark -- it's that people are rarely born with anti-programmer spark. You had the luck to be one of the non-programmers, and I'm one of the non-painters.

trig& geometry was really the only part of math i hated in school(before i dropped out)
I could do fine with axioms/rules/solutions but drawing them and drawing functions on paper was like an insult to human progress. It felt so primitive and awkward.

A strange neurosis, evidently contagious, an epidemic mass hysteria. In two weeks, it spread all over town.

You just had shitty math teachers in high school, or just didn't pay attention. You need to familiarize yourself with more basic mathematical concepts and then move on to Trig when you are ready.

Just remember the equations needed and what the parts of the equations mean. That got me through most of my post-16 education.
If i'm been trolled i don't cry "IHBT" or throw insults(Its counter-productive, actually by crying "IHBT" you feed the troll again), I accept this as feature of online world some might exploit and move on to better things.

Your grammar, spelling and general English skills have gone down the drain recently, FV.

>>12 If one says IHBT every second post its probably trolling, but sometimes people do post IHBT just because they feel like it. >>13 "recently" you should look at past threads. Plenty of such remarks.

Our eyes are made to see forms in light; light and shade reveal these forms; cubes, cones, spheres, cylinders or pyramids are the great primary forms which light reveals to advantage; the image of these is distinct and tangible within us without ambiguity. It is for this reason that these are beautiful forms, the most beautiful forms. Everybody is agreed to that, the child, the savage and the metaphysician.

Shouldn't you try fixing that? Or, you know, post anonymously so we don't identify it as you? Or better yet, stop lying to yourself and sign up to a phpBB forum already?
>>18 Its natural that along with foes i would have fans. he goes by when he feels he might be ridiculed, i could easily post anonymously: i have nothing stopping me.
