I hate math

So I'm waiting on my teacher to arrive for her office hours for my statistics course. We have to fix the problems on our the exam we just took that we missed. She gave us a study guide which I completely followed. I was assuming that if it was truly a guide concerning what I should study in order to do well on the exam....then I should do well on the exam. So there were problems that weren't mentioned in the guide and I can't find an example of them in the book. It should be noted that I have a history of being bad at math and that I hate numbers. I can do geometry pretty well for some reason but when it comes to mathematical concepts that I will never have a desire to use I tend to have trouble. So anything involving algebra, statistics, calculus etc, I can't do very well. I don't think that its due to a lack of intelligence, but more so due to the fact that no one explains the simple things that I need to hear anymore. Everyone just assumes everyone knows it. Well I don't so teach me everything. Tell me what this greek symbol means cause it doesn't apply to my world today until you do so. Teach me and I will learn, until then I will continue to hate math and the people who have failed to teach me it in a decent manner. Which would be all but one teacher in my entire life. I don't really hate them...but they should probably find a new job cause they aren't doing the one they have now. The end

I really do hate math as well, I do not see how monomials or confusing algebra applies to real life. Its really frusterating!

listen people i'm fed up with the f***** ellipse. - I'm going mad as a f*****.

Look f****** here: an ellipse. Its f**** formula x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1.
ok. Then y =b/a*sqrt(a^2-x^2) ok? yes ok. We have an ellipse f***. I know x and I can find an y for each point. right? right. And then I want to find f***** x cause I know y for that ellipse!!!!!! x =a/b*sqrt(a^2-y^2)!!!!! f****** YES? F****** NO! Cause this f*** x is another ellipse along y and not along x. Si knowing Y I cannot find x for THIS ELLIPSE. DONT LET THEM TO FOOL YOU! X!=Y. NEVER! SOMETIMES NOT F******* ALWAYS. X!=Y. I CANT FIND Y FOR AN ELLIPSE KNOWING X AND VICE VERSA.
