I joined this forum because it is the only one--as far as I know--that incorporates conversation but also helps you with your math problems. It seems to welcome beginners like me. In any case, let me now formally introduce myself. My name is Stephanie. I'm 16 and in 11th grade.I like mornings. I like bicycle rides. I have spent most of my lifetime sitting down and daydreaming in desks of all shapes and sizes and doing nothing else. I am curious to find out the highest math I am capable of doing in my lifetime. I would like to pursue math because math is pretty much the basis of everything. If you look deep enough, you will find math in everything and I would love to have that ability. I would love to dwell as deep as possible and always have some thoughts with me that can entertain me.Why do you like math?

Huh? I thought saying hi was enough! Yes, I am in luck.

I would really like to learn all about graphing. I would like to learn to proficiently use programs such as SpeQ geogebra and winplot. Maybe even get to the level where I'm comfortably drawing pictures with equations. I would also like to come up with my own word problems and know whether I have enough info. to solve a mathematics problem. Of course I have to get the basics down first...

Thanks for the suggestions I'll give the books a try. I want to redo geometry and algebra 2 (the course I'm currently doing). Hopefully money isn't a problem because I hate it when material things get in your way so I'll just assume it won't 
Okay now to clear things up a bit... my intentions for getting a study partner are all well. Of course I can't prove that so I understand why you removed my e-mail address. Anyway I believe that a study partner will make you be more efficient since it will help you keep motivated and speed up your learning because each person can study a different topic and then teach it to each other etc.. Also thank-you for taking my comments seriously. If I told ANYONE that I want to major in math they would just laugh especially my algebra 2 teacher whose class I'm currently failing with a D. However I believe in hard work and 2nd chances.It's never too late to amend your path

First of all, hi there! I have found that math is something I want to pursue later in life but it turns out I'm not very good at it.(paradox, no?) The major reasons for my incompetence are daydreaming, indecision and laziness why not? Well I do like math and I do want to get better at it so if you're in the same boat as me, won't you be my math study partner? I only have 1 year to prepare for college work so getting a study partner would be really helpful. Your age won't matter, unless you have problems talking to me.I'm 16 by the way. If you're seriously interested in getting better at math and won't mind being my study partner, please do contact me through my e-mail, [email removed] and tell me some things about yourself if you'd like. Sorry if this sounds like some sort of advertisement (it's not!)If you are interested then we can talk about how we will keep in touch. Hope to hear from you soon!!!
