Hey i'm Kirsty I've recently turned 14 and i absolutely love maths. Well, what to say about myself...well...I love maths (duh) and umm...*thinks*, I am a little mad (but isn't everyone?). I tend to do maths when i am bored and i have taught myself 765 didgits of pi and all the square numbers and roots of all the positive integers from 1 to 100. I currently look through A-Level mathematics books, mainly focusing on pure mathematics. I really want to do something to do with maths or law in the future and i am starting law for GCSE in September. I've got a bit of a head start because i studied an A-Level Law Book which was really helpful. I have never ever met a living creature who had a real passion for maths. My friends all hate maths but they'll happily test me on my squares or make me recite pi for a laugh. It appears also that the only one who's ever supported me in mathematics is my maths teacher who calls me his brilliant mathematically minded angel/star of the class/school.. He can be really embaressing sometimes and he deliberatly asked me what i got in my maths exam in the non-calculator SATS test and i said 54/60 and he then said "see this is your role model". The rest of the class hated me after that:(....but oh well. I'm still smiling:) I'm hoping I'll be able to find someone who loves maths as well. I love Maths. Who's with me???

Well i wish you a happy birthday

mikau · 2007-07-27 10:14:56

thanks!

So have you done any calculus yet?

Math_Girl · 2007-07-27 10:19:13

Yes i have
Not in school though - all by myself
I know a little about Integration, Differentiation, Logarithms and Exponentials.

mikau · 2007-07-27 11:04:54

Good for you. Calculus is an amazing subject. I think its when you start to realize just how frightfully powerful math can be.

Identity · 2007-07-27 17:49:01

Welcome Math_Girl! Seems like your a math wiz! Don't worry about your classmates, later on being good at maths becomes cool

mikau · 2007-07-27 20:00:06

yeah, so cool your friends invite you over and feed you to help them with their homework. :-)
Happens to me....

Math_Girl · 2007-07-27 20:24:55

Thank you Identity for welcoming me. As you can see my avatar says "Maths is for cool kids"

Lucky you

John E. Franklin · 2007-07-27 22:50:03

Mon Dieu!! 765 digits!!! I only got to 500 once, and then it was really slow to recite, and
then I forgot all but the original 100 I memorized back in college.

Math_Girl · 2007-07-27 23:00:15

My mum went away for a weekend about 4 months ago and i was staying at one of her friends' houses. In the room i was sleeping in, their was a poster of pi to 1000 digits. Very random i know but i wrote and learnt it up to 765 digits. I can recite it quite quickly now. My mum's actually away again and i'm at the same house in the same room for 8 days. I can see the poster if i turn my head so maybe i'll learn more
