Calculate 'x' using the following formula as base :-

t+a=x

Where 't' is the number of threads, 'a' is the number of Accyweb members and 'x' is the number of ensuing disagreements (please note for the purpose of this calculation pedantry, semantics, grammar police and downright grumpiness should be discounted as the resultant would be ∞+1 )

p.s. show all workings in the margin

No, how about Moorhouses Pride of Pendle? I like that one but they have about another 5 'real ales', all good ones. New ones in regularly.

Checked today(purely for research you understand), they haven't knocked the penny off, still £2.10 so I only had one pint.

What's 'rocket fuel'? Some sort of cider?

Moorhouses Pride of Pendle? Must admit I hadn't noticed that one, Gordon. Will give it a try on Easter Monday!

A recommendation from a fellow professional drinker and a "deep ender", no less! That'll do me, Jay! ;)

Well, if the place is that good and you only have one pint. How many of us can you fit into your car?

Please remember, when you organise this trip out, we will need toilet stops on the way back...




...and they had better have as good a choice of ale!
:D

Just there is better.
True! I'll never be good at it but I'm not scared of numbers now. I like to think I make up for it with other things lol

I know what's meant here I think-if I can see Algebra as one way of using calculations, and how this can be related to the important times in life where Maths is needed :D
However I still do not see the point in it. When I did Maths at GCSE we'd be given a scenario such as the one you use as an example (apart from a shop and sweets,maybe, rather than a pub and pints :D ) and I wasn't so phased by those. Why there's a need to make things more complicated by adding letters is nonsensical to me!

I love Pendle. When you take this road trip for the real ales, you're putting me in the boot. :);)

Trip to Pendle = nagging wife + spending money

much better to quantify todays calculation as

Go to pub = fun + spending money - nagging wife

Letters are just used to represent a number that you don`t yet know, there may be an equation you use regularly, but each time the numbers used in the equation are different, each time you just replace the letter with the number.

But you really didn't need algebra to work it out...you are just showing that you could use algebra if you wanted.
I can't do algebra, but I can work out simple things like that.

There's a point to it...but only for certain professions and skills..it's highly unlikely that you or me will send a rover to Mars, place an order for the number of bricks you need to build the next Empire State Building or figure out how wide you need to build a septic tank with a length of 2m a depth of 4m to cope with a volume of 30m cubed...

However, if you ain't introduced to it at some point, how will you ever know if you want to send a rover to mars etc..etc..etc..

Lol I hear you. It was kind of my point at the beginning of this thread-what they teach these things for and why you have to be so good at them-I think it's over-rated as a subject given its content.

I'm glad it's not just me :)
And yes, for everyday situations where Maths is helpful, I'm okay now. But I think I would have been a lot better a lot earlier in life, if I wasn't made to feel the way I did about it from day one.
I still find myself questioning if I have worked something out correctly-doing the sum again because 'Well It's me!I can't have got it right! ' lol :)

There's the thing...algebra is only simple in its basic form...take one of the examples I gave in my last post..

Most schoolkids know that to find the volume of a box you need to multiply the width by the depth by the length or in maths terms V=WxDxL, could you work out the depth if you were given the volume, length and width....because anyone that can do basic algebra could. If you don't dig that septic tank deep enough you are going to be in serious waste product ;)

Nope...I couldn't, as I said...me and Algebra didn't get along.
I have lived a long time and I haven't noticed the need to indulge in algebraic formula of any description...simple sums have got me through my life(thank goodness - because it was all greek to me at school).

Some people join with their own agenda...to sell something or to advertise something...they don't stop long.
Some people join in, but don't really like the way AW runs, then they try to tell us how it should be...they don't seem to stay long either.

For most new members the ideal way is to participate in the threads after seeing how the land lies.......and to realise this is not real life.....only virtual life.

You did ask the question right at the start of this thread,"What was your take on maths and your usage of it when leaving school", I could have just gone along with you and everyone else and said it`s a complete waste of time and never used it since leaving school, but wheres the fun in that.
Excuse me? Post 141? Was that not fun? I'd have spent all of my life studying example number #5.

Oh, hang on I did. but you seem to have missed the 'Fun', because you would rather have a go at Jaysay!!!
You claim to have put diversity and added to the post, maybe you have?
But if you look at the history of the site, every thread does that anyway,
It's a natural process for on here.
Join in, please, but don't think you are the first to wander.:)

That can be said about any insult, you`re ugly, you`re boring, you`re thick, can all be an opinion of someone, but is still an insult.
Anyway, as far as the none-insult goes, it`s water off a ducks back, just thought there was a bit more to jaysay than that.:o

Here's a wander for you L...as I was leaving a local hostelry not 30 minutes ago, no names no pack drill

*DP touches his nose for dramatic effect*

I saw a car numberplate TI7 TAT.....
My mind was hurting trying to work that out.
Maybe Mrs Tattersalls little lad announcing himself??
tis Tat ???
I welcome the multitalented and multifarious but venable posters on here's suggestions.

I suppose in reality it's not too far a wander cos' it does combine Numbers and letter. *chuckle*

Mathematics is power ... without it society would have remained at the level of that in Yorkshire. Mathematicians were so important to military success in WW ll, that Churchill referred to the mathematicians at Bletchley Park as "the geese that laid the golden eggs and never cackled."

By the way, when you guys were trying to figure out how many pints you could get for 20 pounds, how come nobody figured in the tip? Bunch of cheap sonsabitches, eh.;):D

Do you know, I could have said that, it was on the tip of my tongue, I didn't so you posted it first.

However, in three days time neither of us will know what the heck it meant!

Immaterial, for the same could be said of a fleeting conversation in the local snug amongst friends & alcohol, definition tends to hazy recollection if not outright amnesia. :)
