| Quote | This class reminds me somewhat of my high school math classes. In high school I never understood what the teacher was talking about. So during class I would look at the lesson in the book and teach myself. I didn't mind doing this. That's when I liked mat | vecke | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |
| Quote | The Math in this class is something I've never experienced in any other Math class. Most of my Math classes were always problems with numbers that a calculator could figure out. There were never problems that involved much thinking. | vecke | 0 | 11 years 5 months ago |

Your passion for mathematics really is inspiring considering the fact that most of my past math teachers didn't really care. They didn't have that fire in their eyes that you have.

| Quote | When I first came to class in the beginning of the year you were always talking about how math was so beautiful. When I heard you say this I was like, what is this guy talking about?

| Quote | I do like the fact that this class isn't boring. I tend to want to understand the work because I can't get into something if I am not actually doing it.
