As a senior in high school, I've taken every math offered at my school. I've taken Algebra I and II, Geometry, Trigonometry, Precalculus, and I am currently taking calculus. Honestly, I have hated math ever since first grade. Since I started calculus in January, I have dreaded sixth period and the horrors and pain it seems to bring.
I started watching "Numb3rs" a couple of weeks ago. I had heard from some of my teenage friends that it was a good show, and I wanted to check it out. I was so surprised to see a hot guy who was good at math and was helping catch criminals! I had never thought that the math I hated could be used like that.
Teachers have always told me that math has an application in the real world, but honestly, I didn't believe them- until now. I don't dread calculus anymore. In fact, I go into sixth period every day wanting to learn more about what is now a fascinating subject.
Thank you, Numb3rs, for getting me interested in math. And thank you for a great, even educational, show that every kid should watch. Math is so cool now!!!!
