Renegade343 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Whenever you see this symbol (≣) instead of this (=), please note that it would most likely not be a misprint. That symbol (≣) represents 'strictly equal to', or 'identical to'. That should help you a small bit with math finals (as to why math lessons never teach that small thing, it is always beyond me, given that most people seem to scratch their heads and write that off as a misprint when it is most likely not).

izzatuw Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Why you no gib Math Tenno tuitions to everyone in the forums >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade343 Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 Why you no gib Math Tenno tuitions to everyone in the forums >.< Because apparently, no one wants it? And besides, I tend to see myself as a bit like Wizard Howl. Knows my stuff, not that motivated to teach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somedude1000 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Because apparently, no one wants it? And besides, I tend to see myself as a bit like Wizard Howl. Knows my stuff, not that motivated to teach. To be fair, If someone had problems in mathematics, the very last place they'd want to post them is on the internet where they would get ridiculed. For instance, when I was in secondary, my teachers would make students who asked for help in their additional mathematics to stand in front of the flagpole during the assembly, if you didn't understand it when they taught you, it means that you're a bad student and deserve the shame. This mentality carries over to the real world where even as grown ups, these people end up feeling ashamed to request for help and would rather fail than look for assistance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorruptArbiter Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Why don't they just use == like in computer science? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade343 Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Why don't they just use == like in computer science? Because it takes up more space? And besides, it looks nicer to have an additional line, instead of the bitwise EQUAL symbol (yes, I like to call that, since it completes the bitwise set a bit).

Renegade343 Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 finals for me was like 2 weeks ago lol Give me your mathematics paper. I want the questions, and I want to solve all those questions (be it any form [GCSE, A-Levels, IB etc.]). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobsdie4eva Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Why don't they just use == like in computer science? Because there's no triple line equals on thr keyboard and it can be tedious to remember ASCII values. Whereas when you're writing you can draw anything Edited December 29, 2014 by Noobsdie4eva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
