Math Is Fun Forum

Oddly they mostly consist of British and French people, not to sound discriminatory but I just find it odd ! I'm trying to make sense of it, will they sabotage me, do they even care do they think I'm a loser and they are better ? I've seen some of the work they have produced and I know I could produce equal to or better.  Why won't they help if they see I'm struggling is this club so small that they rather keep it like that and they didn't like me, despite even knowing me ?

Well I've done that, but only gained so far a small percentage but I know that the tap as run dry and I sure as hell am never going to 'rejoin' those forums again besides I'm at a pretty comfortable point except for this geometry math stuff if I were to have this mastered, I will have almost conquered my goals.  My goal was to drain them for a little more information on the advanced topics then leave but nothing ever works out exactly how you planned it, and after the ridiculing began I knew that was my Que to leave. I don't care to be part of the circle I want the information the knowledge I feel better knowing that I have solved a hurdle.

What you're saying is I may never be able to land a position in what I really enjoy doing even if I do learn what I'm currently stuck on because of them, how is that possible ?

What if you have gained knowledge over months/years how can you still be a newbie if your now progressing to 'advanced' stuff ? I'm sure those that are no longer a 'newbie' use to be a 'newbie' how did they manage getting out of 'newbie' status by being an a** ?

Why are they like that ? Do they think they are better just because they know something that I don't at the time or I need help, maybe more help then usual at times ? I was letting it bother me so badly two years ago I was expressing it to my family who had no idea about this stuff and I had to describe it and they were getting upset over it but already then warning me "you need to stop communicating with those people, they are real A**es. They also said you got people who you don't know their lives behind a monitor which is easy do behave like they do !

I've not been doing good lately.  I can't post the probably because although it's math it's related to a program, someone would have to download trial copy of the program for me to explain !

I'm going to do some matrix and array studying, when I have question I'll update

JScript. 
What do the following terms mean:

- Build Array
- Insert in Array
- Find in Array

Can you give an example, so they appear easier hopefully for me to understand as I want to try them out, unless that is you'll maybe need to know the tools names with what I use ?

I understand how a matrix to vector works.  If a matrix is converted to the scale of a object that would be x,y,z, I'm sorta understanding.

In your example you have 2,3,4 for the scale X,Y,Z what if you put 2 in the last column what axis is that ?

What does the other empty parts of that matrix, represent they must represent something ?

In post #195 the first 4x4 matrix how is that read in 3D ? See how you have sX diagonally what do the other columns represent ?

How did you get latex to create a space between each number in your matrix graphs ?

Do you know a page that list all the symbols used in a latex in that program so I understand ?

In post #177 you list a matrix with a,b,c,d,e,f (etc) those are just variables that you could enter in numbers, as you mentioned matrix use variables which can be replaced with the numbers aka they are a fill in the blank type system
