Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally...

I decided I need to take my required math class next semester to get it over with... and plus so that Hubby and I can take it together. Maybe between the two of us we can drudge up out of the distant reaches of our memory how to do this algebra stuff. We both excelled at math while in high school and were in advanced classes, and yet we both have had far too many alcoholic beverages over the years and the first brain cells to be killed were the ones that did math.

We have to take a placement test before registering for the math class, so I've been studying this weekend. Yeah, it's all starting to come back to me now. I'm only trying to cram about 6 years of algebra into a few hours of studying. You know, they should have a math class for adult students returning to college... oh wait, they do, it's called "Remedial Algebra" haha.

Being in this math mood I came across this funny video on YouTube. It goes too fast to read in some spots, so just hit the pause button to slow it down...




Love the Bush speech.

FYI, the Aunt Sally thing is apparently something taught to remember the order in which to solve equations... (P)arenthesis (E)xponents (M)ultiply (D)ivide (A)dd (S)ubtract.
