Im not sure if youve answered an ask like this but im in a huge dilemma right now:( im 15, and have loved space ever since i was in 4th grade and have wanted to be an astronomer since then. Its just that math is kicking my ass and i know there is a lot of math tied to astronomy. I love space so much but im rethinking my career choices because of the fact i suck at math:((( i just need advice, do you think i should scrap this career path and do something else or continue working towards it?

You can, in some places, get a BA in astronomy so you don’t have to deal with so much math. However, a BA in astronomy isn’t worth a whole lot to employers unless you’re a museum / planetarium guide

Math is absolutely crucial if you want to get a BS in astronomy. At many universities, when you earn a BS in astro, you earn a BS in math too because a BS in astronomy/astrophysics is basically a math degree with more space stuff

do you think it would be worth it for me to try to become an astrophysicist even though im not above average in math? ive always had decent grades in my math classes but my parents repeatedly suggest that I should major law instead and im starting to feel kinda shaky about my decision to study astrophysics :/

astrophysics is 99% math and 1% looking at cool stuff through telescopes. Most of the math isn’t crazily hard, but there’s just so god damn much of it so it’s more of an endurance thing.

So I mean it’s very crucial to develop your math skills as early as possible, because math is a subject that just builds onto itself. If you don’t start off with a strong base then it’s going to be almost impossible for you to catch up to your classmates. Not only that but physics is the same way. 

Basically you have to be extremely dedicated to your education. If that’s something you’re going to have trouble with, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Won’t that only solve 75% of your problems?

The book solves half of your problems, not all of them

Say you have 8 problems. You read the book, and you have 4 problems. You read the book again gets rid of HALF, of those 4 problems. So you’re left with two. Out of the 8 problems, 6 were resolved and 6/8 is 75%.

Finally Tumblr can do math

So, what you’re saying, is that if I buy infinite books, I will solve all of my problems, because the sum as n approaches infinity starting at 1 of (½)^n equals 1, which would be 100% of my problems.

No, you will only ever be able to become infinitely close to solving all of your problems, like this:

that’s why radioactive material is such a bitch! it only ever deteriorates relative to its mass so it will never completely vanish

at least its correct math this time

space mom, I'm in my 2nd last year of high school and I love my physics class, but I'm very anxious about math (even though I'm not bad at it). Do you think it would be a bad idea to study physics at uni?

No, but you will need to make yourself comfortable with math. Get all the help you need and don’t wait. Bother profs and teachers about anything you don’t understand. Most unis have free math tutoring. You gotta make math your bitch

So I'm staying at home for a year to catch up on math at the local community college, but the stupid website won't let me register for any math class, not even the developmental math. I'm so mad and the counselor online is no help and I won't be able to go in to an actual appointment with someone about it until Tuesday and I'm just so frustrated ugh.

Fight them

There’s this older woman at work that always brags about her math skills like “I passed algebra with an A- !!!” Like she’s better than me with her Superior Math Skills but I’m over here taking fuckin theoretical calculus and matrix theory and fuckin quantum mechanics like hun get the y=mx+b slope of ur attitude out of my face

*At a party*
Host: So what’s your major?
Me: Astrophysics
Host: Oh! So that’s like… Space math, right?
Me: I mean if you wanna call it that, yeah
*Gets introduced as the girl majoring in space math for the rest of the party*
