Chemistry HELP!!! Chemistry nothing like mth?

so far all the math you've had to practice is "Perfect World" Math, meaning all the shapes have precise dimentions, measurable angles, rounded-off mass, etc.

Welcome to Chemistry and the world of REAL math, AKA Physics.

In physics you must be absolutely precise.

Significant figures means to the degree of accuracy you want to attain. Most data in the REAL WORLD cannot be represented with a whole number unless the subject of that data is generalized.

For example, you are not 15 years old. You're probably 15.00001years old, if you stretch it out to 7 significant figures.

Fractions are often inprecise and they are no longer usable , either.

Just go with the flow. This level of math is about learning operations, not being able to do complex arithmetic in your head.

You might end up being better at it than you thought if you stop stressing out.

When you think about the qualities found in a true "soul mate" relationship, what one word comes up most often on the top of your list? Is it Chemistry? Probably. It is often described as a feeling that leaves you breathless, excited and weak in the knees. Palms sweat, the heart races and the body tingles with nervous anticipation. The conclusion most would-be lovers come to is that if they experience these intense feelings towards someone, they have the basis for an ideal and lasting relationship. Right? Maybe not. For this definition of chemistry is limited to one's physical response to another person. It lacks an entire dimension that resides in our values, beliefs, personalities and worldview. In order to know you have the right connection with a potential (or existing) partner, it's important to have a basic knowledge of what real chemistry consists of, that surround it. This can be difficult to do. This intense, physical passion is the stuff that Oscar winning movies and best-selling books are made of. So, take a step back for a minute and see if you recognize yourself. :-)

Chemistry is experiment. Mathematics is a theory.
