You should be excited about your potential, you're young!  Your brain is fresh, and if you avoid falling into bad habits, there is so much that you can accomplish.  Don't let the dramas of the teenage years get you down.  If you work hard in school, everything else will naturally work out fine.

I'm 55, my time is running out.  And I wasted too much time worrying about nonsense as a youth.  I wish I had studied programming at your age -- I think I could have accomplished so much more than I will be able to now.

Python is a great choice, such a clean and beautiful language.  Good luck with all of your projects.

Thanks, you made me feel better with that comment.

I'm happy to be able to offer encouragement.  What I wrote before was what I would tell my younger self if I could go in back in time.  Many people learn things the hard way; wise ones learn from others' expereinces too.  One thing that really helped me break out of gloomy periods was reading the autobiographies of my heroes.  Learning about the struggles of others can help you find inner strength.  Wishing you great success!

Practical Co-ordination and move distance:

The Set of all Squares in Board, S = { a1,a2,a3,....h8}

In co-ordination

       { (1,1)(2,1)(3,1)(4,1)(5,1)(6,1)(7,1)(8,1)
         (1,2)(2,2)(3,2)(4,2)(5,2)(6,2)(7,2)(8,2)
         (1,3)(2,3)(3,3)(4,3)(5,3)(6,3)(7,3)(8,3)
         (1,4)(2,4)(3,4)(4,4)(5,4)(6,4)(7,4)(8,4)
         (1,5)(2,5)(3,5)(4,5)(5,5)(6,5)(7,5)(8,5)
         (1,6)(2,6)(3,6)(4,6)(5,6)(6,6)(7,6)(8,6)
         (1,7)(2,7)(3,7)(4,7)(5,7)(6,7)(7,7)(8,7)
         (1,8)(2,8)(3,8)(4,8)(5,8)(6,8)(7,8)(8,8) }

 

In this System , it is very difficult to do calculation for single  move.
Many many equations will arise and it is nothing but  time waste.

To solve this problem- there new co-ordination system:

      { 11 21 31 41 51 61 71 81
        12 22 32 42 52 62 72 82
        13 23 33 43 53 63 73 83
        14 24 34 44 54 64 74 84
        15 25 35 45 55 65 75 85
        16 26 36 46 56 66 76 86
        17 27 37 47 57 67 77 87
        18 28 38 48 58 68 78 88 }

Suppose , there is Nd4 = N(4,4)= N(44) [actually it is equivalent not equal]


[ "x" for grab a square, "x" for  holding squares]

So,
 (N x 44) x { 23, 32, 56, 65, 36, 52, 63, 25 }

differences from centre 44 are [8,12,19,21,-8,-12,-19,-21]

      [ 44-23= 21
         44-32= 12
         44-56= - 12
         44-65= - 21
         44-52= -8
          44-63=-19
          44-25= 19]

For diagonal distance =[ 9,11,-9,-11]

For vertical distance = [1,-1]
For horizontal distance = [10,-10]

Test it you will find the same results.

this is a silly system. we have better. whenb you say Na1 it means the horse is goint to the first square of the first column

you can not understand it with your shallow thinking. There are practical needs.In mate calculation i 've faced  several problems and finally to solve problem i came into this conclusion.

no there are no practical needs. all need to know is already here. we have nice way of referring to the squares using letters and numbers. you dont understand that when we write a6 everybody understands it is the 6th square in the first column. end of story. this is what happens when somebody studies maths he doesnt understand simple things.

Stupid, do not think that people are silly like you .  Read my earlier post and you will find whether i do understand or not. Actually you tried to make me outraged. Troll, Get out of here. If do not like it, leave it. You are  lack of intellectual ability. I pardon you , naughty boy.

Be nice, gentle and civilized. Get smarter. Do not be rubbish.
Did not your parents teach you anything good?

People like me replied  your answer, is not it enough for you?

Do not act like pauper and poor. I can buy you like products for one time use.

Has anyone here learned calculus yet?  Because I need help, I'm already almost into 7th grade, and I haven't learned it yet!EmbarassedPlease help me!Cry

But I already know Algebras I & II and am well on my way in pre-calculus!

i was in barnes & noble a couple of weeks ago and came across a book called "all you need to know you learned in kindergarten".

It's actually true

it cant be true. algebra needs years and years of training before you master it. calculus will come later when you have more knowledge.

You're wrong.  I'm in the Takoma Park magnet and also do lots and lots of extra-curriculars both alone and with my dad, with whom math is an integral part of his job as an economist.

but your dad is a smart guy isn't he?

As I recall, Newton developed The Calculus to solve a problem of the net gravitational attraction on a point-mass inside of a hollow, homogeneous sphere.

The answer was, that the gravitational attraction was null, and the point-mass was "weightless."

Yes, my dad's a smart guy.  I'm reviewing geometry with help from him.

then any math he needs don't you think he can learn on the job?

Nice. Keep solving algebra and triangles with your dad. When you become 20 years old you can try calculus but till then it's pointless as it is very complicated

let me speak to him

Please ignore GreedyPawnEater's attempts to discourage you.  All of his posts that I've seen are full of negativity and bitterness.  Don't let naysayers sidetrack you from your ambitions.  There is nothing to stop a motivated 7th grader from learning algebra, calculus, and even more.

No by all means do what you enjoy! We say yes here! but just understand because you guys are smart, technically, you can learn it at any time.......

Good, keep it up!

My son got his degrees (BS and MS) in engineering and started at nearly $100,000 per year, right out of college.

You are not helping him at all. It's like telling a 1200 player to study Najdorf theory up to move 30. There is a long way before he can study calculus

And just instead of spending a voluntary hour on the math perhaps he can try something new.... makes life more interesting
