Mathemathics are undoubtedly a foundation all modern science is built upon. But unfortunately, it's also one of the more boring ones. All that equations can get kinda tedious, don't you think? My question goes thus - can you actually make it awesome/badass/what have you? Any ideas are welcome, especially outrageous and those you can apply in real life - doubly so.

Clarification/disclaimer: i'm not really into algebra because i'm more into arts and crafts and whatever.

you could refer to a group of ten or more obnoxious teens as an "F". as in a "Fucking waste of time and space".

Wow, that rhymed too!

Yeah, Try telling anyone in 3rd grade about what a normal algebra problem is to you and they'll think you have the brain of a super computer. That can make it very fun

Algebra isn't boring! I rather like it. Then again, I want to be a maths teacher so yanno.

For every noob we kill, we have to teabag them 50 times. Let's say the number of noobs is 'n' and the number of teabags is 't'. When n is 1, t is 50. when n is 2, t is 100. This gives us the equation t=50n. Now here's a gun, test out the formula for yourself.

There must be a great deal of explosions or cookies whenever a problem is solved. And some kind of electric hat is in order.

Women are the source of evil. My proof:

Woman=Time
Time=Money
Money=[sqt]Evil (Money is the root of all evil)
Hence Woman=[sqt]Evil

Thus women are the root of all evil. They are responsible for everything wrong in the world?

(j/k, of course...)

I don't know too many people who actually like math.

Algebra has been made awesome every time you play a fun computer game. Computers don't run on anything but math.

Change all the constants to what you want. I would spell words with the constants. In a problem I once used the constants 'F', 'K', 'U', and 'C'.

How about this for awesome: There are several different types of infinity, of different sizes. And if you dont believe me I can prove it to you, in about 5 minuets using no complicated ideas or words of more the 3 syllables. Go to http://rebellionkidsblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/respost-why-i-love-maths.html if you want to see the proof, I promise you it's totally true and unbelievably amazing.

Yeah, but it's a "black box" principle - contents don't really matter for you when you use it. I'm talking about plain pen-and-paper math.

Algebra... the only things I can think of in Algebra are ratios, PEMDAS, FOIL and Pythagorean Theorum. Pascal's Triangle...

for me, I don't have to think about it, so I have no idea how to make it fun...
