Default Re: How to use induction

[ QUOTE ]
I had to drop a math class in college because I kept proving everything "the wrong way" and getting no credit for logically correct proofs, as if I were psychically supposed to know to write 2-page idiot proofs instead of efficient ones. Some professors are just horrible (and thankfully that one got fired after that semester).

Same thing happened to me, all my problems were right and I keep getting 72 and 67 (still the highest) or so on. I drop the class after having a heavy discussion about how he needed some help about how to teach math, some of them just feel there is their only chance to feel powerful in life.
