    Most frustrating stupid error in calculations

    Got the results from my electromagnetic field examn today. I was 3 points away from the highest grade and what made me miss those damn points are SO STUPID.

    In one step of a calculation I misscalculated 3/2+1/2 to be 4!!!! that in turn made the integral wrong.

    I MEAN WTF how the **** could I misscalculate something that trivial. ****ing hell Im ****ing pissed off

    You can be mad at yourself...or you can look at it in the fact that you beat everyone else. IMHO you still rocked it.

    ****ing chem naztzis. dont worry about it bro, i am in the same boat as you getting class averages on chem exams. my adviser told me not to worry too much about it. occasionally i will do better then class average, but think about this.

    chem 1- 3 classes with like 250-300 kids each

    chem2- 2 classes with about 200 kids each

    chem 3- 1 class with maybe 50-100 kids

    thats about what happened in my school anyway
