math signs

This sketch is the sixty-third in a 365-day challenge to draw a picture a day, every day, for a year…

Day sixty-three: This evening I was taking a math skills assessment to determine what kinds of problems I need to study especially for the GRE. While I got less than the maximum number of problems wrong to “pass,” I found I need work on nearly all types of problems. Sometimes when I look at a problem I see a chaos composed of unintelligible signs, and it takes me a few minutes to dig through the deep recesses of my memory to recall Algebra and Geometry classes from High School. My instinctive response to Algebra operations is usually “irrelevant!” But only because I have little clue at what I’m looking. This doodle incorporates some of the problems and answers (write and wrong) on that assessment. I was thinking of Jasper John’s drawing of the number two at the MIA, and his exploration of surface.
