huh
u're learning to be a chef right
what has maths got to do with it?
and hor
if it's not difficult,
what's the point in learning that?
Not surprisingly, many outsiders believe that culinary courses
require no maths at all.
The maths required is very basic, you will not get x^2+3x+2=0
and the likes of it, but at the very least you must be able to
mentally calculate
proportions without mistakes.
Stress level, I will say it depends on whether you are gifted or
not. If you are gifted in the culinary arts, it will be
smooth-sailing for you, if not, you will find it VERY tough work.
If you are the latter, you might find yourself chopping the same
vege over and over again until the instructor is satisfied.
Also, memory work is important too, cause you need to be able to
write down for paperwork how much of each ingredient is needed
for specific dishes, and how long do you need to boil certain
stuffs. Once again, maths will also come in here as you will need
to calculate for yourself the amount of ingredients needed for the
same dish for different amount of people.
All in all, it is not hell. It is just going to be very
tough.
