LOL! Oh my God, he gave me a headache! That was painful.

Just to be clear, it wasn't Mike, it was the Maths!

 

[imemkay]

LOL! No, it was Mike. After he started trying to do the Maths, I couldn't even remember what the original question was!

 

[NippleMuncher]

That's the Maths fault!

This does NOT belong on page two.

Math is sexy.

A fun little memory:


I was infamous in my analytical geometry class...

Mr. Lassen would conclude a lecture with, unless MR. QUERY has an alternate and unnecessarily complicated solution?

Mr. Lassen passed away recently I am told. I can't picture him having aged 30+ years. When you don't see someone anymore, their age stays fixed in your mind...I picture him maybe late 30s, early 40s.

A childhood friend of mine...talking about how when studying mathematics there is a schedule to it...you MUST learn THIS before we tell you about THAT.

Anyway...Queryfriend posted on Facebook:

The Riemann Zeta Function can be used to approximate any infinitely differentiable function arbitrarily well. Geez, why didn't they just tell us that in the first place?

I'm pretty sure most of his friends and mine fail to see the humor.

Math...back when I was sitting in math class I never thought I would have to solve for X. Then I became a computer programmer. In fact an actuarial programmer. Now I not only know how to find X, I also know that to get there, I need to know the morbidity rate, the turnover rate, the present value of the mortality rate and the age of the future deceased.

This seems so much simpler...

A limerick:

Doesn’t look like a limerick to you? Try this:

A dozen, a gross, and a score
Plus three times the square root of four
Divided by seven
Plus five times eleven
Is nine squared and not a bit more.

You're a sick, sick man, Em!

Uggghh... math.

Where the F was this when I was in school? Oh yeah, right, computers were still the size of a small bus and we weren't allowed to have calculators in class.

Hell when I was back in school calculators were the sized of a bus and no one had heard of computers except in science fiction stories, and even then they were called ultra calculators and were the size of a house.

Everyone did have a slip-stick though...slide rule for you uninitiated.

In my sophomore year of HS our school had one computer in each home room and the servers took up half the damn basement. It ran on Dos of course.

In my sophomore year of HS our school had one computer in each home room and the servers took up half the damn basement. It ran on Dos of course.

The last year of high school, they finally got a terminal that hooked up to an IBM 360 mainframe somewhere not the high school. It connect via a 300 baud acoustic modem. The terminal was also the printer and there was an 80 column punch card reader hooked up to it also.

Those were the days.
