time to start drawing death to the textbook doodles

Really? How many times am I going to incorrectly add -5 and 3? And after how many tries on the same six problems can I just give up, get a bad score, and go to bed?

Ah yes, about 3 tries ago. Awesome. Good freaking night.

ti-89 please. if you have one for less than $120, i am interested.

also...

why are calculators still SO expensive? it's not like we haven't had this technology for decades...

*my lack of capitalization demonstrates my disgust.

eigenvalues, operators, integrals, oh my!

Thanks to chem 462 and physics 220 I have been tossed into a stormy, swirling sea of math, and I....

....am loving it?

Maybe p chem is for me after all.


One of these days I'll do a back to school write up. I promise.

Square this.

Ok, so you know in math you do all of these "application" problems where they say, "If you know the trajectory of a ball is given by this equation, after how long will it hit the ground?" or something like that? Where do the equations come from?! If we are really supposed to be applying stuff, we should know how to make these equations! It's not like you walk around every day and see a bird flying and know, "Well it's flying northwest in a parabolic pattern at a speed of 10 mph, so I know that in X seconds it will be directly above my head." Equations aren't just handed out to you! So where do they come from and why hasn't anyone taught this to me? That would be the really useful thing to know how to do. Who cares if you can solve an equation if there's no equation given to you from your loving texting book to solve?
This has bothered me off and on since high school. I just really needed to let it out. :P

e^i*theta=what?

I was planning on writing a blog about my birthday, but I just spent my evening doing chemistry, math, and French, and it's now almost 1:00 AM, and I need to wake up at 7 to go to the math lab to finish all the homework that I didn't get done tonight because I don't understand it (anyone ever tried to derive trig identities using imaginary numbers? yeah, it's not pleasant) and the birthday blog must be good, so until then...why don't you try to come up with a reason for the title of this painting? It's called "I Love You With My Ford." Good luck.
