Edited by: mercyonman on 26/02/2009 01:23:29 i have nothing to give i was just wondering if this was correct on multiplying polynomials
question: (-r+7)(2r^2-r-9) answer:-2r^3 + 15r^2 + 2r - 63
2^2=2 with the power of 2 (^2 is the multiplying of the exponent by 2 times)

-2r^3+r^2+9r+14r^2-7r-63= = -2r^3+15r^2+2r-63
Looks right. -------- Ideas for: Mining

Does it involve thermodynamics? No?

Edited by: Zyck on 26/02/2009 17:16:59 If you're going in to engineering, this is not only useful, it will consume your soul.
You're going to be doing something like this, but each variable is going to represent a function that you're trying to integrate by parts, three times over, while solving for a general solution of some second order non-linear differential equation to calculate the average rate your GPA is going to fall based on a function of time (in semesters) and how thick the accent of your teacher is.
Oh, and you'll have about 5 minutes to do it. -Zyck |

I actually did do that a few years ago. I was leaving my dorm room to go to class and forgot to close the door, so I reached back to close it, except I didn't walk back to grab the handle; I just pulled it closed from the end with the hinge on it. Since there's nothing to hold onto there I had to pull it closed with the friction between my hand and the door, so, predictably, I started pulling it, it started moving, the angle between the door and me changed and my finger tip slid down into the hinge just as just as the whole weight of the door moved in to crush it.
tl;dr, you think getting your finger caught in the doorknob end of a door is bad, try absorbing the entire moment of a door's rotation with your fingertip. __________________________________

Maths is the fundamental basis for the totality of human knowledge, even English and history. Saying you hate maths is like saying you hate knowledge.
I'm a mathematician, so I may be slightly biased here. ____________________

I see your finger in the door and raise you a bell end caught in your zipper.

To be fair, math is incredibly tedious and boring.
I've taken enough of it that could have easily had a math minor with maybe 2 more classes, and I hated almost all of it.

No it's not! If you find it tedious and boring, you're being taught wrong. Some of the concepts I came across studying maths were some of the most beautiful and elegant constructs I have ever seen. Seeing simple set-ups such as z|->z^2+1 in C produce a result of infinite complexity like the Mandelbrot set. Imagining continuous curves that are nowhere smooth. Playing with 4, 5, 6... dimensional non-orientable manifolds like a Klein bottle.
Maybe I'm just weird, but I can't see how anyone can find that boring. ____________________

Got to agree there. It goes for any subject, it's not what you learn, it's how you learn it and what you see in it. If you're getting bored with a subject, stop looking at it head on and start thinking of possible idiocies of it.
English language can get really boring at school until you start to alter it slightly and sea hoe ewe cone cnahge it bert steel reed it. Most native English speakers will understand what I wrote but is shows how you can make it fun if you take a sideways view of it.

agree 100%
i had a high school chemistry teacher that could not only make the subject interesting but was able to teach the ins and outs to kids that were failing every other class.
there were kids that couldn't pass a math class to save their life that ended up in advanced chem their senior year, and that guy didn't hold back either. The chem education i got in high school blew away all of the freshmen/sophmore level chem classes i saw in college. ---------- "This is Chopper Dave's made for TV movie, Blades Of Vengeance.

Of course math is necessary, and the foundation for basic creations and constructions. However, that does not mean I like it any more, and I'm a historian, so I know about how much math you need to know in order to be succsessful in the study of historical texts...If you know what 2+2= you should be fine. >>Insert generic signature here<< |

You're assuming maths is just numbers. It is not. As a historian, you must build up a picture of past events. So you must use your available evidence and facts you take for granted (like axioms in maths), and follow logical steps to build up an idea of what might have happened with whatever historical thing you're looking at. You'll also be interested in how each event fits neatly and possibly leads into the next to form a certain pattern. That is maths. Whether you like it or not, pretty much anything you do is applied maths. ____________________

Induction is brilliant; you can prove anything with it.
Example: ask anyone who agrees with your opinion to raise their hand. Ah! Someone raised their hand. At least one person agrees, so by induction, everyone agrees. QED.
That was kind of a recurring joke at uni... geeky, I know.  ____________________

Assume that k people agree with you. But trivially, you yourself must agree with yourself, so that makes k+1 people agreeing with you. Thus, proof by induction is complete.  ____________________
