Thought for Today

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Looks like everyone in SA has changed their name to ‘Sarah’... even the State Premier!

If your aches & pains have you thinking you might like to go back to your youth,
remember: "ALGEBRA"!

I loved the abstract thought processes.
Not so good on the rest of maths.

Calculus was another story. Algebra was well worth learning when I took on the Electrical and computing technology advance diploma .....well when it came to transposing all the formulas for the electrical theory anyway...... I even got my head around Sine and Cosine and root mean square (that clearly related to cybernetic intercourse, or the square peg in a round hole or vice-versa but in abstract form) but calculus was a whole new world to me that I never got my head around .... possibly because I couldn't follow the concept ...... or hold that many random equations in my head at the same time :?

I'm with you Terry, algebra, Pythagoras Theorem etc were no problem but calculus left me wondering what it was all about.

Yep, have to agree, calculus didn't need gravity. It already sucked. :roll:

It appears a new insight into studies at the molecular level have cast doubt on all we previously believe ..... atoms make up everything so they can't be trusted ....
