To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive
I'm alive

It's just a number. Like any number in this crazy, messed up world we live in today.

Yay indeed. I prefer deriving though.

If f(n) = 5.5605096n, then f'(n) = 5.5605096.

I'm 17.99 years old myself.

Calculus sucks. In all my many calculus classes, there was only one point in which I felt calculus might actually be relevant to anybody's life, but it was fleeting.

Now pi, I think we can all agree is extremely useful, and tasty.

I like pi. And deriving is hella more enjoyable than intergating.

Lektor, I am the geek-o-meter. Didn't you get the email?

Different schools, so it's more time consuming and annoying than helpful.

I was pretty good at maths, but never really enjoyed all the more complicated stuff. I know enough to be competent at the maths you need every day (needed a surprising amount of it working as a carpenter), and that suits me fine!

I was seriously considering doing some sort of AstroPhysics degree at uni, but was put of by the amount of hardcore maths in it. Shame really...

Little bit of trig, mostly addition to be honest

Dude, at least put some words in your post!

It's a slippery slope between what you're doing, and just posting a :wub: smilie and turning into mrxak.

I don't want that, you don't want that, and little Timmy over there? He definitely don't want that...

Provide me with something in writing then signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, lost, found again, queried, subjected to public inquiry, lost and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighter.

I simply won't believe it otherwise.
