.......and now it's all clear to me.

Isn't that the truth.

Thats "smart" math. They should teach it in school.

Q: A 18 year old boy leaves the train station in Boston at 07:30 A.M on a Tuesday.. a 18 year old girls leaves the train station in Seattle at 14:30 on Wednesday. Assuming a avg speed of 35 mph, in which US city will they meet and screw their lives up forever ??

Boise, Idaho?

Is this from personal experience?

I'm pretty sure that's how the mid-west was populated. Why the hell else would you live there?

Sol speaks the truth as always..... I'm drinkin a beer in his honor!

Only if i would have knowen sooner....I would have a new boat by now...

Problems are solvable, women are not. That's where the equation blows up. Just like division by zero.

Who can tell me the difference between 0 and 0.1^-infinity?

infinity, now get back to work!

"You, in the back of the class..........identify yourself and answer with a little more clarity."

You can divide by 0.1^-infinity, you can't divide by 0, although they essentially the same number. The concept is the basis for Integral Calculus, much like the Tangent Line Problem is the basis for Differential Calculus. That's what's cool about going to school as an adult: I remember all this shi%.

I didn't study Shelton Math.

It's all good. Women need the money more than men so they can spend it on make-up, flashy clothes and salon appointments to disguise men from the fact they passed they're prime at the age of 20. Meanwhile the 65-year old man who lost his money to the afforementioned blister is chasing said fertile 20-year old girl around the bar with funtioning genitailia.

WE WIN!

You asked what the difference was, which implies subtraction of the two numbers according to this Poulsbo Math major......but what do I know, I didn't have to take the WASL.

Then your still wrong. 0 - 0.1^-infinity = - 0.1^-infinity. It's still as close as you can get to zero without actually being zero, except it's approaching from the negative side of the origin.

think assymtote.... very common in nature.....

Thanks M,I needed a laugh this morning to remind me why I am doing yard work instead of fishing.

I like the quick math derivation of women. I dont think step one is a linear relationship of (time*money). I beilieve it to be an exponential relationship (time*money^2). Going through the outlined simplification boils down to (woman = problems^2).

I believe you were misled in calculus class. The basis of integral calculus is taking the sumation of infentesimal slices to determine the area under the curve of an antiderivitive equation within specified limits of integration. The lesson that should be taken from dividing by .1^infinity is that as you approach zero in the denominator, the result of the division gets exponentialy larger. Dont get stuck on the essentialy the same number bit. Think in terms of approaching zero or approaching infinity. Zero is a number. Infinity is an idea to give direction to mathematical models.

The basis for differential calculus is the change in the slope of the tangent of sequential points along the line of a multivariable equation.

I have to go to the bathroom.

Must be why I got straight A's.
