What Math Does to You….

I swear I'm going insane, and Math is speeding up the process.

*note: if you get this, you're insane too*

Wow; I realize how pathetic I am everyday.

I went insane a long time ago.

The only way to survive in a crazy world is to go crazy with it. (:

Trouble is, I’m not going insane by normal standards; I’m going insane by insane standards. =O

Math made my IQ drop. stupid complex algebra. The only way for people to be good at hardcore math is to be exposed to it at a very young age. Not even in elementary school- like at pre-school level, then when they hit high school, they can do all that complex stuff that will give others brain cancer

Algebra’s the EASY stuff. But when things venture off into infinity is when I lose it.

THAT’S the easy stuff. xD Wait until you get to Calculus.

This. Trust me, enjoy the freedom that is not-Calculus while you can..

Agreed… I actually LIKED math before learning calc this year… :/

@Rep: Just wait till you put it all in 3D, and 4D, and 5D, etc.

Multivariable Calculus ftw!

Yay Trig!
Trig identities was fun 🙂

I add you up using AAP and the SAS postulate. Proving your stuff is congruent to your other obfuscated blog.

That’s Geometry Zappy, that’s like 8th grade math by American standards, which is like 2nd grade math in China standards.

Ah calculus…the textbook my school uses for that course can KILL.

… Is it one of those particularly fat textbooks? :O

Although if you drop ANYTHING short of paper/feathers down from the Empire State Building… *muses*

… and it accelerates at 9.8 meters per second per second, given that the Empire State Building is 381 meters tall, how many pages remain in the book by the time it reaches the bottom? Assume that the textbook initially has 1500 pages and loses pages at a rate of sqrt(t) pages per second, where t is the time in seconds after the textbook is dropped.

Lost almost 3 pages? o.0

Dunno lol, failing Physics.

^_^

x=1/2at^2
t=8.818
pages lost = integral(sqrtx) from 0 to 8.818
pages lost = 2/3(8.818)^(3/2)
pages lost = 17.45677

1483 pages left.

Since t=8.818, the book will lose 17.45677 pages. Of course, you can’t lose .45677 pages, so the 18th page will be in the process of coming out, but will still be in the book.

So in short, it will still have enough mass to hurt someone if it lands on them.

Depends. It’d be going about 78.7 m/s upon impact, or about 176 mph. Assuming the text book weighs about 5 pounds, that’d be like being hit by some random guy doing some lazy-ass running/hardcore jogging. Of course, if that guy hit you in the face/head, that’d be a problem, and so would the book. But anywhere else and it’s not going to hurt you too terribly. In case you were wondering, dropping coins doesn’t do anything.

Dropping a quarter is nearly equivalent to falling off and landing on a bicycle without a seat.

But still, that’s gonna give you one helluva headache.

I never said it had to be lethal, just painful.

The equation is giving me one helluva headache..

A quarter doesn’t generate a half a newton of force falling from that height. Nice try. A penny doesn’t generate even 1/5 of a newton of force. Of course, the area over which those forces are applied are rather small, but the pressure generated is still relatively small. Certainly nothing that will give you a headache.

@SaintOfSin: Understand concepts, don’t memorize formulas.
