I finally got a task to do! Yay! Of course, it's re-doing the single task I did last week.
Bye, now. Have good sex.

That's AWESOME. I like Brooke so much more all of a sudden.
I've always really liked her, but I'm positively giddy that she came out swinging in response to Cruise's remarks. He should have picked on someone his own size.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've been recently diagnosed with sleep apnea. Would anyone know of a source where I could find a CPAP machine fairly cheaply? eBay is hoping for $400+ for the few available, and I'm hoping for a better deal somewhere.
Connie, my dad has one that I don't think he uses anymore. Want me to see if he wants to sell?
(ETA: It'll probably be worth it to him never to have to hear me say "Piiiiigs Iiiiiin Spaaaace" again. What can I say, there was a...resemblence.)

That narrows the field a bit.

the Abstract Algebra and differential equations were for high school. Middle school teachers only need Algebra (er... concrete algebra? I kind of thought algebra was abstract in and of itself) and calculus through integrals. Doesn't that make you feel better?
A little. Very little.
Abstract algebra:algebra::algebra:arithmetic, in abstraction. once you've mastered that 2+2=4, and 2+x=4 -> x=2 and x+y=4 describes a line in the (x,y) plane, you can start talking about what you can say about a set if you know that it' elements are closed under some operation * and don't have the commutative property. That sort of thing. Fun, in a fairly mind-blowing sort of way that I'm not sure should be readily available to high school students.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I thought that was number theory, though.
I guess I should know this stuff, huh? I'm pretty bad at taxonomy, to be honest with you. Maybe History of Math will help with that?

Certainly, I'd be very grateful. I have to stop making elephant jokes about Hubby now.

Number Theory is more concretely about numbers and how they behave while Abstract Algebra deals with elements that have certain properties that may or may not be illustrable with numbers. Most of what I remember from Number Theory had to do with primes, but I didn't have a very good professor.
And History of Math helps with a lot of things, I found.
We've got a good thunderstorm going, power threatening to go out, and I am alone in the office. Good thing the computer is on an UPS.
