Because books.

Thanks, Sean!

I keep running into "Of course, we all remember how to do the blah blah..."

See, that's so not me. I barely scraped through high school math and never even took calculus, and in college I managed to take some History of Math course with an insane old guy who wore a beret and made us read Flatland and the annotated Alice in Wonderland. And I still use my fingers when doing basic sums half the time. I applaud all you mathy types because your brains are so sexy. I have a mad crush on Charlie from Numb3rs.

Pop-Tarts:

And I've always liked Dean from Gilmore Girls. Who is not Dean on this show.

That made me blink a few times, too.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's true, my sex organ weighs 8 pounds and you can't fit your hand around it.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

The imaginary part (the -4, i.e. the coefficient of i) appears on the y axis, so you're lower rather than upper.

Of course! Of course you are! What the fuck is wrong with me? No, I'm serious. For some reason I was putting it upper left, which is entirely the freaking opposite of what I want!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

And what did you think constitutes my target audience?

hottie actuaries?

Yes, but it's all floppy and wiggly and where's the fun in that?

No, no, the axes are... not quite arbitrary, but it feels that way when learning which way around they go. It's easy to transpose them.

Oh Trudy. Don't make me bring my medulla oblongata over there.

It was a number slut.

I, alas, am all too chaste as of late.
