Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I shall be quite disappointed if ita's African trip doesn't include running down and killing a cheetah barehanded. I mean, they're lying around on the ground in the open there, it's the perfect opportunity.
(Hmmm, you wouldn't know that I just recently came home from a rigourous yet spiritual yoga class, would you?)
Am I really that much of an idiot, that it didn't ring any bells earlier that 3-4i = 5(-0.6+0.8i) didn't seem a little odd just on the face of it? Yes. Yes, I am. ARGH!
Math geeks are hot. Even I don't understand a word they say.
It's just that 5*0.6=3 and 5*0.8 = 4, so I'd basically written 3-4i = -3+4i and it hadn't occurred to me. Mind you, the idea that I'd gone through that whole find-the-theta-by-inverse-tangent thing when all I had to do was divide by 5 makes me kind of irked. But I suppose he probably wants the e^i theta form as well, so I guess it was worth it.
If anyone's following the saga, this means I got 3-4i = 5(0.6-0.8i) or 5e^(306.87i)
That looks right, Emily.
I suppose the bit where the endpoints are equal to each other arithmetically serves as a good check, huh? I just... didn't realize. I guess I still think of trigonometry as this sort of arcane "other" thing and don't think about it coming back around to give me the normal numerical values. Thank you!
OMG Emily, I can't believe you didn't get that immediately.
...um, just kidding.
So I heard the other day that Jon Stewart is apparently by my school all the time, likely bringing his dog to the doggy day care place next door to the building with the computer lab I never go to. I'm thinking I should re-jigger my routine.
So, I just finished watching episodes 4x01 and 4x02 of Spooks and GAH. This show rocks my world. Also, more Buffistas should be watching it because it's hella smart, stylish, with compelling characters and moral ambiguity up the wazoo.
Also, the lead agent is ungodly hot and there was shirtlessness in the first episode. What more do you need?
A link?
Right.
