TMIF?

I appeared to have signed myself up for Applied Calculus, rather than the painless Math For Poets class I was aiming at. The sane person, knowing she damn near failed every math class she ever took and only passed Physics by copying all the equations from the hapless Jason Fong every day at lunch, would take this opportunity to drop the class. Me? I bought the book.

There's a blank white card in there somewhere, and I think it goes like this:

MATH FOR POETS IS FULL.
THE GEEKS IN APPLIED CALCULUS EAT YOUR LIVING BRAIN.
MINUS 60 POINTS FROM YOUR G.P.A. AND 60 DOLLARS FROM YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.
SUCKA.

I think the book alone is sixty bucks. But I could be wrong.

Applied Calculus? Calculus applies to nothing. I'm with Michele, drop the class.

You can do it. Take the class.

michele - my gruntlement turned more to the dis side, so rapidly that the post was outdated before people saw it.

sean - you WOULD say that, mr. math genius man guy thing.

Posted by: didofoot at August 19, 2002 02:53 PM

sean: didn't you take calculus junior year of high school or something? maybe you should just do all kristen's homework for her.

kristen: say what now?

I love you Kristen, oh yes I do......

I love you Kristen and I'll be true.......

When you're not near me, I'm blue.........

Oh Kristen I love you!!!!!

I should have expected that.

I personally thought calculus was a lot more interesting and understandable than math classes that I had taken before. If nothing else, you can understand Physics a lot better. College Park's incredible shrinking mini-fingered Mr. Carter doesn't know any calculus, which is why our high school class was such bullshit.

Plus, Gene is always right. He's from Europe, after all.
