0(this is retarded) 1 dx

It is currently 17:42, and I am in the basement of the library. I have a test that I was going to take Friday.. er... Saturday... uh.. today... I guess tomorrow. I am sincerely dead. Let me tell you about the grand lewdities that are encompassed in my math test here.

1. Line Integrals.

  • W=∫F·dr= ∫F(r(t))·r'(t)
  • If F is a force field, this integral represents work performed in traversing the curve.
  • Parametrization for r when broken up amongst multiple curves is given through (1-t)r0+(t)r1
2. Other coordinate systems
  • Cylindrical Coordinates: x=r·cosθ y=r·sinθ x2+y2=r2 and dV=drdθdz
  • Spherical Coordinates: x=(ρ)cos(θ)sin(φ) y=(ρ)sin(θ)sin(φ) z=(ρ)cos(φ) and dV=dρdφdθ
3. Divergence, Gradient, Curl
  • Divergence div(F)=∂M/∂x + ∂N/∂y +∂R/∂z = ∇·F
  • Curl curl(F)=(∂R/∂y-∂N/∂z)i-(∂R/∂x-∂M/∂z)j+(∂N/∂x-∂M/∂y)k = ∇ x F
4. Green's Theorem
  • ∫F·dr=∫∫R(∂N/∂x-∂M/∂y)dA
  • Area of R=1/2 ∫(-y)dx+x dy
5. Surface Integrals
  • ∫∫R(1+(fx)2+(fy)2)1/2 dA=surface area of.. well... a surface
  • ∫∫R(φ(x,y,f(x,y))(1+(fx)2+(fy)2)1/2 dA=integration of a function over a given surface
6. Stokes's Theorem
  • ∫F·dr=∫∫Scurl(F)·n dS
  • I sincerely have no idea what this is used for...
7. The Divergence Theorem
  • ∫∫SF·n dS=∫∫∫Udiv(F)dV
  • Again, not a clue.
Let it be noted that there were supposed to be a few"C" subscripts after various integral signs, and also that some of the integral signs are supposed to have little circles in them, but 1. I was too lazy to go back and insert the subscripts after I figured out how to make them and 2. I didn't know how to make the fancier integral sign.

I am going to try to study some more now.

Have no fear of perfection, you'll never reach it.

The title of the day is from Salvador Dali. I think that he was quite mistaken. I am going to show you why:
If you can't notice why, I got a smoking 100 on this nasty. Go ahead. Click on it. Zoom in. Scrutinize her. If you look close enough, it looks like I actually got a 41 on the second problem.

Here is a bit more of the glorious day for you. I met up with Stennett after my classes, and we made a diligent effort to do our homework and study. Instead, we ended up sending a hackysack down the large spiral staircase in the JFSB. It was great. We also went back to his apartment to make some food. Here is another picture for you to see what we did.Yes, the burner is on. Yes, we cooked the chili (con carne with beans/with meat con frijoles). Yes, we ate pancakes with it. Yes, we are enlightened.

Then, I went to work. It was a busy, busy day. Wait, nope. Here is a picture of Dwill and I working.This photo's caption is "Dave is his own loan-shark." He just finished telling me how he had to pull money from one bank account to pay for fun things, and now he has to pay it back. He even gave himself a good interest rate. And now he just told me that he glued a wheat thin together with cheese.

3,2,1 and I'm having fun.

It's late. I know. Shut up. What more, I am too lazy to find my glasses, so I have to be about a foot away from the screen to see what I am typing. If I wanted to, I could go into a long dissertation about what is wrong with my eyes (thank you stupid physics class), and you know what, I don't want to. It has something to do with my 'farpoint' which you don't need to know if you are building rockets.

Work today wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was expecting it to be a mad house, but really, not too bad. Carrie (our second-cousin-once-removed-divided-by-e-raised-to-the-x-over-the-integral-of-thirty-times-sine-squared-x-dx-from-zero-to-pi-fourths [that integral should look fairly familiar to somebody who recently used it to express his mood]) (actually, she is only our second cousin according to wikipedia right here) ummm... is cool? I kinda forgot where I was going with that. Oh, and she is getting married next June or July. Cindy, don't say anything. Dwill and I aren't sure yet. There is a calorically suicidal cheese on a stick which is bet on it. I am pretty sure I am going to lose.

Here are the important events of what happened today:
1. I bought a camera. It was marked for $400 off. It was awesome.
2. I visited Derek. He had great stories. He wrote a poem about chocolate milk. It was awesome.
3. I talking with Gabi for the entire drive home from Salt Lake. It was mostly a BS session. It was awesome.
4. Dwill and I each got 100 oz of Mountain Dew and watched Monk. Again, it was awesome.
Oddly enough, the most disappointing thing about the day was a Monk episode where they talked about changing the theme music back (long story) but then they didn't. Not awesome.

Oh, and we have gone international. Buenos Dias Nina. And I am sincerely sorry to the poor man in England who stumbled onto this site by accident. He opened two pages, but only stayed on for 19 seconds.

I found my glasses so that I could sit up and type. Take that world.


Bombachus

  • A la Dave. This made me laugh really, really hard. I was full of Mountain Dew at the time. Not a good combo. Still, really, really funny.
  • Wanna see something weird? Sorry for wasting your time if you clicked on the Wikipedia link and now are seeing all you cared to find out about. Anyway, I know somebody who is their own second cousin once removed. I was going to draft you proof, but anybody who knows what I am talking about can do it on their own. If you notice, there are two slots for "second cousin once removed." One in the right-most column, and one in the adjacent column. If you try it out, it works both ways. One if you start through the father and one if you start through the mother. It is truly amazing... and weird.
  • Por Dave. Uh, nope. Changed my mind. Now you'll have to wait to see what it is.

a+bt+c(t^2)/2

I have only been at work for an hour, and I am already bored to tears. I've already finished a math assignment that isn't due for another week, so, there you have it. I am kinda abhorring school this week because it seems like it is fake, by which I mean half of my classes are canceled and the other half make it seem like they just aren't trying. There was a disclaimer on my physics class for tomorrow of "YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW THIS!!!!" So that really, really makes me want to go.

I promised Nina that I would make a few dedications to her on here. The first one come by way of Gabi. The only reason that she gets this is because (like the cheese) she is Austrian. Here is another one that comes, well, by way of Nina. You are going to have to click on this link for the movie. It is pretty funny... especially if you understand German... like me. Hast du eine ente?

Why is my text getting underlined? There it goes; it's fixed. Sometimes a person gets irritated to the point where they just have to go into HTML and see what the crap is going on...

Bombachus

  • Again, the math (by me) was done on this to verify the accuracy of the math (done by them who made it). I am guessing that all air resistance was neglected, and if so, it would have actually made the initial contact with the ground at 1114 feet, 6 inches, and 12/25ths of an inch if you take gravity to be -32.2 ft/s^2. And for the record, I think Newton would have calculated it in the metric system.
  • Here is something else that made me laugh.
  • And for the record Newton>Einstein.
  • Also, da Vinci>Einstein
  • Newton+da Vinici>>Einstein
  • The three previous bullets may have something to do with the fact that we are working relativity in physics right now. It isn't the most fun.

Begin at the beginning, and go on till you come to the end: then stop

Today's title is courtesy of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, which is one messed-up book.

Here is the epic tale of my day:
I was up last night until about 2:30ish (to be entirely honest, I have no idea what time it actually was when I went to sleep) studying for a math test that I had today. [Note: Math 302 is the most poorly designed class at BYU] I got up at 6:30 (I know that is sleeping-in to some of you) and went to class. I fell asleep in my first class... and my second class. I then decided that it was time for a little "pick-me-up" and managed to scrounge up 400 mg of caffeine to wake up. It sure did the trick. I thought about taking another 600 (for two reasons; One: so that I would be super, super alert for the test, and Two: just so that I could use the word "Centigram" properly in a sentence) but I never did. That was probably for the best because I got really wired after 400mg and thought of the following jokes. Okay, I only thought of one of them. The other I thought of a while ago and it got revamped for the situation.
1: Yo mamma's so fat I feel like every time I see her I should introduce myself as a Jedi Knight and a friend to Captain Solo.
2: Yo mamma's so fat that when the guys from CERN saw her belt, they asked for the Large Hadron Collider back.
If you are fuzzy on why either of those are humorous, you are much less of a nerd than I. Also, when Derek read the second one, he greatly, greatly misread it.
Anywho, I took the test. It lasted a record breaking 3.5 hours. No, this is a record for speed. It is the shortest that a Math 302 test has ever taken. It still sucked.
Now I am home and I am blessed witht the chance to study for a Physics test that I have on Thursday. I know, it is pretty gay.

Bombachus

  • This made me laugh really, really hard. (Click the link, not the picture below)
  • And then I had to do the actual math on this to make sure that they did it right. They did... but they rounded. I would have kept more decimal places.

Can You Smell What Barack Is Cookin?

Okay, I wasn't planning on doing a new post today, but I was just reading the Washington Post, and I thought that this needed to be addressed as soon as possible. As most of you (at least two out of the three who read this) know, I make no severe attempt at sounding politically savvy. However, I feel that this really needs to be noted. Here is an excerpt from the article quoting our President-elect.

In the news conference, Obama repeatedly stressed the need for a new economic stimulus plan to "jump-start economic growth." He added, "The one thing I can say with certainty is that we are going to need to see a stimulus package passed either before or after inauguration."

There you have it you unbelievers! Obama is a true realmist! What does "realmist" mean? Well, it is a word that I just made up to express the fact that Obama is resolute about passing the stimulus package within our framework of what we call "time." He isn't going to work on some metaphysical level in a realm that we don't understand when he is addressing issues. Here is a picture of the timeline that represents when President-elect Obama will pass the stimulus package.
Hopefully that is visible to everybody who wishes to know exactly when this is going to happen.

Anyone can see my every flaw. It isn't hard

Today's title comes from Jimmy Eat World. If you want to know about flaws, just keep reading and find out about my religion class...

It feels like it has been eons since I have updated anything on here. Sorry to all few of you who actually check this. There really hasn't been anything interesting going on lately. Just school, and that isn't anything new. Lots of tests. Speaking of tests, here is something that just kills me. I have two civil engineering classes, a 300 level math course, physics for engineers, and Book of Mormon. Guess which class I get the worst scores in? Well, if you said physics, you would be right, but my religion class is right behind it. You would think that the fact that I have spent more time reading the Book of Mormon than all of my other textbooks combined would facilitate a higher score in the class. In my civil engineering classes, I have gotten 94's, 98, and 99 (I labeled the x-axis as the x-direction [I know, its dumb to not get 100 for something like that, but it is actually understandable]) on all of the tests that I have had so far. You don't really want to know how religion is turning out.

Right now in mutlivariable calc, we have the glorious opportunity to be working on "Legrange Mulipliers." My favorite part was the fact that there was an asterisk at the beginning of the section. You know, when you see one of those, you have to look down at the bottom of the page to find out what is unique about it. Here, I will let you experience what I thoroughly enjoyed.
13.9 Legrange Multipliers*


I saw this at FYE and I think that a few people might enjoy it. I will give you captions of my thought process.
"Huh... Thats a big gap... I wonder what is supposed to go there... Whats up there before the gap?"
"Duckman? The crap?... Okay, well... whats at the end?"
"Okay, Dukes of Hazard..."

Conclusion: People have been buying a crapload of Ducktales on DVD recently.

Oh yeah, Brain Candy: The Count of Monte Cristo. I've never seen the movie, but the book is pretty good. Kinda slow at points, but I am only a tenth of the way through it. Meaning I am around 210 of 2100 digital pages. I should be on this one for a while. Not like the previous books which have taken me no longer than a week or so.

Okay, well, I have another test in my Mechanics of Materials (Ce En 203) on Friday, and I think I am going to go study for that a bit. Yes, I do actually try to study before I reach the evening preceeding the test.

Oh, and Obama won tonight. Just like the Phillies. I am always going use baseball to predict elections from now on.

I ate some bugs, I ate some grass...

So it has been many moons since I updated this. Sorry. It's not like there is ever anything interesting here anyway. Here is the lowdown of my mental process last night as I studied for my dynamics test.

Okay, I’ve really got to do this, or else I will fail, like I almost did on my physics test the other day. Huh… I wonder if the grades have been updated online for that since I took that test Nope, not yet, but it at least it still shows that I’m still in a high percentile in the class. I wonder what my current percentage is against all the possible points that I could have so far… Eww… I wonder what would have to happen in the remainder of the semester for me to still get an A in the class… Eww… okay, how about a B… Okay, okay, I’ve really got to study for this dynamics test. Okay, First ting I have to do in a work-energy problem is define positions and a gravity datum. Okay, that pretty easy. Second, I need to set up my T1+V1+U1-2NC=T2+V2. That’s simple enough, but which ones can I get rid of right off the bat? Oh my crap, I've got the best story ever. I’ve got to tell Derek about this Okay, I need to study for this test… but I need a drink first Um… ice. Okay, now I am going to go study for this test. So the T’s are kinetic energy and the V’s are potential energy, that’s simple enough. Set both T’s to mv^2 /2 and hope that one of them isn’t moving at the time so you don’t have to deal with two unknown velocities. V’s are k (delta)^2 /2 + mgh where delta is the additional length in the spring. I’m kinda hungry now too. Let me see what I can find here… Hey, little nacho cheesy things. Hey, you know what I should do tonight? I should watch Nacho Libre. That is probably one of the best movies ever. “Chancho, when you are a man.. sometimes you wear stretchy pants in your room… it’s for fun.” No, no, I should really study for this test…
Okay, now I’m screwed.

I just remembered that I can't use the little <> thingies when I am switching from HTML editing and normal. They disappear! Well, kinda...

I took the dynamics test today. It wasn't that bad. Quite unlike my physics test.

I'm gonna find something interesting to do.

2. "Daffodil"

It has been a while since anything has been posted. Here is what's up...

No tests this week.

That is about it. I am going to try to spend a good portion of this week studying for the tests which are coming next week. Fun stuff.

This rarely gets implemented in the blog, but here is the week's Brain Candy- Ender's Shadow. I only started reading it on Sunday after conference, cause I was sick and really didn't have much to do, then I read it yesterday between classes. I am liking it so far. It is interesting the contrast between this and Ender's Game. Probably even more contrast to Bender's Game.

Do-de-do-do-do-do-do Vote for me.

Ok, so it has been a day. That is about all I can say for what has happened. Everybody in my mechanics class was complaining about how hard the test was and about how they were crushed under the time limit (2 hours and 15 minutes) and so I am more worried about having done it wrong now. If everybody else is crapping chickens over it, I think I have reason to be worried.

In my dynamics class, my teacher just told us stories all day about how he made 8 satellites and accidentally blew them all up on the launch pad. It was awesome. Math was just a dumb presentation about rocks. I used the time that was presented to me to try to study a bit for the math test. It is useless. I am dead.

Here is the final revised analogy for mathematical proofs. It is like reading the Lord of the Rings books (all of them) after having watched the movies. You know what is going to happen in the end, but for some forsaken reason, you have to go through the arduous process of finding out all of the lewd details about how it happened anyway. Then you are often required to site all of those details, and sometimes explain how to get back as well. Poor....

I just bought 20 liters of soda.

Is it better to be feared or respected? I say, is it too much to ask for both?

As I have explained to various others, today was filled with mixed emotions and lots of events. The job fair was today, and it was quite fun. To be honest, I was kinda nervous going in, but it was pretty easy, and I thought I did fairly well. I got to talk to the guys at Stark.. er... um.. Lockheed Martin, and I even got a little flash to usb drive with the Stark, no, Lockheed Martin logo on it. Hooray for swag.

I also had the opportunity to take a test today. I was unreasonably nervous for it. Well, who knows? I haven't gotten my grade back, since it was all handwritten. Usually the tests for my civil engineering classes take me about 2 hours to complete, but this one took me about 30 minutes. I know, it is unreal, so I took some time to look it over and make sure that I wasn't just fooling myself, and that I actually did it right. After about 10 minutes, I could see neither of the following: 1. anything wrong with my work and 2. any other way to do it. I guess we will see

Here is a picture that a few people might enjoy.

Dodge This...

Its Sunday afternoon, and I am procrastinating doing my homework due to an asinine assignment that I had yesterday. It was one math assignment, and it took me around 5 hours to complete. The most useful thing that anybody can take away from what I was working on is that the plural of "matrix" is not "matrixes." That is pretty much the most applicable thing to real life. Let me tell you some thoughts which have coursed through my head somewhat frequently in the last year or so...

"Hey, this is kinda interesting... maybe I should become a math major..."
"That's stupid, why would you do that?"
"I don't know. It is interesting and I am kinda good at it."
"But what about application?"
"Well, yeah, there's always that."
"I mean, math is great when you couple it with physics, but what is math alone? It's theory."
"Yeah..."
"So, what do you say?"
"... I guess I'm gonna stay in engineering..."
"That's right. Now go get me a taco."
"Wait, you're just my brain talking back to me. Why would I get you a taco?
"Just do it."
"Yes sir."
And that is how it goes.

Strain: Dimensionless

So here is the great story of the day. I have this professor {Dr. Christiansen [I call him Hank (but not to his face)]} who is a total pimp. He teaches all of my civil engineering classes. I had him at the end of last semester for Ce En 103, and now I have him for both Ce En 203 and 204. Anyway, one of the best parts of what he does is how he responds to stupid questions. Today, we were talking about stress and strain on materials. And this is about how the conversation went...

"So, as you can see, you divide your units, and since it is unit length per unit length, strain is dimensionless." -Hank

"Wait, Dr. C, so do you want us to write our strain in, like, inches per inches?" -Dumb student

"Uh... no... I just barely told you it was dimensionless...."

Most people aren't going to appreciate that for what it is, but a few of you out there will love the hilarity of that.

I came home with the full intention of doing my homework early and having a relaxing night, but I fell asleep for 3 hours. Now it is about 9:30, and I am still facing a butt-load of homework. Lewd.

Poopsmith

I was blessed with the opportunity to run into Amy today on campus. This is the same Amy who Dear John-ed me a month before I came home. This is the first time I have seen her face to face, and to be quite honest, it wasn't all that bad. It was surprisingly not awkward. Now, the glory of this event pales in comparison to the math test I had today. I got an 80% on it, and I will admit that it was only by the Hand of God that I even achieved that. I guess I get to stay in the class. I hope that none of my other classes have any gay pretests like that.

This is for Dave, then I am back to homework.
Homework is a lot like shoveling crap: it never seems to end.

You m-m-m-mmm-m-make me happy.

It has been an exceptionally long day. I only had one class, but there was more than enough work to go around. My math assignment took me 2 hours 18 minutes and 51 seconds. Yes, I took my time, but then I had to study for this frakking test that I don't know when I am going to take. It has inevitably been narrowed down to Saturday or Monday. I'm not ready for it, and I don't want to pay for a retake.

There was something particularly enjoyable about my day though. I got to see a kid wearing overalls. No, it wasn't some youngster being led around by his college-age mommy. It was a student in my math class. Here are some rules about wearing overalls:

  • One may wear overalls only if he/she meets the following criteria:
  1. Said individual is under the age of 5
  2. Said individual is a farmer of some kind
  3. Said individual uses them for utility purposes
  4. Said individual has gone "full retard" like unto...
Now, I don't know if you read what it says under the title, but the tagline is "Once upon a time... there was a retard." There may be other reasons a person might wear overalls. None of them are good though...

It is only 9:30, and I think I am off to bed. Lame, I know.

The Soviet Union will be pleased to offer amnesty to your wayward vessel.

It was the first day of class for BYU. For me, it wasn't really all that bad. I only have one class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I got eased into it. I was trying to keep all of my classes on only Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but unfortunately my math is taught every day, so there was no way around that. I guess that math must be important or something.

Today we put primer on the walls of the room. We also painted. I am getting progressively more excited for it to get done as the end gets nearer. x^2 excited. The more it looks like a room, the more excited to get out from underneath the stairs. That's right, I live under the stairs. Stennett likened it to Harry Potter, except I have a window. Kinda. It is covered by a gigantic whiteboard. So its more like a shelf.

If f is continuous on [a,b] and f' exists on (a,b), then there exists a point c on (a,b) such that f'(c) (b-a)= (f(b)-f(a))

Oh, you haven't heard? They've removed all numbers from math...

It seems like no matter how many times I tell blogger to remember me, it can't. This is particularly frustrating because I have an eleven character password with all of the bells and whistles which make it a pain to input each time.

Last night I saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It actually wasn't all that good. Everybody had a part that pissed them off the most. Derek's was when they went off successive waterfalls without any casualties. Mine was when Shea... Shia... LeBoo... that kid from Holes took advice from monkeys and uses vines for transportation. And then I hated magnetic gold. It seems as though Georgey-boy Lucas feels that he is entitled to poo on the childhood dreams and fantasies of multiple generations when he takes heinous liberties with the new generation of bastardic movies he has created. I wanted to graph the quality of Lucas's success, but I realized two things: 1, its too hard for no real pay off and 2, Giving Attack of the Clones any rating for quality is like trying to divide by zero. Just imagine a graph that is reasonably high until after 1989, then does an abrupt nose dive.

I'm still trying to burn through a crash-course in calculus (who is a she-devil) so that I can pass this retarded test next week. With each passing day, I am less and less excited for school to start.

Even a Monkey Can Remember 10 Numbers...

Well, I've been meaning to start up a new blog for quite some time, and as I procrastinate studying for a math test, I have finally gotten around to it. Now some of you might be saying "new blog? I didn't know there was an old blog..." Yes, there was an old blog, but it was full of rantings and used more for communication than blogging anything worth reading. This one is going to be more public.

The original URL for this was going to be 2.71, but blogger told me that I could use periods in the URL, so I had to spell it out. I also decided to up it to 2.718 because I want it accurate and I am not a fan of rounding up. Hopefully those of you interested in checking this often can remember the 4 digits it requires to get here. That, or bookmark it.

Those of you who weren't concerned with the new blog thing are probably asking yourself a different question: "Why are you studying for a math test? School hasn't even started for you yet..." Allow me to answer this with a story. Last year, I was about the only guy in my apartment who had homework on the first day of school. No, I wasn't bitter at all. I was just a little surprised that professors thought it was appropriate to give homework on the first day. It was quite a bit too. Well, this year, they have decided to give a midterm the first week of school. They aren't calling it a midterm, but oh, thats what it is. It is for my engineering math class. They want to make sure that no imbeciles are taking it for fun or anything like that. It is a pretest to ensure that you have kept up on your calculus through the summer. It is also worth the same value as one of your midterms. So... its a midterm the first week of class. I'm going to call it a 'start.'

There are going to be a few things from the old blog that will carry over to this one. One of them is the segment Brain Candy which is a play off of Derek's Ear Candy but instead of what I am listening to, it is going to be my current literary consumption. This week it is,

Calculus, 5th Edition by James Stewart

I'll bet you can guess why...

Bombachus

  • Hey, blogger has bullet points.
  • Never go full retard. I know that this is about a protest, but ignore the whole protest part and just listen to what Black Iron Man says.
  • XKCD
    • It doesn't have to be a tree house. I choose secret passage ways through my future house. Either that... or a tree house.
Well, I'm back to math.

Okay, I was until Derek came over. We ended up playing Texas Hold'em and BS-ing. No, we had no deck of cards. We both downloaded the app on our iPhone/fake iPhone and played over the wireless network. It was fun. Much was discussed, but none of it was blog worthy. Now I think I am going to return to math, but I will probably find something more interesting, and then promptly go to bed.
