Scanned the technical paper and downloaded it. Looks like a good read for later.

F=MA or Force = Mass x Acceleration. Newton was one really smart human.

Here’s a math problem I’ve been working on, just for fun. Take a shot at solving it, if you care to.

A lady (let’s call her Hillary) has been taking X number of bribes for Y number of years. She has been indicted for Z felonies.

Given that:

X > 0
Y > 0
Z = 0

Prove that Hillary is a Democrat.

Newton was awesome. He had to invent calculus in order to solve the equations for gravity (and other things)

Not to worry. Me and calculus never got to first base.

if X, Y, and Z are all positive and jail time = 0 then probability of being democrat approaches 100%

Well, I disagree. In every one of the great disasters of history, mathematics has played a role. Don’t even get me started on the laws of physics. Newton has blood on his hands, I tellya.

I personally cannot do math, but I do appreciate those who can do math and enjoy it. I honestly wish I had *some* mathematical talent, but alas, my talents run in other directions.

The secret to math is proper dimensional analysis, i.e. having the units agree, and understanding concepts not memorizing.

He was the greatest physicist of all time. He invented modern physics.

Yes! Pick me up @ 6:30...then a martini! (Conservative, really smart and available... can it get any better?!)

That’s my problem. I am good at analyzing the written word, memorizing obscure facts, dates, and quotes, understanding and learning other languages, as well as many other things. Math is not interesting to me and the concepts bore me to death. My sister, on the other hand, is great with math—both basic and advanced. Just how the hand was dealt, I guess. :)
