The first derivative of promiscuous sex is STD’s. The second derivative is HIV. The third derivative is AIDS and the fourth is death.
Enjoyed the intro on Calculus. I passed Intro to Calculus with a B but studied my a** off.
I burned my calculus book the second I knew that I got a C!
From Calculus I through post-diff eq Probability, my math grades were a monotonically decreasing function of time.
I didn’t take calculus. I know my limitations. :)
I HATED math.
Gotta love that abstinence line!
At a guess, you tolerated number crunching but couldn't stand word problems?I think that's the way most people - including most teachers are about Arithmetic. I was just the other way around - I barely tolerated the number crunching but I enjoyed the word problems. So I didn't do that great in elementary school Arithmetic - but ended up getting an engineering degree.
Actually, I kind of liked the word problems, I just didn’t like going through the effort of showing the work. Geometry really annoyed me, I kept telling the teacher that most of the proofs were easily solved with a ruler
Well, if we could square the circle, we’d all be engineers.
I’m a project manager for a large commercial construction company; if an architect or engineer designs something with three sides and calls it a circle, I make sure it gets built and if it doesn’t work out I put the blame back on them. :-)
Lovely article.
Got an A in Calculus I (differential calculus) in my first freshman semester.
Got an A in Calculus II (integral calculus) in my second freshman semester.
Hopefully I’ll get an A in MA 434 - Linear Algebra - in my first sophomore semester.
Next up is Calculus III (vector calculus) in my second sophomore semester.
If you couldn’t tell by now, I’m a Math major. If you know anyone with problems, direct them to me. ;P
Clearly, the woman just needs to increase her standards as to who is “spongeworthy”....
“This assault will not be neutralized until a brigade of those who know better find their voices to convince today’s Sex-in-the-City generation of misguided young women that it is discipline – it is having an attitude that says, “I won’t mess up my tomorrows by fooling around today” – that opens the gateway to achieving their dreams and ambitions, whether you’re talking Calculus or sex.”
Thank you.
