Math??

Sure, if we have a literature forum, then why not have a math forum as well?

Dr. Geekstar 2004-11-10 04:41 PM

lie down for a few minutes, it will pass over.

Demosthenes 2004-11-10 05:15 PM

See no reason against it. I voted yes.

HandOfHeaven 2004-11-10 05:37 PM

Sounds good. I seem to enjoy math as well, aside from solving augmented matrices. Not too hard, but just takes too much time and paper. (Takes twice the time on the calculator unless teacher hasn't told me a formula)

Solving matrices on calculator is easy if you're using a TI-8x. Of course I'm not 100% positive we're both talking about the same thing, but at least I think we are.

Mantralord 2004-11-10 07:45 PM

I vote yes, but if Shinto gets his own forum, maybe we should have a "Gay Forum", for our gay members...me!

Solving matrices is pretty easy, but augmented matrices. i.e
[1 2 3:4]
[3 4 5:6]
[1 0 4:7]
You have to get it to look like the identity matrix
[1 0 0: x]
[0 1 0:y]
[0 0 1:z]
by doing certain operations, and I don't think you can do it on a calculator in less than a minute.

That should be pretty simple on a TI-83.

OMG! A GAY FORUM! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Math forum sounds good, too.

Titusfied 2004-11-10 11:11 PM

Eh, I voted no, but I don't really care. All I do is math shit in school, so I'm not particularly fond of the idea of doing and looking at it on my free time as well..

Thanatos 2004-11-11 04:27 PM

I also voted no. I just don't see any activity in a math forum..

I voted yes, I'll probably be needing some help in calc this year, and sometimes when I'm sitting in class I discover things mathematical. like
333x333=110889
110+889=999
666x666=443556
443+556=999
999x999=998001
998+001=999
Code:

x=6*6*6
X=216                  2+1+6=9
X+X=432                4+3+2=9
X+X+X=648              6+4+8=18
X+X+X+X=864            8+6+4=18
X+X+X+X+X=1080          1+0+8+0=9
X+X+X+X+X+X=1296        1+2+9+6=18
X+X+X+X+X+X+X=1512      1+5+1+2=9
X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X=1728    1+7+2+8=18
X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X=1944  1+9+4+4=18

etc. I can't seem to figure out the pattern with the 9s and the 18s but I haven't looked too deep into it.

9 is an amazing number and I am an amazing nerd.

!King_Amazon! 2004-11-11 07:31 PM

I might start a thread trying to find the pattern. Math has always been my best subject :).

WetWired 2004-11-12 07:07 AM

It's a well known fact that for any multiple of 3, if you add the digits together, you will get another number which is a multiple of 3. A lesser known fact is that the same is true for 9.

MightyJoe 2004-11-12 07:41 AM

As much as I hate math due to my current and previous teacher I don't see why we couldn't give this a shot.

Titusfied 2004-11-12 08:42 AM

Exactly, that is how you are supposed to do a quick check to see if a number is divisible by 3.

Medieval Bob 2004-11-12 11:05 AM

I found a pattern in the relation of the bases and operands for logarithmic functions during a physics lecture. I lost the piece of paper that I did it on, though.

In phyics my Jr. year of HS, I came up with two theorums that I was really proud of. I used two chalkboards writing out something that showed that the decimals of... the roots of something I think... (it was a long fking time ago) repeated in descending order every other result.

It was something like this:

1.36781239987
2.12553136421
4.72367812364
6.42125531312
9.14723678123

But a lot longer, and I don't really remember what the point was.

The other had something to do with the number of verticies of a figure based on its dimensions (not length... think 2-d, 3-d, etc).

Unfortunately, both were shown to me as being already-discovered theorums shortly thereafter. The first one was in an abstract algebra book, though. Look at me. I "formulated" an abstract algebra theorum in 11th grade. *flexes brain*

Hot damn! I was just phoneticizing it.

Yes, I think Math is way better than literature.

Penis pic boy!
