Yeah, I had no idea where I was going with this one, so it just turned out to be… not very interesting. The idea seemed a lot more interesting in class, I guess. Oh well. It’s just another one of those “applying math concepts to real life situations” things, like this or possibly this (but not really). Anyway, that was the exact “real-life” problem we went over in class today.

Well, I sorta had a lot of homework so this one wasn’t really thought through so well. The frame with the window was actually something from some assignment I just did this weekend, where we had to write about a childhood monster and make a visual.
