Math problems

If you’ve read a math textbook, you probably know what they’re talking about here. Stuff like “Bob throws a coin off a bridge and notices that the coin’s path is a parabolic shape similar to that of the equation y = x² + 2x +4” just make me go “who really does that in real life?” It just seems silly that a person would be able to come up with an equation for something as obscure as the number of squirrels seen within the course of a week.

Placement exams (And 4komas)

Hooray! Well, we took a placement exam today, to decide who gets into which class (there are three different Calculus classes, regular, AP Calculus AB, and AP Calculus BC; regular is… well, regular, and BC is apparently some really crazy stuff). I didn’t really study, but I guess that’s fine. I understood a lot of the stuff on the exam anyway.

In other news, here are two 4komas from ChiisaiRamen! Yeah!

And in other other news, I made a new character on Mabinogi, because Kirbster had messed up AP distribution. The new character is Walfas, so if Kirbster was on your old list, you can go ahead and delete it, because I don’t think I’ll be using it much anymore.

And now for a serious announcement. Trigonometry took our logs away, and it must be stopped. I really don’t like trigonometry. It’s not awesome.

I don’t think there was a puzzle like that in the actual thing. I realized that the flash wasn’t really that funny when I was halfway done making it, but I had come too far to just not finish it. So now, you get to watch a flash about unnecessary mathematical calculations. But anyway, there was a similar question on today’s math quiz, and I decided to use math instead of logic (because you know… it’s a math class), which ended up being a bad idea, because it wasted like five minutes. What’s funny is that the question on the quiz was about tribbles being brought into the school and multiplying until they filled the maximum capacity of the school in an hour and two minutes.

I was taking a math test on Friday and my calculator died! Luckily, I had already finished all of the questions that required the use of a calculator. Even so, it was not awesome. I got new batteries today!
