If one were to join the dots when geometric progression function is graphed, the resulting image would be an accurate representation of my sexuality.

I'm sorry. I'm bored.

I'm sorry. I'm bored.

You needed to graph that to know it was a straight line?

*shakes head

such a pity 4 alfalfa...personally im not sure why he wants a maths dude neway...each 2 his own i guess

 

[nick1048]

She didn't graph it just compare her "quote" and what he said.

 

[JamiL]

algebra came from arabic anyway, so thats why it fits.

But an amusing article.

all the counting numbers come from arabic

He changed it from arithmetic to geometric progression, essentially stating I am gay.

 

[silvermoon]

of course, he could have just come out and said that in plain english...'I think ur gay' and ditched da maths terms altogether!

 

[charmed_cuties]

wat a funny touch to the maths forum!

 

[Slidey]

But I'm not gay...

 

[jhakka]

You're as straight as a circle.

What is a slide rule?

 

[Slidey]

Non-electrical calculator. Used till the mid 1970's to do pretty much all maths calculations.

"A device consisting of two logarithmically scaled rules mounted to slide along each other so that multiplication, division, and other more complex computations are reduced to the mechanical equivalent of addition or subtraction."

::awed voice:: people used to manage without calculators?? how! why! yes, good god why?!?

 

[Slidey]

Yes. It can do logs, log-logs, anti-logs, square roots, cube roots, hyperbolic functions, trigonometric functions, other obscure functions I forget the names of, and normal arithmetic.

Where did you get it from?
