Cause he stole the stars and put them in your eyes!
this pickup line decreases in effectiveness at an exponential rate of decay related to the number of times used on the same person. BUT it works! ...at least on Kaitie...who knows I'm just trying to make her laugh...and who has a terrific sense of humor...and a laugh almost as loud as mine..though she can't do it in her sleep...(that's what she said!)
"Is the limit to math finite? "
-Rafi
consider...from our earliest years we attend school and learn addition, then multiplication, throw in letters and you've got algebra, throw in Mr. Laferriere ( Woot!) and you have the most amazing year of calculus anyones ever experienced, then there's calc 3 with a professor that may or may not have had too much vodka that morning...i sympathize, i choose coffee but an addiction's an addiction... life continues and most of your friends are done with math but you've still got diff EQ, complex variables, boundry values, and then...?
theoretically it keeps going but for how long? how much more can we really derive. people make a career out of math but how far is it really advancing? will there be another Newton to create another calculus? and is that really new math or just another version of the same? 2x =3 is just another variation of 2y=3 . we don't need to change the variables but sometimes its more comfortable. like shifting around axes
Speaking of Which, how is it that a 3 dimensional coordinate plane isn't labeled the same in math as in physics or vice versa? honestly...that should be as uniform as the metric system.
back to the problem at hand (Right Hand if you're following the rules) the irony would be that math is finite even though all its components are infinite.
p.s. funny story...*dramatic pause for emphasis* ... this blog is dedicated to you Kaitie

not going to lie, I get a little weepy when I think that math is finite.
Ugh! I love that it is dedicated to me! And I have close to no idea what the math stuff was all about- but let me tell you, that pick up line will never get old!
completely agree with you Whitney. and that's good news Kaitie cause i'm far from retiring it.
