I have no idea how relations are today, but at The University of Alabama in the mid 80s people who lived in greek houses and those that lived off-campus were constantly at odds over who should be elected to student council.
Much of the same continues today, with the machine inevitably winning as GDI's generally don't care enough to vote. Unfortunately for us current students, the CW hasn't given out coupons for free anything since I've been here.
Why is the first question about a mathematical breakthrough always "What are the applications?" Why can people not accept that mathematics is interesting in its own right?
Not an equation, but I find Lagranges Theorem (If H is a subgroup of G, then the order of H divides the order of G) to be beautiful in that it is not very obvious at first why this should be true.
This is informative? It's just wrong. From your wikipedia link...
"A mass noun can be preceded by a measure word, as in "ten pieces of furniture" or "a gallon of water"."
A measure word, such as "amounts". Which can be modified with something like "vast".
That's what I get for posting that early in the morning. Seems like it would be isomorphic to the direct product of 6 4-cycles, now that I think about it, since there are 6 faces you can rotate.
I think the best comparison would be between a Civic and a Civic Hybrid (fewer variables). I looked into it a year ago, and based on the mpg ratings, the break even point ended up being at about 80,000 miles (forget the exact calculation, it's been a year). Figure at that point you'll probably need a new battery, and it doesn't seem quite worth it (it wasn't for me at least since I do a lot of highway driving--I ended up going with the standard Civic).
I wish it would be as useful as http://www.ams.org/mathscinet MathSciNet is for math papers. I can't find any math paper as easily on google scholar as I can on MathSciNet.

No, recording devices are not outlawed from all concerts, and the rights belong to the artist. Downloading live shows for free is perfectly legal as long as the band agrees to allow thier show to be recorded and distributed. http://wiki2.etree.org/index.php?page=TradeFriendl y . For example, you can find over 20,000 live, perfectly legal audience recordings at http://www.archive.org/audio/etree.php
Pi is not a physical constant, it is a mathematical quantity. If you attempt to derive Pi from physical measurements, any error will be a result of measurement error (as either the circumference or diameter will be irrational). Various formulas for calculating Pi have been proven over the centuries, several of which are listed here: URL: http://numbers.computation.free.fr/Constants/Pi/pi classic.html >
If you haven't taken an analysis class, I found real analysis to be quite interesting (particularly if you like set theory). Complex calculus (and complex analysis) also gets pretty interesting. I actually just finished a book called "Fermat's Enigma" which isn't too heavy on the actual math, but does an excellent job explaining the history and solution of Fermat's last theorem.

Damn formatting. I meant to say the group has the presentation <x,y,z | x^4=1,y^4=1,z^4=1>
Seems that the group would be

Precisely. Everyone knows the Flying Spaghetti Monster put these fossils there to test the faith of Pastafarians.
