Yes. In the Ottawa Carleton Catholic School Board, math got much easier. It used to be that, in grade 12, there were three university level math courses to choose from.
Advanced Functions and Calculus - covered trigonometry, exponentials, logarithms, factoring, polynomial division (both long and synthetic), and differential calculus
Geometry and Introduction to Discrete Mathematics - covered basic geometric theorems, some counting (combinations, factorials, powers, etc...), vectors, and some basic proofs
Some stats course that I didn't take
Now, they've left the statistics course alone (from what I've heard), but they've severely crippled the other two. Advanced Functions was given its own course, with 2 full units on trigonometry alone. Vectors and Calculus covers...well, vectors and differential calculus. Everything else was gutted. That's great for Little Sue and Johnny who just need to get their credits, but what about the math, engineering, and physics majors who need to know how to do proofs? It's disgusting, and will just require kids to suffer in their first year of university even more than they already do. But hey, what do I know? I'm just some punk third year math major who suffered first year because of not knowing a thing about series, integral calculus, or proper proof methods.
Reminds me of the guy who wore glasses that would invert the rays coming to him so that he saw everything upside down. Then, after a while, things straightened out. When he took them off, things again appeared to be upside down.
Wrong. A function is a way of taking every element in domain A and giving it an element in domain B. So F: A -> B. If a1 and a2 are elements of A, then it's perfectly reasonable to construct a function such that f(a1) = f(a2). Take, for example, f(x) = x^2. That's a function, but it is not a one to one mapping. The inverse function does not exist, as f(x) = +-sqrt(x) is not a function. A one to one mapping would be something like x, x^3, x^5, x^(2n+1), where n is a positive integer for n >= 0. The two main trig functions, sin and cos are functions, but not one to one. See where I'm going with this?
tl;dr - A function assigns ONE value in B to every element in A. This does not mean that those values are unique.
And if there is legitimate evidence with a legitimate theory behind it (that is, one that can make predictions and have them be right), and it is the best explanation of the phenomena at hand, then it will probably be accepted.
Umm, gravitational force is proportional to 1/r^2, not 1/r. So while your original point about acceleration being independent of the mass of the object being accelerated, your formula is wrong. Compare this vs this. Even if you change the units of the gravitational constant, the earth would be a much different place.
That's actually why they're using anti-hydrogen instead of positrons or anti-protons: to try and eliminate the issue of the much stronger electromagnetic force.
No I'm not. I'm replying to the parent of me, the one who said there's no constitutional requirements to be vice-president. There are: "[...] no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States".
Now, personally, my opinion is that the whole primary system is inherently flawed. The fact that a few states can so heavily influence who can run is absurd. Hold it all on one day so the media gets less control of the damn process. Or look at the way the Liberal party of Canada does it. Not saying it's perfect, but it's a thought. What they do is they have the local Liberal riding groups vote for their preferred candidate. They then send delegates to the convention, and those delegates are required to make their first vote towards the candidate their riding told them to vote for. If one of the candidates gets a majority of the delegate votes, they're the leader of the Liberal party. Otherwise, the delegates are now free to vote for whomever they want until a candidate wins the majority. All of these runoff votes are held in one sitting until someone wins. Period. Get rid of this staggered voting for the candidates.
You should take a look at Canada. Four parties in Parliament with the Conservative Party forming a minority government. The Conservatives are the "right-wing" party, and the Liberals the "left-wing" party. Of course, the two are so similar on most things that they're nigh indistinguishable. Those are the two main parties, and the only ones with any chance at forming the government. Then we have the NDP, which is the true left wing party. They'll support just about anything socialist, and are heavily supported by unions such as CAW and CUPE. And filling out the roster is the Bloc Quebecois. The Quebec only party that runs on a platform of do what's best for Quebec. I've heard from people I live with in Ottawa that if the Bloc ran outside Quebec, they'd for them, just to get rid of the major parties. Of course, we also have the sporadic groups, such as the Green Party, who run in all ridings but never get elected, and the rest of the parties, such as Libertarian, Marxist, Communist, Marijuana, Fascist, and my personal favourite, the neorhino party. You can find the rest here.
Of course, we only get one vote, and whoever has the plurality of vote gets the seat in a riding, and whoever gets the plurality of seats gets the government. If they don't get a majority of seats, it's a minority, which tends to be unstable, though the current one isn't. If they get the majority of seats....well, that just means it's 4 years of one party doing whatever the want (more or less).
Wow. That's...genius. Of course, the devil's in the details. For example: do you force people to choose their charities, or let it be an option for those who want to? Or, what are people allowed to choose from? Does there need to be a certain percentage of tax dollars going towards specific charity types (like education, health care, Boys and Girls clubs, etc...), or do the people get full control?
Ah, but for me, they usually are in my path. Well, the ones I rely on most heavily. That is to say: firefox, iexplore, msnmsgr, winmine, sol, and (when I still used MS Office) excel and winword. My other main programs (SharpReader, Thunderbird, Winamp) are almost always open anyways, or open on startup so I don't mind the few seconds it takes to navigate the start menu (which I do by keyboard anyways). However, I am curious as to how I can create those shortcuts. What exactly is the path that you refer to? Keep in mind that I am using XP.
Thank god I'm not the only person who still uses the run box. Nine times out of ten, it's faster than using my mouse. I just Win Key , R, firefox, and go. Or, if I really need to access iexplore, it's Win Key, R, iexplore , and go. My typing is much faster than my mousing, so anything that prevents me from using that damned mouse is perfect for me.
Which is exactly why I use Thunderbird. Actually, that's more of a side benefit of using Thunderbird (well, at least after you install and configure the add-on to let you do that). I really use Thunderbird because I have 6 different e-mail addresses, all active for various reasons: one for school (HAVE to check that one, so I just forward it to another e-mail), one hotmail for signing up for various crap on the internet, one gmail for e-mailing other people, one gmail for slightly professional looking service (at least until I move out and get an ISP linked address), and one gmail for anonymity. Oh, and another collective e-mail for the podcast I'm part of. Between that, Firefox, and SharpReader (an rss feed), I rarely have to use IE.
If you're not being charged for the service, then absolutely do it. Cost them money. Make them understand that their lack of internal communication, lack of intelligent engineering plans, and excessive marketing are going to cost them money. Every single time it doesn't go through, make them know that they lost a customer. Get it through to them that their bad decisions are costing them money. That's the only thing they understand.
That depends on what type of dance. For a partnered dance with a clear lead and follow, I can imagine that nerds would be in high demand. For the gyrating bodies found in your typical club...methinks the answers do be a bit different.
And as soon as they think those damned criminals are cheating the system, they'll jack up the conviction penalties to be much worse than whatever you dare hide from them.
Actually, there is a benefit to an individual business: to survive diseases like this. The problem is that's a long term benefit, and most businesses can't see past the next quarter, let alone the next decade.
Good for you. Now just get someone in Parliament to propose it. Note that you can take my sentence two ways: 1) get elected and propose it or 2) get someone already in parliament to propose it. Good luck.

Are you serious? That soon? No, she'll wait till just after the 2 year mark, so she's eligible for 2 full terms after that.

You were experimenting without government approval? Off to GITMO with you, you terrorist scumbag.
I meant to keep and experiment on a stock of non standard bananas, not to sell them. Sorry for the lack of clarity.

Check out the Ottawa Valley, you're more likely to hear it there (at least in Ontario, anyways).
