Moth's Real-Life Chronicles

[Moth]

I will take some of my twenty minutes a day to update this topic with real-life stuffs, while I take my almost-leave from this forum.

Day 1:

Learning in:

Linear Algebra: Matrices
Calculus II: Integration by Substitution - Logarithmic Functions
Intro to Statistics: N/A
Drawing I: Lines

Out of one leadership position, into another. I became the President of the Math and Computing Science club today. =D After four semesters, I've finally achieved the position. Those three months at the helm of the RIA will have been a great help. Thanks, guys! =D

Already, I've scheduled three food giveaways(they net the club some cash on the side), and discussed many of the events we'll plan. We have a robot that needs to be programmed, we have a Math Competition with cash prizes, there's a programming competition at another school that we go to, that I intend to participate in, and we usually have some trips, as well.

Day 2

Learning in:

Linear Algebra: Gaussian Elimination
Calculus II: Implicit Differentiation with Logarithmic Functions
Intro to Statistics: Critical Thinking
Drawing I: Lines

I got my first assignment today. @_@ In Statistics. Shouldn't be too hard. ^_^ What was once the Math Lab is now the Computer Science lounge! ^_^ We've got our own room! With the money we'll get from the food giveaway, we'll be able to buy a nice computer to have there. It's gonna be so sweet. =D

u dont know how to draw lines? XD

[Moth]

u dont know how to draw lines? XD

Do I REALLY have to explain what I mean by Lines? >_> There's more to lines than being able to draw them.

Day 3

Linear Algebra: Gaussian Elimination
Calculus II: Implicit Differentiation with Logarithmic Functions
Intro to Statistics: Critical Thinking
Drawing I: Composition with Lines

Just had Drawing today. I got to take my hard-boiled egg home with me. o.o

[Moth]

Day 4:

Linear Algebra: Gaussian Elimination
Calculus II: Inverse Functions
Intro to Statistics: Designing an Experiment
Drawing I: Composition with Lines

Started shopping for parts for a new computer for the Computer Lounge. It's good to be king. =D

[zblewski]

GAAUUUSSSS!!!!

[wethepeople]

o_o Good Lord man. You must have one sick education. All your classes, I don't know what half of them even mean. xd

[Ganon5]

Gaussian elimination is the devil. I used to really hate that

[Moth]

Day 5:

Linear Algebra: Gaussian Elimination
Calculus II: Natural Exponent Function
Intro to Statistics: Design of Experiments
Drawing I: Contour

I had to fill out a form asking for the club student government. I ALMOST put "Moth" in the President position. Thanks a lot, RIA. ;>.>

[smeeth]

Anytime! That's actually quite funny, you should've done it just for the halibut.

[enragedlobster]

o.o

How the hell many classes are you taking?

[Moth]

I'm taking four classes. >_> Pay attention.

Day 5:

Linear Algebra: Matrix Operations
Calculus II: Logarithms(bases other than e)
Intro to Statistics: Histograms
Drawing I: Contour

Plain day. Got an 8.5 on my second Calc test. Did my Linear Algebra homework at school. It was easy.

[Moth]

Day 6:

Linear Algebra: Matrix Operations
Calculus II: Logarithms(bases other than e)
Intro to Statistics: Histograms
Drawing I: Contour

I had to draw a bunch of stuff. @_@ Wasn't half-bad.

[smeeth]

Matrix Operation?! Is that a new version I haven't heard of yet? Does it involve blue pills and red pills?

[Moth]

Day 7:

Linear Algebra: Matrix Multiplication
Calculus II: Inverse Trig Functions
Intro to Statistics: Microsoft Excel (lol)
Drawing I: Contour

I had a Linear Algebra quiz and screwed it up. =( Hopefully, since I did things right EXCEPT for that one error, I won't get too many points taken off.

[schneereich]

hm i have calc 2 now but they make me wait until after i complete calc 3 to take linear algebra...

Solve this for a prize:

A firm faces a production function given by z = x^(1/2)y^2, where z is the level of output
and x and y the two factors of production. The firm's objective is to minimizes its cost
given by
C = px x + py y,
where px and py are the prices of the two factors.
a. Derive the two factor demand functions giving the optimal (cost minimizing)
values of x and y as a function of the factor prices and the level of output.
b. By substituting the optimal values of x and y into the objective function, derive
the associated cost function, giving costs as a function of the factor prices and
the level of output.
c. Show that the derivative of costs with respect to each factor price equals the
optimal value of the respective factor.

>_> F**k you, I hate optimization. That's Calc I stuff. I don't want to think about that. No dice.

[Ganon5]

Relax I don't expect anyone to do my work for me

[Moth]

è_é Never ask me to do Calculus I work. H8.
