Seconded! You won't catch me creaming myself over an equation!!! But recite some James Joyce to him and he's all yours! .......... behave or I'll make you read Ulysses again H!! ;D

Jules and A2V; I see you mock that which you can not comprehend! How truely shallow of you both. I've come to expect more of you. I shall factorise your quadratics if you aren't careful!!! I see no beauty in numbers, compared with a sunset, fine wine and the smile of a beautiful girl...... that's all!

I comprehend well enough Mr Caversham, as I've read the book you're reading and a fair bit of Bertrand Russell in my time. It's just interesting that you're nailing your colours to that particular mast ....... that's all!!

Compared to all that is great out there, maths is right at the bottom of the pile.

'Maths is for dullards and squares' it's true. There's no room for free expression in Maths. I would beg to differ - allow, for instance, that everything you see on your computer is maths-based, and you may begin to see my point (i.e. someone had to expressively create those graphics). Also, have you never seen children when they're first learning about tesselation in geometry? You watch them trying to make squares, triangles, hexagons etc fit together in patterns; it fascinates them. No freedom of expression? Maths is as much of an art form as water-colours or literature; you just have to know how to appreciate it.

Eg: When enjoying a woman consider her geometric contours and think about her molecular structure. Then think that 300m sperm will be released into her and consider the velocity at which they are ejaculated and what trajectory they will travel!

Not much room for expression there. Did you even read the rest of that post? Maths is about more than just numbers and rules - there's such a thing as application too!

Yep it's all about the geometric contours ................. 'oi lads, will you have a look at the geometric contours on that!!' ;D

Maths is as much of an art form as water-colours or literature; you just have to know how to appreciate it. You can't create something in maths though. There's only one answer, nothing is left open to an individual’s own interpretation and that is boring and regimented.

Anyone who's ever read a crap novel or seen a lifeless picture will realise that every art form is about application. Do it the right way, or it'll be crap.
In schools, they teach you the crap way once you reach eight years old.

My favourite bit of thinking outside the box ............
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington Chemistry mid term. The answer was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, which is why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
BONUS QUESTION: IS HELL EXOTHERMIC (GIVES OFF HEAT) OR ENDOTHERMIC (ABSORBS HEAT)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's law (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed), or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: _______________________
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul goes to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand as souls are added. This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Teresa Banyan during my Freshman year, "...that it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you", and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then #2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic, and will not freeze. _______________________
The student received the only 'A' given.

So, basically, nur! There are creative artistic types and fastidious scientific types, and ne'er the twain shall meet! ;D
