I want to ride my bicycle.
My standard is plain old Diet Coke, though the lime is good, too.
For a change of pace, I love Fresca, though.

I love diet coke with lime. It tastes like key lime pie.
Don't you need a comma between plain and old Peach?

Why, no, I do not. Two adjectives require a comma between them only when they are coordinate adjectives (i.e. having equal status). If they were coordinate, the sentence would make sense with them reversed or if the word "and" were inserted between them. I would certainly never say I like "old, plain" coke or "plain and old coke." In fact, I prefer fresh coke, thanks.
Stick to math, buddy! :p

Hey it was worth a try... now what is the derivative of sin(x) Peach?

I love it when you talk dirty.
cos(x)
For the record, I got 10 points on that derivative thing, too. The whole slope thing makes it very easy when represented graphically.

I love itIt does make sense doesn't it, just the slope of a line at an instantaneous time.
Now the integral is even easier...the area under a curve between two points...how easy is that?

It makes everything else so much easier to understand when you know what derivatives are, too (i.e. the change in something over time). I never have confidence in my ability to memorize formulas and stuff, but knowing that I can derive, say the acceleration formula by taking the second deriviative of...
Um, I mean, I like ginger ale. Diet Canada Dry, specifically.

What's your profession Peach? How far did you make it in calculus?

I currently work as a paralegal, thinking about law school.
I took math through 415 at OSU (differential equations).
It's a long story.

Ah the last chapter in 415 introduced Fourier Series and heat transfer. Until I took engineering classes involving that stuff I was lost as can be.

as I am told every day... we don't have POP in Jersey... only soda...
however they do have 'worter' ... which I am just as quick to remind them... it is WATER in Ohia...
