As much as I’d like to rant about this guy, I’m going to quote him and move on to other things. Stay with me here.
“Study your math, kids. Key to the Universe.”
If your path in life can be described by a straight line, then there should be some sort of an equation that could describe that line. This, of course, is operating under the assumption that alternate realities/dimensions/universes either don’t exist or have no effect on this line. This being so, this line could be analyzed mathematically.
Today in Calculus we are going over limits. I’ve taken this class before, just taking over for the easy A and the refresher, so I’m quite comfortable with limits and their properties. Basically, limits are used to observe a line/function/equation/etc. These observations can be made at any point on the line, and can tell you a great deal, depending on the point on the line. For example, you might have an equation that increases exponentially to infinity at a certain point, then immediately after that point the equation equals negative infinity. This line, needless to say, is not continuous, and is undefined at that point.
So, where is Chris going with this? Last night was that point in the line that is my life where certain factors seemed to have gone from something that might have been described with a negative infinity to something that is at the very least positive. This is a radical change, and a welcome one. Other people observing this equation ask whether or not this data is correct, and question it’s validity. Seeing an equation go from infinitely negative to any positive number with an undefined point in the middle is difficult to accept, and that’s reasonable, especially for those that had been watching the entire time that the equation went from positive to assymptotically approaching negative infinity.
As far as I’m concerned I know how much I’ve changed as a person in the time that these lines went askew, and I’m willing to believe that these equations that were once discontinuous, irrational, and filled with assymptotes have the potential to be harmonious once again.
Oh, and I’ve got a fever… the only thing that’s going to cure it… is more cowbell.
