# I like it, but why weren't you doing algebra in algebra?

# Well...
I was but it was boring. Plus I had already finished my classwork. And my friends were laughing at me because it took me longer than them to finish. My friends are bitches. ^_*

# those horrible fiends...

# you can use other techniques to do it
I was checking the calcs, the pc runs the information I make sure it checks out... just makes sure I don't get fudged by the pc.

# It's important that Killerkitti is able to design a structurally sound concrete floor in later life
which is able to withstand specific loads.

# Yes. Fiends.
Also, anything having to do with algebra can't be very exciting, can it?

# when you put it into the real world it can be very exciting, if you imagine that a and b and x and y actually have real quantifiable objects or variables
then it gets quite fun... how do roller coasters work, that'll be thanks to fiddling about with force = mass × acceleration and Work Done and other things but it'll boil down from that to finding the best speed or the necessary speed to go up the next rise via algebra.

# Oh my.
And I thought that no one ever really used math in life. Heh. I won't, though. I'm gonna be a comic book artist.

# roller coasters?
see this is the sort of lunacy all your science leads to, it's madness i tells ya, why in the name of all that is holy would anyone be damn fool enough to go on a roller coaster, if god had meant us to go on roller coasters he wouldn't have invented height restrictions and queues and throwing up your dinner and stuff.
