doyleSo I'm sitting here doing my astrophysics homework - online since I have to use integrals.com to do the hard bits of the calculus for me (two maths A-Levels and I still don't know how to integrate xe^-x, sigh...)
Then I notice the site is run by Wolfram Research, so now I have images in my head of poor Angel sitting in his office looking with panic at his computer screen going "e? What the hell is e? Wesley!"
...I may have had too much coffee.

on 2004-04-06 07:14 am (UTC)Wolfram is a weird outfit. They're the new way of science guys. But for what they do, there's nobody else. They're number one, slots 2-9 are blank, and there's something doing an open source thing at 10.T
I feel you, though. I took Computer Science and was doing math to fulfill that requirement until the summer before my last (fall) semester, when I should've been done by the end of sophomore year. Then I was a dumbass and took Graphics, which is all math.

3.) Hee. As well read and intelligent as Angel
pretends to beis, I bet higher math is a problem.*G*

on 2004-04-06 09:59 am (UTC)Hee! Yup, that's what my degree's in.
2.) I don't know what "xe^-x" is, or how or why you'd want to integrate it?
x (the variable you're integrating over) multiplied by the exponential of negative x. It's all to do with the solar source function (how much stuff comes off a star)
I love my course. It can make me pretend I'm smart...

I used to think he was really intelligent as well. I mean... 250 years traveling, reading, experiencing... then after Epiphany, to find out his brain came spurting out of his dick...
Did I just say that out loud? *G*
And since then, we've gotten pop music and movie, and actor references with nothing more difficult to read than a newspaper.
*cries* I liked it when Angel was smart!
Smart is haaaaaawwwwwt. Not that dumb and pretty doesn't have its place

on 2004-04-06 10:46 am (UTC)I have an Angel Bible somewhere in my pigpen of an office. Lost since I chucked it across the room during Provider, I think. I figured -- Joss tossed his, why shouldn't I?
*G* Not to be bitter and snide or anything. I'm carrying a little resentment that they dumbed my favorite character down. ;)
