Haven't used Calculus a day in my life that wasn't for the classes. In fact, I pretty much don't use any of my University maths in my job (programming). I guess it was interesting to see what they were about, but I think that several thousand dollars could have been put to better use elsewhere.

EDIT: Self-indulgent relink page topper because I'm feeling to lazy to dig through my favourites at the moment.

New clip and you all just talk about school :I

Whatever I think I will go back fighting Kilrathi, or play TF 2 people there talk more about ponies there.

BTW I saw Legend of Korra today, it's going to be awesome series.

I don't even know what calculus is. Sounds like a good word to use for technobabble though.

Sorry dude but... I totally got an 80 on the last math quiz I took. There was a question where you explained the external angle theorem and why it could not be possible in spherical geometry. I got the first part wrong because I didn't pay attention. It made me kind of sad.

Strangely enough, the hard part of the question, proving it cannot exist in spherical geometry, got me full points. I'm still not completely sure what I did wrong there XD

Eeyup.

But I think the clip only showed the people in the audience. The only things I can gather from it is that Shining Armor and Twilight seem to get along well enough. As in, I don't think they fight a lot or anything, which used to be my previous theory.

We have L Mage to thank for that (not sure whether it's good or bad)

@Death Cloud The four minute preview?

See? Technobabble!

That's what bugs me. Yeah, I can understand why the Electrical Engineers need Calc 1-3, but what does a CECS major need with that?

Well for one thing, you need it for physics and AI, which come up a lot in computer games.

I still think derivatives are some kind of witchcraft, but toward the end of the first year of learning I could suddenly handle them.

4 minutes preview?

What? No kidding? AI? I can understand physics though.

My Little Calculus: Limits Are Magic

What the hell did you watch? That's what I watched a couple weeks ago.

Math is awesome. It's so awesome that I want a nerdy math object like this one: Pop Quiz Clock

As for the actual clip... well... I don't know. It doesn't really reveal anything important. Except Derpy with underped eyes.

I imagine Twi would know what y'all talking about.

I can figure out technobabble because it's just words.

This Saturday, we got Cutie Mark Crusader Paparazzi action. Mwahahaha.

For example, making this game required among other things, calculus, trigonometry, linear algebra, and differential equations.

Maths was the main reason I'm becoming a biologist. The only maths needed isn't more advanced than interpeiting data. Much simpler. XD

@ Chadaman 99 You lost me there. I completely don't know what do you mean.

My thoughts about the wedding preview:

GAAAH, WHY NO DIALOGUE?

D'awwww, CMC flower fillies

They couldn't just use an organ? XD

Seems like Shining Armor and Twilight have a pretty good relationship if he smiles at her when she fixes his strap-thingies on the front of his uniform.

Meanwhile, Physics and Engineering is just applied mathematics. In general. ^^

Math is cool. I will never be a math major, but I'm really enjoying my math class this semester. It is (GASP) one of my favorite classes this semester.

I watched a 4 miniute preview of the show. What did you watch?

Portal pony again? Well I seriously think you and Twi would love XKCD.

Oh, I hear someone's been leaking full episodes of that Korra thing.

@Storyyeller: I quit. Forget it. There is no freakin way I'm doing more calculus.

You still need a lot of math if you're going to do any type of statistics. For example, what is the probability that a drug actually works? How similar are two gene sequences? What is approximate number of bluefin tuna in the Atlantic Ocean?
