[LynzM]

14. Thanks, SA

[Redstone]

4. I'm not surprised. Nor should anyone who knows her be. Thanks for posting this;

she's an underappreciated DUer, not to mention a peach.

And I'd have been damn upset if I didn't have the opportunity to congratulate her.

Redstone.

[speedoo]

5. Well, she's not underappreciated by me.

I had to practically drag that info out of her...

she's obviously not one to toot her own horn.

And yes, she is most definitely a peach.

[Redstone]

6. You're a good friend to her, then. As she is a good friend to so many.

Redstone

[speedoo]

7. It's very nice of you to say that, Redstone.

Actually, I only met her once, and briefly.

I fancy myself a quick study when it comes to people and I would be honored to be her friend. Briarus, too.

[Drum]

9. Ditto!

:hi:

[Redstone]

10. He's a good guy. And if you ever meet their daughter, you'll be utterly captivated.

She's a complete cutie, and as bright as they come. I'm proud to be her Crazy Uncle Redstone.

Redstone

[LynzM]

15. Awwwwww......

:blush:






Did I mention :blush:? Love and hugs to you, my friend. :hug:

[Redstone]

18. You, m'dear, deserve every bit of praise. As your husband knows more than

anyone else.

PS: I got the invite, thank you. There may be complications (not ugly ones); I'll PM you tomorrow.

By the way, Thanksgiving is happening at Casa Redstone this year. I'm sure you all have places to go, but just in case you don't, come on down. We have 34 people coming, so three more would NOT be any problem.

Redstone

[LynzM]

24. Thank you, my friend.

:hug:

Let me know about the 2nd... you guys are welcome to come earlier or later as needed, of course! I'm not sure yet about Monday. I have to be in Colchester at 1:15, and I think it's quite a drive from there, though I've yet to get on google and figure that out. I'll let you know.

Thanks very much for the invite!! We'll be visiting with my grandparents et al., but I really appreciate it!!

[Drum]

8. LynzM Rrrrraaawwwks!

[LynzM]

16. Thanks, dude!!

[LynzM]

17. LMAO

Dude, you crack me up.... :rofl:

:bounce: :hi:

[LynzM]

19. Aww, thanks dude...

I have to go off and :blush: :blush: :blush: for a while now!!

[BrewerJohn]

20. Yay LynzM!

Now, can she map the real axis onto her donor star using the Schwarz-Christoffel transformation?
:party:

[LynzM]

22. LMAO

Not yet, dude... sorry! We've done Cauchy-Riemann equations, Riemann spheres, the Cauchy-Goursat Theorem, Liouville's theorem, and the Cauchy Integral formula, but no Schwarz-Christoffel. Hrrmph.

[BrewerJohn]

26. That's alright

I never really got the knack for S-C myself anyway, but it's definitely cool!
Congrats!

[lildreamer316]

21. What are Complex Variables?

Now I feel stupid.
CONGRATS!!!!!

[LynzM]

23. Ok, you get the short version, since I'm not totally sober

In Real Variables, a negative number does not have a square root, since there is no number that you can square to produce it. In other words, the square root of 9 is either 3 or -3, since squaring each gives you 9. But there is no square root of -9 in Real variables, you can't have a number that you square to get it.

Enter complex variables. First, you take i defined as the square root of -1. So, now you can do all kinds of fun stuff... so if you square 3i, you get 3*3*i*i = 9* -1 = -9. So now you have have square roots of negative numbers, and formulas based on a number that has a real and complex part, like z = x + i*y. You'd be amazed how much weird stuff you can do with this!!

[lildreamer316]

27. Almost sorry I asked.

My brain hurts. :crazy:
Seriously, I kinda get it, but it's just so far from my usual daily experience that I probably will not absorb it.
Glad someone can enjoy it, though!

[LynzM]

28. Yeah, it'll do that to you....

There are plenty of things that make my brain hurt like that, though, too! :rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

30. Wh... what?

I didn't understand a word of that. I'm series. And you did that un-sober? Ri-iiight.


Well holy sh!t, I AM impressed! Congratulations!!! We need people like you to conquor space and harness the power of black holes and program VCRs and stuff.


Here's to you!



:toast:


:yourock:

[LynzM]

31. LMAO....

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Sorry, DA! Maybe I need to back up a step?

Yeah, my brain likes math ok when I'm :smoke:, actually.

[GOPisEvil]

44. My words exactly!

There's a reason I'm not an engineer. Math and I are not on good terms.

I'm glad there's SOMEONE out there who gets it though. :)

[Dangerously Amused]

47. Yup. After an angst-ridden and mutually abusive relationship,

math and I parted ways immediately after high school algebra. Hey, we should get together over a beer and do some good old fashioned redneck math-bashing one of these days.


:toast:



I hear ya, tho. Thank God for people like LynzM and alarcojon (RIP) and all the rest of those Number Heads who hold up that end of the gene pool. Here's another one for them:



:toast:

[GOPisEvil]

48. My high school calculus teacher, bless her, foretold the end.

I went in early, did extra work with her, and she sensed my effort and passed me for the year. Interestingly, I took a class called "Calculus for Business" in college and made an A. I figured the math gods had taken a semester off. I took my A and got the hell outta town.

So, yes, we must share a drink and trash math! :toast:

[RevolutionaryActs]

25. And she's just about the cutest thing ever too!

:toast:

[LynzM]

29. Awwww, Rev.....

:blush:


:hi: and :toast:

33. Awww...

Thanks, LeftyMom!!

I'm crackin' up at your sigline, dude! :rofl:

[LeftyMom]

34. We went off on somebody for posting something homophobic in GLBT

so Lost made MrsGrumpy, Midlo and I honorary lesbians.

[LynzM]

36. Nice job.

I salute you. :patriot:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. My dear LynzM!

I have NO idea what complex variables are.....

But still......Biggo congratulations!

You go, girl!

:toast: :bounce: :bounce: :toast:

37. My dear CP!!

How nice to see you! :)

I sort of explained the basis of it in post #23, if you're curious.
