I have reached a new high point in masochism:
Edited on Fri Oct-10-08 11:02 PM by bicentennial_baby
It is Friday night, 11:54 pm. And I am reading:

Fundamental Methods of Mathematical Economics, by Alpha C. Chiang. The quintessential Grad school Econ Mathematics text.

For FUN! I'm not doing Econ for Grad school! :rofl:

I felt like getting my math on. I blame SallyMander, frankly.

Excerpt:

"As a third possible type of relationship, two sets may have no elements in common at all. In that case, the two sets are said to be disjoint. For example, the set of all possible integers and the set of all negative integers are disjoint sets. A fourth type of relationship occurs when two sets have some elements in common but some elements peculiar to each. In that event, the two sets are neither equal nor disjoint; also, neither set is a subset of the other"

Yeah, I've lost it. It's official. :rofl:

1. That would be masochism, unless you're feeling no pain.

I actually commend you--I always mean to read something educational and complex for fun, but end up reading space operas or something. And Economics seems pretty timely, anyway. :)

(Edit: Did you change that on me?)

3. I fixed it...too wrapped up in math. Ha!
I'm an Econ major...going into Public Policy for Grad School. I don't love math enough to do an Econ PhD. :D

5. Jeez - my boyfriend has a folder on his computer called 'punishment'
filled with episodes of Friends. He threatens me with it when I'm 'naughty'.

Do I win?

14. I can do you one better: I read my Official Voter Information Guide cover to cover
143 pages of proposed laws and analysis.

Apparently a sign of some deep self-hatred on my part. :eyes:

17. CA is confusing, no?
MA is pretty basic. President, Senator, some Reps maybe, Locals, 3 ballot ?s.

143 pages? Y'all so crazy. :crazy:
