Math??

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

Sure, if we have a literature forum, then why not have a math forum as well?

lie down for a few minutes, it will pass over.

See no reason against it. I voted yes.

Sounds good. I seem to enjoy math as well, aside from solving augmented matrices. Not too hard, but just takes too much time and paper. (Takes twice the time on the calculator unless teacher hasn't told me a formula)

Solving matrices on calculator is easy if you're using a TI-8x. Of course I'm not 100% positive we're both talking about the same thing, but at least I think we are.

I vote yes, but if Shinto gets his own forum, maybe we should have a "Gay Forum", for our gay members...me!

Solving matrices is pretty easy, but augmented matrices. i.e
[1 2 3:4]
[3 4 5:6]
[1 0 4:7]
You have to get it to look like the identity matrix
[1 0 0: x]
[0 1 0:y]
[0 0 1:z]
by doing certain operations, and I don't think you can do it on a calculator in less than a minute.

That should be pretty simple on a TI-83.

OMG! A GAY FORUM! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Math forum sounds good, too.

Eh, I voted no, but I don't really care. All I do is math shit in school, so I'm not particularly fond of the idea of doing and looking at it on my free time as well..

I also voted no. I just don't see any activity in a math forum..

I voted yes, I'll probably be needing some help in calc this year, and sometimes when I'm sitting in class I discover things mathematical. like
333x333=110889
110+889=999
666x666=443556
443+556=999
999x999=998001
998+001=999

x=6*6*6 X=216 2+1+6=9 X+X=432 4+3+2=9 X+X+X=648 6+4+8=18 X+X+X+X=864 8+6+4=18 X+X+X+X+X=1080 1+0+8+0=9 X+X+X+X+X+X=1296 1+2+9+6=18 X+X+X+X+X+X+X=1512 1+5+1+2=9 X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X=1728 1+7+2+8=18 X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X=1944 1+9+4+4=18

etc. I can't seem to figure out the pattern with the 9s and the 18s but I haven't looked too deep into it.

9 is an amazing number and I am an amazing nerd.

I might start a thread trying to find the pattern. Math has always been my best subject .

It's a well known fact that for any multiple of 3, if you add the digits together, you will get another number which is a multiple of 3. A lesser known fact is that the same is true for 9.

As much as I hate math due to my current and previous teacher I don't see why we couldn't give this a shot.

Exactly, that is how you are supposed to do a quick check to see if a number is divisible by 3.
