| | Talk dirty to me (in mathematics)! If you have done any of these things, consider yourself a dirty old mathematician. Have you ever applied your math to a hard science? Applied your math to a soft science? Done an integration by parts? Done two integration by parts in a single problem? Bounded the domain and range of your function? Used the domination test for improper integrals? Done Newton's Method? Used the Sandwich Theorem? Used a Gaussian surface? Used a foreign object on a math problem (eg: calculator)? Used a program to improve your mathematical technique (eg: MACSYMA)? Not used brackets when you should have? Integrated a function over its full period? Done a calculation in three-dimensional space? Done a change of bases? Done a change of bases specifically in order to magnify your vector? Worked through four complete bases in a single night (eg: using the Graham-Schmidt method)? Inserted a number into an equation? Calculated the residue of a pole? Scored perfectly on a math test? Swallowed everything your professor gave you? Used explicit notation in your problem set? Padded your own problem set? Been blown away on a test? Have you ever bounded your Bessel function so that the membrane did not shoot to infinity?

| | I don't know if you're in my range, but I'd sure like to take you home to my domain.
Oh yeah. ;D |

| | I wish I was your derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves.
