Mentally, however.... (you would have to ask my friends for details)
By the way, I did all that calculus stuff in High School, and this thread is the first time I have EVER seen a practical use for it outside of a university!
Good to see that our education systems are giving people the necessary skills for their futures.

Well, actually, pretty much all of the people using calculus formulae here (or decoding them semi-successfully, like myself) are just fresh from AP Cal or college Cal, so in a few years none of us will know any calculus whatsoever.

hmmmmm... sorry, Regis, that's not my final answer. I'm far too tired to go see what I did wrong in the math.
oh wait..... here we go.
200 - 190 + 3 = 13.

Hmmmmm, are you quoting from me?
!I don't know what the heck you mean by 'practical' but hey, i guess we're all a little !crazy somewhere.

!Well I'm in precalculus now, which is good for my age (around here at least), !which is around the cube root of the square of 59.0656806413811643094588236237601 (or so)

So far, we have seen a lot of math and a little science, so I will use history and literature.
history- I am the age of Queen Anne, Anne of Austria, when she got married plus two.(note- she was burn in 1601 and became Queen of France)
literature- In the book, Twenty Years After, by Alexandre Dumas, I am D'Artagnan's age minus twenty-four.

I couldn't be bothered working out all the maths but take it as a general sign that everyone so far is under 20 and still finds it new and exciting.
You can take it from this that I am over 20**
I think I may be one of the older, age wise, American members, as I am pushing 30 really rapidly.

Black belt in what form? I'm a green belt in shotokan... And I most emphatically am NOT a nerd because I hang around the web board six hours a day! That didn't sound too good. Maybe I am a nerd after all... And being good at math isn't nerdy. You're 12 and you're a year or two from Calculus?!?!?! Wow...I'm impressed.
