This thread is just what the title says it is. It is all about Math. You can post math jokes(the jokes don't have to be good), math questions, what you like about Math, or even why you hate Math.
My math joke: Resistance is not futile. It is voltage divided by amps.
We have to have the quadratic theorem memorized, along with all the geometric formulas like pi(r)^2 and junk. On our EOCTs we only have things like standard and mean absolute deviation and soh cah toa.

*laughs at joke* So what now? Should we talk about the "trinary" system? lol (Same as binary, except that it is 3^x instead of 2^x.) It is much better than binary, in that it can store exponentially more data, in fewer digits. For example, in 10 digits of binary, there are 1,024 (2^10) possible combinations, but in 10 digits of "trinary", there are 59,049 (3^10) possible combinations, more than 50x more, in just 10 digits!
Jeez. I only just started understanding binary and this trinary or whatever sounds ridiculous. so 0 would be 0, 1 would still be base 2^x? So what would the 2 be? 3^x? I suppose with this trinary you could have those 8bit chains with higher values. I hope I'm making sense, this is all really new to me. I probably dont even have the terminology right.
