oh wow. I'm so into that philosophy. you really need to read Atlas Shrugged. It's all about that -- completely inspiring.
I really need to stop saying late at the office. It is not my passion, and Ayn Rand would not approve.
(however I do get to tudor someone in math this semester -- wheeeee)

I finished one of my books, so I think I can add Atlas Shrugged to the empty slot now.

Wow, a math tutor. Maybe I should start throwing words out there like polynomial and hypergeometric functions.

Ok, maybe not.

make sure to graph it. them pictures are purty.
throw in some distributions for good measure. the Poisson distribution (http://mathcauv.free.fr/distribution_poisson.htm)
and Bivariate Normal are so charming.

okay, wait. I have to say this. You know what really gets me about the hypergeometric function? Its freakin' name. What sometimes should be called Gaus' equation or function is just called the hypergeometric function. And you're supposed to assume Gaus' in particular. also, with respect to hypergeometric, people will use the term function and series interchangeably, not really indicating whether or not they mean closed form.
that's just a bunch of poo.
