QOTW from Richard van der Merwe

Quote of the Week

or rather.. "Joke of the Week" :))

Hello guys! Ktine here once again! :P We'll post a tutorial video soon, since Pam is now in the process of editing it. Plus, we have a surprise for you readers.. You have to study for it though. Wait for future announcements!

Quote of the Week

To most outsiders, modern mathematics is unknown territory. Its borders are protected by dense thickets of technical terms; its landscapes are a mass of indecipherable equations and incomprehensible concepts. Few realize that the world of modern mathematics is rich with vivid images and provocative ideas. ~Ivars Peterson

Ktine here once again. I'm sure you're missing
Derpina, am I right? DO NOT FRET MY DEAR MINIONS. I'll upload a comic strip soon.(oh and Pam keeps on insisting that we act as guests in her next video. (I honestly think that we're not needed to make another tutorial video though. Pam's greatness in mathematics is enough)

Quote of the Week

Hey guys! Ktine here(once again). We are so sorry for not updating lately... School work and entrance exams have been keeping us busy. T^T Our friend Pam,(if you remember the pretty white girl who looked funny in the math tutorial she posted here) was supposed to post a new tutorial, but I have no idea if she'll post. You don't need to fret though, since I'll continue pestering her until she posts it. >:)


I hope this quote'll inspire you guys out there, like me(who is "mathematically challenged")

"There are two ways to do great mathematics. The first is to be smarter than everybody else. The second way is to be stupider than everybody else -- but persistent." -- Raoul Bott

Quote of the Week

Hi! Ktine here. We are so sorry for not updating LAMEFHM that much this week. School has been very mean to us.

The Equation of earnings

Engineers and scientists will never make as much money as business executives. Now a rigorous mathematical proof has been developed that explains why this is true:

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.

Postulate 2: Time is Money.

As every engineer knows,

Work = Power * Time

Since Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money, we have:

Work = Knowledge * Money

Solving for Money, we get:

Money = Work / Knowledge

Thus, as Knowledge decreases, Money increases, regardless of how much Work is done.

Conclusion: The Less you Know, the More you Make.

Note: It has been speculated that the reason why Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard’s math program was because he stumbled upon this proof as an undergraduate, and dedicated the rest of his career to the pursuit of ignorance.

Quote of the Week

An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are shown a pasture with a herd of sheep, and told to put them inside the smallest possible amount of fence. The engineer is first. He herds the sheep into a circle and then puts the fence around them, declaring "a circle will use the least fence for a given area, so this is the best solution." The physicist is next. She creates a circular fence of infinite radius around the sheep, and then draws the fence tight around the herd, declaring, "This will give the smallest circular fence around the herd." The mathematician is last. After giving the problem a little thought, he puts a small fence around himself and then declares,"I define myself to be on the outside."

Quote of the Week

Hello! Welcome to the site (as previously said by Julia).

Here, Linear Algebra becomes normal English instead of mathematical Jargon. That's all I have to say I guess.

Quotes are posted every Wednesday. :)
