The notation for modern calculus is primarily Leibniz and Lagrange, but Newton's is heavily used in engineering and physics. They both came up with the ideas of calculus, working from different angles, so it is not accurate to say that modern calculus is based on Leibniz's work, only his notation. At least from personal experience though, we had to learn all three (which got really clunky when the teacher started writing in all three forms alternating in different problems).

Yeah, exactly. It's also rather silly to compare different forms of "intelligence", because every profession uses different skills. Who is to say that Einstein, formulating his general and special relativity (which required an extensive math background) is smarter than Darwin formulating the theory of evolution? Personally my bias is towards Newton though, since he did all the sciency stuff AND helped "found" modern calculus.

In my view, having intelligence and not using it is the same as having no intelligence at all. It's good to view everything from the lense of an employer. In a skilled job, yes, you will need intelligent people. But how is someone that isn't motivated to do their job or learn the skills required to do it any better?

Premise: Mather becomes the father of a new human race and the world is turned into conflict between a surviving group of government officials and scientists that managed to actually defeat the zombie apocalypse and a large horde of musculus mutant creatures created as a result of having such a small gene pool and interbreeding. From the point of the scientists, where they discover a bulkier form of zombie start taking over the Earth with some sort of sentience.

Fast food would kill you faster than the zombies would.

So is the plan to outlast the zombie attack?

Jippers Mather, don't need to get so worked up about everything. :) As long as things aren't messed up with the re-organization with threads ending up all over the place, I don't have much of an issue with that.

Dangit Lynx, you know that the square root of negative things are imaginary.

I think the term "Mathematician" is being used loosely here. There are a lot of brilliant people that I've met at math competitions (Like people smart enough to win, it was hard enough for me just to get in) and I wouldn't hasten to call them mathematicians either, because they are using creative thinking to solve problems that have already been solved hundreds of times before. Mathematicians, like other scientists, discover or figure out new things. But to answer the question, four mostly part time jobs is probably okay, if you're not stressed out about stuff.

Wooo, cameo! When do we get to read it?

I hate republics, because then I can't become Holy Roman Emporer. Although I played an Italy-colonial conquest game and I was a republic there, if only because I enjoyed the contrast with the monarchist Austria. (I like setting up my own massive war scenarios for myself to play and lose)

Well you can use liberum vote for a pretty good force and defeat the Ottomans even when they do have troops in Greece. Although I just suck in combat in general, so I need a force at least twice as large as the enemy country to win convincingly. I can run one or two armies okay, but then I get lost and forget all the theaters of war that I'm fighting in and my stuff gets killed.

Napoli and Brandenburg/Teutonic Order are fun if you don't mind going around the HRE web of alliances to form Italy/Germany. If you enjoy diplomacy, Austria is fun (well, diplomacy against the west and smashing crap in the east). And if you're in for that sense of accomplishment for bringing a small nation to the big leagues, try Byzantine empire.

Yoda died and became one with the force. So he knew what he was talking about, since he's the one bringing us the Yahoo Answers page.

Yoda disagrees. What he says on lifting a heavy object compared to a light object is like transferring data large distances compared to small distances. "No! No different! Only in your mind."

The internet is like the force. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together. So not being able to access the internet is not a valid argument. :P

Use Yahoo answers. There are people competing day and night to get the most "best post" selections, and chances are, there will be someone with flight training that has flown the exact plane that you are flying now.

Every airplane has a manual describing the angle of attack and the positions of the flaps (aeri somethings) for gliding and the protocols in the event of engine burnout.

Archi, there's a protocol manual for this. USE THE MANUAL

Jump on my glider and sail peacefully back down to Earth.

I still live!

Gah, my plans haveth been foileth once againeth!

Pssh, I'm in a situation where I'm doubling up on AP Calc and Precalc, but because of schedualing difficulties, I'll have to postpone entering Precalc. Since no one's complaining, I might just be able to sneak past the fact that I actually need precalc to take calc and fit something else in there. And by the time I'm done with the year, I might be scott free if no one takes a look.
