I don't like tan graphs very much. They're just eugh. Much prefer sin/cos graphs.

Wait, no.

No no no–

studying for my methods sac but writing in sparkly glitter pens so i feel a bit better about myself and not like i want to scream and cry every time a question asks me to draw a trig graph

[sokkas-therapist]

Zukka incorrect quote based on a conversation my friends had in our trig class today

Zuko: I can’t figure out how to make this logarithmic function hit these points on the graph

Sokka: oh…I just made linear lines to hit the points

Zuko: but that’s cheating??

Sokka: no it isn’t

Zuko: it literally is- the point of the assignment is to create logarithmic functions, you can’t just use linear lines.

Sokka: well if I hit you over the head with a pan-

Zuko: WHAT?? why are you hitting me in the head, I thought you loved me???

Sokka, continuing as if Zuko hadn’t interrupted him: -and you pass out, then it wouldn’t matter what type of pan it was, would it? You would still be unconscious.

Zuko: what the fuck is wrong with you

Sokka: a graph is a graph.

Sokka: …

Sokka: also I do love you

top 10 richard cameron moments i guess

man door hand hook car door

him being second to join the new dead poets society right after charlie when neil asks whos in

i love the clarinet

his and charlies relationship is really something like cameron really was following charlie everywhere the whole time acting like he didn't want to (he did) (i'm totally not reading too much into everything he does for a tumblr post (i am))

he really was just trying to keep all the poets safe like i know he did the wrong thing in the end but like. he joined the poets knowing how dangerous it was and the whole time he was pointing out the things that could go wrong and warning them about specific things and they all told him he could just not join and he did anyway and maybe i'm just reading too much into it but like. he could've stayed home. and he didn't.

when keating was whispering "carpe diem" to them and he looked at keating like wtf are you doing cause honestly he was right for that

him graphing dr. j. evans pritchard's graph with a ruler

when knox was talking about chris and he was like. damn that sucks. let me help you with trig.

"where did you get that???" about the magazine charlie brings "what are you guys doing????" about neil and todd running around their dorm

the walking exercise what keating had to say about how he was overthinking how to walk cause that was relatable

We’re doing trig identities in my trig class and I got inspired by Halmos symbol and how it looked like a censor soooo here’s a stab at a unit circle concept because obsession

Design notes

-the halo is supposed to represent the unit circle

-outfit has the sleeves of Sine and Cosine skirt with Axis’ sash

-belt has a dot in a circle, representing the unit circle on the graph

-the cowlickish things are supposed to look like a 1 and pi

Oh Holy Shit. /vpos

Why Is He Pretty. <- thinks he is pretty

Oh My God.

Oh my gosh! How have I just found this amazing tumblr? Please can I ask for any prompt from the AU in which they’re surgeons? Maybe domestic with their child or building to the ‘I love you?’ and maybe anything extra from 🐸?

'hello, little dr. choi-silva.'

you roll your eyes with a laugh. 'hey, aunt cam.'

sometimes, when your moms are on overlapping shifts, you'll come to the hospital from school when you don't have violin or judo or tennis or something planned with your friends; you're old enough now to take the train, and they always let you hang out in the attendings lounge while you do your homework or watch something on your phone.

your aunt camila — a very fancy researcher, as you've come to understand as you got older, mostly because you've known her as your funny, kind, cool aunt since you were little — sits down next to you at the table.

'oh cool, trig. my favorite part of ninth grade.'

'ew.'

'hey, you can't drag math that much. i do all kinds of cool things with it, and your mom and i —'

'yeah, yeah, stem cells and rebuilding severed spinal cords. blah blah.'

'you were way nicer when you were four.'

'do you want to do my homework for me?'

your aunt camila laughs. 'i'm happy to do it with you, if you want.'

you, like, really don't want to do your math homework, but nora had wanted to come hang out at your house tomorrow and she makes you so nervous it's hard to focus. 'i want to get it done fast, so that would be sweet.' you scoot your chromebook and graph paper closer to your aunt. 'thank you.'

'does this speeding through math have anything to do with —' she looks around to make sure no one is listening, even though you're the only ones in the lounge — 'your girlfriend?'

horrifically you feel yourself blush. 'nora isn't — she's — ugh.'

'have you told your moms yet?'

'suddenly, trig seems so appealing.'

your aunt laughs but grants you a little grace, thank fucking god. you work for a while and, with your aunt explaining things patiently and clearly, you're just about to finish when both of your moms, a little surprisingly, come into the lounge.

'hey, tai,' your mama says, kissing you on the top of the head softly.

'what's up, kid?' your mom grins and squeezes your shoulder. you don't remember being adopted — you were just a baby anyway — but every time your mom smiles at you like that, or your mama gently corrects your form when you're sparring, or they both listen to you clumsily practice a new piece on the violin, before your fingers have gotten the hang of the notes you don't know yet — you think you're the luckiest person in the world.

your mom glances over your shoulder as your mama goes to, presumably, gather their things. 'one, my surgery got canceled — my patient had a fever, so you're stuck with both of us tonight.'

'however will i survive.'

your mom rolls his eyes. 'you're lucky you're cute.'

you know he knows you're kidding, but you still nudge his hip anyway and he ruffles your hair. 'two, did you finish your math?'

'i have, like, two more? but aunt cam helped a lot.'

'you knew your stuff all on your own,' she says, which is relatively generous but makes you feel better about your test in two weeks.

your mama comes over with her neat overnight duffel and your mom's messy cotton tote. 'does this efficiency with math have anything to do with your girlfriend coming over tomorrow?'

your aunt cam laughs — total traitor — and your mom grins, tapping. your chair with her cane when you groan and hide your face in your hands. 'i was gonna tell you guys, i swear.'

your mom rubs your back gently. 'you are your mother's daughter.'

'i'm adopted,' you whine.

your mama laughs. 'nurture is so strong, my love.'

she starts gathering your things too, straightening your backpack, and normally you would scoff and ask her to stop, because you're fourteen and way too old for that. but you love them both, a lot, and, like. your folders were out of the order you like — your class schedule, which your mama has memorized too — so you don't say anything.

'tai, since we're both off now, want to go get some pizza at roberta's?' she asks you, slipping into a fleece that's definitely your mom's — department of neurosurgery embroidered on it, but whatever. it's an enticing offer; your favorite.

'what's the catch.'

'we gotta put olives on half,' your mom says, handing you your coat as you stand.

'deal.'

'and you have to tell us about how you got together with nora.'

'i'm gonna run away. i swear.'

your moms and your aunt laugh — you love them so much you don't want to go to college out of the city; they're your favorite people in the whole entire world — but you pout for posterity. you grumble as you go to the car, and then while you're waiting in a booth for your order.

'out with it.' your mom grins.

your mama pats your hand and amends, 'if you're ready.'

you take a deep breath, but then you smile. 'okay, i've been dying to tell you guys.'

your moms grin.

20, 32, 46?

20. What kind of math are you best at? maybeeee algebra? i think i might still be able to do a lil trig if i got a refresher. as long as im just playing with numbers and variables and solving for x or whatever i'm fine but i hate graphs and i'm a lost cause when it comes to shapes.

32. If you could dye your hair any color, regardless of how you think it would look, what color would you choose? LIKE THIS... like hoshiko's hair!!! specifically just the red bc i think my hair is naturally dark enough for it to work great. i've wanted to dye my hair like this since i was a little kid but i get too worried abt how it'll affect my hair health !!!!!!

46. What’s the last thing a friend recommended to you that you looked into and actually liked? this one is kinda difficult bc i havent been talking to ppl much. i guess you could say i have become balatropilled but that was more everyone going insane over it and me going "well whats all the fuss about." more directly maybe my gf insisting the new percy jackson show is good and then having me being an unbiased test dummy. and now i've been passively thinking of reading the first book n i wanna watch season 2 NEOW...

so many people hate math but people generally seem to like physics (at least based on responses i got when telling people that I was a math/physics major--i eventually just told people I was a physics major to avoid the "oh, ew, I hate math" response),

this is probably because everyone was forced to learn math for years in school, but most people had only one year of required physics in school, if that

but i'm low key kind of convinced that this is misplaced, because it's actually physics's fault that you had to learn so much math in school

like the math that people struggle the most with, things like trig and conic sections and graphing equations and functions, the things where you have to connect algebraic notions to geometric ones, these things aren't taught in school because math enjoyers love them on principle

(though as a topologist, i do love connecting algebraic notions to geometric ones on principle!)

they're being taught because they're so fundamental to physics (and to mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering, but only because those fields rely on physics, which relies on these mathematical concepts)

like you're only being taught these math concepts you hate so much because *physics* is *like that*

(computer science and statistics are also *like that*, what with things like DFT and distributions and such, but the school math curriculum was designed long before computer science and statistics gained such prominence)

(one could also argue that kids are taught math because medical schools require A's in calculus, but I'm low key convinced that this is circular reasoning in that medical schools probably only require A's in calculus because kids are taught math in school, and the A in calculus signals that you actually went to school and paid attention)

(but then your physics teachers get to show you these fun demonstrations and get all the credit while relying on the years of plodding and painstaking work your math teachers have done)

They're here!

The geometry workbook is by a different author, and the pre-calc workbook has a different co-author, but all the rest are matching sets.

My plan is to go back to school next year to get a second bachelor's degree in astrophysics, a dream of mine that I abandoned in my freshman year because I was lazy and depressed and burned out. I eventually graduated with a BA in English, which is by far the greatest regret of my life. After 4½ years of doing nothing but complain about it and wallow in what could have been, I decided last month to get my ass in gear and commit to the field I originally intended back in 2014.

It's been 9 years since I graduated high school, and I've forgotten pretty much everything beyond simple geometry and a vague awareness of trigonometric functions (I've retained no calculus whatsoever). If I'm going to pursue astrophysics, I'm not only going to need to relearn all this math, I'm going to need to master it. I can't just eke by with a passing C, I need to know every subject backwards and forwards while blindfolded. I already have the pre-req credits to get into the advanced math and physics classes for the major, I just need to refresh myself. I was able to pass trig and AP calc and physics back when I was a punkass teenager, I'm sure I can do it again now that I actually give a shit.

I procrastinated all throughout May because I didn't know if I had it in me to master seven courses in one year, but the workbooks all arrived this morning and now I'm feeling a lot better about my chances. Flipping through algebra 1, I've encountered nothing but softball questions like "which is bigger, -5 or -2?" and "find coordinate (1,3) on this graph." I have no doubt in my mind that this is going to be an absolute cakewalk. Like riding a bike, it'll all come back to me as I work my way through it. I can knock out algebra 1 in a few days, two weeks tops, but I'm less confident in my latent geometry skills, so the cakewalk will serve mostly to temper myself for the challenges ahead. If I jumped right into the hard parts, I'd get overwhelmed and give up like I my first time around, so I need to start small.

I'll be deriving and integrating in no time!

mon, 13 nov

i actually struggled a lot today. i went to bed too late and woke up feeling terrible, and i’m getting pms this week so i just felt so gross!! anyways, i got a grip and got to college and i had a massive free today so i did soooo much maths rev. i didn’t get my test back though rip. also, why is the sec x graph so cute?? it looks like a lil ghost face. i got everything done i wanted to, couldve done more, but i didn’t wanna push myself. also look at these cute little yankee candles my dad got me for my birthday!

4hrs on my forest timer today! ◡̈

fascinating watching someone fake being a phycisist as an astrophysics major. girl why are there basic trig equations on ur paper ??? where are ur units ???? girl how is everything a variable do u not have data??? WHY IS THERE AN ECONOMICS GRAPH ON THIS PAPER WHO IS CALCULATING THE EXCHANGE RATE FROM EUROS TO DOLLARS
