Wait, this is bugging me. sqrt(a*b) = sqrt(a) * sqrt(b) iff a,b are non-negative reals. So the third equality doesn’t hold.

The sqrt of (-1)(-1) is the sqrt of 1 which is 1.

However, you have to “pull out your eyes” as I told my students before you perform actions with the next grouping.

sqrt (-1) has to be rewritten as sqrt(-1)(1) which is   i sqrt 1, which is i(1), which equals i

i times i does equal i squared which equals -1.

However, it is incorrect to state (sqrt -1)(sqrt -1) and work with it before pulling out the imaginary component. Sqrt (-1)(-1) is not the same thing as you have written by breaking it up. Imaginary numbers don’t work that way. You can only use properties of real numbers after you have removed the sqrt(-1) part, which is i.

i've never visited my dad's grave. is that weird?

Tuesday October 27, 2009

i didn’t plan it that way.  i just haven’t ever made it happen.  it’s a long drive, and i don’t have any kind of strong emotional attachment to the place or to graves in general.  but then, people i know do things like put flowers out for people on memorial day and little flags for flag day and they clean things up and make things pretty and plant flowers and maybe that’s the responsible thing to do? i don’t know.

you being in love - ee cummings

Monday October 26, 2009

carmenlsigman:

northside-pie:

you being in love
will tell who softly asks in love,

am i separated from your body smile brain hands merely
to become the jumping puppets of a dream? oh i mean:
entirely having in my careful how
careful arms created this at length
inexcusable, this inexplicable pleasure-you go from several
persons: believe me that strangers arrive
when i have kissed you into a memory
slowly, oh seriously
-that since and if you disappear

solemnly
myselves
ask "life, the question how do i drink dream smile

and how do i prefer this face to another and
why do i weep eat sleep-what does the whole intend"
they wonder. oh and they cry "to be, being, that i am alive
this absurd fraction in its lowest terms
with everything cancelled
but shadows
-what does it all come down to? love? Love
if you like and i like, for the reason that i
hate people and lean out of this window is love,love
and the reason that i laugh and breathe is oh love and the reason
that i do not fall into this street is love."

My favorite ee cummings after In Just.

<3

i think this was the first artist who was presented to me as an example of what can happen when someone knows rules, understands rules, breathes the rules, and then breaks the rules and uses them against themselves.  i love how he uses the words against themselves.
