Is a tangent of a tangent really a tangent?

[Anduril]

I had 2 apples then I ate one, now I have 1. And Bobby over there is sitting on his apples; I really hope he doesn't eat them.

Tangent: A description of a line that touches a circle or other curve at one point only. Example- Line segment BC is tangent to circle A.

"The Tangent is a musical project that involves seven of the most dedicated progressive musicians today. The band consists of Roine STOLT, Jonas REINGOLD & Zoltan CZSORZ (all from The FLOWER KINGS), Sam BAINE & Andy ALLISON (from PARALLEL Or 90 DEGREES), Guy MANNING (MANNING), and ex VDGG sax/flute player David JACKSON. A line-up that historically spans the whole of the progressive music era". Rubber baby buggy bumpers.

Technically, a tangent line can touch a curve more than once... For instance, a sine wave.

oh yay, more math threads ;/

I don't mind math, out of core classes it's actually my favorite. Just don't like talking about it everyday. Yer comment remind me of an xkcd comic though.

That's a lie, consdiering that in physical form numbers are imperfect. 2+2 could equal 4.2 or 3.9 in the real world.

I know, but regardless Math is a lie! It only works properly in the minds of Freaks like Math Teachers.

A* what?

[Out_Kast]

A* = A+.
It's just something we have over here. :?

* is usually denoted to mean the times symbol when typing out math problems, so you don get times (x) and the letter x mixed up, I thought it was some clever joke on your math teachers part, guess not http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

Sorry to disappoint you. (;

[Sord]

no your not

[Anduril]

*peels a banana and eats it* So... Tangents. Not so much. Looks more like a math thread. I blame myself in part for continuing it.

Hmm... you're probably right.
My maths teacher makes me do curly X's anyway, as to not get muddled up with the Times symbol.

[Sord]

we use centered dots, but if someone sucks at vertical alignments, they look like decimals, which kind of defeats the purpose of not using an x

[Randomness]

I use dots pretty much all the time, but mine are larger, more a tiny filled in circle, as oppose to decimals, which are quick taps of the pencil.

In calculus, I have so many Xs in most problems that it wouldn't work to use the normal times sign. I haven't used the division sign in ages, I always write it as a fraction.

[Out_Kast]

The division sign is ugly anyway.
A forward slash will suffice.

I use that when showing that I'm deviding a fraction, otherwise just use fractions

[Out_Kast]

Hmm... I guess something like (12 over 23) over (4 over 7) would create an eyesore on the page.
I haven't done fraction work in a while.

hey, where does your sig come from, it keeps bugging me ;/

No, I was talking about Out_Kast's sig

Out_Kast's sig is... non-existant it seems.

In other news, I did not know multiplication symbols were so popular. Last few years of math I took, we just dispensed with them altogether (parentheses if absolutely necessary).

[Out_Kast]

My sig?
There's... nothing there, except 'SWFup isn't working ._.'

I just did a Wild Tangent about PSPizzle in that other thread before seeing this one.

W0LB0T is correct!
