Also, since you enjoy Mathematica so much, look up the definition of "principal square root" and post it here. Specifically the second sentence.

As I said in my response, I was a co-op for an intelligence agency during my jr and sr years in college. I was offered a job when I got out of school, but I instead (maybe stupidly) chased the money that was being thrown around during the dot-com bubble. Contracts lasted on average about 2 years a pop, and often I worked 2 at the same time. That is why I worked for so many companies that span.

Why don't you post the link, so I know what specifically you are talking about?

Which OP are you referring to? I don't think I brought up intel stuff in either of these two threads. That was probably dug up in my history from when somebody on the politics board said something bogus about the intel business.

Why does the quadratic formula imbed the +/- in it, if the sqrt symbol means both already?

Good point. I wish I thought of that.

Because you can either add or subtract both square roots of the discriminant and arrive at the same answers.

Notice it does not say "plus and minus".

Both parents were.

I'm starting to get curious how these guys did in their classes.

I had Art for cal 253 my first fish semester at A&M. Talk about walking into being out of place. Those sophomores and juniors all looked at me like I was Doogie Howser or something. Then the professor starts talking like a pirate...

No, I think it was just to keep the dry erase marker ink off of his hands when they took the chalkboards out.

I notice aTmAg didn't get the absolute last word on this thread. Not for lack of trying.

I admit I really enjoyed this thread.

With every contradicting post, I was switching my allegiance as to who was right.
