klaus, you are wrong as usual.
Well, ds/dt is instantaneous velocity and dv/dt is instantaneous acceleration. Isn't that what klaus said more or less? Well, ok, he missed the instantaneous part ...
the derivative of displacement is is velocity and NOT speed as klaus has said. and acceleration IS NOT the derivative of the speed. It's the derivative of velocity.
BTW, speed is the derivative of the distance, for all you stupid poeple out there.
for you.

I have to add to that. A multiple varible function with a degree of 1 will be a strait line, and a funtion with a degree of 2 will be a parabola IIRC. A multiple varible function with a degree of three or higher will curve up and back down and may repeat depending on the degree.
sorry, just we're going over this stuff in Pre-Cal right now, so I'm kinda into it. [Edited by Knight on 11-26-2000 at 00:51]

ok, correction, a single varible equation will be a strait line, but it will bisect the quadrants of a graph, i.e. x=y will look like / on a graph. Was re-reading that and realized that.
Quarto: Yeah. I've done that a few times myself. Its not so bad, depending on whether or not you're on a roll, that is. Anyways the worst thing about essays is to get off subject - stings worse than losing to Jazz - particularly since you usually think you've done well & then you get your mark &

I find that in general, the less time you have, the better you work, Penguin. Unfortunately, this effect is usually balanced out by the negative effects of sleep deprivation and, of course, subject overdose.
Going off-topic isn't really that much of a problem for me any more (but I'd better be careful what I say, since it usually turns out to be completely unexpected
). I've learned the hard way .

As for the overdose - if its a subject I like, bring on the overdose. If its a subject I don't like I end up usually forgetting most of the stuff in short order anyway.
As for the topic drift I've learned that the hard way too.
klaus: I'm quite aware that we all have our strengths & weaknesses but there's nothing scary about essays. They have a beginning, a middle & an end. The beginning is usually 1-3 sentences that generally explain what you're on about. The middle is where you present your argument, flavored with a few quotes. Pretty easy - just state what you think. And finally the end is your conclusion - a summary of you've just said & your final thoughts on the matter.
Be clear, use paragraphs, try to keep spelling mistakes minimal, have at least 3 quotes/real examples & you'll do fine.

Yeah, well, this last assignment of mine was due on 0900 monday... so I had no weekend, since I also had a few other things to do. Ah, well. Sleeping it off on monday was a great excuse to miss the most boring class ever invented... management <shudder>.
Hmm... a few quotes? What exactly are you studying?
