Sadly most do old Chap! That, & move the decimal point one place to the right on days ending with a y

Was revising vibration systems as I had a test on it today, and just felt like talking complete b****cks for a while.

"as time reaches infinity"?

how do we know it's reaching infinity? Infinity is infinite. It also doesn't exist, so how do we know that ANYTHING is reaching it

"derived from the roots of the systems characteristic equation"?

which is what exactly?! what is the systems characteristic equation that we need to take the root of?

however, it is now friday and therefore approaching beer time, which sadly is a finite time that shall end at some point before the evil root of 900 (measured in hours of the day that is known as monday).

unless of course, like me, you're off next week

How big is infinity? IIRC that's part of how two seemingly different infinite series' are actually equal although it's been a good 5 years since I last did maths so I might be wrong!
