Uh Oh... (the new excerpt!)

I'd rather be my own little evil one... I'm NOT one of the Lone One's mindless minions.

Nah.... I think I'll pass....

i am HEE HEE HEE (well not in the RPG, but maybe I should become one!)

Responses to various discussions on this thread:

Re "Uh Oh": I seem to recall that certain (older) Macintosh computers 'said' "UhMaxwell equations' [which, along with the 'Lorentz force law,' completely describe classical electromagnetism]).

*cough* Physics person*cough* What a scientific mind! I think that's the worst thing about trig... I know I have to have it, so I do it, but I really don't like it. I can't just hate it and not do it! And I have "practical difficulties" in geometry. (In my Math report last year "Tui has done very well in a topic she has practical difficulties in." Thanks, Mrs Francis...) But geometric algebra? Sounds GOOD (maybe I'll get it right!)
You could copy? I tried to copy the text (for the exact same purpose. I wouldn't hand it out or anything) but it wouldn't do it for me (which didn't really bother me. I wasn't interested enough to type it out). And you think June...hmmm. That's quite soon. Yay!

Thanks for the compliment, Birdhead! <Insert self-deprecatory remarks here>

I didn't have any trouble copying the text --your problems may be caused by your browser (I was using Opera at the time).

Best of luck with getting along well with trigonometry --I don't remember being terribly enamored with it myself on our first encounter (though I don't think that I had a very good textbook), but we now are on excellent terms.

Just so you know, the use of algebra to solve geometry problems (and vice versa) is called 'algebraic geometry' (though I rather like the term 'geometric algebra' myself).

....Maxwell equations' (which, along with the 'Lorentz force law,' completely describe classical electromagnetism)

Actually, you can derrrive the Lorentz force law from the Maxwell eq's....
(If you are going to get physical, I will get physical....)

[Nathan]

Wilf (to continue the physics discussion): While I know that one can obtain the 'usual Lorentz force' (i.e., the one with the BF = qE), which I didn't realize it was possible to get from Maxwell's equations (though such a derivation is certainly something for me to look forward to seeing if it is indeed possible).

thankyou for the link db_pr.
