The Function Song

apcalabstudyblog:

[sung to  The Dreidel Song]

I have a little function
Whose behavior I must find
I know that I can do this
I have to find f prime

Chorus
Oh, functions, functions, functions
Where do they take a rest?
Oh, functions, functions, functions
My teacher is a pest!*                           * alternate line    My teacher is the best!


Where are those pesky cv’s?
Remember ” undefined”!
Where are all the extrema?
How ‘bout a number line!

Chorus
Oh, functions, functions, functions
Where do they take a rest?
Oh, functions, functions, functions
My teacher is a pest!*                          * alternate line    My teacher is the best!

[A quick visit to Social Media]

oldnewwby:

Whenever I’m taking one of my extended breaks from social media (necessary to maintain my tenuous levels of sanity) I come across many things that make me think “if people haven’t heard of this already then they NEED TO KNOW”.

Mostly I just ignore the impulse, but occasionally it’s overpowering enough to justify a brief visit. So with an end to all the ado, listen to this video and marvel.

So it’s just some orchestral music?

Actually this music was written by a computer, a piece of software created this after extended analysis of known human composition throughout the ages. Similar things have been done with another piece of software (‘the painting fool’) which analysed the breadth of known human art and produced this;

Pretty jaw dropping stuff right?

Stupid (read: awesome) Cracked.com gets me so distracted, I was supposed to make lunch two hours ago.

Let’s start at one
And count the days
Let’s hope to God that time flies like they say
Cause this instance can’t distance my heart from yours tonight
But I’m lying awake now and I’m holding your picture
It’s so cold here without you

And I need you now, cause it’s killing me
And I wish somehow, you were here with me
When I fall asleep I feel you with me
Till I fall asleep and you are with me

Could this be more
I’ve been up all night riding subway lines
Now we’re sleeping on your floor

Can we make this a lifetime, you’re all I want right now
Life keeps telling me I need to go
But what if I wanna stay
Cause I’m lost here without you

And I need you now, cause it’s killin me.
And I wish somehow, you were here with me.

When I fall asleep, I feel you with me.
Till I fall asleep, and you are with me

I’ve found a love I’ve never had before, you changed me
And I will wait however long it takes, you changed me
You say the words that I’ve been thinking
I’ll never let you go

And I need you now, cause it’s killing me
And I wish somehow, you were here with me

When I fall asleep, I feel you with me
Till I fall asleep, and you are with me

You changed me.
You changed me.

Blessthefall - 40 days



For an hour and a half today, I cried. The hardest I’ve ever cried. I curled up in a ball, dug my nails into whatever part of my body they were currently touching, and just cried. And the worst part of it is that I know that she’s hurting even worse. I’m so scared for her.

I know I said I’m done with tumblr. I may still be. I’m not sure. All I know is that I had to post this.

I think I’m just going to go drown myself in music and calculus. Maybe some coding. But I have to drown myself in something, or else I’ll just drown myself in tears.

It’s only day one. I don’t know how many days lie ahead. But I hope to God that time flies like they say.

So, I didn’t want to have to resort to this

However, my girlfriend has issued the challenge.

I’m looking for new people to follow, and more people to follow me.

Reblog/like/follow/message if you have an interest in the following/post the following/like to talk about the following/whatever the following

  • Asking Alexandria
  • Paramore
  • Memphis May Fire
  • Blessthefall
  • Bones
  • Castle
  • Once Upon A Time
  • How I Met Your Mother
  • Barney Stinson; Neil Patrick Harris
  • My Little Pony (I refer to the brilliance of the artwork, the innocent comedy, and the positive vibes sent by the TV show; if you look at this and say “Oh no, not an another obnoxious brony”, you’re looking at it from the wrong angle)
  • Sarcasm
  • Humor in general
  • Computer Science
  • Programming
  • Intellectual anything (I’d really like to be more exposed to the intellectual blogs here on tumblr - I know they exist)
  • Politics (I don’t consider myself a part of any political party; I have promised myself I never will. When I say politics, I simply mean posts about the issue, and perhaps logical discussion about the issue rather than bickering arguments)
  • SMBC-Comics/Theater
  • We Came As Romans
  • House
  • (Actually, any music/tv/interests I list on my page)
  • Everquest
  • RPGMMO’s in general
  • Skyrim
  • Fable
  • History ( I particularly like WWII, Vietnam, Roman/Greek, mythology, but there is so much history that is so interesting regardless)
  • Psychology (Specifically, cognitive psychology, social psychology, psychology experiments, psychology history, etc. However, I think all of it is amazing. I took intro to psych last year and I would take it 100 times again)
  • Thousands of other stuff comes to mind, but I think it would take hours to list everything and I really need to get back to work

I always follow back, for what it is worth.

If you found this from someone’s reblog or from some tag and there is something you’re wondering if I’m interested in - to talk about, to blog about, to whatever about, feel free to send me a message.
