"Even mathematically, we can model a number that only approaches infinity. This simply proves that there is something beyond our grasp; something irrational in our effort to try to rationalize everything in the meta-physical world. "
You probably had seen this quote bouncing around your facebook news feed for the last few days. This is probably one of the highlight quotes coming from Chapter 1 of Infinity, and perhaps even the whole book. If you have a little knowledge in calculus, you should know what I'm talking about here. I'll leave the rest of the interpretation to you guys( which is actually my intention here).
Speaking of calculus, AP calculus next year will be a super nerd-fest. I was slightly disappointed when comp-sci was no longer in conflict with AP calculus. It means that the nerdiest of the nerds(think about it: AP MATH and COMPSCI!!! ...not to mention AP Physics) will be sharing a class with me at least 1/4 of the time next year. They say that the more you spend time with a certain group of people, you are more likely to be influenced by them. Let's just hope I won't get indulged in "Lan Parties" as my main form of entertainment by these future Waterloo students.
Yes, it seems like I'm contridicting myself here. I've been calling myself a nerd for the last couple of posts. And now, I am seemingly refering to them as these "other people" with a negative connotation. WHAT THE HELL I'M TALKING ABOUT?????
Honestly, I don't know either. It's not just me who is sending mixed messages about this word. In fact, almost everyone I know seemed to refer this term with 2 different meanings constantly. So err, take it easy on this 17 year old kid okay?
