grr.
my mother kept me at my calc studies for an extra hour.
she decided to go off an a mathematical tangent... when i was on the third-to-last problem in the set i had to do (50 questions), and kept on and on with this tangent (it was, incidentally, about finding the nth roots of complex numbers using sines and cosines) for an hour.
then i had to finish my problems, and there was one neither one of us could get for a while, so, after making me factor, square, and invert the thing, without any luck, she let me go. (the problem, incidentally, involved finding the limit of a function as it approached zero. it needed to be manipulated so that there was no division by zero.)
... and she just came bursting in here yelling the russian equivalent of "eureka!" and saying she'd figured it out, which i'd also managed to do on the way up the stairs.
not that i'm bitter or anything.
anyway.

tangent.
the pun is the lowest form of humor.
yeah, anyway.
pleasant dreams
