Another Maths Metaphor.

by Nicholin @ 2008-05-16 - 22:37:36

Differential equations. One of the hardest bits of my upcoming pure maths exam. And something I never want to do. In my last lesson with a certain maths teacher today, my brain made the connection between this hard method, and the friends I keep.

You see, with differential equations you have everything together, all messed up, the X's with the Y's. But then you have to seperate them, so on either side of the equals sign, you have X's and Y's. Nice and neat. It's what is called 'seperating the variables'. And then you intergrate to get an similar equation, with the X's and the Y's together again in harmony.

Now, this is similar to my friends because some how I'm getting the feeling that I have to keep my friends seperate. I have to take the X's to one side, and the Y's to the other. Seperate the variables.

For a long time I always thought that I was being stupid. Having two different faces for different people. Then, on one occassion just before these two groups of people came into contact, one person said to me, "Don't take offence, but I don't like her much." Which grated me slightly at the time, but then I thought, 'That's fine, I mean, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Right?'

However, like I said I hate differential equations, and this seems to be one big one that I have gotten stuck on. I have seperated the variables, but now I can't seem to complete the question, to get one equation with the X's and Y's together.

*sigh*

Again, I am over thinking things. I've been happy so far with this - why should it bother me now?

In other news:

- I now have hot water and central heating. Yey!
- The exam period has started - two yesterday and one next wednesday and then loads after halfterm.
- I'm been a relativley happy chappy.

:D
