what? I have all of my calculus, discrete algebra, matrix algebra,
probability, adt, algorithm analysis books from college still (I like to read them for fun)... generally, a capital variable means something completely different than a lower case variable. Usually a capital variable is used as a placeholder for an entire equation -- and is often subscripted. now you stop that. |

Yeh...that's not bad...but I, noticing how well you handle most
subjects, just thought that you might think that nobody here knew the difference. Just doing my duty as a caring reader in holding you to the level that I know you're capable of!...  -- -Gord. (use gordon in email) |

but since a lot of people use word processors to write homeworks, papers,
etc, the small x is reserved as a multiplication function -- thats all |

Eh? I've never heard of such silliness. "x" doesn't stand for
multiplication, once you're past the 6th grade. I'd type "5 times x" as either 5x or 5*x (which is the way it's written when programming). |

Heh. I did the same, and I still have the books, but what's more fun to me is looking through my class notes, and thinking "WTF is this shit??? I actually knew what this meant?" 8) |

Reading college calculus for fun???
Both of you need hobbies that keep you occupied! Consider: - rock climbing - lots of fun, especially if you can get someone else to carry all the paraphernalia up the hill for you. Standing on top and looking down is an instant rush, no drugs needed. - roasting your own coffee - a buddy took this up, roasting small batches now occupies most of his free time. - restoring an obscure car that people today don't instantly recognize and enthusiasts don't normally restore - Lotus Elan, Hillman, Nash Metropolitan, a 1963 Ambassador, Datsun B-210, U.S. spec Carina or Crown. If this is not enough of a challenge, choose a car that is universally known for less-than-stellar reliability, like a Fiat or a Yugo so that when you're finished restoring it, you can immediately start over. - tying flies - One you become proficient, your fellow anglers will mooch off of you and lose them so you will have a constant demand. - take apart two automatic transmissions without instructions, mix up the parts, and then put them back together. -- Ray O correct the return address punctuation to reply |

Fun and enlightenment.
I had a 1977 Datsun 710 with a 78 510 fuel injected engine. Those wheel covers were the ugliest wheel covers I ever saw. Come to think of it, the car was ugly as hell too... it was even orange. For fun I bought a used Yugo years ago for $300. I ended up having to bypass the ignition and I put a button in it to start it. Those Yugo bodies were really hard. |

Whether or not x is a variable or a multiplication sign, I assumed it to be
a variable because that is the only meaning it could have in the context of the equation. I'm having trouble coming up with any value for x other than zero, 5 + 0 = 5, but I'm certain that Richard would never ask such a straight forward question and even think it's a challenge, therefore I must admit that I have to give up on finding a value of x that isn't zero. |
