it was Newton, he's to blame!

"As a student, frustrated by the limitations of conventional mathematics, he invented an entirely new form, the calculus, but then told no one about it for twenty-seven years."
-pg. 46 (A Short History of Nearly Everything) <-- my favorite textbook (maybe b/c it's not even a textbook)

Psh, but couldn't keep his mouth shut long enough (i.e. forever), could he? ;P

Heh, anyway, I think I always knew he was the one but the knowledge was somehow forgotten amidst the test-induced violent tendencies expressed in daydreams of strangling the inventor of calculus.

Back to hw.
