Moho, I couldn't even imagine going through that — it must have been terrifying. I'm so lucky that there's nothing in my backpack that I need (other than over $400 of stuff). And I'm sorry to ask this, but could you please add extra lines between your paragraphs? It's hard to tell where the paragraphs are in your posts.
Now, on to today's topic: mathematics! Now, as some of you may know, I am very interested in mathematics. I can not underestimate this. If I had to rank my hobbies and passions, I imagine that it would go something like this:
- Learning
mathcalculus - Learning brand new math
- Learning competition-level math
- Learning number theory
- Science and Quiz Bowl (tied)
As you can see, I like math. A lot. Just for those of you who don't know, competition math consists of problems like this one, which is taken from the AMC 12 test:
Let $f(x) = \log_{10}(\sin(\pi x)\cdot\sin(2\pi x) \cdot\cdot\cdot \sin(8\pi x))$. The intersection of the domain of f(x) with the interval [0,1] is a union of n disjoint open intervals. What is n?Can you solve it? Well, luckily for me, it'll be two more years before I'm taking the AMC 12 – which is great, because I can't do that level of problem yet! But it won't be long before I can, and I can't wait. I love doing it, even when I'm getting my ass kicked (though I love it more when I'm winning).
As you can imagine, I also wrote this post to test out the LaTeX engine I installed on the blog. I wonder if it works... Unfortunately, it makes gigantic pictures, but other than that, it's working!
So goodbye everyone, and have a great day!
Also, if you are reading and are not Moho, please leave a comment for what you think Moho's challenge will be. I think she'll do anything short of a felony, if enough people ask.
