Stats, Maths, Factorials, Differentiation, Integration & GOD

Right now, in anticipation of being swamped by assignments due in the next couple of weeks, I’ve decided to start the easiest one first, STATS! Gosh doing this reminds me of how much I’ve missed maths through high school, even though I was never top of the class ( I blame that on being slack) but God has blessed me with the ability to grasp the concepts quickly.

 

For example back when I was in standard one (year one primary school) in Malaysia, I had a maths test and was preparing for it the night before, and as my loving mother likes to do, she would go through questions with me to help me study. So I came across this question and was doing it rightly according to the teachers at school, but mum said it was wrong and after much argument, gave in to her. Next day when I did the test, similar question came up, answered it the way my mama taught me, and when I got my test back… the mark I got was shocking! 99% can you believe it… so I scoured through the test to see where I lost that one mark… no surprises.. the question my mum said I was wrong and she was right, turns out SHE WAS WRONG AHHAHAHA! Always use this small anecdote against my mum to proof to her mum’s not always right ahahah

 

Well back to stats, I enjoy stats! Quite fun, even though I’m quite rusty at it, bear in mind in first year uni, I failed 2 inclass stats test, but still manage to get a high distinction at the end of the unit because I decimated the final exam Hahah :)

 

So onto the continuation of God analogies that I was hinting about in the previous post, and as some of you might have figured out, I can see God in maths…. thats right :P … Actually I’ve only got 2 examples but here goes….

 

Example one:

This is the most recent one I’ve thought up, kinda interesting, nothing to deep, it’s got to do with this formula

0! = 1

So the story goes like this:

  • In the beginning there was nothing (0)

  • Then God Spoke (!)

  • And he created the world (1)

Haha see told you It wasn’t too deep, anyways you can click here for an explanation of factorials and how zero factorial equal one

 

Example two:

This is my brainchild that started it all, and I’ve shown Mabel this a year or so ago, although it was quite a rudimentary version but an understanding of differentiation/integration will be required. I’m not the best of teachers, so I guess for those who don’t really know what differentiation or integration is can go over to wikipedia for a brief course (I havn’t gone there to look so don’t go complaining to me if it still leaves you lost as to what the hell this is about)

Okay… I’ve hand written this, and some people think my handwriting is terrible and some think its cool in a weird way but nonetheless, It might be a bit hard to follow (forgive me its 2:35am) and I thought I post this to prevent me from procastinating from urgent assignments later on in the next 2 weeks :) Enjoy!

 

p/s if it really is incomprehensible or too complex to understand, I’ll probably post up a much more refined and clearly defined version in the holidays :)

No fancy title today

Interesting week this has been, but can’ t come up with a fancy-schmancy title to go along with it. Probably cause all my creative juices has been squeezed out to satisfy the thirst of a 2500 word essay that was screaming at me that was due on Monday. You figured I would have learn my lessons from 19 and a half years of procastination in work, well I did try :) I actually started doing the research and readings 2 weeks before it was due.. but lo and behold I find myself unable to hand it in for the dead line, and since it would be counted a day late, I might as well use that day to do a better job. AND I DIDN’T! I find myself fallling asleep waking up at 4 am and rushing the next 4 hours and 55 mins to get it in before 9am… Oh well, have a stats assignment, presentation, an essay and a lab report due in next 2 weeks… so I better get all these done soon if I want to really enjoy myself on MAY 16th when HALO 3 BETA gets released! yay!

Speaking of Halo 3…. I’VE pre-ordered myself a copy of the legendary edition from JB-Hi Fi

Halo 3 Legendary Edition

Can’t wait till its release at the end of November, and man it would be such a treat as that would mean EXAMS WILL BE FINISHED and potentially could mark the end of Uni for me depending on how I go with this job offer…

A job offer of which I’m not really at liberty to share with, except for very close family and friends, to those who know who you are please keep it hush hush for me :) But nonetheless its one step closer! THX GOD!~!~~ (as my hong kong friends like to write in their blogs) :lol:

Sometimes it just sounds funny, but sometimes it fits … But then again, their English is much better then my cantonese or chinese so shouldn’t really make fun of them :roll:

Also been thinking about stuff about random stuff and how it is analagous of God, life, relationships etc….  Probably will make a post when I have a lot more substantial stuff, but so far what I’ve thought about is quite interesting :P   till then :)

Early to bed, early to rise…

Makes you healthy, wealthy and wise!

Whoever created this saying deserves to be chainsawed ala Gears of war… MuAHAHAh

Let’s put it this way, for the past week I’ve been following this principle that if at night I find myself unable to do work, and end up idling about, it makes more sense to sleep early and be well rested.. since I have so happen to find a niche of optimal study time about 9-10am.

9-10am being the time I usually wake up, unless I’ve got work or some other commitments which is what happen most of the time, resulting in little or no work done. So I thought the way to overcome it is by training myself to wake up even earlier, so I could at least get an hour of solid work done before having to head out… BUT NO I still find myself waking up at the same time regardless of how early or late I sleep. Oh well, whoever says the early bird gets the worm never considered the worm who woke up early.

In other things, idling about has been playing football manager 2007, but I’ve put that on a temporary hiatus…. Been playing lots and lots of Halo 2, too much maybe, but it’s all in anticipation for the beta of Halo 3 due on May 16…. My internet connection better be stable then, and also hopefully I would have finished most of my assignments and essays early so I can enjoy halo 3 :)

I’ve also taken a liking to showering in the dark, Thanks Brian for somewhat suggesting it to me a few months ago! Actuallly only started doing it last night, but it just seems to be so muhc more easier to think things through… It a surreal experience, probably surpasses my white throne moments which to those who are clueless will one day be enlightened :)

Okay, now that I’ve found myself idling playing Geometry Wars for the past half hour, I think I shall enact my sleep-instead-of-idle-cause-can’t-seem-to-do-work :)
