Reading list

Don’t be dissing diffy q’s and at that double and triple integrals!

@TG:

If you don’t know what’s a differential equations you’re a failure as a humain being.

Grrr… if you know differential equations then you don’t deserve to be a human being.

I was just quoting Falwell, but i put “don’t know what’s a differential equation” where it was “are not born-again christian”.

:lol: I could tell you were being sarcastic the first time. :wink:

@TG:

Bonfire Of The Vanities… hmmm… what’s it about? :)

It’s about chasing money and status within the insanity of 1970s New York City – specifically the up-in-smoke South Bronx.

BY THE WAY – for anyone interested in the actual in-war experience, from the infantryman’s point of view:::::

Slaughterhouse Five – Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.: he lived it then wrote about it (WWII Europe)
The Naked and the Dead – Norman Mailer: lived it then wrote about it (WWII Pacific)
All Quiet on the Western Front – dont’ know the author but it is the German footsoldier’s view of WWI.

Slaughterhouse Five is a good book. :)
He wrote the book during the firebombing of Dresden, correct?

Here is my current list of reading material that I have: ^^

Seven Days in May
Fail Safe
Pride and Prejudice
Socrates, Buddha, Confucius, Jesus

All are great reads, depending the mood that I am in. ^_^

You read Jaspers!??? :o

No… Socrates, Buddha, Confucius, Jesus is actually a philosophical book written by Karl Jaspers

and she says she’s not well read enough to be a “young lady” …… :)

ZimZaxZero, Eric Remarque. He was drafted into the German army during WW1.

Falk, what the hell are diferential equations?

Yanny, Budha never wrote anything and I believe we no longer have anything Socrates wrote, but I might be wrong.

I’m pretty sure you’re right Yourbuttocks, i don’t think anything that Socrates wrote still survives today.

Am I the only one who lives and dies with world war two books? awesome BArbarossa by alan cooke, rommel by ron lewin, panzer leader by heinz guderian??? I think alan cooke also wrote another really good book I liked called stalingrad…?? I also love to read junk novels. ra salvatore, loius lamore ect.

but for young adults I think they need the variety we were all forced to endure:
of mice and men
romeo and juleit, hamlet and ottello
fahrenheit 454
1984
and I had to read ernest hemmingways biography, he was a very interseting man, although I never actually liked the old man and the sea, or whatever it was we were forced to read.

I think this variety is good, so that you can make your own descisions about what you think of the world. I had this variety and I think the wiorld still sucks, so who can say otherwise? although at the time it did embed a liberal streak that it took several years of hard labor to rid me of.

ewwwwww don’t want that to happen to me. :x

Falk, what the hell are diferential equations?

What math do you take? :-? It’s mostly taken from calc…

That would be me. :)
I always find a good read in Seven Days in January, With our Backs to Berlin, and Hitler’s Invasion of Russia.

I am taking Geometry/Trigonometry (SIN and COS, what joy)

Ha, you’ll see plenty of diff. equations once you start taking calc, which is quite honestly easy compared to some of the other stuff ahead. I hate graphing! :x

Higher math is so useless.

I still believe Newton invented Calculus simply to feel superior to everyone else.

man, give your head a shake.
Not only does it help explain Physics, but it describes much in Chemistry, and it is essential in economics.

You’re going to need it if you want a career in any type of engineering… :-?
