    Polynomial-related question (why does this work algebraically?)

    Alright, so this problem has been bothering me for a few days. I've asked three friends for their input, and they're just as stumped as me. I came across this problem in a "college algebra" practice book. What I mean by "this problem has been bothering me" isn't that I'm stuck/haven't found the...

    News Why do USA people vote on republicans?

    Republicans get so many votes because, to put it bluntly, there are a lot of stupid people in America. I'm in a bit of a rush so I don't have much time to make a credible argument, but: http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/birth-certificate-long-form.pdf I'm speechless...

    News Donald Trump as president - is he serious?

    After reading this I retract that comment. That's insane. Edit: Actually I don't know. He still might be the best GOP candidate, but that's not saying much.

    News Donald Trump as president - is he serious?

    Donald Trump would without a doubt be the best GOP candidate for president. I'm a pretty liberal person so I'd rather see a democrat in office but that's probably not going to happen with the way things have been going.

Since then I've been devouring everything I can get my hands on about either subject. I legitimately think physics/astronomy are the two most interesting subjects conceived by the...
