Oh dear, think about.... Wait, how can you even get crushes like that?

Do you imagine him in a bathtub?

It's so awful.  We've been covering his proofs for volumes and surface areas of a bunch of stuff, and then today we saw his proof for the closed formula of the summation of finite squares and it was just so geometric and adorable and brilliant.

And what he does to approximate the area of a spiral... oh my god, oh my god.

And the computation of pi, which stood for 1000 years...

And the exhaustion of the ellipse, and the cone, and, and, and... there's this famous story about how he went into business once and cornered the entire olive press market in one year.  Then he went back to math.

No, I don't imagine him in a bathtub.  I imagine arguing with him.

Actually, arguing is just basically what you do when you're a math student.  There's a very different culture around it in mathematics.

You'll also be with the Romans, who killed Archimedes and probably were the main reason why we didn't get calculus until Newton.

Hey! That roman soldier ignored orders, Roman's cannot be accounted for just 1 person who disobeyed orders.
But you are right.

That's true, and understandable given Archimedes' war machines >_>

Still, I'm not the most fond of the Romans, sometimes.

I actually did send a function that graphs to a heart as a valentines gift to an ex quite a while ago... She didn't appreciate it even after I explained it and typed it into a graphing calculator for her.

@Vector not liking Romans: You can say that again.

Rome was built on the backs of slaves, and all that.

I'm also not very fond of such blatant hedonism and corruption that went on within the Empire.

...Lordy you people are strange.


I used to have a thing for the romans, but now that i'm failing latin....

But that's what makes it so interesting!

That is distinctly uncool, especially if you did more than just the usual "derp, it's a cardioid" thing.

On the other hand... roses, anyone?  Sin(ntheta) for everyone!

Well, yeah, but then the Pythagoreans were a bit of an overreaction to the same problem in Greece.
