<p>clearly!!! oh i'll get one of those soon</p>
<p>LOL!! imiracle!</p>
<p>Talk about insult to injury.</p>
<p>that's pretty funny</p>
<p>Lmao, I can't believe there is a debate over limits here.</p>
<p>I generally avoid debating math on message boards (partly because I always lose, and partly because it's just plain wierd!!).</p>

a "normal keyboard" Are there keyboards out there with fraction buttons, arrows, integrals, directives, greek letters, etc?</p>
<p>Now that would be pretty wicked. Actually, you'd still need something like TeX...

<p>Or [url=<a href="http://www.mathtype.com/en/products/mathtype/%5DMathtype%5B/url">http://www.mathtype.com/en/products/mathtype/]Mathtype[/url</a>], TeX for the OCD biology major ;)</p>
<p>yea... mathtype 5 has hotkeys for functions etc.</p>
<p>Forgot to say this earlier, but about the actual reason for the post (ahem) -- I guarantee it's in no way as exciting as actually getting a tube. It's just a very small thing.</p>
<p>And it's fine to email me Friday afternoon sometime, if you're planning to call MIT, but I have a final in the afternoon (boooo histidine), so I will probably not be checking CC between Friday morning and Friday when-I-do-what-I-am-doing. :)</p>
<p>wow, supersticious, won't say what ur doing... or maybe just cryptic, either way, it won't matter to me :)</p>
<p>Yeah LaTeX is awesome. I would like to see a math keyboard, though.</p>
<p>mollie, you don't like histidine? I agree, valine takes the cake.</p>
<p>markup >> WYSIWYG</p>
<p>TeX is faster and looks better (for now at least)</p>
<p>Last call for real names! :)</p>
<p>...did anyone get his or her surprise yet?</p>
<p>well, I don't think I have, yet.</p>
<p>Uh - not that I can tell.</p>
<p>Well, danielsuo got his, so I think you guys should be expecting them in the next few days.</p>
<p>They took a long time 'cause I am lazy. :)</p>
<p>just to be really picky... </p>
<p>the limit of the absolute value of 1/x as x goes to 0 is in fact infinity... </p>
<p>the particular point of interest here is that the function 1/x has two different values as x approaches 0+ and 0- (values infinity and -infinity respectively) and a very common definition with respect to limits is that a limit does not exist if at a point k, values for f(x) differ as x approaches k+ and k-.</p>
<p>mollie, what was the surprise?</p>
<p>but he did say limit 1/x , x approaching (lim 1/x x =0)
obviously lim 1/x x=0 is inifinity
and obviously lim 1/x x --> infinity is zero.
so he was correct...</p>
<p>sent in my name, but I never got any "surprise"... what happened with this?</p>
