i’d hang this up in my room if i had a poster of it.

….i would’ve said penis but okay, looks like a bird sure.
Testing and Greek Letters
So I added MathJax to my blog so I can write TeX expressions and it’ll be rendered in all it’s mathematical glory. This is just a test using MathJax of something I learned today.
The greek alphabet is a little effed up. First I think it’s weird that Zeta \[ \zeta \] occurs as the sixth character of the alphabet. Or maybe it’s the other way around and it’s weird that Z is the 26th character of our alphabet. Regardless, inconsistencies. I also found out of the existence of the character “Upsilon” \[ \Upsilon \] which kind of sounds like Epsilon’s retarded cousin, but even more annoying: The lowercase Upsilon \[ \upsilon \] looks like the lowercase Nu \[ \nu \]
Seriously Greeks. Seriously.
Also, despite my google returning results for \[ \LaTeX \] even if I don’t make it case-sensitive, tumblr does not. Note to self, do not search for posts on tumblr tagged with “latex”
as of late
haven’t really been up to much lately…i sleep a lot (10 hours at least) but still feel tired all the time. blame it on finals :(
i’m taking the physics subject GRE in october, and considering i don’t know like…half the topics (thermodynamics/stat mech, lagrangian mechanics, atomic physics, particle physics, condensed matter physics, etc) i’ve been starting to study them. it’s a little annoying having to study again since i just finished taking finals, but you gotta do what you gotta do…
other than studying, i’ve been sessioning more lately. my body is healthier than it used to be which is pretty good. i’ve also been trying to learn how to use LaTeX so i might start posting some more mathy/sciency things up here.
good bye junior year…it was fun…
