Does this mean I get to use my whip now? [smug]*I’ve *finished my homework[/smug]
Ok, Water, you have to keep count…if I lose track, we’ll just have to start again at the beginning (it should improve the math skills at least…)
Maths homework always used to piss me off the most.
I would sometimes confront the teacher and say “In what situation would this type of maths be used by someone in any profession other then a maths teacher?”
The response was often “Well, accountants and engineers use this sort of stuff all the time.”
To which I would reply “Yeah? In what situations?”
The response would then be “Lots of situations.”
Then I’d say “Like?”
The response would then be “Figuring out problems.”
Then I’d say “What sort of problems?”
The reponse would be “maths problems.”
At this stage, I realised that there WAS NO practical use for any of the maths I was learning. Hence, I dropped it.
The class I was shamelessly asking for help in (I got it on my own, no thanks to you people), is called Mathematical Techniques in Computer Vision. I’m convinced that during the course of this class we will touch on just about every field of math ever invented. This is an entire class devoted to learning the necessary math for programming computer vision algorithms. Just figured you might want to know one place where all those various types of math you hated are being used.
matrix to me means maths shapes conversions or pixel postions, but orthogonal means crystal planes…so i wouldn’t have been any help anyway. Did you still want whipping? <g>
…but it’s not part of the fifth rgade curriculum. Ah well; as a teacher, I still have to say: Do your homework! 
…and also as a teacher, I have to correct my typo:
rgade = grade! Grade grade grade!
Snicker.
Yes, I got my homework done, and it turns out I did all the problems right even though I was kinda guessing on some of them because it was stuff we hadn’t covered in class yet. I am a genius. Or at least a smartass.
Oh, and dropzone? I forgot to say this to you:
