Makes for more interesting conversation than, say, how a computer monitor works? So you’re saying that this:

And on the alphabet - here’s my view.

a,b,c - pronumerals, and commonly used for functions.
d - described by young william above
e - our friend the exponent
f - common function
g - see f
h - see g
i - unit vector in the x-direction
j - unit vector in the y-direction
k - unit vector in the z-direction
l - length, also as a capital - L - used for quantised anglular momentum in QM
m - mass
n - number, used for summations etc
o - the origin. Not to be confused with 0, the distance from the origin, at the origin
p - momentum, density if you can’t write in the greek alphabet
q - charge, flow rate, and as Q, an imaginary reaction (which can be set to zero IMMIDIATELY following the differentiation of M for dM, and multiplication with M)
r - position vector
s - parameterisation in 1D
t - time
u - alternate representation of x
v - velocity, alternate representation of y
w - total charge due to a dipole in R2 and R3, also alternate representation of z
x - similar to u
y - similar to v
z - similar to w - commonly mated with its friend z(bar) to form an analytic - anti analytic complex pair.

I don’t know if I’d say it is witty prose, but I’m glad to provide (somewhat) relief from such fascinating subjects as Thermodynamics and Stress Analysis. God how I despise exams!!

Blah... Arts students have it so easy... i mean for them a d is just a d, not a dae doe or differential and lets not start on the rest of the alphabet. post again already!!!

Other people in Melbourne may be able to tell you how big it <strong>was</strong>, but alack 'tis mostly gone. If only there were a handy google map integrated into this site so you could see where I am.... Oh, wait a sec, there is one! Try the <a title="Map page, fool!" href="http://www.willmidgley.com/?page_id=4">map page</a> fool! What's doin in your life? Hah, hey sarm,
