Teacher asks what the integral of sinxdx over (-pi/2,pi/2) is. After about a second of thought I go 0. He says nope. After working on the problem for like 30 seconds he realizes that he put the wrong problem on the board, and the answer to the question actually was 0 and that I was correct.

EDIT: Its a bit annoying how you can't write calculus equations on a with a keyboard  (well, at least I don't know how to), so I might have gotten the phrasing wrong in what I said.

I'm pretty sure you can't write calculus with a keyboard because you'd give some mathophobic a heart attack, or some other silly reason. You've got ^superscript and _subscript tags on the forum anyway.

Well, I want to use the integral.
I could steal it from wikipedia (like so):
But even then I couldn't edit the values to show what I want.
I could do it by hand (or in ms paint or whatever) then upload it but that would be a lot of work.

There is some site out there that probably would let me do it and post the result here, but that would require quite a bit of effort.

You could try typing it into Wolfram Alpha.

The issue was that I wanted to use the integral in my post the same way I would type. In order to use latex I would need to download it, learn how to use it, run it, take a screenshot of the result, then upload it onto a website. Far too much trouble for what I wanted to do IMHO.

Yeah, posting a link to the Wolfram Alpha equation works, but that is sill limited to the site itself, I suppose I could take a screenshot of the equation then upload it to a site then post the picture here, but thats a rather convoluted way to go about it.

[Aklyon]

YOur link is broken.

[lemon10]

Derp, of course it doesn't work, thats not the actual link. Fixed

[Skyrunner]

You could use Microsoft Office's "Equation" feature, which is pretty straight-forward, and screen-shot it and upload it...

[kaenneth]

Somewhere out there is a site like 4chan (imageboard), but instead of picture uploading, it's only got an equation editor.

or at least there should be.

Minor downpour outside.

Hooray!

[Pnx]

So today I went to visit a friend and with her help we recorded what I estimate to be the first half of my biography. We covered My Traumatic Childhood, which starts with the year 1991, the year the gulf war broke out, and includes such subjects as, "The 'joys' of France", and "How Many Times Can This Kid Get Expelled?"

It was awkward, and it reminded me that despite how charming some people seem to think it is, I hate the sound of my own voice, especially when it's being played back to me (because you always sound more nasally than you sound in your head). It felt good to talk about everything though, my friend is going to try to edit it and wants to put it in a podcast, we'll see what happens with that.

Minor downpour outside.

Hooray!

I want this. The sky is always teasing me with dark clouds, but the rain passes by without even a drizzle.

Back in K'zoo, it rained for five days straight. That was a great week.

[MaximumZero]

That's odd, because it's only rained off and on here, and that's only about 25 miles away.

Just watched the 13 episodes of legend of Kora....



epic. Although you need to watch "the last air-bender" to actually get the full story.
