#math

<Pieg> ?
<int-e> yes
<Pieg> what about ^4 and above?
<Trixsey> x^152
<Trixsey> is called
<Pieg> english isnt my native language and i only know the swedish terms
<Trixsey> x hafaumbracutated
<Trixsey> :P
<Trixsey> lol
<Trixsey> Alla har inte namn :P
<Pieg> jag menar inte specifika namn s?klart, jag menar "upphºjt till" p? engelska ;D
<Trixsey> power
<Trixsey> ?r det
<Pieg> x power to 152?
<joblot> Pieg: x^88 is x to the 88th =eighty-eight-th
<Trixsey> the 152nd power of x
<Trixsey> I think
<Trixsey> right, joblot?
<Pieg> so lets say a math teacher wanted to say x^25, how would he say it?
<joblot> Trixsey: that's correct and just fine
<Pieg> the 25th power of x? or x to the 25th?
<mindwarp> x to the 25th most likely
<mindwarp> both seem correct to me
<Trixsey> The 25th power to x
<Pieg> alright guys, thanks, and another thing, how do you guys pronounce tangens?
<joblot> Trixsey: the 25th power __of__ x
<Trixsey> oops
<mindwarp> Pieg: if you go to http://m-w.com/dictionary/tangent you can click on the little speaker icon to hear the pronunciation
<TrollAndProud> Fosters -- Australian for Tangens
<Trixsey> Pieg, "tangens" finns inte p? engelska
<TrollAndProud> tangents
<Pieg> oh, thanks ;D
<TrollAndProud> Oops, sorry I thought you were Australian
<Trixsey> He's a Swede :D
<Trixsey> Guys, a good algorithm to count chars in strings in a matrix?
<Trixsey> since I check them vertically, the chars
<Trixsey> and not horizontally
<Pieg> hm, another silly question, did any of you guys learn about matrices in highschool?
<Trixsey> hrmss
<Kasadkad> Yeah
<Trixsey> maybe in math course E
<Kasadkad> We looked at them in precalculus
<joblot> Pieg: no
<Kasadkad> I always thought that was kind of silly
<Trixsey> its possible, but I don't remember :P
<Trixsey> Pieg, which grade are you in now?
<Kasadkad> Why bother with matrices if you aren't going to teach linear algebra
<Trixsey> Matrices are useful in other areas too
<Trixsey> such as vector stuff
<Trixsey> programming, sometimes
