Sum [from k=1 to infinity] {((-1)^(k+1))/(2k-1)}  
ZOMG!

How did I miss the fact that it's pi day until now?! Why have I not been more irrational?

WHY?!


::sniffles::


Just because I didn't make any pie doesn't mean I don't love you, pi! I'll make it up to you later!

Joe Gallian Rocks my world  
So tomarrow at 3:30 Joe Gallian will be speaking at Carleton. I cannot even begin to convey how cool this is. This is one of the best math *speakers* in the world, and I'm going to get to listen to him! This is almost as cool as when Conway came (because let's face it, it's hard to be cooler than Conway)!

Because he is just that cool, I'm considering bringing my Abstract Algebra book to the talk and asking him to sign it. But it's occurred to me that he might be uncomfortable with that. So I figured I'd put it up for a poll!

Poll #716443 The "Jissa is an Even Bigger Fangirl Than You Knew" Poll
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 4

Should jissa get Joe Gallian's signature on her abstract algebra text book?

Just how big a dork does this question make jissa?

If I do ask Gallian for his signature will he:

Blame Northfield's motto. "Cows, colleges and contentment" are clearly breeding insanity.

It might be Buffy free enough that I won't recognize the reference.
