    and anyway .9999999999999... is infinitely close to 1 so therefore we just call it one, because the difference is infinitely small

    there is a proof to this but im not in the mood for calc 3 at the moment

    you fucking idiot

    no two real numbers are an "infinitely small" distance apart
    there is a real number between any two real numbers
    there is no real number between .999... and 1.
    Therefore, they are the same number

    qed

    jesus christ what are you in algebra II?

    the entire basis of calculus is based on infinitely small distances, ie 'dx'

    like i said i can write out the proof for this if you guys want me to.

    haha

    oh wow you know calculus too you must be soo smart

    HOWEVER: I am talking about how the real numbers are constructed
    go do some reading on dedekind cuts, cauchy sequences, tarski's axiomization of the reals, cantor's diagonal argument, etc if you want to know what we are talking about here

    the bottom line is that (listen up, this is the important part) the reals are constructed so that there is a real number between any two real numbers

    nuh uh

    You know in my school the younger teachers always seemed more apt and then got worse. Maybe teaching high school actually robs you of your common sense over time.

    The best high school teachers I had were:

    A smoking, smoking hot Spanish 1 teacher. Like, fuck for eight hours in a Peruvian villa hot. She knew how to make Spanish fun, and not just by being eye candy.

    A fresh-out-of-college Gov teacher. The guy'd only been teaching for two years, but he knew his shit and knew how to teach outside of the curriculum.

    The worst high school teachers were:

    My spanish 2 teacher. Absolute opposite of the above; plain, boring, and not a particularly good teacher. She had one class of spanish, and did Gym otherwise. Not a lesbian, though, oddly enough. Totally expected her to be.

    English 2 teacher. Dude was a part of the Apartheid government in South Africa, "moved" to the U.S. after that fell apart. Also, he was gay. Not that I held that against him, or anything. Dude was way too push with his views, though.

    Probably got sick of the business. Most people who have a soul can only do that type of work for so many years before it's time to move the fuck on.

    Either way, to go from that to Teaching means the guy really must like doing it. I had no teachers quite that awesome. >_>

    Similar to my physics teacher who also kicked ass. I forget his position, but he was raking in the cash with PECO and gave it up to teach. The guy knew his shit and made the classes/labs really fun.

    My favorite teacher is my English teacher right now, Mr. Low.

    He is essentially me, but older. We have the same mannerisms, look the same, and talk the same. Everyone who has his class and knows me, <i>everyone</i>, comments on how we must be clones or something.

    It's creepy as hell, and I'm going as him for halloween (Which requires me to just shave part of my beard and wear glasses).
