Is there a mathematician in the house?
« on: September 09, 2018, 02:20:21 PM »
Or a mathematics teacher or Physicist or a competent mechanical engineer? I've got a relatively simple algebra question but a third-class mathematics education. Can anyone help me? It's more about a strategy than anything I can bone up directly about by myself (already started).

Why not just post the problem here?

I have some math in my background.  I'll take a look if you want.

I counted to 7 math and 4 physics  classes during the past 2 years... I hope the engineering part will start soon...

Actually, if it were written by an English major, it shouldn't be missing a comma and a "that".  ;)

Since when has "buried" been written with a double "r"?
