Wow! Too much studying. I'm studying for a big compiler exam and was reading this section talking about how to approach things mathematically to help prove a compiler implementation is correct.
When I first saw the title, I thought someone set out how to make an orgasm mathematically correct. I know women do complain about these things and I would be the first to congratulate the geek who could break this magical barrier by using something I can understand better than most things: Math.
Sigh... unfortunately orgasms are an NP-complete task. Something about reachability and satisfiabilty.

Origami is one of my favorite hobbies, but I never thought about it being related to science.
I think we've just found a new entry for the "World's Least Effective Pick-Up Lines Competition" held anually in Reno, Nevada.
Of course, in the rare event that the line actually works, you've found every geek's dream: a soul-mate who will never, ever grow bored of you. ;-)

The plus sign is simply two 1's criss-crossing each other.
The multiplication sign is the same thing as the plus sign, but at a 45-degree angle.
The division sign is a sideways '1' with very small 0's above and below it...

Math doesn't exist in our President's budget proposal, for example...

I usally end up making complex Origami abstract scupltures, which is just another way of saying that I suck at it.

Of course it's held in Nevada. If the line fails, you hit up the whore-house down the road.

This is like saying, "I found a site explaining the engineering in cars. I love cars, but I never thought about it it being related to haute cuisine."

I read the whole article, they do talk about geometry, they do talk about topology, but nowhere do they show you how to make a klein bottle out of paper...

The Good Book clearly states in II Meshugginahs 3:16 that paper cannot be creased, heathen. As with Galileo we must threaten these idolatrous reprobates with excommunication unless they recant their immoral paper-fondling! Glory!
