Renton 17629 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 What were quadratic equations again? I seem to remember them being a pain. I hate hate hated the quantitative methods statistical shit I had to do for my degree. Didn't understand it and have no idea how I passed the exam. 195230[/snapback] Quadratic equations have x squared in them, e.g. y = x^2 + 2x+ 3 Get in, a maths thread!

How does that work when you don't know GCSE maths. ax^2+bx+c = 0 where the solution is (-b+/-SQRTb^2-4ac)/2a or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34187 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 My hero Alan Brazil says it. More insensitivity from him this morning re Mike Parry - Parry had a heart attack and had to have bypass surgery a year or two ago. Anyway, Andy Townsend was on this morning explaining how him and Parry had gone out for a couple of drinks after their show last weekend and when Parry hadn't turned in on time he'd been a bit worried. Brazil comes out with "Oh yeah. You thought he might be at home on the floor. Heart. Exploded." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
