You forgot Bob's Law: 0.39M = V

This gives you the perfect meat-to-water ratio in a slow cooked beef stew.

What's really nuts to me is I always wanted to know how did that equation come to pass. Teachers generally just say put X into Y and whatever. I hated it.

I don't know if you get that, but it was always don't give me the formula, I want to see the math. Most people probably don't, I get that. That's why I hated my teachers lol.

I can honestly say that besides Pythagoras’ Theorem I have rarely (if ever) used any of those in real life.

There was a time in my life that I could have told you a lot about some of these. As my age has progressed and my need for higher math has waned most are just a bunch of greek letters again! I could not even imagine how far back I would have to start to re-train myself...

I think “Calculus” would be better represented by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

Once you realize the relationship between anti-derivatives and indefinite integrals, Calculus becomes a breeze.
