My wife's intro-to-algebra online course has reached the topic of factoring differences-of-cubes polynomials, bringing to me memories of the time I needed to factor a differences-of-cubes polynomial.
My wife's taking an intro-to-algebra online course and got marked off for what seemed like an ambiguous definition. I'm curious what people's intuitions are.
Question was: what is the factoring of the term 4x²y?
Our pet rabbit looks so *affronted* when I swap her litter bin out for the clean one, though.
Just heard there are 21 Star Wars tv series, three of them debuting in 2021, and now I feel tired.
Using the clarity given by a weekend taken off to realize why I do not need to code an index into my array of objects.
I apologize for failing to mention earlier. I did a roundup of the Pi Day jokes on my mathematics blog. Sorry to say none of them got deep into mathematics, even with the space of a Sunday strip available. But there's surely some good to use in a PowerPoint slide:

He earned his wildlife degree and I so hope his thesis was on yak-shaving.
Programming when your code is coming together a little *too* smoothly ...
My wife and I just discovered we each thought the other was saving empty toilet-paper tubes for some inscrutable reason.
So, remember, communication is important even in the tiny things.
