TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

At least you're doing it for a degree.


It's not for a degree, though, is what I'm saying. Calculus doesn't apply to my Masters. I won't need it for my PhD. The only possible chance I could even have to take it is afterward, for funzies.

Yay!  I'm not alone!

Maybe we can start a movement of middle-aged people taking math for fun!

I think I've mentioned it before, but one of my good friends started teaching herself math late in life, and loved it so much that now she's a math teacher.

This seems like the right thread to ask in; in your sig, why is the simplified expression on the left?

I misread your initial question, so I deleted my answer as to not sound pedantic.

I believe the simplified expression is on the left because probabilities, for some reason, are read right to left.

Because this is Bayes' theorem, I believe it's interpreted as "The probability of the event happening is equal to the conditions relating to that event."

Jeez, I hope that was the answer you're looking for.

That is the answer to what I was wondering! Thank you.
