hello =)

I know I've been here before, I was registered too, but lost my login =P

Anyways, hello everyone!

I'm 20, and studying math and physics at university, was hoping this place could be a bit of help, hehe. Currently reading linear algebra and integration methods. Fun, but hard ;]

Nice to meet you all.

Re: hello =)

Seinfeld? It's latin for divinity, divine will; god, deity. Should've been numenloop, but I got lazy writing it, hah.

Re: hello =)

Found it on Wikipedia: Numina ("presence", singular numen) is a Latin term for deity and conveys the sense of immanence, of the sacred spirit that informs places and objects in Roman religion.

Also, the word "number" comes from the Latin numerus. Very close.

Re: hello =)

I think linear algebra's kind of strange, and I don't like the look of it...
