Scientific Notation

Standard Form: 100

SN: 1 x 10^2

Decimal Form: 0.01

SN: 1 x 10^(-2)

.

REMEMBER: non-exponent # first, then exponent number

HACK: think of counting exponents as # of times you move decimal point over. Draw it out and count it physically, even Silly Wizards do it 😜

<<< + exponents

>>>> - exponents

I like to imagine that at the time of his merging with the Distortion he was Michael Shelley, Ph.D

i love the magnus archives season 1 it’s literally just “statement of bill fuckstain regarding the horrible creature that he saw kill all of his friends and family. i actually think this is bullshit, this didn’t happen. what’s crazy though is that following the obituaries from when this statement occurred shows that all of mr. fuckstain’s friends and family died of unknown causes. that’s a little weird maybe he was on drugs. anyway. tim couldn’t find shit and i hope martin chokes on his tea and dies. like and subscribe.”

it's dark in the fortress of meropide.

the duke’s office is quiet, the silence only broken by the soft snores of the man sleeping at the desk. half filled papers and letters are strewn around wriothesley, who is slumped on the table surface, fountain pen still loosely clutched in his grip.

wriothesley doesn't usually drown himself in work, but on certain days he finds himself dealing with maison gestion’s stringent documents, recording each clockwork meka assembled in the production zone. on those days, both of you forgo your usual night routine, and you always head to his office to keep him company as he works.

but today, it appears exhaustion has taken hold of him, and he drifted off to sleep in the middle of work.

you cautiously make your way to his desk, treading with light steps, careful not to make a sound. 

his desk is a mess. you quietly sort the papers as your lover snores away beside you. before long, neat little piles of paper form in front of you. 

you gently pry the fountain pen from his loose grip. the pen is old, and sometimes ink refuses to flow from its nib. you remember telling him so, and bought him a new one to use at his desk. a sleek black body with his name engraved on it in silver.  funnily enough though, that pen never even made it into his office. instead, it sits on the table next to his side of the bed. 

with the desk in front of you tidied, you take wriothesley's jacket, hung over the back of his chair, and cover his sleeping form.

now that everything's settled, you ought to take your leave. you will see him again in the morning. 

you pause. unless…

your bet with sigewinne is still on. 

you pull a sheet of stickers from your pocket. before long, a grumpy monsieur neuvillette has decorated your lover's shoulder. 

you should have stopped there, really, but neuvillette looked so lonely without anyone to accompany him.

running out of flat space to comfortably stick stickers on, you make a daring move. a pleading melusine, right on his cheek. 

its hard to say you felt a little guilty, especially as the grin on your face grew wider and wider as you pasted more stickers on your partner's gorgeous face. a proud-faced bunny here, a sobbing kitten there, and ooh this one has hearts on it how could you not….

before long, the entire sheet of stickers had been plastered onto wriothesley's face. 

at this point, your shoulders are shaking with silent laughter. your palm is pressed to your lips as your other hand reaches over to his eyes to brush his hair away-

and suddenly you find the sky blue irises of the duke staring into yours.

“just what are you up to, darling?”

spiral avatar except it’s just my mechanical engineering professor and he’s saying that these weird shapes are actually letters and that they have value and he just assumes that it makes sense to me

I love that scene in the archives when Kipps needles Lockwood about his family in The Screaming Staircase because the emotions are like:

Lockwood: tense, angry, upset but trying to control himself

Lucy: confused, concerned for Lockwood, frustrated

Mid Unit Reminder

General

(1st inside)^ (exponents 2nd)

Remember PEMDAS

Solving equations with #’s

Ex. (3x + x + y)^3 , x=1, y=2

1st (simplify)^later

(4x + y) ^3

2nd (simplified)^NOW

(4^3)(x^3) + (y^3)

3rd equation solution —> plug in

(4^3)(1^3) + (2^3)

4th solve

256 + 1 + 8

5th solution

266

Would Fibonacci's spiral be a manifestation of the spiral?

Propaganda: besida it being a literal spiral, I FUCKING HATE IT WHY IS IT EVERYWHERE, THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM IT SOMEBODY SAVE ME BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE

This is not exactly the same as, but approximates the Golden Spiral and becomes closer and closer to being identical as it approaches infinity.
