This is just sad April 25, 2007

Dudes, This is sad. Like really really really sad.

I just went down the the bowels of the observatory and pulled "Textbook on Spherical Astronomy" by W.M. Smart out of the library.

I have to do some Spherical Trig.

The saddest part of all is that I could actually DO this stuff without a book when I was 16. 16!!! Now, at 36, I can’t even remember how to calculate the angle based on a chord….

PULLLEEZZE, I can hardly spell worth sh*t and am scared to death of anything math related - I don’t even know what the heck Spherical Trig is! :)

Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!! She said trig! Oh my god, there are probably sines and cosines lurking out there to haunt my nightmares as well!
