$a = \frac{16 - xistar}{2} = 8 - \frac{xistar}{2}$
why is there no explanation of any of this? Is it so easy only an idiot would not be able to see what is happening? I hae gone over this a dozen times and I don't get it
The ith horizontal streip of the dam is approximated by a rectangle with height delta x and width wi where from similar traingles in Figure 3b
I don't get it
what the heck does that mean?
and so $w_i = 2(15+a) = 2(15 + 8 - \frac{1}{2} xstari) = 46 - xistar$
why is the width 46 - x star i
It doesn't make sense, there must eihter be a mistake or something isn't being explained
I hate paul, I don't think I hate anything more than him
Wait, I hate Stewart more, Stewart is even worse because he became incredibly rich off writing incredibly bad text books
Hopefully Paul is living in his one bedroom apartment alone with his misery
this is impossibke
paul is an idiot
$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{a}{4-xistar}$ is impossible
a constant can't always be equal to a variable like that
this site isn't active enough
this is the first question I have of 50
gdfs
I don't know what to do
I am going to write an email to paul telling him why he is an idiot
thuis is increidblyt frustarting
I can't learn this stuff from any of the resources I have but I have a quiz on it tomorrow
I failed the test today so I need to do well on the quiz to have a chance at passing
this is why I hate math so much
these problems are so useless anyways

@jordan Stop complaining in this manner. We are very sick and tired already.
 
you would never use any of this math
what else would I do?
I need help and I can't get it anywhere

And just to let you know, I did not flag you the last time you got suspended in chat.
 
user19161
Your time is better spent doing what you have to do than whining in this manner.

I can't do iit though
I need help on it
 
user19161
Seriously you need to change your whole attitude, this will be the last time I say it.
 
11:41 PM
I am so screwed unless I learn all this tongith for a quiz tomorrow
I don't understand why my attitude matters
I am here to learn but people are more interested in down voting questions for improper formatting than teaching people
this is why I fail all my tests, I just waste my entire day in here getting nothing done
 
@Eugene 'sup dawg?
 
nothing much
hi @marvis!
 
11:56 PM
hi @Eugene @PeterTamaroff
 
@Marvis Hey there.
 
so you're working on apostol too huh?
 
@Eugene I just got Landau's text on Number Theory yesterday, from an arab website.
@Eugene Yes, he is.
 
yup got done with the first chapter
 
@PeterTamaroff you're obsessed man
 
11:58 PM
Interestingly I got Ireland and Rosen from some random website yesterday :)
 
@Marvis that is a beautifully written book
@Marvis one of my favorites. if just a bit general
 
@Eugene I haven't read it
though I have heard good things abt it
 
@Marvis you should skim through it if you have occasion
it's a great survey on number theory IMO
