@AlexA. I joke that it's what the squirrel said, but it's actually a mashup/abbreviation that one of my friends came up with of two other aliases I used to use

Alex A.

@Mego Looks like you're calling b on k/(m-k+1) rather than on k itself.

My grandpa was Rustem Aruslan and his brother was Vakkas Arslan.

That is hilarious=)

TimmyD

9:08 PM

@AlexA. starts doxxing Alex ;-)

Rainbolt

Maybe he changed his name from John to Stephen because your math department made fun of him.

Alex A.

My grandpa liked his brother's name better so in the 1980s he, my grandma, and my dad (who was already married to my mom so her too) all went from Aruslan to Arslan.

flawr

But why haven't they been asked to write their name down?

Doxing

Doxing (from dox, abbreviation of documents), or doxxing, is the Internet-based practice of researching and broadcasting personally identifiable information about an individual. The methods employed to acquire this information include searching publicly available databases and social media websites (like Facebook), hacking, and social engineering. It is closely related to internet vigilantism and hacktivism. Doxing may be carried out for various reasons, including to aid law enforcement, business analysis, extortion, coercion, harassment, online shaming and vigilante justice. == Etymology...

Okay, so me and some guys in my Physics class are having some problems. Basically, we used the kinematics equation to find acceleration (2s/t^2 = a) and a try fit, then multiplied the "A" value by 2 (second derivative) and we got that the latter was half the magnitude of the former. Any valid explanation for this?
