I can’t believe I’m actually starting my math homework on a Monday night. It’s always due on Friday, so usually I start Wednesday at the earliest. I must be ill.

Meanwhile, I’m highly amused, as one of the questions is titled “The Mean Life of a Radioactive Nucleus.” Of course, they’re talking about average, but… “The Mean Life”? Someone needs to use that title for their memoirs. Of course, I suppose, if they had used the word “average” it would have been even worse. “The Average Life of a Radioactive Nucleus”? It’s so thoughful how mathematics goes out of its way to keep me entertained.
