Default Re: A Tangent: There Was A Time

Technically, the numbers in a multiplication operation are 'multiplicand' and 'multiplier'.

And also technically, a determinant involves multiplication (the summation of 2n products of n terms, with n of those products being added, and n being subtracted, in a matrix of n by n terms; determinant is only meaningful in a square matrix).

And finally, back on topic. I tend to like it when the days get shorter, because it's cooler outside, and I don't feel like I need to be urgently doing something as much when it's dark. It gives me more time to relax, which I think is a good thing. Maybe I'll begin thinking differently when I'm not a full-time student with two part-time jobs.

--edit: spelling mistake.
