I dont ever recall anyone I know complaining about math being useless. Maybe a bit difficult for some, but no one has ever made a compelling case to me as to why math is useless.

Nice write up tho..

Read that this morning and thought about posting it, but figured someone had beaten me to it. Quality stuff for sure.

Nice!! I bet the judge was probably a bit confused on some of the terminology and equations, but the guy did a great job on being thorough in his report writing. Who would've thought that Diff EQ could be easily applied to an every day occurence!
