Quadratic

“My name is Sharon and I’m an undergraduate math student at Arcadia University. A while ago, I decided that I wanted a tattoo that showed my love for mathematical formulas and equations. I got the quadratic formula on the back of my neck. The quadratic formula has been my favorite equation ever since I learned to sing it to the tune of “pop! goes the weasel.” My tattoo is also useful for anyone who happens to sit behind me on an exam!”

    The quadratic formula is a beautiful thing (extraneous roots notwithstanding). To this day that thing still rattles around in my dome although I’ve not had to use it since a math final long ago.

    Cheers

    I have used that formula in forever. But all I got to say, if he is still in school, who ever is behind him won’t forget it! But I am sure that guy will. ;)
