Ok, this is embarassing, but Calc II was far and away my worst subject in all of college.

Let's say you have a 1/x function and you actually need to integrate this for a purpose instead of just for fun, so you have limite of integration on it.

considering the integral of 1/x is ln (x) ...

what do you do again if one of your limits of integration is 0 ...?

mathematically you get infininty if you integrate this because the ln of 0 is infinity .... BUT.

I actually need to figure out a way to quantify this equation for a useful purpose believe it or not.

All my old calc books are still packed up so I can't go look at them and I can't find a tutorial on the internet.

Help! I'm retarded!

At least she has a degree...

A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
