i hate it when i'm right.

last night, this one problem in particular vexed me. it has to do with finding the taylor polynomial for sin(x^2) to be a certain given equation, and i just could not get it to match. i kept insisting, "if this turns out to be a typo, and they really want (sin(x))^2, i'm gonna scream."

so guess what? this morning i got an e-mail from irina. apparentally there was a typo in the assignment. something along the lines of it reading sin(x^2) instead of the (sin(x))^2 that it should be.

*facepalm*

"I hope you didn't spend too much time struggling with it..."

One of those emails you REALLY don't want to get.

What a sucky start to the week. Let's hope it gets better by tomorrow.
