Guest Starship Trooper Posted December 7, 1999 Share Posted December 7, 1999 There was a passage from a G&S operetta sung by characters in the latest Star Trek: Next Gen movie and in Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was the same passage in both movies. Anyone remember which G&S that was from? Anybody even know what I'm talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ikhnaton Posted December 7, 1999 Share Posted December 7, 1999 yes, i nearly turned off the star trek movie when they started singing that... talk about stupid. ------------------ There is no spoon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest theahnfahn Posted December 7, 1999 Share Posted December 7, 1999 Seeing as how I adore Crater, I will attempt to give this thread a post that actually has some meaning. To those of you who will one day take calculus, or to those who never did, behold - 1 variable calculus made easy! What you learn here may someday save your life Step 1 A function is a tool used to map a set of values. We denote a function as f(x). Examples of functions include: |f(x)=23 |f(x)=4x |f(x)=x^2+4x+7 |f(x)=sin(x) Step 2 A derivative of a function is used to find tangent lines, relative minima and maxima, and other nifty things. We denote the derivative of a function f(x) as f'(x). Some basic rules for finding derivatives are: |f(x)=c*x^n, where c and n are constants f'(x)=n*c*x^(n-1) |f(x)=sin(x) f'(x)=cos(x) |f(x)=cos(x) f'(x)=-sin(x) |h(x)=f(x)*g(x) h'(x)=f(x)*g'(x)+g(x)*f'(x) Step 3 An integral of a function can be used to find the area under the graph of the function. Performing an integral is just doing the opposite of a derivative. We denote the integral of a function f(x) as S f(x)dx. Examples of integrals include: |f(x)=c*x^n, where c and n are constants S f(x)dx=(1/(n+1))*c*x^(n+1) |f(x)=sin(x) S f(x)dx=-cos(x) |f(x)=cos(x) S f(x)dx=sin(x) |h(x)=f(x)*g'(x)+g(x)*f'(x) S h(x)dx=f(x)*g(x) Step 4 Now for some examples of derivatives: 1)f(x)=x^2 f'(x)=2*x 2)f(x)=x^3+x^4+4*x^6 f'(x)=3*x^2+4*x^3+24*x^5 3)f(x)=sin(x)+cos(x) f'(x)=cos(x)-sin(x) 4)f(x)=(x^2+4*x)*(5*x+9*x^2) f'(x)=(2*x+4)*(5*x+9*x^2)+(x^2+4*x)*(5+18*x) Step 5 Now for some examples of integrals: 1)f(x)=2*x S f(x)dx=x^2 2)f(x)=3*x^2+4 S f(x)dx=x^3+4*x 3)f(x)=cos(x)-sin(x) S f(x)dx=sin(x)+cos(x) Stay tuned for next weeks lesson: Applications of calculus! ------------------ And there he is.

Guest Ikhnaton Posted December 7, 1999 Share Posted December 7, 1999 Hmm, Calculus. I seem to remember taking that in high school way back. I remember getting all A's in it.

Guest theahnfahn Posted December 7, 1999 Share Posted December 7, 1999 Never studied, eh? Well I've got news for you bub. There is only enough room for one math whiz on this forum. As soon as I finish the remaining 350 pages of my vector calculus review I will challenge you to a duel. May the best man win (me, of course). ------------------ And there he is.

Guest Haathi Posted December 7, 1999 Share Posted December 7, 1999 It was "A British Tar is a Soaring Soul" from HMS Pinafore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wizzywig Posted December 7, 1999 Share Posted December 7, 1999 Indeed. My college roommate was a Gilbert & Sullivan fanatic, and played D'Oyly Carte LPs constantly (LPs, for the younger set, were 12" vinyl discs, with music stored in analog form in spiraling grooves; the ancient precursors to CDs). The music and lyrics still float through the deeper recesses of my brain: A British tar is a soaring soul, As free as a mountain bird, His energetic fist should be ready to resist A dictatorial word. His nose should pant and his lip should curl, His cheeks should flame and his brow should furl, His bosom should heave and his heart should glow, And his fist be ever ready for a knock-down blow. His eyes should flash with an inborn fire, His brow with scorn be rung; He never should bow down to a domineering frown, Or the tang of a tyrant tongue. His foot should stamp and his throat should growl, His hair should twirl and his face should scowl; His eyes should flash and his breast protrude, And this should be his customary attitude! -wiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wizzywig Posted December 7, 1999 Share Posted December 7, 1999 Thankyou-- But to be quite candid, there were a few phrases that eluded my memory, and I filled in the gaps in my recollection with a quick online trip to the Gutenberg Project. I am not the G&S afficionado that Haathi is, but my old roommate was certainly very close. He is now, BTW, a sound engineer in the motion picture business. The most recent film he worked on was MYSTERY MEN. -wiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
