By (-x^2) do you mean -x^2 or (-x)^2?

It's been many a year since I have done calculus... and it's lost on me now.

You lost me in the first sentence, I am only just learning Calculus, and not officially.

I am rather enjoying this. It's been a while since I've been pulled from signal processing and transforms into pure math.
Ahh, fun. I focused on electric motors and power electronics.

And I would like to know the last time a thread on integration made it to 100 posts.I had a thread on vector integration get to 100, but it was more for humor (as you can see from the title).

In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Never got too into those fields. Closest I got was control systems, but I didn't like my prof much: too easy so I just ended up doing the bare minimum.

Control theory was one of the easiest senior level courses I've taken. Applying it is another matter altogether; analog control systems are a huge pain in the ass to design and implement. We decided to go with this digital microcontroller for our electric drives project this term, and it's so much easier to write some software and let an IC do all the work than it is to figure out the exact values for a bunch of R's and C's and then realize you can't buy the values you need (lol).

I can understand that! We had to design amplifiers for a class project. It's such a pain getting those just right to meet the requirements, rather than just uploading to Matlab and filtering through multiplication in the frequency domain.

But that's terribly off topic.
