Complex numbers were once called imaginary numbers.
I made a joke. It was supposed to make people laugh.

Complex joke.

...or is that Imaginary?

"you should be able to describe any shape mathematically. as a function of a few waves"

Feel free to try =) I absolutely guarentee you won't succeed, there are some horrendously pathological beasts lurking in the corner of every mathematicians box of tricks. Curves that are not and cannot ever be represented by series of simple analytical functions.

 

[K.I.L.E.R]

Yes they can.

y = mx + ci is a curve of 1e6th order.

 

[KimB]

That doesn't make any sense....

Is there an analogy that explains Chalnoth's thickness of jokes?

well i guess that shows those total wave theorists.
