Ooh, in my intense rage at television on friday, I totally forgot to post about the exciting events that occurred on The OC on Thursday! No, not all the happy Berkeley love, which was surely exciting, but the scene in which Seth is reading the infamous Stewart calculus book! Whoooooo! Go math! Of course, he was reading the regular edition, not the Early Transcendentals version, so when he goes to Berkeley and continues on in calculus he'll have to buy a new text book, and he probably won't have as firm a grasp on the logarithmic and exponential functions. OTOH, he could go to UCI, where they use the edition he was reading, and where they don't really teach you any more about log functions than what you should have already learned by junior year of high school. But never mind that.

(PS: the community college where I took my first two semesters of calculus used the Early Transcendentals edition, thus I did not have to buy a new textbook. Go me!)

Also, why are all these people only applying to one school, why do all the acceptance letters arrive on the same day, and how in the hell do they know when that day is beforehand? Dude.

In more Berkeley love, according to Wikipedia, Jack Bauer got his master's degree in law and criminology at UCB. Go Bears!
