MTech student commits suicide

Flash News

Ettimadai, Coimatore: An MTech student in Computational Engineering and Networking commited suicide today by jumping in front of the Taylor series expansion.

A Taylor series is a series expansion of a function about a point. A one-dimensional Taylor series is an expansion of a real function f(x) about a point x = a is given by




The poor student died instantly as a term of the Taylor series somewhere close to infinity passed over his skull.

Officials are yet to to determine if this was caused by the careless Calculus teacher who was not able to properly convey to the class what the Taylor series actually meant.

The CIDs from Tamilnadu and the CBI conducted 3 dummy tests. The results of the test were
1st dummy to wall - 12 feet
2nd dummy to wall - 8 feet
Dummy to Dummy - 6 feet

According to CID Ramdas and Vijayan, this indicates a clear case of suicide.

LOL. I almost fell off my chair :))

Shiv, how creative are you.
Like a diamond in the sky.
And how much fun you are having.

But shame on the meek M Tech student. He should have hanged himself anyhow. Taylor series is too elementary dude. Even clueless B Tech graduates like myself have learned Taylor series in third semester.

Welcome to my personal space Geo.
Glad you can join the fun. :)

Hey TS,

Dont blame me. Blame my sir who does not allow MTech students to go home on weekends. And he keeps classes on Quantum Mechanics!!!! Can you believe that ???
There is more good news. We are going to have JAVA classes on all weekends. I guess Satan is going to get an inferiority complex when he meets my HOD.

Geo,

I did not know that you liked Pearl Jam so much.
I simply love Pearl Jam.
Yellow Ledbetter and Black and just some of my favorates.

Its always fun how eddie keeps changing the lyrics for the songs.
Check out fivehorizons.com Go to the songx section and download Jeremy. Its totally different from the original. Fans call it the New Jeremy.

Shiv,

I wish I could learn Quantum Mechanics. And Java is not all that bad - it is a good language.

Otherwise all I have to say is,

work hard,
play hard,
party hard,
wear glasses whenever you need'em.

Dei,
u had told me about that site Five Horizons some time back.. for something else... i'll checkout the new Jeremy.

see if you can get eddie's version of "You Gotta Hide your love away".. from the movie soundtrack I Am Sam.

I guess age is really catching up on me. :(
I can't understand most of what you have written.

In my days college used to be all about girls and fun. And we did have classes inbetween. That is when we took a break and had our day's sleep..

Hi Amar,

If you are talking about the math in the blog, dont worry, most of us dont have a clue about that either.

In a class of just 12 students, you can only sleep with your eyes open.

And I promised myself that I have come all the way here to study and study alone.
WOW.. Did I just say that ?? I guess I have changed :)
:angel smilie:


Hey TS,

I agree that JAVA is not bad. But JAVA on weekends is terrible.
Also it reminds me of all the lab sessions with Nimmi ma'am. Something that I am trying hard to get out of my head.

Geo,
Sure thing will search for it.
PJ rulz.... I have always dreamed of singing Black and Jeremy in front of a big crowd... ( Too bad for the crowd )

piper said...

i have it with me here.. took it from here.

sajith said...

Shiv,

I just pray I'm not in that unfortunate crowd. I'm sure everyone here agrees :-P

Taylor series image changed Shiv. I think you need to copy it to some space that you have control on.

Shiv said...

ok, I think I can take care of that.

Damn these mathematicians.
