I'm going to kill

Take home final in Goldstein mechanics: 1st question is to find the normal modes and their frequencies for a system with four masses and 6 ****ing springs. Holy ****. My expression for the exact potential takes up 6 full lines, and now I've got to expand it to second order in the magnitude of oscillation.

Holy ****.

I have to analyze Shakespeare's style of writing for my take home final, do any of you know any generalizations about how Shakespeare chose his diction, imagery, and voice?

I did, except for this one. The teacher was being an ass about signing my waiver form.

Latest update: it simplifies to four ****ing terms after three ****ing changes of coordinates along the way and 3 full pages of algebraic manipulation. It is now trivially diagonalizable, and all I have to do is show that my coord changes didn't affect the form of the T matrix.

That makes 50% of the takehome done.

Holy ****ing ****.

I don't need an explanation; I need to be allowed to plug this into Maple and walk away while it spits out a ****ing answer. Either that or I need an undergrad to write out all the painful, trivial details.

I had to sit there for half an hour and search through my ****ing work to find the sign error that ended up giving me a 1st order term in the potential. Arggghhh!

Why? What sort of nifty tricks? There's a simple formula (as long as it's nondegenerate)

The equation he mentions appears to just be the wave equation (probably on a spherical shell, given the form of the source density).

Nobody knows how he chose them, since he didn't choose to leave us his 'How to Write a Five Act Tragedy' guide.

However, if you look at the sources for some of his plays, you'll notice that the English translation of Suetonius suggests some of the imagery (for example, Enobarbus's description of Antony meeting Cleopatra for the first time). What is worth mentioning is that there is usually a cluster of images or picture themes woven into the plays, so that 'Antony and Cleopatra' for instance has images of clay, mutability, transformation and luxury, and 'Macbeth' is full of images of night, witchcraft, murder, death and blood, and that usually the 'good' imagery is associated with the hero/heroine.
Also that Shakespeare makes use of the linkage of two similar images to stress his meaning, such as 'pith and marrow', but that occasionally when his inspiration flags (passages in 'Henry V' or 'Two Gentlemen of Verona') the rhetoric ends up simply being repetitive rather than evocative.
