+ | Another one of the math-love relationship comics, a mathematical depiction of pain as a derivative of time is shown. It is hoped that ''dPain/dt'', or the rate of pain (in this case, shrinking), decreases quickly so that the pain will vanish quickly. He's hoping the the value for ''d'' will not be larger than a few days or some weeks. | ||
− | + | If ''k<sub>1</sub>'' was positive or if ''k<sub>2</sub>'' was a large value, the value of ''dPain/dt'' would approach zero. Ideally, ''k<sub>1</sub>'' would be "How much she's in my life"/''Pain'' (we assume both these values are positive), while ''k<sub>2</sub>'' would ideally be extremely large. Either of these scenarios approach what would be a situation where the value of ''dPain/dt'' is close to zero. But we don't know the meaning of ''k<sub>1</sub>'' or ''k<sub>2</sub>'', these variables are just unpredictable. | |
