I think the continued talk of the superiority of FORTRAN is based on past glory.

yes this is very true. But fortran still remains a very important language for maintaining legacy code.

These days people use more of a mixture of mathlab and C/C++

FORTRAN

lol maybe i should have said one of the best  .

You are right about Fortran having some of the best maths api out there  but some other people will argue that Mathematia or Mathlab are the better .

it think the decision boils down to which domain/industry you are working on and what  the industrial standard languague is there

In the industry i work in Master C++ coders are hot like fire and earn rockstar salaries, Fortran is used more for legacy systems while Mathlab is used for prototyping mathematical models which are latter translated into C++ code

OK, I hope I'm not the "crazy Math loving senior" and I'm glad you love Math, but can we stick to the script please?

yea i have tie back her question to programming.

LOL, Im not into applied Maths, Im an Engineer but I have always been in love with Maths! A crazy Maths ardent (a senior student) in high school gave me the integral to solve when I was in senior high 1. I attacked it like a wolf in winter! LOL

No i dont do C++, Im playing around with C# anyway!

hahaha he most have had a laugh because that integral can't be solved. Am sure you tried integration by substitution and u kept on ending up with a solution that required to be integrated over and over again. 

If you love maths you need to try play with C++. You find the best Maths api in there

@mavenbox

Nice one Mavenbox.

The function your provided e^x2 is actually a standard error function called a Gauss Error function which has a standard definition of

error func(x) = 2/√π ∫ e ^x2 dx

Yea the integral is interesting. I know for example that you normally use this error function in calculating the normal distribution of a dataset.

am not sure if you are into C++ but there is actually a function to calculate this called erf()

btw are you into applied maths. 

lol. so u finally give up

^^ tell them

^^ u bet

lol

no i ment narked -- as in angry.

naaah am nakred i will be goin home straight to bed

hopefully very soon

na wa o. u are back

see as i dey suffer i still dey office

yes o

^^ you finally got your id back

i will ping you there

no on a different ID

dude i been dey comment for your movies for youtube o

so i take it u dont lie at all?

very good question
