It's blowing my mind up. Sometimes I just look at two equations that are the same thing and I'm just like how on EARTH did point a get to point b????? Like how is
a^-n = 1/a^n
??? (I can't type in superscript here so I have to use those carots. Are they called carots?)
*I just did a search on them. I spelled it wrong, they're called "carets". Or circumflex accents like in french.
Anyway, I kind of stare at it and do what my math teacher did in class and then it makes more sense, but sometimes I don't really get why something is converted. Like, I understand the actually process of doing it, but after I do it, it just looks totally different. Most people are just satisfied with how to do it or just memorizing it, but I feel like I have to really and truly deeply understand this topic or else I end up forgetting it really easily. *sigh* I guess it's good to understand things though.
