Question of the Day

[dogriver]

In mathematics, the quantity b²-4ac is called the "discriminant." Does this pearl of wisdom have any, ANY, ANY practical application in real life?

If that is wisdom then i must be really really dumb...
And to answer the question...
NO!

Say what? You totally lost me after you said the word mathematics. SMILE! No, this has absolutely no practical application in the real world, and either does x*y = z as far as I'm concerned. I'm lucky some days that I can add 2+2 though, so I'm probably the wrong person to ask. SMILE!
