Today, I had to Google how to find the area of a circle. I'm working on my PhD in engineering. FML

Be honest, your daddy greased a few palms to get you in to college didn't he?

I don't quite understand what you're trying to say here... But I like your picture.. Hmm... What to do? *press thumbs up* Damn my impulses.

I'm pretty sure forgetting one of many formulas is not a sign she's not college material.

Op's name says it all for everyone debating on the formula.

YouTube the circle song! Very helpful

I run into that same kind of problem all the time. You know your an engineer when the area or volume of a simple shape slips your mind but you immediately know how to find it with multivariable integrals.

Same problem for a student of statistics, I can set up, collect data for, and run a multivariate hypothesis test. But ask me to tell you what constitutes an isosceles triangle, and I'll be stumped.

And you madam need a gramar book level 2... Or maybe level 1

I'm in Junior High and I know the area of a circle formula on the top of my head... Sometimes our brain needs to be refreshed though!

Imagine if I forgot something basic while doing surgery. "Damn, are arteries the blue ones or the red ones? These in here are all sort of reddish brown! Shit, will you go and google 'colon anatomy' real quick?"

That's really bad. What's the area of a sphere with a 5(3.14)/9 rad section removed?

That impossible to answer. Is it the globe or a tennis ball?

Do you mean the surface area or the volume? The basic formulas are Volume is (4/3)*pi*r^3 Surface area is 4*pi*r^2 Assuming everyone knows I'm multiplying with the * symbol and raising the number that precedes the ^ symbol to the power of a number that follows the ^ symbol Oh, and pi isn't exactly 3.14, we just call it that because the number never ends...ever...We can never get an exact number for pi... We can never get the exact area of a circle, volume of a sphere, surface area...or anything that has to do with pi. The most correct answer would be to just leave the pi symbol in the answer. Don't you just hate uncertainty?

I fear our future. People get dumber and dumber ever day. The only other engineer I know is a cross dressing coke head who runs transit systems in a major city. We're doomed.
