Up is one of the six directions of three dimensional space. In two dimensional graphs, assuming the 'up/down' direction is present, up is usually represented by 'y'. This can also hold true for three dimensional graphs, though 'z' is also occasionally used for the 'up/down' directions. 'X', however, is never used for this purpose.
In France we use any of those three for up, though it's z most of the time.

Yep, Z became the new Y when the world turned 3D.

In Norway too, the up/down axis is usually represented by the letter "z". The letter "y" is most commonly used for the North/South axis.

Anyway, I'm done with mathematics, so I don't have to bother with this! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I find you suspiciously happy about being done with mathematics. :pascontent:

That's because I am very happy to be done with mathematics! :teuf:

I haven't Maths for more than 2 years and I don't remember a single thing. :P

I hate math but it's so useful to know, especially things like quadratic functions. I find it a very useful thing to know.

There are at least two butterfly theorems in maths. One which I found on Wikipedia and regards some weird sets drawn like a butterfly, and one I had in my school recently and involves inscribed degenerated (butterflied) quad.

Interesting, can you explain more?

No. Oh, who am I kidding. These are just two unrelated theorems called the same; what's unusual though is they cover entirely different aspects of maths - "good old" geometry on the plane and set theory. Usually the same-called theorems aren't so distinct.

That's very easy though.

Indeed. Compare it to the insanity known as planar geometry. The ninth circle would be "finding the simplest solution", because I and my teacher usually disagree on which solution is simpler.

Random fact: a lot of video cards contain number close to 0x5f3759df in their chips in order to speed up computation of 1/sqrt(x).

How about the fact that there are about 250 pyramids in Sudan, compared to about 150 in Egypt? :mrgreen:
