Numbers

Remember how I talked about numbers & their personalities in that one blog post?
Well, I was in math the other day, having one of my weird conversations with one of my friends, and we were taking notes on derivatives for sine, cosine, etc. functions. And I mentioned that cosine would have a negative, because cosine is like sine, only more annoying (also, she's a girl). And we started talking about how we envision the trigonometric functions. And then we started talking about how we think about numbers - and I'm not alone! I am not the only one who has always had numbers with personalities!
(Meanwhile, the other two people at our table sort of looked at us funny when we'd look up eagerly at them to see if they agreed)
