And how does a real geek get those mad skills, but by hacking together
their own TiVo (or insert other silly project that could be avoided by
subsituting $15k)?

Back to figuring out why my symbolic derivitive code isn't working

because it is more interesting to write scheme programs to do the math on
it than doing the homework is.  If only I were allowed to use the palm on
