I forgot where I pulled that equation or what the heck it was about. But it looks awfully smart.

Also, of note, math used to be my best subject, and over time I graduated to drawing funny animals. Symbolic, no?

@Dranorter, must be because it’s the equation committee’s best debater.

I think that’s actually “little omega sub 1″, not a comma after a “w”. Seeing constructs like “omega sin( omega…)” are pretty common, as the chain rule brings the “inner” omega out of the sine.

I was guessing harmonics; this looks pretty close:
