Grabbing the nearest book

Posted in Oddly... by Elliott Back on December 17th, 2004. [Del.icio.us]

A meme for you book lovers:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don’t search around and look for the “coolest” book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you.

“Each Householder transformation must be applied to the remaining unreduced portion of the matrix, but it will not affect the prior columns already reduced, and hence the zeros are preserved through successive transformations.”

Yes, I just had my Numerical Analysis final, and the book is close nearby. Leave more in the comments!!
