The F-35 is a strike fighter with limited speed, range and durability given its single engine -- especially operating in the Arctic.

Russia who still attempt to do invasion flights into our national airspace.

Ignoring the laughable paranoia involved in the above quote, what do you suppose, at most, 20 operational F-35s are going to do against the Northern Fleet and the air support of the northern bases?

I have never once in class found out how or why the formula's and expressions and equations were created.

The class you're looking for is a "Sets and Logic" course. It's usually taught as a prerequisite to an introductory discrete math course in university.

Years of high school education convinced me that math was nothing more than a rote excersize in symbol memorization and manipulation, but taking that class completely changed my perspective. It covers the logic used by mathematicians in explicit detail and builds mathematical intuition that helps students see how equations, theorems, etc... are created from the mathematician's perspective.

Windows 7 Has Lots of "God Modes" 422
