Math Formula
 
Can one of the "nice" folks here, help me?
I want a formula to kinda show. (N) number of days you can put somthing off is< less than ∞ infinity. Would that be (N) > ∞ ? Perhaps dressed up with the correct symbols. :mg:

I haven't done math more complicated than my taxes in years, but I think that it might be

n < ∞

Thanks wolf. I see I used the greater than > not the less <. Wtf I know? :)

The direction the arrow points is always the littler part.

Isn't an integral required to show that the amount of time you can put something off, approaches infinity?

Given that I don't know what an integral is, someone else needs to help buster with this.

I remember some mention of it on a math final some years back... but I had a hangover at the time.

See UT"s post about math! This I'm not sure about "integral", but something has to show you what to do with the numbers, is this perhaps an integral? Humm.

I always remembered the < looks like an upper-case L (sort of) which "Less than" starts with. :)
