[ x(t) = A e^{r_1 t} + B e^{r_2 t} ]

It seemed so abstract. So dead. Little did I know that this equation would become the heartbeat of a cathedral. The fire changed everything. with (r_1, r_2) real and negative

My answer was a disaster. I wrote about beauty. I wrote about history. I wrote nothing about , tension , or Young’s modulus . or Young’s modulus .
