Nasa starts talking about calculus...

Math is fun...if you know how it works. Only in Math can you see so much relief and pride in your intelligence.

Sheesh I want to learn from nasas work ethic but I know damn well half the shit he knows won’t be useful in a day to day basis, unless you want to become a mathematician or a scientist, but the more you know the better right?

wow Japanese students study 3 weeks before an exam, and here I am studying 5 minutes before the exam

So Tsukasa is Jotaro and Nasa is Koichi

E=mc^2 is not quite the culmination of his 10-year research, nor is it about light (but obviously light serves as a foundation); it is actually the beautiful theory of gravity that is now known as general relativity, which is formulated in the most elegant way from his field equation: G_mu_nu = 8*pi*G*T_mu_nu. There should be some c factor in it but natural units ftw. E=mc^2 is from one of his 4 papers released during his wunderjahre back in 1905, while his GR papers were in 1915.

I love math, honestly. So precise, so quantifiable. It was my best subject, because I could be confident in the results. Most everything else had a bit of fudge work involved, or was outright nebulous, like literature classes. I was always pretty bad with anything that involved creative writing, in school.

I identify a lot with Nasa and his extremely logical mind, but struggles with more basic daily life things outside of just taking care of oneself.

So, we got a look at a calendar today. Reminder that Tsukasa first arrived and married Nasa on his birthday, May 5th. They visited his parents about a week later, the trip took about three days, best estimate: one night to get to Kyoto, a day spent in Kyoto doing things at various points of interest, evening spent traveling to Nara to then greet his parents and spend the night before spending the next day looking at historical sights in Nara and seeing Tsukasa reminisce about (most likely) her hometown (we've gotten a hefty amount of evidence at this point to tell us she was likely born in Nara back during the time when it housed the royal palace and capital of Japan).

Then right after the sight-seeing, they most likely made the journey back to Tokyo (sleeping again on a night bus along the way) to find their apartment and the landlord's shop below destroyed by lightning, and within the day they are offered, and accept, lodging at the Arisugawa bathhouse, take care of various necessities (such as laundry), and spend their first night in a new place. They soon learn that the landlord of their original apartment is rebuilding and the process will take a month and a half.

At that point, it was most likely the middle of May, maybe late May, so the new apartment will be ready by some point in July.

But now we are most definitely in June (according to page 12), so a few weeks have definitely passed since we first learned about the new apartment. Although I'm not sure when Aya's exams are actually taking place, I get the impression from research online that it is most likely mid-July, at the latest? So that means if we've got three weeks until her exams, we are at least mid-June, possibly mid-late June?

(TL;DR) To be honest, their new apartment should be ready at any point in the next few weeks. Are we getting a change of scenery soon?

Edit: well, shit. Looks like a later chapter clarifies that the finals are actually end of June. So it really is still early June here. I mean, I was honestly thinking that was the case, but when I looked up about spring term finals in Japan, it told me mid-July, so it's understandable I'd be confused.
