Elliptic curve

(NOT AN ELLIPSE!!!) Elliptic curve: y*y = x*x*x + A*x + B for some A and B. Seemingly simple enough (if you've gotten past high school algebra at least). However, if you make some special points, you can create a whole new number system. And there are so many of these (just change your values for A and B).
Elliptic curve cryptography are based on the idea that multiplying by, say, 329857349875 isn't *that* hard... but dividing by it is HELL. It's a reliable one-way function, which is pretty important for encryption! Another application is factorization, but I'm not too sure on that one so ask google ig

8th Floor of Ellicott Hall

A figure of speech generally used by residents of Ellicott Hall at the University of Maryland, or those that have previously lived in Ellicott Hall. While a statement, in the literal sense, declaring the intent of the user to, in effect, yeet (see: "Yeet") themselves off of the top floor of Ellicott Hall, it is used more commonly as a metaphor, generally when the user wishes to express to their friends that they are quite over the amount of bullshit that is the order of obtaining an engineering degree or that they are simply overwhelmed with work and feel close to death. Typically used most frequently around Finals time.
