I grabbed the closest book that wasn't my dad's. If I had grabbed dad's book, you'd have gotten a description of how to do some exercise. As it is, here's Madeleine L'Engle's A Circle of Quiet:
Finally one of the young men, with great reluctance, pulled out the word: skeleton. It is our bones, our structure, which frees us to dance, to make love. Without our structure we would be an imprisoned, amorphous blob of flesh, incapable of response. The amoeba has a minimum of structure, but I doubt if it has this much fun.
I was totally going to do this...then I discovered that the 5 sentences involved in any of the books within arms reach of me include equations. Sometimes more than one equation. Far as I know, LJ doesn't have an equation editor...not that I really wanted to type them in anyway. Why don't I have novels on my desk? It's not like I don't have the internet as a giant distraction from getting anything done!

"Write the resulting polynomial in standard form and indicate its degree.
In Exercises 74-80, find each product.
In Exercises 88-104 factor completely, or state that the polynomial is prime.
In Exercises 105-107, factor and simplify each algebraic expression."
Maybe I'll play again when I get home.
