Certainly! I hope it is of some use to you.

Mr. Peschko has me wondering...

My goal is to get a degree in Bio-Medical Engineering. I'm currently
enrolled in College Algebra with trig, pre-calc, calcs I-III,
engineering physics, diff equations etc to follow as an undergrad. I
also have several biology and chemistry courses I must take as well.
Hopefully by the time I get to higher maths I will have gained some
proficiency in using Frink. So then. With perhaps 'liberal'
applications of grease would it be possible for Frink to evolve in the
manner that Mr. Peschko suggested? It would seem that Frink is
perfectly suited for such things, but then I'm an admitted n00b so
what do I know.
