Yes. F=ma. There's no v in there.

Does "hoodie" mean "juvenile delinquent" in the US as well as the UK?

This will make an interesting case study, in worldwide PR as much as anything. As a Brit, I hadn't heard much about Georgia Tech until now, but I'm pretty certain that if I wanted to take a global MBA, I wouldn't go to the place with the fa
