What are Theseus and Hippolyta looking forward to in the next four days?

They are looking forward to their wedding.  They are going
to be getting married to each other in just a few days.


At
the start of the play, these two are looking forward to their marriage.  In fact, they
cannot wait.  They are talking about how impatient they are for the day to come.  They
are eager even though Theseus apparently first won Hippolyta with his
sword.


By contrast, Hermia is not at all eager to marry
Demetrius, and that will be the reason for the rest of the play to
happen.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
