Bitchin'!!!

I'm surprised I know that after looking at it for just 5 minutes.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #107 on:** October 13, 2011, 04:36:58 PM »

The derivative of 73109 is 0

The derivative of Jamesman42 is 42

73109 · « **Reply #108 on:** October 13, 2011, 04:38:15 PM »

Provides Jamesman is a variable...

Excellent

I always wondered if your username was a derivative of something...ddt makes me think off that

73109 · « **Reply #111 on:** October 13, 2011, 06:11:23 PM »

e^x is the only thing that is its own derivative.

Cool.

Besides 0...but who really counts that o/

Q: What do you get when you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by the diameter of a pumpkin?

A: Pumpkin pi

I should use that joke as a bellwork problem on Halloween for my geometry kids. They will moan.

I'm lazy. That's my only excuse.
Anyone care to solve this for me?

5 x A : 2 + B - C = 2
D x 9 : E + 8 - F = 15
6 x G : H + I - 2 = 57
9 x J : K + L - 5 = 22
9 x M : 3 + N - 1 = 30

Danke!

Is this a system of equations? Not sure how to read this exactly.

I'm not sure, either. All I know is that you need the solution to find the coordinates for a geocache:

N 51° HL.M(N-E)(D-4)
O 08° A(F-I).B(C-G)(J-K)

Obviously, there are many different possible solutions. So I guess I'll just have to check if they are plausible enough. Like, H is most likely to equal 1, and L = 6.

Going the "lovers" comparison in the thread title, math for me was a lover I loved with a passion, who then started to be ridiculously aggressive and impossible to understand and after trying to save the relationship for a while I eventually broke up.

I still like some things about it but overall I've become much more of a humanist.

I've always been a maths lover.... in fact, it always saved my life...

73109 · « **Reply #124 on:** October 15, 2011, 04:37:49 PM »

Finding derivatives is just like working an algebra problem. Seeing as how algebra is my favorite thing ever, I'm really digging this.

Implode · « **Reply #125 on:** October 15, 2011, 05:03:58 PM »

Dude, calculus is the best. Especially integrals.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #126 on:** October 15, 2011, 05:11:22 PM »

Yeah, integrals are the best thing about calculus. I'd rank the things in calc like this:

Integrals
Series (once they make sense)
Differential Equations
Derivatives
Limits

(forgot DE's)

Dimitrius · « **Reply #127 on:** October 15, 2011, 06:47:10 PM »

FUCK SERIES!! FUCK THEM!!!

73109 · « **Reply #128 on:** October 15, 2011, 07:16:00 PM »

Being in Calc BC, I actually have to do series...not sure what to expect.

Implode · « **Reply #129 on:** October 15, 2011, 07:20:59 PM »

Well series can be really tough to grasp, but once you do, it's awesome. I pretty much agree with Jamesman.

I know the pain. But if you take some time to dissect them, it's very rewarding and it actually makes a lot of sense (and becomes easy).

I'd say expect some WTF moments in the beginning. You'll probably ask yourself "How in the heck is this calculus? Where are the derivatives and integrals?" At least, that is what I thought for a long time even after learning them.

But what makes it calculus, from what I understand, is you are pretty much always adding up infinite terms using finite notation. Calculus deals with limits and infinitesimals, getting down to the smallest of numbers that still apply to a problem. Series are just infinite sums, and they have some special properties of convergence and divergence. Actually, you CAN differentiate/integrate them, but when I learned about them that wasn't emphasized much at all.

Usually taking a Taylor series around a certain point solves all my fluids problems... They're actually pretty useful!

I don't usually use a series to take a piss, but that sounds like a good idea.

ddtonfire · « **Reply #134 on:** October 16, 2011, 09:02:21 AM »

I mean, if you do a hodograph analysis of your pisser, it's essentially a Borda's mouthpiece.

Okay, again I have a geocaching problem...
Got a hint that A is infinite.

Any way to solve this, then?
N51° 05.(((1000-(1/(A/200)))/3)*2,661) E08° 50.0((((1/A)^2)/4)+2)1

Argue that ∃x∀yP (x, y) → ∀x∃yP (x, y) is not a tautology.
