p.s. I got 100% in calculus this year

 

[Andrew]

100% Is your calc teacher easy or what?

 

[Ntrik_]

yea i think my prof went easy on us this year

So I guess you didn't have to take the AP tests? I guess the word is that it was the hardest set of FRQs ever created thus far.

That was a pretty kickass video, I like the fact that I know all the math references, though it is all pretty basic calc I guess. Integrating e^x is just e^x, isn't it?

I heard they use calculus to find out the circumfrence of an oil spill.

That true?

 

[AP]

Any advice for a guy taking calc next year?

yea it is, I never took AP...


for calculus, just know how to integrate lol, theres some secret rule to integration by parts that profs never teach you, if you know that then calc is a breeze

and apparently, they do calculus to find EVERYthing, probably even the oil spil


btw they forgot to put "dx" after e^x for integration

I guess you would to find the circumference if it was changing over time. Find C'.

edit: ^^^ True, should be S e^x dx.

Calculus? You've seen nothing yet if you only go to integration by parts. *

You must be going to the wrong college, my Calc II professor taught us the tabular method for integration by parts. Next semester I get to take Calc III. :-/

It has numbers that do stuff with other numbers.

That's about it for me. I blow at math, except Geometry.

 

[x42bn6]

You mean you defy algebra?!*

 

[Vadriel]

I'm sorry, that word you just used defiles my brain and causes me to shut down.

 

[Andrew]

Integration by parts is the most wonderful thing ever.

 

[x42bn6]

Understatement of the century.*

 

[Vadriel]

I must not be to that yet. I have yet to even hear "integration" as a math term in class.

 

[PauseBreak]

The only Mathletes I know are the one's I've seen in Mean Girls, and I only watch that movie for the hot girls.

Good video though. Good pick good pick.

Because integration has more practical as opposed to theoretical uses.

Integration is differentiation's poor brother. Integration is a direct result of differentiation.*

 

[Vadriel]

Too many -atians. My brain just goes on hold.

 

[Andrew]

I like integration more than differentiation. They are both pretty fun to do. It's fun telling someone you can find the area underneath a graph, and then they have no idea what you're talking about.
