Oh God lol
Hellish question
So
You can simplify it bit by bit
First of all, can you put the inequality in the form of
[2^{something} \le 1?]
eulerEMILYteristic
I got sin^2(x) -2sinx+5<= 4 sin^4(y)
Why sin^4(y)?
Or sqrt(sin^2x-2sinx+5)<=2sin^2y
Oh wait nvm I see sorry
Okay start from here and complete the square on the left-hand side
sqrt((sinx-1)^2+4)

cosh(x) = (e^-x)/2 + (e^x)/2
for that to be 0 x would have to be of the form i*pi*n-(i*pi)/2 with n being any whole number (including negatives).
You can easily see that there is no real solution, since e^x with x in |R is always > 0 and thus adding two such terms can never yield a result <=0

Find the equation of the tangent to the graph using first principles.
Equation is f(x)=(x^2)-1
Thus; f'(x) = f(x+h)-f(x) / h
Which gives me;
(x+h)^2 -1 - (x^2 -1) / h
That's right!
I'll start again.
You plugged it in correctly though
But expressed it wrong. Good stuff.
$\pmap f x = x^2 - 1 \implies \pmap f {x+h} = (x+h)^2 - 1$
RedstonePlayz09
Now find $\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\pmap f {x + h} - \pmap f x}{h}$
RedstonePlayz09
Notice that you just plug in h = 0, because then the expression would not be defined.
You will get division by 0
Exactly! That's where I got to
Therefore you need to try and simplify the fraction first
dldh06
Pfft, sorry.
And thank you. One moment.
I think I just got it. 😮
That's not right still.
2xh+h us 2x(0)+0
which is 0+0
Did I cancel out the wrong h's from earlier?
You can't cancel the h's like that
Try factoring out an h first, from the numerator
On the line with $\frac{2xh + h^2}{h}$
dldh06
I could make that;
h(2x)+h^2 all over h.
Which becomes;
2x+(0)^2
= 2x.
This is not valid still
h(2x)+h^2 all over h.
Which becomes;
2x+(0)^2
Can you factor out h from 2xh + h^2?
h(2x+h) all over h?
Yes

WARNING: What follows will sound completely stupid
I'll start with a background on myself. I live in new Zealand, currently finishing a degree in business and starting a second on in pure math overseas. I am 16 (saying this as it might affect your advice) and have plenty of time. My parents are crazy rich asians so money is not a problem for me and I do not have a job. This leaves me with plenty of time (12 hrs) to pursue my hobbies.
By the time I'm 30 I want to earn a Fields medal, get a doctorate in math, achieve the rating of Grandmaster in chess, master List's pieces on piano, achieve a net worth of 50 million, and gain 10 kg of muscle.
My chess rating is 2300, i can play one etude from Listz, and have gained 1kg of muscle, achieved a net worth of 70k.
I do not want to seem boastful or prideful but I am saying this so you can give me the best advice possible. My question: Should I focus on mastering mathematics, or be a semi-master of all trades.
I really want to improve my chess, piano, workouts, and business, but its my math that seems to be failing. This has led me to wonder if I should focus all my efforts (10 hours) per day on to math. My analysis is garbage, topology is a pain, and I cant even integrate complex functions. I really love math, but it happens Im bad at the thing I like. If I do focus on math, my other skills will die. But is there a way to master math without losing my other skills?
So again, Math or polymath?
[please do not comment unless you have advice regarding my question, particularly unnecessary comments of my age]
I do not want to seem boastful or prideful but I am saying this so you can give me the best advice possible
this comes off as both. you could have asked just as well for advice on learning about topology without any of the other stuff
there's my advice
balance
what the fuck
my question is were to put my 12 hours of free time
could you perhaps elaborate?
dedicate a % of time to your other hobbies / rest
This has led me to wonder if I should focus all my efforts (10 hours) per day on to math.
well there are other options than throwing 100% of your time on math or throwing 100% of your time on not-math
how much time would you reccoment I allocate to mathematics
entirely up to you
nobody can do your time-management for you
it's up to you to
balance
your time
How many hours would be needed to improve my mathematics significantly
improvement in math is not a function of raw time input
different for everyone
from what Ive given you in the question
different for everyone
how many would you recommend for me
nobody can possibly know that except you
dependent on how well they understand/interpret/recieve/etc info
- it depends on how you spend those hours
say 70%
This is some solicited anecdotal advice but you'll absolutely hit a breaking point and a burnout point trying to do too much. You're young now so it's much easier to do these things now but that won't last forever.
You have a finite amount of time each day in your life and thus you can only do a finite amount of things. you're also a human being and so you'll have days/hours that you can't dedicate time to doing the things you want to do.
So you have you find out what's important to you and prioritize those things. What I do if find whatever free time you have, allocated a partitioned amount of time for each thing I love doing, and then giving myself some wiggle room/forgiveness if it doesn't get all done.
Also, learning/doing things isn't linearly done. All you can do is allocate the time and do your best to retain it. But things like topology or complex analysis might take some slow, patient time to get the concepts down.
I read 10 pages and re-read them till I know Ive mastered it
spending 2 hours drilling 5-digit by 5-digit multiplications is gonna have a different impact than spending 2 hours reading an analysis book
This is some unsolicited anecdotal advice
i mean it kind of is solicited no?
Ive read up to the 40th page in Abbotts analysis
fair enough, wrong word
and I reread it each time to make sure I've mastered it
also it appears you're pulling some kind of sigma grindset shit
?
if you're planning to stuff your days full of studies, studies and studies, when do you rest?
that's it?
no?
you'll burn yourself out and not even know it
false
your health is a big concern, much bigger than mathematical mastery
you do not want to fuck up your health
This is beside the question, do you think I could master math whilst learning these other skills?
i mean there's nothing that prevents you from doing so
or is mastery only acheived by focus
Getting a Fields medal is also a ridiculously hard endeavor no matter how much time you spend on it
i mean idk you could like, dedicate mondays to math, tuesdays to chess, wednesdays to piano etc.
You can spend your whole life on math and never get a Fields medal
I thought about that and it wont cut it
I'm sure I could do it as I have this much time and money
i will reiterate that YOU DO NOT WANT TO FUCK UP YOUR HEALTH.
if you burn yourself out, it's gonna take YEARS if not decades to recover from, no matter your millions.
There is a lot on this world that time and money cannot get you
The grandmaster goal is very hard if you want to devote any time to the other hobbies
ok assume Im a perfectly healthy huan and I cant burn out
premise is flawed,
ignore
Yeah I'm also gonna say, we're not in the business of handing out medically unsound advice in this server
Haha I realised that when I spent 10 hours per day just to get to 2300, so I meant rating of Grandmaster e.i. 2800 rating
The two goals of getting a doctorate in mathematics and playing Liszt pieces are definitely achievable
I have no personal experience on how hard gaining 10 kg of muscle is
The rest of the goals are life-consuming
ah, but can I still do the others?
Can we just stop for a second and ask if we know of any Fields medalists who are also Chess grandmasters, master piano players, multi-millionaires, and bodybuilders?
oh the muscle is easy, just keep doing it and ill get there
Is this really the right place for this conversation. There's NO MATH being talked about
You can't become a grandmaster and a fields medalist at the same time
Yeah this "et al" guy does that on top of being on the author list of like every paper I read
Insane output fr
bourbaki could have done it
I want to save this thread
I look up to Jim Simon and Isaac Newton who could have achieved such a thing
Jokes on you, Discord's gonna rebrand as Y and delete it when Elon buys discord
but they, seem to have focused on specific things rather than all round things
It helps to be practical
Also this seems to be more of a discussion question than math help
.pin
So I'm gonna recommend you move to one of the discussion channels #discussion or #serious-discussion or #chill
You can achieve a few of these things (John Nunn)
before that, could you give me perhaps a specific number?
a rough number
The answer is just no
i see
This will vastly vary depending on the person
What you're doing
How you're spending your time
etc
there are only 24 hours in a day

Also I don't like how you're diminishing the impact of burnout
@gentle surge dame really
I sleep 7 hours via polyphasic sleeping and drink massive amounts of coffee
I cant feel burnout
That is not good for you.
?
Anyways
?? Leo did it all the time
Not a flex
look where he got

you'll crash at some point
Man if only medicine had studied adverse effects of too much coffee
I'm closing this help thread because the help channels are for mathematics
but Y would it do that
Those silly scientists thinking stomachs are made of steel
If you want to talk more, then one of the discussion channels is probably better
But it's also vastly entitled to think that having a lot of time and money can just win you a Fields medal
only 3 cups
also luck
this means I could spend 10 hours a day on math
that is enough no?
Again, many people spend their entire lives on mathematics and never win a Fields medal
Lol
how could you spend your life on math
You're supposed to learn some humility and respect
and never do anything significant in the field
it literally happens everyday
Winning a Fields medal and doing something significant in the field are VERY different things
There are MANY mathematicians doing significant things in the field every day
There are at most four mathematicians every four years who win the Fields medal

do you expect that every scientist should be able to win a nobel prize? the fields medal is basically equivalent, except for the added challenge that you have to be under 40 to win it
Every 4 years
My bad
Anyways
This has gone on long enough
And frankly you're being entitled

how would i evaluate such a limit?
not sure what to do
Bring 1/sqrt(x) inside the other roots
divide everything by sqrt(x)?
Yes
no need to rationalize
Nah you don't have to
No, combine them into a single sqrt
sqrt(4x - 1)/sqrt(x) = sqrt((4x - 1)/x)
^
Same thing with the other term
ohh
how would i evaluate the limit like that
sqrt((4x-1)/x) + 2sqrt((x+3)/x) right?
Yes, well, first simplify (4x - 1)/x
expand?
Yeah, expand would be the better word
(4x-1)/x to 4-1/x
Right
ah i see
And what does 1/x approach here?
0
Yup, same thing with the other square root
Correct
Except it's inside a root
So √4 becomes 2
That's it, really

!status
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin
2. I have begun but got stuck midway
3. I got an answer but I'm told it's wrong
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked
5. I have a question about someone else's worked solution
6. None of the above
I just said im not sure where to go with this
how would i use that in thiscase
a ^ 2 + b^2 = c ^2
but
what does aspect ratio mean
the ratio of the width to height of a screen
ohh
so those would be the legs
legs?
of the right triangle
oh. Yes
I mean if they have given the width, the aspect ratio is irrelevent , I don't know why they have even given it
okay so i found that
b ^ 2 = sqrt ( 176.75)
i get this but
yeah,looks right
using ratios you'd get anothe answer, but the value is approximately the same
@craggy spire Has your question been resolved?
how would i solve this

@neat oracle Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
yes
also don't think this is gonna fix whatever you're worried about but just saying
sorry
check if ln(5-x) is the integral or derivative of a function with known power series
these two will give you two different power series centered at different points
x=4 vs. x=0
make up your mind as to which one you want
in first case i just substituted (4-x) in series of ln(1+x) and calculated R
in second i substituted x/5 in series of ln(1-x)
so why is radius of convergence different in each case
just the centered point should be different
well in this case it's because you run into trouble at x=5
so the interval of convergence cannot extend past that
in which case ?
i dont get it is one of the method wrong ?
for the function ln(5-x)
no,
cuz one gives radius of convergence as 1 but another gives 5
the radius of convergence can and does depend on the point around which the power series is centered!
if i write series in each case will they be same ?
term by term basis
no, the series won't be the same
one is in powers of x, while the other is in powers of (x-4)

How is the answer 120°
I do know the property that when theres a triangle on complex no. Plane, and it's 3 vertices are cube roots of unity
Then the angle subtended by the inner traingle at origin is 120
But
Here in This question it isn't specified that there's a triangle who's 3rd vertix is 1
So howd we presume the angle to be 120
the third vertex is orgin not 1 isnt that specified ?
the angle between w and w^2 is always 120 regardless of any triangle being made or not
he made it just for visualization
u can calculate that
At origin particularly?
if u know the values of w and w^2
then use the tan inverse formula
to find that they are complex conjugate
and argument is 120 and -120
so it makes sense

@neat oracle righr
But the 120° will be only at origin right?
Another doubt
this channel is taken by solo rn
As in?
choose a channel from #math help available
Ok
Technically there are infinite points on which it will subtend 120° and those lie on a circle.
I was trying using square of sum of integrals
Whats fullform of it ?
Again nothing
It is in romanian
I translated it
f,g:[0,1]->R continuous functions and that integral in the second image is 0. Show that inequality the first image

Why did we take this negative sign , when the final result woulda beem cos π/4 regardless
@hasty bone Has your question been resolved?
well the argument is negative, you're just plugging that in
@hasty bone Has your question been resolved?
Howd u assume that
I didn't, it would help if you plotted the number (not z but the complex number inside the ( • )^25
and see where it would end up, so what its argument must be
if you mean cosine of both, then think about the angle that forms on a circle

I don't understand how the line C = I relates to the C = f(I) function
The intersect at I = 10
But what does that imply
consumption should not be higher than income
in this case I believe C = f(I) represents a consumption and line C = I represents an income
well
so we should have f(I) < I which is for I >= 10
I am just curious how
we related a completely different function for income
with this one?
is it because it's given as a function in the question itself?
or because it's inherently related
f(I) could differ due to the country, here they say it's given by C = f(I) = sqrt(20 + 8I)
yes

when doing integration with integrting factors, keeping all the constants of integrations where they should be, i get to the general solution.
in here they are separating the particular and the homogeneous.
fox example here i would put a c at the end.
but in my process i would not have divided yet by t.
i would still have
ctx +k = ct^4/4 + c1
i can sub the k, it would merge witht he other c1 and it becomes
ctx = ct^4/4 + c1
then solve for x
x = ct^4/4ct + c1/ct
becomes
x = t^3/4 + c2/t
c2 is by expanding c1/ct into c1/c * 1/t
so in the end i get to the general solution. but the homogeneous is already there.
i don't understand exactly why they are separating the part and homog.
they don't need to do it in full generality
they just need to find one particular solution
because then they know how all solutions look
it is easier if you can just drop some constants because you just want one solution

I thought you just swapped t with x but idrk what to do with the numerator dt
Do you know what the fundamental theorem of calculus states?
f(x)=F(x)=F(b)-F(a)
Nope
Since you need some symbols please use LaTeX or write it on a piece of paper
okay
Have you got the statement in front of you or you are just try to remember it? If it's the second go and check it and then come back here
That's not the fundamental theorem of calculus actually, I'm referring to the one with the derivative of the integral
o ok hold on i see it in my notes
That second one ftc 1
Yep
This one @tender anchor
This is correct, but that's not what you need in the exercise

How does this work?
How do i find a missing length of a bisector?
a squared + b squared = c squared
Indeed. What does this apply to?

For this, if i substitute the numbers
that would leave me with a^2 + 5^2=9^2

Hello
It can probably simply be stated that k+j != k and thus that’s it’s not in L
If I let j = 0, that equality works though
The pumping lemma has two statements that confuse me involving v, one is that |v| > 0 and the other being that uv^iw is in L for i >= 0
I’d like to get an explanation as to why doing that would not satisfy one of those two statements.
Is it issue that it would only work if i = 0 and that it wouldn’t past that?…
Hey! I'll take a look
The pumping lemma says you can choose j to be anything > 0
And it should still be in the language L
Because that's not true for this string, that means that L must not be regular
Ah, thanks for the enlightenment
I was kind of confused, because one of the condition is |v| > 0 as well
and it feels like if j is always zero, then |v| = 0?
Probably not, that’s likely just something for empty strings in general I guess
Yeah if j = 0 then you're basically not changing the string at all (you're pumping an empty string)
So it's like, of course that's still in the language L since the original string was in L!
You only get something new if j > 0
Alright, thank you very much
No problem!

Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
Sorry just to clarify: i + j also has to be ≤ k as you said
Since k is the pumping length

Dealing with a difficult calculus optimization proble, i'm hoping some1 can help me
Here is what I did:
Basically, i checked my answers with someone else and they converted the 5 degrees to radians, and got only 1.6ish m/s while i got 97m/s. They said 97 m/s is too fast for a kite
To me, that doesn't make sense since the problem definition provides radians as a measurement for both
faster than trains
so is dtheta/dt only calculated in radians?
yeah i know it makes sense, it's too fast, but im struggling to understand why mine is wrong.
derivative of sintheta isn't costheta if theta is in degrees
it's like costheta / 180
(this is, i think, the most compelling reason to use radians)
hmm not sure i compltely understand
i took the derivative of costheta which is -sintheta
that's only true if theta is measured in radians
so where did i go wrong in my work? i need to convert 76 to radians?
because the people i check with, they convert -5 degrees to radians
i guess because its a function of time
yeah, or use the derivative formula $\dv{\theta}\cos\theta^\circ = -\sin\theta^\circ\cdot\frac{\pi}{180}$
Hayley
which is basically the same thing as converting it to radians
nothing to do with time, it's just because the derivative of cosine is sine, but only if we're using radians, otherwise it's scaled
is it because the unit circle
uh
i guess?
it's related to the fact that $\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\sin x}{x} = 0$ but again only in radians

I don't need help, but I have an upcoming exam and would like some challenging algebra 1 problems for about 7 different topics. If this is not the place for this kind of stuff please tell me.
I'd ask in #prealg-and-algebra

Is it possible to find the x?
I dont think so
Ok so with only these info its impossible to find out
Yes
So I doubt the problem I had wants me to do a triangle
This is what I did to find the angle where the block loses contact with surface
I was then asked to find the distance x that the block traveled
and BCD is an arc - quarter of the circle
Yeah but the distance is to E
ye ik, but
BE is a stright line? or you didn't assume that
like you made a triangle
and it doesn't seem so
I assumed
Thats defently a mistake
Youre suggesting i make it a quarter of cylinder?
Calculate the arc
Find the x till d?
well, I got
Wait cant i do an arc with e?
x is approx 4.293?
ah I thought you have the answers
Makes sense
@alpine sable Has your question been resolved?
I did 1cos(76.53)
It didnt work
The answer is supposed to be 1.37m
What is, in a right triangle, the cosine of an angle? Do you remember Sohcahtoa
Cosine is adj of the angle
Sine is opposite of angle
Thats how we calculate vector forces
Cos is adj/ hyp
If thats what you wanted
Yeah, so in your drawing, you have hypotenuse x, angle 76.53 and adjacent side 1. Which among cos/sin/tan would you choose?
Yes that's it correct 👍
are sure about theta solution?
Yes because thats the answer in the book
13.5
Degrees
There is probably some curvilinear equation I am missing
Well CE is an arch of a parabola, I suppose the block when it detaches it starts free parabolic motion
Hence CE is not a side of a right triangle
Yep

I know how to mostly do these
but im wondering how the correct second question answer is 2 leq n leq 12
what they mean by this
"both ice roll 1, which is 2"
and "the bound is inclusive, because we know the probability of obtaining that sum 1/36"
where did they get 2 and 1/36 bruh bruh
and where did they get that 12
Domain is just the values of n you can have
Obviously if you roll 2 normal fair 6 sided dice
The sum of the sides won’t be 1
Since that’s not possible we just say 1 is not in the domain
Well what is in the domain then
yea
sorry I was thinking in general terms
is what i thought you meant
x is (n) in this ocasion
Yea
what do they mean by the "lower bound is 2"
Well what values can n take
well
you cant roll 1.10947109749714
so
it would be interger numbers
1
2
3
4
6
And you want the sum of the rolls
so it can only be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Nope
You rolled a pair of dice
And you’re recording down the sum
im blind
so that's how she got
12
because the the max
you can get
when rolling
and
bro
...
Yep
yep
i didn't see **pair ** of dice
i thought she was only rolling one
maybe I should work on my reading skills
thanks for helping again. I think I'm blind
It is definitely tricky trying to do maths without reading the question
or I should read more carefully
Can’t say I haven’t done that before

cant do maths if you can't read
I'm use to speed reading through books
so
I do the same for everything
not paying attention to deletes
gonna have to start doing that

help
if we just look at the numbers themselves
$\frac{16\cdot9}{4} = \frac{\cancelto{4}{16}\cdot9}{\cancelto{1}{4}} = \frac{36}{1}$
Hayley
oh thanks that clears it up
i was using the negative exponent rule and flipping the fraction before simplifying the numbers
you should be able to do it in any order
but some of them are easier to work with than others
well keep in mind that the exponent only applies to those variables
like on the top it's $16(a^{-10/3})$, not $(16a)^{-10/3}$
Hayley
yeah
if i flipped the 16 and 4 before using the negative exponent rule then it wouldnt simplify the same
i would have 36 over 16
you can't flip the 16 and 4 though
oh wait
those don't have neg exponents
i see what you mean
so the coefficient doesnt get flipped when using the negative exponent rule?
just the variable
Hayley
so they're separate things

There’s a typo?
a just went to the top without getting a - in the exponent
That second line is false it normally should be divided by a^3
so what would the correct answer be?
@grand hornet Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
It will be the same but instead of that thingy being multiplied by a^3 it will be divided by it
Yes

How do I write the domain for a removable discontinuity like this again?
I’m not a math person and haven’t done this in a while so tbh I don’t know what that means
You could just do all real x ≠ 5
(-infinity,x) is how I write mine
Ah
Oh wait
Sorry I misread the question
The domain is just (-inf, inf)
The function is defined for every x on the reals
because the function isn't continuous at x=5 but is defined
If it’s not continuous at -5 why is the domain (-inf,inf)
(-inf,-5) U (-5,inf)?
Sorry it was cut off here but you said domain 😅
Yes
Yeah I didn’t know the difference at first
I skipped odds
Not exactly the same
(-inf,1) U [1,inf)?
Awesome 😎 my professor is going super fast through the calc review but 2/3 of the class doesn’t even remember trig stuff let alone the calc so it’s been a struggle
Yeah I would always just relearn it before the exam and then forget it right after
Rip
I guess if you want them to stick you'll just have to do a lot of problems until you're fluent
I forget them a lot of times as well and even I think I'm good at calc lol
The thing is I don’t need math for anything I want to do later on and I only need 1 calc class, I have no love for math (except stats, love stats) so I just want to get it over with 😭
aww math is awesome you just need someone to teach you right :)
I came from a pretty poor rural school so yeah the education wasn’t the best, but I always get math related anxiety and idk why
or rather in a way that works better for you, esp if you don't like lecture based learning
Like I’m fine doing the homework and studying but once I sit for the exam I get scared before I even start and then it goes downhill from there even though I usually know what I’m doing, doesn’t happen with other subjects tho
remember math doesn't change before you take a test
just practice and try to find a way that you understand it. I love math because there's usually one solution but many different ways to approach it :)
at least it's not like english where you're right or wrong or both or neither at the same time and
(laughs in CH)
or there's 131 different ways to define "set" 
😬😬😬
"What is the definition of set in the given context?" 
one thing that annoys me about maths is the terminology
why does "normal" mean 18361972 different things in different contexts
maybe we shouldn't be having a convo in a help section but oh well
nahhh it's fine 
Ok but the thing about English is that you’re always right if you explain it well enough
But also it’s so subjective
I’ll get all positive feedback from the professor yet never 100%
How does that even make sense ?
Ikr what a moment
I've heard it's a blessing to get over 70% in an English uni course lol
Hacker
But I’m not going to take high level English cuz it’s not my major
I’m neuroscience and/or psych rn, still deciding
Prob the higher you go the worse it gets
Well I mean I don't have to study English next year cuz in the UK it's not mandatory for ur last two years of high school
Damnnnn
Good luck with whichever you choose
Lmao for us math isn’t required but English is
😭
I haven’t seen some of the stuff I’m learning in so long lmao
I'm like full on done with english
It's crazy how i probably won't study it for the rest of my life
But it's therapeutic to think about that
is a college different from high school
College is university
Good because if you went to a US one they’d make u take writing again lmao
😭😭

what a beautiful name btw
Thanks
Lmfaoo ok
But they're just asking for the fraction of the circumference taken up by arc AB
like if it was pi, that's 1/2 the circle
if it was pi/2, that's 1/4 the circle
etc
well 45 degrees = pi/4
they said it should be less than pi/4
so you want something a bit smaller
there's more than one right answer
anything between pi/6 and pi/4 will work
Yeah
we don't know anything about diameter
How do we know the circumference
AB
@tranquil pivot
Are you here Abdullah?
Opposite the 30 degree angle can be 1cm circumference
or 5
or 163622
because we don't know the total circumference of the circle, (hence we dont know its diameter)
value range of x is (0,∞)
you write there like this lol

So I don't get why did the angle b turned clockwise as it says in first statement instead of like counterclockwise or anything
It's about proving the sum difference identity
clockwise because it's negative
Ohh since bcs the radius of circle turns counterclockwise right?
so $\beta$ measured clockwise is the same as $-\beta$ measured counterclockwise
Hayley
yeah CCW is the default
