wait its not right

[jagged forge]

google says it's ln |sec x + tan x| + C but arctanh(sin x) is probably the same thing

[neat lintel]

I messed up with du

its $$arctanh(sin(x)) + C$$ not $$-arctanh(sin(x)) + C$$

[fathom swallow]

[silver stratus]

Is it all right to start at a community college for your first college to strengthen your prerequisite knowledge before applying to another, harder to get into college? how would it affect my chances to get into the harder college if at all?

[neat lintel]

What country?

[silver stratus]

texas

[neat lintel]

Have you done any clep exams?

[silver stratus]

B)

[vast surge]

Perfectly acceptable and rather commonplace.

[silver stratus]

no i have not done clep exams

[vast surge]

Plenty of people do it to strengthen their applications or just to save money because community college is cheaper than the 4-year colleges

[neat lintel]

I would recommend self studying and completing clep exams for credits before going to community college

If you use https://modernstates.org/ you can do the exams for free

[vast surge]

But I don't know what clep exams are so I'll defer on this.

[silver stratus]

mhh ok, do clep exams give college credit or highschool credit?

[neat lintel]

college credits

https://clep.collegeboard.org/

[silver stratus]

oh alr, i already got some college credits from dual credit programs

should is still do clep exams considering that fact?

[silver stratus]

thats what i was thinking too

[neat lintel]

depends on what subject you're taking the exam for.
If you already have credits for the subject then no

[vast surge]

At the end of the day, it also doesn't matter whether you take (for example) differential equations in a highschool with advanced courses or a community college or a university; the material is pretty standard in the US curriculum.

What matters is that you do the most challenging math possible in the circumstances you're in, and whether you manage to do well at it

[silver stratus]

ok according to that i already have a pretty strong application. ill apply to the community colleges i had in mind but should i apply to the harder colleges at the same time or wait till i've finished community college?

[vast surge]

I don't see why not.

[silver stratus]

ok sounds good 👍

thx so much y'all

@white temple favourite songs?

She Wanted to Leave brings a tear to my eye every time.

[white temple]

i was gonna say she wanted to leave

"i don't want it" is one of the best songs i've ever heard

[topaz swift]

on the funny side, i love the one about ordering take out, don't remember the name

[white temple]

pollo asado

[topaz swift]

right

never heard anything like this before

favourite album?

[white temple]

mollusk or quebec

[topaz swift]

as cliche as it is (since it's probably their most popular), mine's Mollusk

[white temple]

i can't stand white pepper

[topaz swift]

how come

there's many good songs there

Stroker Ace is one of my favourites

Flutes of Chi, etc.

[white temple]

it just rubs me the wrong way honestly

[topaz swift]

i like pretty much all of their stuff, only album i don't "get" is GWS

but i don't listen to the first 3 that often

[white temple]

it kinda reminds me of sgt peppers lonely hearts club band and i hate sgt pepper (i love the beatles tho)

[topaz swift]

well i love SP

[white temple]

don't get wrong i love the beatles

revolver is one of my favorite albums

[topaz swift]

it's very basic, but the opening song is literally one of my favourites of theirs

[white temple]

i just can't get sgt pepper

[white temple]

that's the one i liked the least ngl

[topaz swift]

idk if there's anything to get, it's just a whole bunch of good songs lol

[white temple]

i don't get the appeal

[topaz swift]

right

[white temple]

revolver is some S-tier psychedelic pop

[topaz swift]

i don't love all the songs off SP, e.g. Lucy

[white temple]

but sgt pepper has four good songs imo

[topaz swift]

She's Leaving Home and Day in the Life are fantastic

[white temple]

lucy is a great track

[topaz swift]

i like it, i don't go crazy for it

[white temple]

lucy, those two, and within you without you are the best (and the only good) songs on the album imo

[topaz swift]

my favourite Beatles composition is the Abbey Road medley

AR as a whole is possibly their best album for me, if not for Maxwell

what a stupid fucking song, Lennon was right on that

shitting on Paul's "granny rock"

[white temple]

i get GWS bc it's just boomer shitposting

[topaz swift]

i "get" it in that sense, i just don't really like it or listen to it

[white temple]

yeah some of GWS sucks but that's kinda the point yk

[topaz swift]

i love that one song tho, what was it called

weasel i think, lemme check

[white temple]

i gots a weasel?

[topaz swift]

no, Tick

that's what i was looking for

[white temple]

tick is great

[topaz swift]

love the manic energy of it

and Don't Laugh is great too

great early indication of their ability to write soft, touching songs

of which they've got surprisingly many

what i don't get is why they're not releasing any new material

they've been back together for the past ~7 years and touring hard for a good chunk of it, so it stands to the reason they've got their mojo back and are in the flow of things again

at the very least, considering the massive amount of their B-sides, they could release Shinola 2, if not record something new

Schools seriously need to stop grading people on a subject they have not completed yet

[mint patio]

Anyone do any thermodynamics/heat transfer and want to help me understand turbobasic concepts? :sadge:

[neat lintel]

Are university textbooks just intentionally bloated?

I downloaded the calc 2 textbook that my college is using and it's over 1300 pages

CLP-2 is only around ~400 pages

atleast 100 pages of CLP-2 is just exercises as well

I do not understand the 1000 page difference

[mint patio]

What is CLP-2

Are you sure your text is only for calc 2

Because our textbook for calc 1 and calc 2 and calc 3 is the same, it's just "calculus" and covers all the way from diffcal to multivar

So it's quite thick

In addition a lot of these gened calc books include a section reviewing basic algebra and trigonometry, even stuff you review later on (like sequences, summations, hyperbolic sine/cosine, etc)

So that contributes to it

[neat lintel]

Yeah, just looked at it's contents

It seems to have stuff

The textbook my class has seems to be calculus 1, 2 and 4

They skip calculus 3 for some reason

[neat lintel]

https://math.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Calculus/CLP-2_Integral_Calculus_(Feldman_Rechnitzer_and_Yeager)

[languid marten]

What is calculus 4 ?

[neat lintel]

Vector calculus

[languid marten]

Isn't it like the subset of multivariable calc?

(Which includes calculus of scalar valued multivariate funcitons as well)

[river moon]

nobody agrees on what is calculus 4

[languid marten]

Yeah it sounds dumb, it should be single variable calc and multivariable calc (vector calc being a subset of mvc)

[mental stratus]

i agree

[flint basin]

Americans (and Canadians) need to split calc into 4 classes for some reason

[woven whale]

calc 16 is algebraic geometry

[velvet dagger]

I mean it's because single variable calculus often takes a full year to do

[jagged forge]

guess I'll never master calculus then

About to leave

@fluid hinge but here's a hint

[fluid hinge]

Yes

[neat lintel]

What do you think these these two angles are

what value

[fluid hinge]

They’re the same

[neat lintel]

no

[fluid hinge]

90?

[long matrix]

360

[languid marten]

Why is y given though, just to confuse?

[fluid hinge]

The y is not given

[fluid hinge]

The question is to prove that 2x -y = 90

[languid marten]

Ahh okay

[neat lintel]

Did you solve the problem?

[fluid hinge]

No, someone gave me a solution but I didn’t quite understand it I can send it to you

[neat lintel]

I already know the solution

[neat lintel]

Was that person in this server?

[fluid hinge]

Yea

They sent me a circumferential angle theorem

I didn’t find an explanation on YouTube

[neat lintel]

wut

[fluid hinge]

It’s the same as the “angle at the center of a circle is twice the angle on the circumference of a circle”

Ima ask my teacher tomorrow tho

[neat lintel]

Bro i'm gonna lose my mind

I think this lady just scheduled me for a psychology tutoring session instead of physics

I hate biology

[neat lintel]

How do you guys talk to your tutors?

[neat lintel]

I know that the D angle is equal to the angle in BTC (Because of something i just read today), that is 90° - x°, and the TÔC angle would just be 180° - 2x°

And I actually did something a lot more messy

But I couldn't get any number value 😭

My interactions feels like a financial transaction

[solid yarrow]

why do you think so?

[neat lintel]

THe question isn't asking for the number value

[neat lintel]

It's asking you to prove 2x -y = 90

Oh

[neat lintel]

Idk, I kinda just go in. Say I have some things I'm confused about. They help me understand. I say thank you. "I don't have anymore questions"
"Have a great day, bye!"

[solid yarrow]

Well, I guess it's just a more professional level.

Like not a social level like with your parents or friends

[neat lintel]

Oh, so I got the aswer

[solid yarrow]

What do you think is so bad about this kind of interaction? @neat lintel

[neat lintel]

IDk, my first teacher said it's bad so

They said something along the lines of

Don't ask for favors if all your interactions with me are just a transactions

I made sure to buy them books, make origami for them and send them compliments

Then i asked for a letter of recommendation :)

[neat lintel]

They didn't say this directly to me.
But to the class

[solid yarrow]

Well, it's like taking and giving.

In someway it's good that it's a transactions, so both sides get something out of it.

Why aren't classes more like this?

Less numbers and more proving

[glossy crescent]

Sounds fun

[lavish kayak]

who here understands coding

why are components called components in react and not just functions

they seem to literally return a bunch of js/css/html

why the complicated name(s)?

[glossy crescent]

Components in what language?

[glossy crescent]

Their choice/decision

Like they, for some reason, decided to make "print" as System.out.println() in java

What kind of blockhead thought it would be a good idea

Maybe even the world's most hated command line

[lavish kayak]

react calls the functions it allows you to insert inside <> tags "components"

system.out. whatever is ok that's where the function lives

[glossy crescent]

Oooo like HTML or JS you mean?

[alpine comet]

I can be wrong, I haven't touched JS for years. But the idea is they are not functions. Strictly speaking, they are methods for classes.

React lets you define components as classes or functions. Components defined as classes currently provide more features which are described in detail on this page.
-- legacy.reactjs.org

you can of course make them function. It's purely for organisation purpose: code is more robust and organised this way. When you see a method, you know exactly what it acts on, and what it's supposed to do. As opposed to functions in JS, which inherently have no types, and thus can do whack-shit.

[alpine comet]

OOP is actually a very important concept. The idea is that you can build small modules independently (or, assign such tasks to other people), and then use them as black boxes. You don't need to know how it works behind the scene, only what it does, and the fact that it does exactly what you want.

[lavish kayak]

the modern react page actually recommends to define them as functions

[glossy crescent]

Maybe I am an incompetent programmer

Forgive my ignorance, lord

[lavish kayak]

and there is no actual documentation of what is a component when it is defined as a function

just a link to a newbie tutorial

[alpine comet]

to be fair, React is outdated. SWEs I know already moved on from it quite some time.

It was most popular maybe 6 years ago. Now? Ehh

[glossy crescent]

Even I forgot how to react

[lavish kayak]

Well, me and my buddy are doing a small project so it's interesting

i'd like to learn a bit. I always get frustrated by the way frameworks are written and give up

why can't they write documentations like mathematicans? le dramatic sigh

[alpine comet]

React in particular, and JS in general, is like French. You will probably eventually learn to love it and to love cursing about it.

[alpine comet]

try write a doc yourself. It's a frustrating thankless job.

[lavish kayak]

yeah i know

excellent

This does not cause any confusion whatsoever

[flint basin]

legit a delta

[long matrix]

its an integral

[jagged forge]

yeah the trick is now when I write delta I just think “g”

[long matrix]

[jagged forge]

and then I write g’s normally

[long matrix]

g

[flint basin]

my s kinda looks like a h sometimes

[glossy crescent]

Don't you put a line at the top? Not the bottom

[long matrix]

u might be referring to this

but this is diff

[glossy crescent]

No I am not

i can write my vectors upside down to designate they are vectors

just notation

[glossy crescent]

My AP Physics C textbook had a line at the top

[flint basin]

[glossy crescent]

That's why I thought of it like that

[long matrix]

i hope u burnt it

[glossy crescent]

Unfortunately not

[jagged forge]

arrows above variables are common for vectors

[glossy crescent]

I wish I had sold it on e-bay

[long matrix]

well if not, then feel free to dump a pic of it

[jagged forge]

at least until you get far enough in math

[flint basin]

or parentheses

Let me write FGFGFv

[jagged forge]

ok that looks bad lol

$\hat{n}$

[fathom swallow]

[long matrix]

hat means unit, u do know that right

[jagged forge]

yeah, the unit vector i

or n for normal

[glossy crescent]

Yeah, a unit vector

wow, this establishes an Associative Unital Algebra containing a vectorspace whose product satisfies v^2 = B(v,v) for v in the vectorspace and some symmetric bilinear form B

It's clifford algebra time!

Fun fact, the quaternions are isomorphic to the clifford algebra Cl(0,2)

Because of this, I know thanks to Hestenes, Lasenby, etc. That the endomorphism algebra of the quaternions is the clifford algebra Cl(2,2)

[glossy crescent]

I didn't find it yet

[zealous garden]

Interestingly, Cl(2,2) contains a copy of the lie algebra so(4)

[jagged forge]

wait what. thats cool

[long matrix]

∫(f'(x)g(x))dx = f(x)g(x) - ∫(f(x)g'(x))dx

[zealous garden]

This aligns with the observation that you can perform rotations in 4 dimensions on the quaternions, by using left and right multiplication maps of quaternions

I am of the opinion that $f^n(x) = f^{\circ n}(x)$ and should never be used for $f(x)^n$. Do you think there's a good argument for the other way?

[fathom swallow]

nHail

[zealous garden]

the best argument that I think exists is the trig functions

[neat lintel]

You are correct

[stone ferry]

The first time I saw $\sin^2(x)$ I thought it meant $\sin(\sin(x))$ still.

[fathom swallow]

nHail

[zealous garden]

Me too

I still have to remind myself

[stone ferry]

It's somewhat useful if you have one of those profs who writes sin without parens

Because $\sin x^2$ could mean $\sin(x^2)$

[fathom swallow]

nHail

[neat lintel]

It's not useful

That prof should learn how to write

[normal zenith]

The ambiguity of sin^n x/sinx^n is overrated honestly.

[storm sage]

I think it's fine to have the usecase dependent on context

(sin x)^2 occurs far more frequently than sin(sin x)

also functions into a ring form a ring themselves and the ring operation is pointwise multiplication

so in that case, f^2 literally is f * f

you can also have functions from X to itself which form a monoid and in that case, f^2 would be f composed f

[little vine]

Stewart is fine for calc 3

Old editions are cheap on thriftbooks.com

As for physics

I can't really speak to I have "Classical Mechanics ' by kibble but it assumes comfortable calculus

It's probably overkill for phys101 I just picked it up in case I ever want to learn about it

[neat lintel]

CLP series is great
https://personal.math.ubc.ca/~CLP/

(Jearl Walker - Halliday & Resnick Fundamentals of Physics. Volume 1) is decent

[mint patio]

Yeah stimulants suppress your appetite

And Vyvanse lasts long

I want to switch from my current antidepressant to Wellbutrin for that reason

Since it also helps with weight loss I believe

We make $300k as a family and we’re still kinda struggling

[solid yarrow]

Aslong as you pay for the military

[mint patio]

Isn’t military free? Idk much abt US :^)

[solid yarrow]

I mean most of the governments money is put into military. Therefore tax = military, ig.

[peak tide]

12%, not really "most"

[solid yarrow]

Really?

Only 12?

Then how can they afford so much stuff

[peak tide]

probably add a couple of percent for indirect military spending i guess

and for interest on the debt incurred by previous military spending

[wet mortar]

ah but they also pay more tax towards healthcare despite not having universal healthcare

[solid yarrow]

Isn't the US very heavy in debt because of military.

?

Like a few billions

[glossy crescent]

A lot

[neat lintel]

Trillion

[mint patio]

Yeah I thought United States was the country that put the most towards their military

By far

[peak tide]

well it's very heavy in debt because of overspending, i don't know if you can pinpoint exactly what they overspent on, it depends on which spending you thought was unnecessary i guess haha

[solid yarrow]

Healthcare is still nowhere near the one in Europe.

[peak tide]

i think that's true, but the US also has by far the biggest economy

you can afford a thumping big military when you have trillions to work with

There’s no source for that pie chart. It’s from Quora 😝

https://data.oecd.org/healthres/health-spending.htm

[solid yarrow]

https://oaeblog.com/2020/05/17/healthcare-germany-america/

[flint basin]

what is all of this money going towards if not univ healthcare

[peak tide]

people over 65 have more or less universal healthcare (medicare), and that age bracket is where the vast majority of health care spending occurs

[solid yarrow]

Just as an example. I picked Germany (since I live there), but it shouldn't be too different from the other states.

[peak tide]

not sure if they're also counting the cost of health insurance for government workers, but probably they are

[wet mortar]

this says germany is better doesn't it

why did you send me this

[peak tide]

says germany has cheaper health care most likely, but that's probably true of every non-US country

[flint basin]

cheaper, universal, and better

[wet mortar]

yeah so

this supports my opinion

[solid yarrow]

Ok... cool

?

[peak tide]

i guess on the downside, you don't get to earn a million bucks a year or whatever if you're a surgeon in germany

[flint basin]

okay and

dont need a million bucks a year anyways

[wet mortar]

but yeah it's funny

in the us more government money is spent on healthcare per capita

even though they don't even have it universally

[flint basin]

no coverage until $10000 deductible is paid

[peak tide]

sure, just pointing out there's a reason it's so expensive in the US, it's not like the money just disappears, the providers are all high earners

[flint basin]

(most people cannot afford a $400 emergency)

[vocal vessel]

“Damn we don’t have access to decent healthcare. But at least surgeons are millionaires. I can sleep better at night now.”

[peak tide]

it's a lot better than it used to be, now most people can at least get health insurance and if they can't afford it, they get subsidies. That's only since about ten years ago tho

[flint basin]

but that still doesn't account for this difference I don't think

[peak tide]

the surgeons sleep better at night!

[wet mortar]

the difference is it goes into they gottdamn pockets

[vocal vessel]

America is gross

[flint basin]

sure it makes a difference, but it's much more than just the surgeons and doctors being paid more

Moreso big pharma CEOs

and whatnot

[peak tide]

"providers" includes the gigantic apparatus of administration as well (not unlike the education system, there's a shit-ton of overhead)
