  1. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  2. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
+close
  1. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  2. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  3. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

'Opposite' of differentiation

#

And area under curves

Not really inverse

#

S df/dx dx isn't f

#

It's f+c

#

So that composition isn't identity

#

Hence the '' on opposite...

Yeah

#

Think before commenting catthumbsup

#

Ideally not commenting on channels that are already being helped in as well

#

Since now we've drowned out the response

You were taught wrong then

iron lotus
#

Polar coordinates would be area between two rays

prisma hemlock
#

What's that? An integral gives you areas between lines in the plane??

#

Who knew integrals tell you area under curves, oh wait

iron lotus
#

polar is different

prisma hemlock
#

Are you going to contribute anything useful or continue being an annoyance?

iron lotus
#

polar coordinates are (r,theta)

prisma hemlock
#

No shit Sherlock

iron lotus
#

😃

prisma hemlock
#

But let's see if you have common sense

#

Are polar coords required to learn integrals?

iron lotus
#

no

prisma hemlock
#

So if you explain integrals for the 1st time... do you spend the 1st lesson on polar coords?

#

No

#

You dont

#

So any discussion of polar coords are useless

#

Now

iron lotus
#

I was saying polar for u not for the person learning it the first time

prisma hemlock
#

I'm not OP

iron lotus
#

?

Again, if you don't have anything useful to contribute to the channel, stop wasting our time and polluting a help channel
