Alright. Well then; seeing as you learned relativity when you were only 9, you must know it quite well, right?
Probably
Suppose from a point in an inertial frame, two particles are shot out simultaneously in orthogonal directions, with constant velocity c/2 (relative to our inertial reference frame). What are their speeds relative to eachother?
I think that that's implied
0.661c
Do you care to show your work?
I'm going to be honest, this was so fast, and your delay to explain your work is taking so long, that I feel as if you had to have just used some online calculator to figure this out.
It winds up being correct; maybe it's just that I'm not a physicist, but I can not do those computations that fast.
Could you not have used latex?
ALSO HOW DARE U DISS THE GREATEST ART TOOL MSPAINT
Using MS paint for this feels like more effort than texing.
thats why its funny
Reading that feels like more work than actually working it out myself.
Btw am I right
Yeah
How did you get it that fast?
. @buoyant trail
Good I thought I confused a prism for a cube again
Jesus fucking christ; am I just an idiot who needs more than one minute with pen and paper to do these sorts of computations?
How did you get that that fast?
I mean, it's a relatively easy problem, but 2 minutes still feels fast to me.
I figured out what 8 tetration is
huh
Like at one point when I was sleep deprived
not even that impressive
It's doable; but in this case, it helps that Bravo is lying.
Do you think you can teach an 8 year old calculus?
it's doable...
no way who's that superhuman
im playing yugioh over this btw
well it might be doable because I haven't really been to something calculusy yet
Limits?
yea I know limits but I don't know what they do in graphs
I only used it for my theory
What do you mean what they do in graphs?
Depends on the 8 year old. If they have the correct prerequisites, certainly.
No, I mean an 8 year old with an average education
There are people only a couple years older than you with research publications. I think the youngest math phd awarded was 15 when he got his phd, and 12 or 13 when he entered the program.
teach me calculus 🙏and if God exists I pray and repent everyday for you till I die so u can go to heaven confirmed.
why do you use uncommon words
Oh, that's next to impossible.
You don't have the prerequisite
If I'm lucky, I can maybe teach an 8 year old with the average education that crayons are for drawing, not for eating.
crayons taste good tho
See, it's shit like this that makes me doubt your claim that you learned taylor series and relativity when you were 8.
At the same time, somehow.
what is the Taylor's series
sounds like a Taylor Swift new album
but whys it in calculus
It's when you write functions in terms of very very long polynomials.
It's not important for now; you'll get to it when you get to it.
a set of lego blocks to traumatize you like my opponent he keeps pausing the game
You'll get to that one quite soon in the book.
Just keep reading.
have fun usap
enjoy your next 24 hours
I'm gonna die then
It’s a formula that you can use to approximate the values of functions basically. Like sin(0.1)
The real definition is a little different, but that gets the idea
Yeah, that isn’t the official definition
Yeah. [This is the official definition.](#1364337781102612702 message)
Wait, how do you do that hyperlink thing?
Step 1. Be awesome
yes, we all know that if the polynomial is not very very long, its not a taylor series 
@buoyant trail
You'll get to trig when you get to it.
someone is
"math"ing on me
can y'all back me up
I'm scared
this guy apparently did this when he was 8
and he asked me the question
I couldn't do it
do u understand any of this?
I understand it.
Don't try.
Solving qartic equations is a weird use of time.
Just focus on the book I gave you.
alright
but he's 18 and he did this (logically someone who completed high school)
I'm definitely not gonna be able to do that
You just said he did it when he was 8
he told me he *was able to do it when he was 8
don't worry about me just focus on page 60
god, you are begging for attention bravo
Why are we giving attention then
because it's infinity (GET IT?
infinity? You're name?
)
Maybe he's insanely smart, maybe he's trolling either way you should focus on improving yourself rather than focusing on how fast others progressed.
hmm yeah
I should do that
alright I go studying bye bye
btw usap, why did you try to answer the integral guy in the other channel?
You want to learn calculus early? Learn your pre calc or whatever it's called there, lots of trigonometry, basic logs and exponentials
you havent learned calc
I was tryna give him motivation
and try to understand what it means
but to no avail
hmm alr
thats good, but dont give him advice on what he needs to do
Yeah
k
hey guys
@tame lynx @pear @itsf @wary kindle @etc...
Research Paper- Orius.docx
can you take a look at this and find the flaw or where I'm going wrong
I'm not gonna read the whole thing, i don't have time for this
but i can give it a quick look
i'm very confused
you define a sequence (f_n are not functions btw, theyre just numbers)
then you seem to "suppose" that you can evaluate the terms in a certain amount of time
and conclude that you can "create a boundary on the number line"
doesn't make any sense to me
"Orius(A)" is not a number
because your sequence diverges
Well for one, computing each fn (A) requires an amount of work that grows faster than any finite bound, so the whole bounded computational duration thing is just wrong.
I suggest you stick to the book
Also, I think you forgot to fill in something
“For example, describes unbounded growth…”
lots of fancy words to open with, not a good sign, the document is remarkably well formated given it's ms word
game over.. 😦
yea chat gpt wrote that, I just did the equations
you'd do a lot better job to retain the reader if you wrote in a more neutral manner
damn
oh, did you add a reference to gpt at the end?
so it does reach the end tho, for example 1/2 + 1/4.... = 1
uh uh
so why can't this go to the end?
if each function (A up-arrow-fn number of arrows)
I'm not understanding something, why can you say each "function" can be evaluated i a certain given time
that you chose
there is no such thing as specific infinite value 😭
yea but like
Also Orius(A) never converges to any number
why?
because 1/2 + 1/4 +.. = 1
when I read this Im thinking to myself why not just take a really fast growing exponential function
it ticks the box
well yes I took that there
right, but what makes you say you can evaluate them in a chosen time??
because, each thing when u calculate it, takes half the time
why?
so u only go to the next when you finish the time
because for converging
hmmm why
wait why
no but
uhhhh
theoretically it can depend
instead of time think about distance
there's a company that gives u a task of reaching 1 metre
to move however, you have to complete equations
Each equation gets you half way there
i know the series converge.
yea but the value diverges
knuth's up arrow is well defined for natural numbers
I have other things to prove in other sets of numbers, but just talk about this for now
Finishing the steps in 1 second is not the same as the value converging
yea value diverges
but it does end
that's why infinity ends
....
You don't understand what i'm trying to tell you. What makes you say that each "function" can be evaluated in some time?
hmmm
axiom of choice, I say each function takes half the time
So it never settles down on a single number
no but it ends
if it ends doesnt it settle on a single number
well it's infinite in value but
ends
ok so this is a big problem
How
??????????
uh
that's not how it works
let's assume your process is well defined, what you have effectively said that ANY such process completes in 1 second
clearly that's not true
So Orius(A) isn’t a number in R?
yes, because the axiom of choice...
it is
well yes
u can take any number to start with and any time to end with
why not 0 time, then? choice completes in an instant
You yourself said that it never settles down on a single number
because u can't half 0
So, it isn’t a number in R
-1 seconds why not?
it does end tho
ah yes I tried that for going to negative infinity
But not at a value
So, it cant be in R, since it doesn’t even have a fixed value
if A > 1, then Orius (A), assuming it's well defined, is unbounded, or in analysis lingo, the limit is +infinity
so what's the point of introducing this notation to start with
exp(n) grows large too
maybe
yes, but u start with f0, u can't power 0 to A

So, you agree?
maybe.. I'm not sure it doesn't have a reason not to end in real numbers because everything is calculated with a natural number
you don't know this
The point is, you can't compute your sequence of f_n in a finite amount of time, simply because it diverges
not when A <= 1
okay if I say a = >1
but why not
that's not a property of the function, it's just generic nonsense, sry 😦
hmmmm
the real question is why could you
fn (A) diverges to +infinity, so the limit of fn (A) as n approaches infinity doesn’t exist in real numbers.
when you define a function, the very first thing you do is declare its domain AND codomain
since you are talking about limits, you can only mean its codomain is R
if f0 = A^A
then f1 = A {^f0} A
and f2 = A {^f1} A
and fn+1 = A {^fn} A
where Tn = 1/ 2^n+1
so if T = 1 second, f0 completes in 0.5s , f1 only starts when 0.5s is over and f1 takes 0.25s
And f2 takes so and so... till 1s is reached
but then you can't calculate it for ANY real number
fn (A) diverges to +infinity, so the limit of fn (A) as n approaches infinity doesn’t exist in real numbers.
but n approaches T
i mean, thats just wrong
and when it does, the value goes up
how
Let's assume that somehow, someway, this function can be computed in the way you describe. What is the point of it? What problem are you solving?
I’m talking about orius(A)
computing two different numbers doesnt take the same time
n approaches infinity is what u said
T is a part of it
well yes
the second one takes even faster time
and third one even faster
Added T down there too
No
hmmm why not
No, you’re definition of Orius is wrong, since fn (A) diverges to +inf
this sounds like something that could be proved..wink wink 🙂
Fr
guys this conversation is fucking killing me
I'm trying to study
hf
I am not
puff puff and pass 
not ordering, but..expansion? sounds like ordering to me
more nonsense, no explanations, no examples, no references
Correct me if I'm wrong @timid flume but you tried to prove you can "compute infinity" in a finite amount of time. In doing so, you proved anything at all can be computed in a finite amount of time.
I don't know why I'm bothering but, you're not getting attention with this sort of text from anyone
when people introduce novel ideas, an important part of their work is demonstrate technique
hmm maybe
I see
your text only contains claims after claims, there is very little exposition at the start
he's getting attention from you guys
¯_(ツ)_/¯
well we don't matter
not really attention but
we're just some random dudes in a discord chat
you haven't proved anything
fn (A) diverges to +infinity, so the limit of fn (A) as n approaches infinity doesn’t exist in real numbers.
It seems like you just use a lot of buzz words without much meaning or proof or examples as to what you actually mean
you've written a lot of symbols in an array that means very little
Try talk to your teachers
keep learning content, you're realistically not going to come up with groundbreaking research without knowing any maths
it sounds like you're invested in the subject, so keep going! :D
It’s almost* impossible for anyone with a high school education to come up with a concept that revolutionises math
.cough.. Gauss..cough
you can learn above high school level now but you need to learn the high school stuff first, you can't skip stages like that really because a lot of what you're trying to say relies on underlaying topics that you haven't learnt/don't understand properly
let me just say one thing tho
you're taking this very well
a math crank is very resentful whenever their "work" is criticised at all
I see
it's not like I had a high expectation, but was just seeing if it was actually right
with no proofs, there is no way to tell
and like I said, you haven't even formulated a problem which you are attempting to solve
there is nothing to evaluate
that sort of binary off/on thinking won't do you much good either
but it's the age I suppose, just keep learning what you can where you can
if you are really interested in math, look for a seat in a uni
happy sunday 
The computation time if wrong
hm
from which book is the bottom left photo?
Does he know the basic concept on how to do maths btw
They are all from Serge Lang's Basic Mathematics
So they know how to think a different way
Are you sure he's understanding the things you're telling him and not just doing it
Okay, so honestly, I don't have anything that can read .docx files. I can try to convert it to a .pdf or a .odt or something of the sort; but I don't think it's worthwhile. Maybe I'd come up with more or different criticisms than aL did; but at this point, with you having learned the utmost basics of mathematical proof just yesterday and working through Lang's highschool book right now, I also don't think that a research paper is the best use of your time.
I guess I'll ask him a question later and if he gets it right I'll know
Don't try that shit, what's the point of writing a paper if you're letting an ai decide how to fit it together
I'm reading the paper and I am thinking of quitting because the introduction is just a word salad from my perspective
"proving that infinity is not a concept but truly existent" makes no sense. There is no mathematical way to differentiate between conceps and "truly existing"
Every number is a concept from a axiomatic framework. Especially numbers like pi, which are really equivalence classes of cauchy sequences etc etc etc
Infinity is a number when working in the extended reals or in $\mathbb{P}(\mathbb{R})$
Jehare
A better use of your time would be learning math from a academic standpoint, finising highschool quickly is a valid idea, to then get into university quickly. You wouldn't be the only younger person at university.
But it's important to get into university and learn the basics before attempting any advanced math.
Oh and if you choose to ignore me and do more writing, learn LaTeX cause a docx file is horrible
-conventionally, capital letters are matrices, sets, functions, etc, not just numbers in R. I'd change A to like a or just x
-the concept of executing calculations at a certain time without time being used in the equation is not something you need to do. This is solving a practical issue (limited computational time) with a fully theoretic approach of having infinite steps in finite time. You could just say it's a process with countable steps or something, the time-thing doesn't do anything here
-And like I said in my initial response, after the sloppy definitions there really isn't a conclusion to take here. You haven't proven that infinity is a "truly existing" concept and this is definitely not a "formalized, structured view of infinity with potential implications for logic, computation, and number theory."
So again, my advice would be to put all your motivation in finishing highschool and getting unto university, and once you've been at university for a few years revisit these thoughts and start writing serious math.
maybe
Do you know basic symbols i.e. {(ϕ∧ψ)→θ}⊢ϕ→(ψ→θ)?
And if I said ϕ∧(ψ∧θ)ϕ∧(ψ∧θ)\phi, \wedge, left parenthesis, \psi, \wedge, theta, right parenthesis would you know what I mean like would the other be true and and false?
uh
I just know they're Greek
and
u assign whatever meaning u want
if u give me the meaning or context I could try
They're proportional variables, a logical conclusion
it contains a lot of claims, most of them false, some unknowns, there is very little exposition, minimal references, e.g knuths up arrow is arbitrarily defined for all positive real numbers but there's even no examples of computation and most of all - lots of wordsoup
you are not missing out on anything
Awesome
If you want a basic overview on what you need to know its the perspectives, calculus, differential equations, discrete maths, linear algebra, probability statistics, analysis, abstract algebra, differential equations, logic, topology and geometry to be decent
It's basically this but beginner friendly
Do this for 4 hours a week for 34 weeks or 9ish months (rounded up)
Then we can get into the normal stuff
Like topoly, euclidean planes etc its elementary stuff
I don't think first order predicate logic is what this man needs most at this point
its literally how u become a mathematician wydm
I think right now the focus should be on high school stuff, from what I read op needs to develop more mathematic rigor, and be more experienced in math, I get the feeling that they are rushing math and learning fancy words without knowing what they mean
You need to have a good foundation
Math is like a beautiful statue, it’s very pretty to look at, but without good fondation it will crumble sooner or later, so get good basics to not let it crumble and appreciate its beauty even more
No lmao
You don't learn first order predicate logic as intro to academic math
not the ins and outs of it, but it's on the menu for our first year students
Here logic as a course in the first year is a computer science course, very much optional for math students. Introductory math courses ofcourse explain universal and existential quantifier and basic logic operators like implies, and, or, xor, but that's like 30 minutes of lecture
Learning first order systems and godels incompleteness and such is a very different thing
I dipped out for a bit what did I miss
The kid's not even out of high school and his basics are like not even there
also why is this here in #1020426321261756536
it should be in #1015578016606343218
you can grind to university by grinding with the university courses
teach urself how to, independent learner 👍
well he'd at least need the basics of math before he can do anything
that is basic maths wydm
logic is the first thing i learned in elementary
yes
propositions and all
what kind of elementary school did you attend
I learned that 1+1=2 in elementary
the one that taught me mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
where do you live
country
japan
So in primary school, you learned and were able to prove this sequent in classical first order logic (cND_1) using Fitch style?
i did a lot and i don't remember any of it
aah you forgot
Classic
I'm sure the other kids in your elementary school will remember the classes fondly 🥰
This was the solution, maybe that helps you remember a bit, always good to refresh on old classes 😃
the fucked up part is they probably would know how to solve that in elementary
@timid flume It's been a couple days. How goes Lang's book?
pretty sure he died from unmotivation
Why do you think so ? They could be really motivated
Any lack of motivation is likely due to you being a dick. "Oh look at me, I know more than you, 13 year old who's trying to learn math! Look at how good I am at predicate logic!" is... not exactly an encouraging way to speak to someone.
just a guess
ok!
wasn't it already
dude talked about becoming a dictator pretty much a week ago
^
(not to mention the "research paper" which had pretty much the same pseudomath vibes as irrationality of pi)
@timid flume, last time I checked you were fine with all of the stuff in those books, do you need any help reviewing? I've been stuck on this one fucking topic that is wayy too many pages for one man to understand, so I'm willing to re-read and summarize anything to get out of this tbh.
usap did that?
Fr, 2431 messages
hi
no not really, I put it on a pause to get ready from may 1st
I listened to many rage getting and unjustice related documentaries and movies
so that I'm soo pumped up to focus for a whole month
yo
uh
I realized I wouldn't be able to read it all and understand it if I went on this pace with this mindset
i think you should focus on dedication instead of motivation just a consistent 1 - 2 hours a day is better then going all out for a month and getting burnt out
but I don't wanna go to school
Once school starts this is gonna be impossible
i dont see how that coralates with going to school
uh well there's 8 hours in school and some more in hope because of it
and then sleeping eating
that's it
ok perfect you have 6 free hours
life's not gonna give me another chance till a year
no
It's impossible for me to stay focused with all the other things
because I hate school and I get un motivated because of it
10 hours school 7 hours sleep 2 hours eating/ showering you have 5 free hours
but during those
like i said motivation doesnt matter dedication is better
it's gonna be hard keeping on work
Yeah, this is absolutely true.
get a schedule and stick to it atleast 45 mins a day you wont see progress as fast but your core foundations will be built on top of that and you'll see alot of success down the line if you pursue math
I'm preparing for staying motivated till a month and putting everything in, then taking 2-3 months of break and studying
here's the thing
if I do that
my holidays are wasted
I'll end up stuck in between
because the motivation won't be up for more than a month
if i take 45 dollars from you will you throw away the rest of your 2000 dollars ?
just beacuse you spend 45 mins of your day on something not as fun doesnt mean your whole day is wasted
no, but if I lose 45 dollars in gambling, I'd definitely bet a lot (I used to gamble a lot before in another game)
well its good that we werent talking about gambling but about studying
alright but
the syllabus is simply too much
I won't be able to do it for like 1-2 years
if I keep 45 minutes a day
(Accounting for some days breaking the streak)
I don't wanna go to school anymore that's why I'm pumping myself up with motivation for this whole month rn
nvm then you do you i was just giving my thoughts 
and that's why I don't check this chat, everytime I come here something dis motivates me
no worries
I just wanted to give y'all an update on why I'll be offline for the next month mostly.
oo what happened show me show me
as we've told you, that is not an option
the "not going to school" part
I'm gonna make it then, if it requires the world to be changed, so be it.
Congratulations @buoyant trail, you have been awarded the <@&1257594408103317575> for being the most active user today.
Even if you don’t like school, it is a necessity
I can try getting what it gives, myself
You can try, but don’t abandon school
You can do math and other subjects on the side imo but don’t abandon school
You have to search it up
In the discussion threats
Growing up is realising school is the best part of your life, and the importance of school. Appreciate it while you can
I think the issue here is that he's fundamentally trying to use learning math as an excuse to skip school
And not for the sake of learning math itself
bro how isn't usap banned he's clearly trolling
how so?
Oh I see, yeah that’s a problem Indeed
Im shocked for someone so young he is asking about this stuff
doesn’t seem like it imo
Ok i just saw this. Bruhhhhh.
Why do you think so ?

?!
I personally don’t think so, doing a whole ass research paper just for trolling on discord seems like too much dedication
And regardless it’s harmless it’s not against the server rules
It’s not disruptive
He is less obviously trolling than you are (e.g. #1364337781102612702 message), and you're still around.
That's not a troll tho
I think he's just delulu and not trolling
It's ok most 14 year olds are like that
There's literally a Japanese term to describe this

Yes, and a PhD in two weeks.
yyyyyea-
Holy fucking shit. That’s a lot of people.
right!!
hey kid, just in case
have you been watching andrew tate or something, cause you seem to be parroting a lot of the talking points those types of influencers like to make
don’t get me wrong, there are useful things you can pick up there, being more independent/motivated etc but you can’t just grind your way into anything
you need to set realistic goals so you don’t burn yourself out
you’re still just 14, you gotta enjoy being a kid while you still can, cause you’re not gonna be able to in the future
what is that
what things will kt change?
i really did not see him do that
other than maybe wanting to leave school and become a dictator
does that really count though?
no lmao
he was a trend about a year ago
this typa idea is completely (or mostly) on my own
they do things which are like " wHeRe ArE wE gonna use this in real life "
I wanna quit school but only if I'm worthy of it, aka if I know or study the things which will be taught there
finishing school (much like finishing university) is not just about knowing the stuff though.
because even if you know the stuff, without actual qualifications or something to back it up an employer for example might not believe you know the stuff
and would likely hire someone who had finished school or university instead
and its honestly really hard to get around that
well true true I can't think of skipping uni unless I'm a business startup
But what I can think of is skipping school to go to uni
uni is almost as boring as school btw
a lot of the time
you will have classes you dont like, unengaged lecturers who just read through slides etc.
ofc hopefully lots of classes you enjoy as well, but it will also be boring a lot of the time
hmm
apologies for butting in, i just want to see if i can help, but why do you want to leave school in the first place?
because
it seems
inefficient
and
like a mild eternal hell
8 hours a day at school and after u come home 2-3 for settling and others
as in you believe half the stuff you learn you can learn without school or will have no use for?
oh yeah i get that😭 i used to get home from school sleep til 8pm and feel like my entire day flew by
8 hours a day I do almost nothing

they do teach something which might be important
but they teach soo less
and languages and other things except English isn't really what I'm gonna do after 3 years anyways
for example social history
you do realize school teaches you a lot more than just studies?
where I live 2nd and 3rd languages are a thing along with history geography and civics
how to deal with people, how to make friends
uh yes
but I'm pretty sure
social skills are important in life no matter how you swing it
I'm at a psychological stage to understand things enough
I do know social and life skills are important
besides.. do you realize how hard it is to get a job these days?
learning broadly ultimately makes you more efficient at learning, skills are transferable as well (thinking differently about things, writing, etc.)
do you think telling people you dropped out at 14 will make it easier?
then why make it harder for your future self?
I'm going off of academics
it's more like
I'm going deeper into it
it would be hard but I definitely like it
you can't go deeper if you don't even do the basics first
you seem to be interested in maths, do you think a person who can't add numbers would be able to do well at calculus?
and where would they learn to add numbers? at school of course
in school atleast-
would it not be easier to have someone that teaches you everything?
you're making this harder than it needs to be for urself
self studying is important, but a personal teacher who can understand where you're weak and help you work on that? that's a lot more valuble
it's your choice and i'm sure you've thought about it but maybe try thinking a little bit more
it's your life man, live how you want but please do not ruin it for yourself
i dont think usap is actually going to leave school lol
😝
pretty sure he realises now theres not really other options
well u never know
he seems to be on the edge, if he jumps then the decision is already made
besides, if we're being realisitc
parents🙏
theyre not letting him drop oit
I dont believe he can understand now. He is too young
100%, he said he goes to some private school as well
no way they are letting him waste their money
something like that true, but if I have someone who could give me daily tasks on topics I need to learn. I could go all my way in learning those with the informations on the web, infact I've tried something similar and wasn't bored for many hours nonstop.
but
if I do go and actually complete maths till 12th/high school
I would get 2-3 or more months from my parents
and its a merrier road then
I could do physics and chem and some English
that's what teachers are for
they're supposed to do all that for u
my parents are very very uh societal and uh care what relatives or society cares. Even though my father pretends he's new and not like that, they're simply like that and care for school and marks
but
because of that I could mend them easy enough
when they saw the email MIT gave me
they were impressed
you got an email from MIT? what about?
so if I could agree a uni like MIT they're not gonna say no
how are you planning on getting accepted to mit before you finish school?
I told them the situation and they said I don't need a high school degree but I need to have learnt the concepts
because I only plan on getting after I finish school
but not like
actually finishing it on paper
whats this whole thread abt then
😭
no one knows at this point
do you believe yourself capable?
not to say you cant get into MIT but they dont really accept alot of international students
my heart believes but my brain strongly says it's improbable
we'll all naysayers atp shoot your shot kid
still worth trying your best and applying, you will gain some skills from that even if you get rejected tbf
if its meant to be it will be
with that said the international students that do apply are all very good students that have completed their highschools with straight A's and have alot of extra curriculars encompassing math
yeah you learn a lot from failure
I'm not really in a success at all, I'm already at failure, my marks are low, my parents don't think high of me as intellectually except they think of my brother who's going into a local uni.
what am I even gonna fail at
oh maybe you could look into maths competitions!!
no
that would help ur future application if u can perform well too
they're really so bad for me
i cant understand if you overestimate or underestimate yourself
I would fail miserably
I have a bit of a tendency for deep thinking in things I like
thats sweet
MIT loves students who participate in the IMO's so if you do want to go their you would need to start joining math competitions
well
believe in urself kid but also be prepared for ur plane to get shot down
i've seen people like you who want something so badly and when they fail to get it they lose their will to live
i always regret not joining maths competitions when i was younger and had the chance, it wouldve been fun
Same I regret not carrying about math when I was younger
competitions are fun haha but i always get mad when i lose
and i have a tendency to lose a lot so its not a good combo
honestly my life doesn't seem so colorful at all,
I'd just wanna try something on my own to make it a bit more fulfilled
are you still reading textbooks?
not that much
only books
but not textbooks
I don't like textbooks but I like learning on my own
and I can do a lot of something I like
which is why the individual topics idea
I Like doing math problems, but dislike competition, just doing math without worrying about rankings and such is good
Yes this. The satisfaction you get from it is amazing
similar but I'm not even good at doing math problems
I don't like math but the idea of going in depth
which is why I liked physics at start
ive been wondering for a bit now, what are you even on here for? at the start you seemed to have some questions have they been answered
but I learnt I need maths the hard way ( after buying a qm book)
i don’t care if I’m good or not I just enjoy it
uh yes but
It seems like you like the idea of being good at math but dont want to put in the work but maybe im wrong
the answers keep bringing me deeper into the rabbit hole
at the point I'm not doing anything except arguing with y'all for weeks
but
yeah then go and jump out your window kid don't worry abt what ppl have to say here
weeks!? 😭how long has this been going on?
2-3 weeks
jesus
I really wanna do something
then go out and do it
Why not do what pear told you to do
whatchu sitting here on the cord for
he even gave you links for the books to study
but I need help
yea he told me good
but
I won't be able to read books in the pace I'm thinking
are you looking for books on specific (interesting) areas of maths and physics?
2-3 weeks werent enough for u to get help? whats left now?
it feels too boring doing something that isn't under your control
no I'm not that advanced but yes
i'm not trying to be rude btw😭im just confused genuinely
It is though studying is completly under your control
what I'm really looking for right now
is
someone or people to give me set of concepts (from basics till advanced) daily
wait til u grow up nd then all of a sudden u dont wanna do life anymore cuz it feels so out of control
and I go indepth about those concepts and explain them etc... Answer the questions
that way
I can do things in my control
^
Alright
bye kid have a lovely time studying
so calculus was basically invented based on a Greek guy
called zeno
his idea was motion was impossible
because
i'll see if i can keep up with your development arc
u needed to do half of something
to do the full of something
And to that u need half of that.. That that that
and like that motion cannot be reached
but
motion should be reached
right?

Calculus 1 Lecture 0.1: Lines, Angle of Inclination, and the Distance Formula
logically u could put an infinite number of
do that
lines
which are widthless
in a triangle
so that's gonna be the same as other triangles too
but
stop yammering and go learn!!!
here's where the limit part comes
uhhh
i didnt mean explain what a limit is
learn from this kitty she's learning so much so quick
i meant like epsilon > 0 etc....
what a smart kitty
its on this page somewhere
what do u want exactly
my cat isnt educated she likes to attack me whenever i want to study
if u dont want the definition or why is a limit
try to understand the formal definition of a LIMIT OF A sequence
be a responsible parent buy her a book abt calculus
Your cat is warning you
alright
Very intelligent indeed
ohhh alright
No she actively attacks my monitor when i do math 😦
so
a sequence
is when u need something
to go on repeatedly
limit in easy words is basically how many times u wanna repeat that
but to explain further
I would like to quote an example
every function starts with something right?
so
take that as n0
and u put in your mathematical function
but to actually move on to the next one
you need to define how the next will be different
for example u can put n0+1
as n1
to move on to n2
you do n1+1
but
if u notice
this forms a pattern
don't u see?
nx+1 = nx+1
where this seems same but what you're tryna say is
to move on to next number in terms of n(x)
you add 1
so
the limits come here
how many times do u wanna repeat this process?
you say 10 times
then it's limit is gonna be 10
so there's a special spirally f symbol here
where the bottom of it is 0 or the starting point of your sequence
and the top of it is how many times u wanna repeat that secuence
for example
the set of natural numbers is 0 to infinity
1,2,3,4...n+1 = (n) +1
so for example
you wanna calculate the area of a scooby dooby in a graph
it's hard for u to calculate because it's sooo uneven and distorted
but what u can do
is put in even undistorted objects which u already know to fill that
for example
u put in 5 rectangles
but u can't fit the 6th one
now what u know is that the limit is before the 6th rectangle because there can't be 6
ive got completely no idea what ur talking about here im ngl
this is the concept i was talking about
it might be unfamiliar or maybe too advanced for you though i now realise lol
tbh it might take you a while if you want to really understand it, but as long as you know what a sequence is and whatever it should at least be possible
cuteeeee
not sure about smarter but she is a little evil
I said almost the same thing
but in simpler words with examples
ur telling me she's evil even tho she looks so cute
i dont buy it
but
I understand that I'm very incapable in explaining it further
so
you'll have your detailed answer soon after I sleep and research on it
thank you:)
good night
whats the time for u
Would a non evil cat activily attack me while i sleep
you should learn it to the point where you can use it to prove a given sequence converges
i think not
i would die for her
maybe watch some youtube videos
therefore she is banished to the realm of calculus
maybe ur the evil one and she's the one trying to stop you
💔💔💔💔
cats sometimes worry you are dead when you sleep for too long
you might be onto something but id reather pin the blame on her
i sometimes worry mine's dead too coz shes sleeping all the time
oh my god speaking of sleeping😭every night i tell myself im gonna sleep early then boom it's 4am and i need a cigarette
she sleeps on top of my head when im sleeping i think shes just trying to take me out
advanced warfare
she sounds like 50 million bullets. Its like she have a V8 engine inside of her
cutee
thats what she does. She threw my cup of water on the floor but i cant do anything she looks innocent
.
We need Mass ping when
GUYS
I THINK I'M ONTO SOMETHING
I think I can calculate the amount of happiness in the world
ur on something
so
here's the equation
what it really means is
first - it's fancy
next so
you see the LHS of the first equation
there's a bunch of this '>'
and in there
H reads happiness
and the Y reads your
your happiness!
I'll tell u about the crossed triangle later
First let's talk about the modified summation symbol
below that symbol, u see a Greek alphabet + pi right?
what the first Greek alphabet in that (aka the crossed out 'ø') means is
The happy thoughts we have
for example,
you go to a mall
your father says he will buy you anything you want
so you think
" Oh my father loves me yay "
that's what I consider a happy thought
now, that's the first Greek symbol below the modified summation symbol.
but why did I say "+ pi "?
so what pi really means
is the happy events
for example, in this when you get a toy and your father pays for it in the counter and you get a toy or a food and you enjoy it there
that's what I consider a happy event
so the down part of the summation symbol
is happy thoughts + happy events
but where do you concour these things?
that's where the modified summation comes
what it means that " All the down parts OF the up part are added "
now that u know what that means
you see a fork symbol up that right?
what it refers to is the events that happened around throughout your life
that is from the birth to your current present
all the events including thoughts*
so
now that u understand the down part and the up part and the modified summation symbol
let me tell another part
so naturally this should be the total happiness right?
but no, why?
because when you're born the first few years aren't really something you can " Feel "
so happiness even though exists, doesn't matter there or isn't conscious
so
for that
I invent a new symbol called lambda
what lambda means is " An age where you are mentally mature enough to realize happiness "
it's not something like when you're 60 u understand the true meaning of life
it's more like, when you're 5 you ask for ice cream and lick it while eating it. i.e you actually understand you want something and that makes u feel nice
so
now u understand lambda
but why did it come here?
because
for u to experience a happy event
🙂
you need to know it is happy for you, or u need to know it is happy for you after it happens
so that's why
pi starts at lambda
that's what the up '>' symbol means
That happy events form when you are matured enough to realize that, when that happens or is about to happen
but
why is the other Greek symbol ø not that?
because
thoughts u can think anytime
you might remember something when you were very small
but u might not actually realize that event when u WERE small
so that is why
I wrote ø starts at forky-greek symbol >
the forky Greek symbol means the events and thoughts in your lifetime
so it really starts when you come into this world
but it's not necessarily everything, more like everything u can think and remember of
so, we can say actually event expiriencing happiness starts at a concrete level
but the thinking and memory of those can be at a more abstract level i.e when you're smaller than the concrete level matureness begining
that's what that means
so now u know the first equation
you can know the second one
but Before I explain u what it is
Let me tell you why it is
so the thin line difference arises over here
you have happy thoughts
okay
but
are they the same
as what u consider happy after an event?
let me tell it more clearly
you can sure think of " Oh my father loves me " And feel happy
but is it the same as " my school days were so memorable and happy even though I faced a lot of suffering "
now
we enter a thin line difference
that does count as thoughts of a happiness if u feel happy after having that thought.
but
what I'm trying to say is what you consider happy at end
you may consider sad things sometimes happy too, with something called nostalgia
