YOU'RE BACK

#

YOU'RE BACK

drifting wasp
#

Usap really needs help

sweet smelt
#

Probably saw i and thought "ooo cool what if we made this for positive real numbers"

timid flume
#

OMG YORE BACK

drifting wasp
sweet smelt
#

Yea no way

tame lynx
#

he's 14, maybe 15 now

visual edge
#

I would never bully people

timid flume
#

no WAY

#

?!!?!?

#

lemme tell u

#

so

#

you take 2 points right

sweet smelt
#

No shot you learn all that in 1 day

timid flume
#

AHA I PROVE U WRONG THEN

#

alr anyways

#

you take 2 points

#

measure the x, y

#

for say, the first has 2,1

tame lynx
#

measure the what?

timid flume
#

the second has 4,2

sweet smelt
timid flume
#

measure the x and y axis

tame lynx
#

ok, coordinates

timid flume
#

no you have to know that I know what that means

sweet smelt
timid flume
#

so I'm taking you since the basics

drifting wasp
#

Or the abscissa and ordinates

timid flume
#

alr see

tame lynx
#

sigh... what is the claim?

timid flume
#

whatever whatever

#

so

sweet smelt
#

Kid just go enjoy your holiday

timid flume
#

after u take that

drifting wasp
#

You learn the names in 8th grade btw.

timid flume
#

you

#

can

drifting wasp
timid flume
#

subtracy and divide

#

y2-y1/x2-x1

#

but u can go do it in another fancy way

#

f(b) -f(a)
b-a

sweet smelt
timid flume
#

lemme explain u why it works

#

because

tame lynx
#

why what works?

timid flume
#

the f(b) and f(a)
b-a

#

why they're same to y2-y1
X2-x1

#

it's a pretty cool thing

sweet smelt
timid flume
#

I was confused at first

#

but then

drifting wasp
#

That's just the definition but alr

tame lynx
#

is he getting to mean value theorem?

timid flume
#

I thought of it

#

that

sweet smelt
timid flume
#

f of a can mean y!

drifting wasp
#

Yeah

timid flume
#

so

sweet smelt
#

Unless mean value theorem = gradient

timid flume
#

f of b can be y2!

#

which is why

sweet smelt
#

I've only heard of the name of the theorem, no clue what it actually is

timid flume
#

b and a can be x1 and x2

#

that's why you still get the slope

#

now we go deeper into derivatives

sweet smelt
#

And how does this prove you understand anything

#

Wait wait wait

timid flume
#

there's a cool apostroohe sign

sweet smelt
#

Before we do that

#

What is slope

timid flume
#

you can put to symbolize

timid flume
sweet smelt
#

What is gradient?

timid flume
#

is the

#

uh

#

kinda curve or

#

discharge

#

or

#

it moves

#

precisely

sweet smelt
#

You clearly have no idea what you are saying

tame lynx
#

math crackpots come up with all sorts of wild explanations, anything to avoid having to actually put in the hours and learn the concepts and techniques,

please don't be a crackpot, don't use arbitrary fancy words you don't know meaning of monkaS

timid flume
#

not a curve but

#

like

sweet smelt
#

You are merely spouting random words which sound cool

sweet smelt
#

Nothing you say has any coherent meaning at all

timid flume
#

I've learned this from 3 am to 7:30 am yesterday

#

no it does

#

I think I know what slope means

#

slope is like the

drifting wasp
tame lynx
#

ok dude, I get that you're just a high school student but you have to stop arguing your point to people who know relevant theory

#

you're wasting time

timid flume
#

it moves away from a straight line somewhere

dark grail
#

Get off discord and get on khan academy

drifting wasp
#

Real

timid flume
#

and what if I have mistakes

sweet smelt
#

I can also say that Fermat's last theorem was proven by firstly converting the problem statement into an elliptic curve, then showing that this subset of elliptic curves are not modular, and then by the Taniyama-Shimura-Weil conjecture a^n+b^n=c^n has no integer solutions

dark grail
sweet smelt
#

So either get back to studying or go enjoy your holidays

tame lynx
#

you don't have the tools to explain, you don't even have a grasp of elementary logic, please just start from the basics

drifting wasp
#

You can't really explain what a slope is because you're not saying what is supposed to be said man

sweet smelt
#

Even if they know how to find the gradient

drifting wasp
sweet smelt
#

4 hours is not nearly enough time

timid flume
#

the person who told me this, told that the actual rigorous definition comes above calculus 2

drifting wasp
dark grail
#

Get on khan academy

sweet smelt
#

Just because I can find the gradient doesn't mean I can define it

dark grail
#

Solve some problems

#

You’re wasting time

sweet smelt
tame lynx
#

if you're interested in geometry specifically, there's "Introduction to Geometry" by the Art of Problem Solving

sweet smelt
#

Is it actually defined as rise/run

tame lynx
#

a good place to start

sweet smelt
#

No way right

dark grail
#

No

sweet smelt
#

Yea that's what I was thinking

dark grail
#

Study your textbook and khan academy

timid flume
#

what is the definition of slope

sweet smelt
timid flume
#

I just realized straight lines have slopes

dark grail
#

Khan academy would tell you

drifting wasp
timid flume
#

no

timid flume
#

someone told me all this

sweet smelt
#

I wouldn't call that a definition

drifting wasp
#

On my level, the derivative of the function

tame lynx
sweet smelt
dark grail
#

.

sweet smelt
#

But then again, I don't know the definition

#

Usap go play Minecraft or something

#

You are clearly not cut out for math

tame lynx
#

slope of a line y = ax+b is the real number a

dark grail
#

I wouldn’t say that

sweet smelt
dark grail
#

You just need to stop wasting time here and actually go learn something

sweet smelt
#

No way right

timid flume
#

yea that's what the person who taught me told me

dark grail
#

Khan academy

tame lynx
#

it's equivalent to any definition of a slope of a line

timid flume
#

y = mx+b

#

where m is the derivative

#

also

sweet smelt
#

I'd have thought that a rigorous definition would go along the lines of: "the rate of change of y with respect to x"

timid flume
#

oh yea

dark grail
timid flume
#

I learnt a bit of that too

tame lynx
#

also correct

drifting wasp
timid flume
#

so

#

when you

dark grail
timid flume
#

take a point a

sweet smelt
timid flume
#

closer to a point a+m

dark grail
#

look

timid flume
#

you can get the rate of change

tame lynx
#

there's no need to mention derivative in this context if all you're dealing with are straight lines

timid flume
#

constantaneous rate of change pretty sure

dark grail
#

you only seem to have a vague concept of what you're talking about

timid flume
#

no I'm not dealing with straight lines here

tame lynx
#

constante whatnow?

dark grail
#

you haven't solved any problems

#

you don't understand the topic

sweet smelt
dark grail
#

you won't pass an exam on calculus

tame lynx
dark grail
#

start here

timid flume
sweet smelt
tame lynx
#

@timid flume you are not learning anything like this

#

please stop wasting your time

dark grail

ehh he just needs to stop wasting time trying to tackle topics he doesn't have the foundations for

I learnt this a bit too

#

slope of sacant lines

dark grail
sweet smelt
timid flume
#

when u move a point a closer to a+m

dark grail
#

learn this first

drifting wasp
sweet smelt
#

How does that prove you understand anything

timid flume
#

and he explained it clearly to me

#

but he said it's too complicatef

tame lynx
#

you weren't taught anything

visual edge
#

He has the spirit to learn it's just misdirected

drifting wasp
sweet smelt
drifting wasp
#

That you understand

timid flume
#

I can calculate it

sweet smelt
#

If he had the spirit to learn he'd have learned something by now

drifting wasp
#

You need to do problems, to understand maths

tame lynx
#

you really don't have to explain elementary geometry to me

timid flume
#

I did

timid flume
sweet smelt
#

Btw are any of you in the main discord

#

Literally the first animation that half the people make are about slope and gradient

#

Because of the moving points

#

Very good animation material

if the answer is no, you haven't learnt anything

#

Stupid autocorrect

sweet smelt
dark grail
#

for highschool stuff yes

tame lynx
#

for basic concepts and worked examples, yes

sweet smelt
#

Ahhh fair enough

#

Ngl I don't get why kids complain high school math is hard lol

tame lynx
#

I can say from experience that beginner students benefit more from working through examples

sweet smelt
tame lynx
#

so they see the techniques

sweet smelt
#

Ofc ofc

#

I agree

dark grail
sweet smelt
#

How so

timid flume
#

see I'm not complaining that high school math is hard

dark grail
#

people say math is hard, so they go into it thinking math is hard, so when there is inevitably something they don't understand its a lot easier to give up

timid flume
#

I'm complaining that it's not hard enough for 8 hours a day

sweet smelt
#

Ahhhh

tame lynx
#

we're trying to bring proofs back in high school math

dark grail
#

can you solve any of those problems

tame lynx
#

cuz right now high school math is a joke

sweet smelt
tame lynx
#

and has no connection to what math is about

timid flume
sweet smelt
#

And kids are still complaining smh

dark grail
dark grail
sweet smelt
#

Thoughts on homeschooling

#

If I ever have kids I don't want them to learn high school math

dark grail
#

some basic proofs by contradiction/induction etc

sweet smelt
#

That stuff sucks

#

I wanna teach them math myself lol

dark grail
#

but realistically high school maths doesn't need to be that advanced since the majority of people will never use anything beyond 8th grade anyways

drifting wasp
sweet smelt
tame lynx
sweet smelt
#

Literally any STEM field requires math

dark grail
#

yes but many don't go into stem

sweet smelt
#

I remember seeing a toilet example for contrapositive

#

That was really funny

sweet smelt
#

I'd have thought 40-60% end up in STEM

dark grail
#

no point trying to force an aspiring graphic designer or something to learn advanced transforms or something

sweet smelt
#

Half in STEM half in SHAPE

tame lynx
#

for example yes, to learn to negate statements

sweet smelt
#

Also trig and angles and stuff are all important in drawing

tame lynx
#

maybe even introduce quantified statements to high schoolers

dark grail
#

well only what

#

35% of UK students go to uni i think?

sweet smelt
#

Fr?

dark grail
#

so if 50% of them are in stem then what

#

17% would need higher mathematics in what they study/do

sweet smelt
#

Yk that would explain the gap between population and uni space

dark grail
#

which is an entirely inefficient use of school time

#

like don't get me wrong

timid flume
#

hey

dark grail
#

i'm doing my masters in engineering so i've done plenty of maths

timid flume
#

I don't think I got to that part of d/dx

sweet smelt
#

I thought 90% of the workforce has a degree

inner pulsar
#

Huh?

timid flume
#

only know to calculate basic slope formula guess

tame lynx
#

they don't have to proceed to a stem field, a grasp on basic logic and reasoning is beneficial to anyone

sweet smelt
dark grail
dark grail
#

i.e need to go into work/apprenticeships to make a living

sweet smelt
dark grail
#

not really

#

a lot of families need their kids to start working immediately

sweet smelt
#

How can 90% of the workforce have degrees, while only 40% of the population goes into uni

#

With the remaining 60% working without degrees

dark grail
#

like going to uni and making little to no income while having to pay off a degree, living fees etc is just not financially possible for many

tame lynx
sweet smelt
#

Yes ofc ofc but how can 60% of the population work without a degree, but 90% of the population have a degree

dark grail
sweet smelt
#

Oh what the heck-

#

Dang what's happening in the UK

dark grail
#

i think the stat you're thinking of

#

is

tame lynx
#

emigration?

dark grail
#

90% of people who graduate with first class degrees get employed

sweet smelt
#

Hmmmmm

dark grail
#

but the economy is tough nowadays

tame lynx
#

well once you have your degree why would you want to live in the uk, it's wet there even when it's dry

sweet smelt
#

Idk... Do you know the famous Dartmouth graduation speech

tame lynx
#

get your degree = freedom

sweet smelt
#

Was it Dart or Dartmouth

dark grail
#

my girlfriend had to work part time through highschool to save money to pay for her uni accom

sweet smelt
#

The guy said "Congratulations on your degree, you are now better than 8% of the population"

dark grail
#

💀

tame lynx
#

this shit is ridiculous 😂

dark grail
#

maybe lol

#

i also think it's a bit of a dick thing to say icl

sweet smelt

oh brother..

timid flume
#

tell me

#

any f(x)

tame lynx

about what

timid flume

f(x) =

give me a thing to put there

#

I'll find u my derivative

tame lynx

#

9x

timid flume
#

okay 9x

#

No log

#

9x seems good enough for now

sweet smelt
timid flume
#

Alright

#

so

#

how we calculate is

sweet smelt
#

Ok so that makes like a lot more sense

timid flume
#

first we get the formula here

#

f'(x) =

#

lim as h approaches 0

#

f(x+h) - f(x)
by h

tame lynx
#

$$\frac{d}{dx}\mathrm{your_mom}(x) = \lim _{\mathrm{booze}\to 0} \frac{\mathrm{your_mom}(x+\mathrm{booze} - \mathrm{your_mom}(x))}{|\mathrm{booze}|}$$

timid flume
#

alright we got the formula

visual edge
#

For the love of God 1 msg

timid flume
#

right

#

now

#

how do we

#

Go ahead and proceed

timid flume
#

what really does that formula do

sweet smelt
#

Das funi

dark grail
#

well

inner pulsar

What’s the derivative of 9x?

it would be a lot easier to explain

okay so

we must understand

inner pulsar
#

Do it in one message

timid flume
#

f (x+h) what that really means

#

for 9x

timid flume
tame lynx
#

if f(x) = 9x, then f(x+h) = 9(x+h), that's all

inner pulsar

f(x+h) - f(x)
by h
in this case is gonna be 9(x+h) - 9x
or we can do, 9x + 9h -9x / h
cancel out, you get 9h/h or 9

inner pulsar

I’ll be damned

timid flume

the f'(x) for f(x) = 9x is equal to 9

you need to remember that 9(h/h) is 9 in the limit of h -> 0 but not 0

f'(x) = lim h approaches 0, 1( -x² +h) - -x² / h
So x² +h + x²/ h
it's just 2 x² which I don't feel is logical

dark grail

it isn't

tame lynx

i didn't ask for derivative

inner pulsar

Huh?

tame lynx

just the limit

visual edge
#

No

dark grail
#

even if you were calculating the derivative

inner pulsar
#

Yeah, still wrong

dark grail
#

you made so many mistakes on so many layers

tame lynx

there's no reason to calculate derivative, because neither function is even defined at 0, let alone continuous

you don't understand the binomial theorem to know how it generalises to negative numbers

ah I see

you don't know combinatorics so you can't understand the binomial theorem

timid flume

so no negative numbers for me

not really combinatorics

I can try but I'd rather the poster does it themselves

inner pulsar
#

Ah

timid flume
#

alr is there a way I can keep this thread open

naive narwhal
#

No

#

You can revisit it if you have a link, even after it is closed

#

But it would be best to close it regardless

timid flume
#

now now what if I edit the titles and tags each time I learn something and have questions

naive narwhal
#

Still, no

timid flume
#

why not

#

it's basically the same

naive narwhal
#

Use the help threads the way they are intended to be used

Please just do a specific topic

naive narwhal

No, dude just respect other people trying to help you

timid flume

naive narwhal
#

The more targeted questions are, the more likely you are to receive targeted help

visual edge
#

No what ifs

tame lynx
#

inner pulsar
naive narwhal
#

If you don't wanna, then no one will actually want to help you

timid flume
#

okay but what if I require help of understanding calculus derivatives formulas?

#

that's specific enough

naive narwhal
#

Then you make a post about it

visual edge
#

Please create a thread about it

timid flume
#

this is the poste of it

naive narwhal
#

You point out the formula and your questions about it

inner pulsar
#

No it isn’t

timid flume
#

naive narwhal
#

Just stop it

timid flume
#

inner pulsar
#

Do you have emotional attachment to this thread?

visual edge
#
