Usap really needs help
Probably saw i and thought "ooo cool what if we made this for positive real numbers"
OMG YORE BACK
I recommend therapy
he's 14, maybe 15 now
I would never bully people
huh
no WAY
?!!?!?
lemme tell u
so
you take 2 points right
No shot you learn all that in 1 day
AHA I PROVE U WRONG THEN
alr anyways
you take 2 points
measure the x, y
for say, the first has 2,1
measure the what?
the second has 4,2
Did you mean to say ∆x and ∆y
measure the x and y axis
ok, coordinates
no you have to know that I know what that means
Ok yea you've immediately proven me right
so I'm taking you since the basics
Or the abscissa and ordinates
alr see
sigh... what is the claim?
Kid just go enjoy your holiday
after u take that
You learn the names in 8th grade btw.
Real
subtracy and divide
y2-y1/x2-x1
but u can go do it in another fancy way
f(b) -f(a)
b-a
I'm 90% sure he's just spouting what he read from like 3 messages yesterday talking about derivatives
why what works?
Hes actually onto something rn lmaooo. Give him a moment
That's just the definition but alr
is he getting to mean value theorem?
He's trying to explain gradient
f of a can mean y!
Yeah
so
Unless mean value theorem = gradient
I've only heard of the name of the theorem, no clue what it actually is
b and a can be x1 and x2
that's why you still get the slope
now we go deeper into derivatives
there's a cool apostroohe sign
you can put to symbolize
Slope
What is gradient?
You clearly have no idea what you are saying
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 
You are merely spouting random words which sound cool
no
Nothing you say has any coherent meaning at all
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
Define it
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
it moves away from a straight line somewhere
Get off discord and get on khan academy
Real
no but only if I can explain it, I can truly understand it
and what if I have mistakes
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
No, you only truly understand it once you solve your first problem set involving it
And you clearly cannot
So either get back to studying or go enjoy your holidays
you don't have the tools to explain, you don't even have a grasp of elementary logic, please just start from the basics
You can't really explain what a slope is because you're not saying what is supposed to be said man
Ngl I highly doubt any 14 year old can explain what a slope is
Even if they know how to find the gradient
If said he spent 4 hours learning this he should be able to
Nah nah nah
4 hours is not nearly enough time
the person who told me this, told that the actual rigorous definition comes above calculus 2
For the definition of the slope???
Get on khan academy
Just because I can find the gradient doesn't mean I can define it
How would you define it
if you're interested in geometry specifically, there's "Introduction to Geometry" by the Art of Problem Solving
Is it actually defined as rise/run
a good place to start
No way right
No
Yea that's what I was thinking
Study your textbook and khan academy
what is the definition of slope
Go study
I just realized straight lines have slopes
Khan academy would tell you
On his level, The Tan∅ where ∅ is the angle between the line and the x axis
no
...??? Uhhh
someone told me all this
I wouldn't call that a definition
On my level, the derivative of the function

I also wouldn't call that a definition
.
But then again, I don't know the definition
Usap go play Minecraft or something
You are clearly not cut out for math
slope of a line y = ax+b is the real number a
I wouldn’t say that
That's the definition???
You just need to stop wasting time here and actually go learn something
No way right
yea that's what the person who taught me told me
Khan academy
it's equivalent to any definition of a slope of a line
I'd have thought that a rigorous definition would go along the lines of: "the rate of change of y with respect to x"
oh yea
With a lot more jargon
I learnt a bit of that too
also correct
That's, just the derivative.
do this
take a point a
Errr yea
closer to a point a+m
look
you can get the rate of change
there's no need to mention derivative in this context if all you're dealing with are straight lines
constantaneous rate of change pretty sure
you only seem to have a vague concept of what you're talking about
no I'm not dealing with straight lines here
constante whatnow?
Yk what in that sense rise/run might just define slope lmaoooo
you won't pass an exam on calculus
John Constantine?
no I mean
Idk why you even bother lol he's clearly not gonna touch it
ehh he just needs to stop wasting time trying to tackle topics he doesn't have the foundations for
Teach usap geometry speedrun
Yeah but he doesn't listen
We have been dumping 4000 messages of information and resources on this guy
Difficulty: impossible
by now it should be clear, it's better to move on
Talking to a brick wall is easier lmaooo
This is just a picture you found off Google
when u move a point a closer to a+m
learn this first
Why is it so dark
How does that prove you understand anything
no the person who taught me wrote this or sent this
and he explained it clearly to me
but he said it's too complicatef
you weren't taught anything
He has the spirit to learn it's just misdirected
That doesn't mean
I disagree with the first half
That you understand
no let me explain u what those definitions are
I can calculate it
If he had the spirit to learn he'd have learned something by now
You need to do problems, to understand maths
you really don't have to explain elementary geometry to me
I did
this,
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
Main discord?
can you solve any of these problems https://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/problems/calci/DiffFormulas.aspx
Here is a set of practice problems to accompany the Differentiation Formulas section of the Derivatives chapter of the notes for Paul Dawkins Calculus I course at Lamar University.
discord .gg/ math
Manim*
lemme go check
Stupid autocorrect
Is khan academy actually good for learning
for highschool stuff yes
for basic concepts and worked examples, yes
I can say from experience that beginner students benefit more from working through examples
Is that a me thing
so they see the techniques
i think its a self-reinforcing belief
How so
see I'm not complaining that high school math is hard
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
I'm complaining that it's not hard enough for 8 hours a day
Ahhhh
we're trying to bring proofs back in high school math
Fr?
can you solve any of those problems
cuz right now high school math is a joke
Yes that's what I thought!
and has no connection to what math is about
I am pretty sure I can try
And kids are still complaining smh
there is a bit, inductive reasoning
try
Thoughts on homeschooling
If I ever have kids I don't want them to learn high school math
some basic proofs by contradiction/induction etc
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
Self fulfilling prophecy (>"I can't do it I can't do it I can't do it" >Proceeds to not be able to do it) and bad teachers
Or maybe I'll send them to school, but I teach them math at home
Whattt nah dude
some basics of propositional calculus so people would understand what an "implication" is
this sh. is notoriously difficult to grasp even for uni students
Literally any STEM field requires math
The contrapositive thing?
yes but many don't go into stem
Fr?
I'd have thought 40-60% end up in STEM
no point trying to force an aspiring graphic designer or something to learn advanced transforms or something
Half in STEM half in SHAPE
for example yes, to learn to negate statements
I'd argue that knowing how to do a matrix transformation is useful for graphics designing
Also trig and angles and stuff are all important in drawing
maybe even introduce quantified statements to high schoolers
Fr?
so if 50% of them are in stem then what
17% would need higher mathematics in what they study/do
Yk that would explain the gap between population and uni space
hey
i'm doing my masters in engineering so i've done plenty of maths
I don't think I got to that part of d/dx
But only 35%?
I thought 90% of the workforce has a degree
Huh?
only know to calculate basic slope formula guess
they don't have to proceed to a stem field, a grasp on basic logic and reasoning is beneficial to anyone
What happens to the other 65%
haha i'd say a solid 40% of the population can't even afford to go to uni
Yes I agree
i.e need to go into work/apprenticeships to make a living
These are contradictory statements ngl
How can 90% of the workforce have degrees, while only 40% of the population goes into uni
With the remaining 60% working without degrees
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
see, basic reasoning already at play 😄
Yes ofc ofc but how can 60% of the population work without a degree, but 90% of the population have a degree
emigration?
90% of people who graduate with first class degrees get employed
Hmmmmm
but the economy is tough nowadays
well once you have your degree why would you want to live in the uk, it's wet there even when it's dry
Idk... Do you know the famous Dartmouth graduation speech
get your degree = freedom
Was it Dart or Dartmouth
my girlfriend had to work part time through highschool to save money to pay for her uni accom
The guy said "Congratulations on your degree, you are now better than 8% of the population"
💀
Did I hear it wrong lol
this shit is ridiculous 😂
Ok not "better"
Just you wait until I get the best art program, mspaint
hahaha nah it's just a quip
I'm paraphrasing
yeah yeah i get you
we don't really talk about class here, but maybe it's a thing in the uk
What if you get rejected from art school
ehh maybe he was talking out his ass idk
Refer to Germany Weimar
Usap just talks a lot but it can be watered down to idk
Aha I found it
yapper of the day incoming, stand by
Look up Conan O'Brien Dartmouth 2011
"Today you have achieved something special. Something only 92% of Americans your age will ever know"
Ohhhh college diploma
Not degree
Whoopsies
What's the difference
Diplomas are easier to get
Did I say something wrong lol
guys
oh brother..
about what
your mom
9x
Yea
Ok so that makes like a lot more sense
$$\frac{d}{dx}\mathrm{your_mom}(x) = \lim _{\mathrm{booze}\to 0} \frac{\mathrm{your_mom}(x+\mathrm{booze} - \mathrm{your_mom}(x))}{|\mathrm{booze}|}$$
alright we got the formula
For the love of God 1 msg
LMAOOOOO AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
what really does that formula do
Das funi
well
What’s the derivative of 9x?
it would be a lot easier to explain
@timid flume
we must understand
I'm cal ulating that
Yapper
if you had any knowledge of functions, graphs etc first
okay so
Use mspaint
we must understand
Do it in one message
okay fine
if f(x) = 9x, then f(x+h) = 9(x+h), that's all
Don’t tell him
I have neurology classes soon
sigh..
Like 13 minutes
I come here cuz it's funny lol
Same
4374 messages, holy fuck
look, you want to get through highscool fast?
click on this link and go through the topics
easiest way
6k messages by tomorrow
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
I’ll be damned
the f'(x) for f(x) = 9x is equal to 9
unless we get lucky and a mod force closes this topic, the information density here is flat zero
this is correct, but there are some technicalities
I see
Limit
you need to remember that 9(h/h) is 9 in the limit of h -> 0 but not 0
yea my bad
here are a couple of fun ones
$$\lim _{x\to 0} \frac{1}{x^3}\qquad \lim _{x\to 0}\frac{1}{x^2}$$
aL
$f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}$
We need a thread on not making questions overly difficult that it encompasses all of maths
Ag3nt
@timid flume
okay let me try to
thanks
They both don’t exist
thats pretty cool tbh lol
Stop leaking answers
Mb, I won’t do it again
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
it isn't
i didn't ask for derivative
Huh?
just the limit
No
even if you were calculating the derivative
Yeah, still wrong
you made so many mistakes on so many layers
there's no reason to calculate derivative, because neither function is even defined at 0, let alone continuous
Do you know about algebraic identities?
you didn't understand indices, so $1/x \neq -x$
@timid flume
┬┴┬┴┤(・_├┬┴┬┴
yes
you don't understand the binomial theorem, since $(x+h)^2 \neq (x^2+h)$
┬┴┬┴┤(・_├┬┴┬┴
binomial theorem
even if you got the indices part right
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
you don't understand factorials so you can't understand combinatorics
Combinatorics in class 9?
it's too much to type out, you have to start from the basics, at best right now you know how to do some basic arithmetic
Also, @timid flume, do you know algebraic identities?
what is a^3 - b^3 ?
Lmao
(a+b)^2?
oh how fun, geometric progressions
that is correct
He can factorise
I learn trigonometry and geormetrics and algebra for 9th and 10th
All of it?
all of ut
did you win?
You would know a^3 - b^3 if u did
somewhere there's gonna be 12 hours videos on it right
if I learn that
then I'd know that
how about not worrying about the videos
read a textbook and try to solve the problems given there
but by humans
khan academy has videos
and solve them on your own
Huge
it's the best way for you to learn
We shill books
cause you're just wasting everyone's time here
if everyone's time is wasting, then no one's time is wasting
No
💀
Not how that works
Close this thread and do it on a specific topic bc we have no idea how to help you
Class in 1m
you clearly don't consider a time waste for yourself
no this thread needs to be becuz by may 31st I am gonna learn guaranteed all the way 11th, 10th and 9th grade
AND I'LL PROVE ALL OF YOU WEONG
No ur not bottom omega
i'll ask this topic to be closed, there's no progress here
okay but what if do
U won't
<@&1283689826742440016> senseless time waste, no mathematical discussion, ill-use of help channel <@&954706832537034772>
Teacher late lol
Yeah, but that’s just one concept
A fairly basic one too
if I learn one I learn many
Go for it I guess
you're only talking about the things you're gonna do
in actuality you achieve nothing
less talking, more action
let's see
@timid flume I get that you're ambitious but as aL said, the help channels are not really meant for extensive discussions
I also request you to close this chat
If you want to discuss, check out #1018223258228760617
alr if I don't prove I'm progressive worthy and help worthy by today, I'll close this by the end of today
you need years, not days or months
That has little to do with my point
Check out other threads, everyone asks targeted questions on specific problems
yeah
This chat has been ongoing for too long
it's not a weekend vacation, it's a state of mind that you have goals and you want to achieve them
I ask on my way on
Don't, make 1 post per problem you need help with

Can’t u close it?
If you are stuck on a geometry exercise, you make a post detailing what you are stuck on and what you have done
Miguel
Idk if I can anymore
Anymore?
I can try but I'd rather the poster does it themselves
Ah
alr is there a way I can keep this thread open
No
You can revisit it if you have a link, even after it is closed
But it would be best to close it regardless
now now what if I edit the titles and tags each time I learn something and have questions
Still, no
Use the help threads the way they are intended to be used
And I was sent to the library
one problem, one topic, close topic, open next, wash rinse repeat
^
what if
what if you read the rules?
Please just do a specific topic
No, dude just respect other people trying to help you
The more targeted questions are, the more likely you are to receive targeted help
No what ifs
you're not special, fall in line and follow the rules like everyone else
💀
If you don't wanna, then no one will actually want to help you
okay but what if I require help of understanding calculus derivatives formulas?
that's specific enough
Then you make a post about it
Please create a thread about it
this is the poste of it
You point out the formula and your questions about it
No it isn’t
what if I edit it
Just stop it
Do you have emotional attachment to this thread?
No more pls
nothing will change
Thank you Miguel
alr just one sec
you will earn a lot of blocks, just a heads up @timid flume
Or you can be respectful to your potential future helpers and do as they say
Did you block usap?
starting with mine
@timid flume rat the problem with this thread was it was too much
it's been like 5k messages and there's virtually no progress in math comprehension
