Because first you must learn the derivative of x in x
And then memorize the rest of the tables.
Dx/Dy that shite.
DX/dy
Everything is an integral sign
and then you look it up on Wolfram alpha 'cuz you forgot the tables.
What tables
shit
differentiation/integration tables.
i need to sleep
You haven't seen the books of integration tables?
4:25
Darn it. Now I have to go to sleep too. Thanks @ExceptionalFeather
am?
of course.
ye
My clock is always set in Eastern Time Zone.
Cool, it's pm for me right now
I need to set it for UTC.
We never had any tables here
Just had like 20 formulas to learn
I hated memorizing the formulas.
And then the rest I made up
One you know five you know the rest
The beauty is how you apply them
Yeah, the tables you actually memorize are usually pretty short.
I never memorized the multiplication tables
They start getting extensive if you do really weird stuff or you were born before computers automated alot of this stuff and made explicit calculus essentially unimportant.
Still consistently got 97/98/99% in math
Elliptic integrals and nonsense.
You guys seem to be talking about something else though, whoops
You start getting a feel for where some of these formulas get strange if you take complex analysis and they start showing you some of the more bizarre integrals you can cheat out of.
And then it turns into lots of weird trick substitutions and stuff and it turns into books lying around old professor's bookshelves.
Vector algebra + calculus makes it's own rules ... and it's own set of tables.
@Scarlet It's more similar than different. Instead of multiplying stuff you're integrating stuff. But becaues integration is hard to do in general it works out to memorizing lots of derivatives (which are straightforward) and tricks.
Once upon a time, before you could simulate everything on a computer you'd have books of solved integrals for weird cases that were hard to just figure out on your own.
No one really does this stuff as much anymore. For most applied purposes you can do an approximate simulation on a computer and explicit solutions are less important than manipulations.
Theory tends to still have a good bit of integral solving.
